TEN EYCK WILL NOT ROW
AMERICAS YOUNG CHAMPION ROVER
NOT IN CONDITION.
Attended Too Many SOcfnI Functions
Since His Return from Europe
The National Regatta.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 12.-Edward H.
Ten Eyck, who recently defeated Black
static at Henley and brought the diamond
SOULS to this country, will not compete in
the national regatta to be held on the
Schuylkin river tomorrow and Saturday.
His father came to this positive determina-
ton this afternoon. He says the young
champion is out of condition in consequence
Of the social functions he has been obliged
to attend and lack of practice since his
arrival from England. Ten Eyck was to
have taken two practice spins to-day, but
after his morning row his hands, which are
badly blistered, began to bleed, and this
brought him and his parent to the resOlu-
ton not to enter the youngster in the re-
gatta~ They realize that the men entered
for the senior single event would be hard
to beat by any one not in the best shape.
The decision Of the Ten Eycks has created
much disappointment among lovers of the
sport Nevertheless the regatta is sure to
be of interest. Crack scullers and crews of
the United States and Canada are here, in
Guiding men from Toronto, Worcester,
Springfield, Boston, Providence, Newark
New York, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago
and Detroit. The greatest interest of the
regatta is centered in the senior single-shell
event, in which such cracks as Whitehead,
Juvenal, Mcguire, Van Damme Award and
Bush Thompson are entered. Next to
this event the senior eight-Oared shell is
claiming the most attention. The uniVer-
Stty of Pennsylvania varsity crew is en-
tered in this race, as is also the Weld crew
of Cambridge, composed of Harvard Sradu-
ates: All the races, with the exception of
the international four-Oared shell event and
the eight-oared shell races, will be one and
q half miles, with a turn, while the others
will be one and a half miles straight away.

HMUSEME VENTS.
Grand-Georgia MinstreIs.

The Georgia Minstrels, always one of the
first to take the road each year. appeared
at the Grand last night with one of the
best shows that organization has ever sent
out. The all-colored Ministries are becoming
more popular entertainers each year and
when the curtain went up last night on
the old-time first part the house was
packed. The audience got more than it's
moneys worth. The company is large and
the performers clever. Nearly all the popu-
lar songs were heard and several that were
entertaining enough to provoke calls for
encores repeatedly. There were good coon
songs and good white man s songs ali well
sung. Negro jokes may not suit the all, but
last night they kept the people amused
and sometimes noisy. Billy Kersands, while
the star of the organization, was by no
means all the show. In the second part the
colored people had an opportunity TO show
their cleVerneSs in the speciality line. VIII
liam Stays limitations went well and DE
ing that developed into an uproar when a
on and chased the entire outfit off the stage.
THE Great Gauze" made hit with his
female voice representations. Billy Ker-
sands, with his revised edition of the old
essence dance, was reserved for the last
and he was recalled until he was tired. The
performance winds up with an afterpiece
entitled Mn Johnson Turn Me Loose
that requires the services of all the COM
pany. 1t has several funny spots. The min
StrelS will remain here the rest of the week,
with a Saturday matinee.

for Remainder of Season.
w Western League.

The Indianapolis team left at 11:40 yes
terday morning via Chicago for st. Paul,
where the battle will be renewed this after
noon. The thirteen men are all in fine
shape and, barring accidents, are expected
to make such showing on this final
Western trip as to clinch their already ex-
celent hold on the pennant. The Saints
are tough customers to beat on their own
grounds and it will be surprising thing
indeed if the leaders do better than one
in three up there. Meanwhile Columbus
will be having an easier time with the Grip
pied Millers and may crawl up a little on
Indianapolis. AS the conditions viii be re-
VerSed Monday, however, things will even
up. After these twelve games in the West
thirteen if that postponed Minneapolis
game is played off-Watlzins's men will
have thirteen to play with the Western
teams here. Then they go over to Column
bus for two games, Sept. and 9, and re-
turning home, meet Detroit for three
Grand Rapids for two and Columbus for
four games, the last named closing the
season on the home grounds. On Sept IS
and 10 they play at Grand Rapids and finish
up Sept. 20 and q at Detroit. The present
trip is exciting more interest than any
this season and news from the games will
be watched with more than ordinary Gu
riosity owing to the row COmiskey's men
kicked UP while here and the episode
which resulted in the election from the

detectives Ruse.

Detectives McGuff and Wilson yesterday
evening arrested Alfred Spann, who says
he is the stepson of w. w. Wolf q rail-
way conductor living on Jefferson avenue.
Spann had a bicycle in his possession when
arrested, and the detectives say he was
trying to sell it. He said the wheel be-
longed to his stepfather, Wolf, but de-
clared the latter gave him permission to
use it, Wolf and his wife are at present
visiting in Spencer, Ind. The detectives
wired him concerning the wheel but did
not mention Spann's connection with it, The
answer came back: wheel been stolen. Ar
rest stranger" Spann had in his possess
sion a pawn ticket which had been recent
ly issued. 1t was a receipt for an out
ing wheel, which, it was claimed, dlsap-
peared in 1896. The firm which handled the
wheel said a man rented it and failed to
return it. Spann was locked up.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Boston won two
games from the Giants here to-day The
first game was characterized by good play
ing and the game was in doubt until the
last New Yorker had gone to bat in the
twelfth inning. Sullivan's easy-looking out
shoots gave the Giants a great deal of
trouble and Mee1in was nearly as effective
as the Boston man. In the second game
the New Yorks had things going their way
