SPORTING NOTES.
Wake up out of this trance.


How does it feel, Springfield?
Ned is still the local hero of the water
front.
Give us second baseman, Mr.. Leonard,
quick.
Boston takes the prize for turning out a
crowd
Mcguire did a baby trick when he lodged
a protest.
The Henley champion is still the Ameri-
can champion.
Mcguire couldn't beat Ten Eyck in a
steam launch.
Worcester betting is getting altogether
too bearish in its tone.
Jim Fox of Boston is a wonder for run
ming things off smoothly.
Worcester won more honors on water
than on dry land yesterday.
Well, Lewis and Ten Eyck won. That
must be consolation to Charlie.
The police of Boston have a few things
to learn concerning the use of oars
Lajoie will soon be in the game again,
despite the injured knee that is bothering
him.
Young King of the vesper crew was
plucky lad to go over after his oarlock
broke,
1t is certainly up to the speedy Bos-
tonians to find a man who can row with
the champion.
Kerns had to row the fastest he ever
did in his life yesterday and still for all
he was up against it.
Mickey, the Worcester mascot, won 35
cents on Ned Ten Eyck yesterday, and
the plunger was happy last night.
The high school boys of Boston won
their race from the crack Vesper and
N. Y. A. c. crews in fine shape.
Lewis and Kerns should not feel dis
couraged. Adverse circumstances beat
them as much as rival scullers did.

the box by substituting Killen for Miller
Walter Simpson was chosen president
of the national association yesterday
morning. It's an honor that is well de-
served.

of upland plover, and shooters will be

earnest.
It Is always a comfort to have com

cester went down stairs hand in hand
yesterday.
Arthur w. Walls said last night that
the Sportsmans Club may yet set out to
trim the wings of the Bay State Club five
men team.
There is no telling just how fast Ned
Ten Eyck can row was the universal
opinion expressed by the Worcester peo-
pie yesterday.

headers are coming pretty thick now, and
II is hard work.
Ten Eyck would be candidate for a
slow mans prize at the rate he did the
last $50 yards of his "hard race" with
the Bradford wonder"
IL Mcguire really believed he was fouled
at the turning stake he would have raised
his hand. No sculler ever forgets to do
that when a foul occurs.
Enthusiastic fishermen have abandoned
trout in favor of the less game pouts, and
the firm of Tatman & Park is reported to
have cornered the pout market
A pretty sight was the elder Ten Eyck.
