1t isn't the fault of the comittee on
management that the QuinSigamond in
ternational regatta will not meet expecta-

Grating Maguires statement that he was
fouled by Ten Eyck. Can any sensible

at the time and his back was turned He
couldn't see foul if one was committed.
The short end lost in the Ten Eyck-
| long time now, and the talent, which is
always bitten when the short end wins,
ought to give the Worcester wonder a
vote of thanks for Strengthening out

everybody knows Ten Eyck could have

man after the championship. Gaudaur
wants to race Wray OF Australia or Ten

raised and have the race held at Ottawa.

Ned Ten Eyck gave the following signed
statement to a Boston paper concerning
the alleged foul In his race with Mcguire;

he was not near enough, as / was turned
when he came for me.
