Though the Middle States regatta IL sched-
| uled to take place on next Monday there were
no crews on the Harlem in condition to row
| trials yesterday. and the work was in general
confined to long-distance rowing. The clubs
that took advantage Of the morning hours to
do their principal exercise were benefited by
smooth water. while in the afternoon the
choppy condition Of the river surface greatly
hampered the crews.
Great interest centres In the junior eight-
cared race and there is much speculation as to
the probable winner on Labor Day. There is Q
rumor that the Hudson Boat Club Of Yonkers
has a rod In pickle for the event by the appear
ance OF Coach Fitzpatrick on "Scullers' Row."
He watched the work Of the Harlem crews
and seemed anxious to get a line on their abil-
ity. but it is scarcely likely that he carried
any definite idea of their quality back to
Yonkers. The Metropolitan eight took it's
last long row for form and swing, and
during the week will row over the
regatta course at racing speed. Coach Ander-
son had the Dauntless Juniors out twice. They
were the last Of the Harlem crews to start
training. and naturally were still a little rag
ged. but the strong stroke they row promises to
cause trouble for the more fancied crews II the
necessary finish can be acquired during the
final week of practice.
The ~"touts". secured only little chance Of
