EYES ON THE MEN.
Everyone Watching the Expert scuIlers at
The Lake.

With the approach of the national
and Quinsigamond international re-
gattas, the interest in the work of the
men who will represent Worcester in
ereases, and is closely watched by
friends.
The entries of Ten Eyck in the cham
pionship single souls, Lewis in the as
ISOLATION senior single souls, Kerns in
the intermediate single souls, and Ten
Byck and Lewis in the senior double
souls were sent yesterday to Secretary
Fred R. Fortmeyer by President Meag-
her of the Wachusett Club.
Ten ENck has reached his form and is
sending his shell through the water at
its accustomed pace. Kerns is rowing
better than when he went to the New
England regatta, and unless he runs
into more hard luck should get away
with the intermediates. Lewis has
been unable to come to form this sea-
son. Y hen he rowed Kubic at SPRING
neld, ne was within rs seconds of his
form last fall, when he defeated Kubic.
since his return from the New England
regatta he has been given extra hard
work by Jim Ten Eyck. Lewis will
have TO be at his best when he rows
at the national as he will likely en-
counter some of the best men in the
country, aside from Ten Eyck White
mead and Mcguire. One man he is al
most sure to meet is Jimmy Juvenal of
the Pennsylvania Barge Club of Phila-
delphia-
Juvenal is the present holder of the
Harlem Association diamond medal.
which was held last year by Ten Eyck,
lie is very fast man, and unless Lewis
gets into his best shape Juvenal may
get away with the prize. Another rea-
son for Lewis to get going is the fact
that he and Ten Eyck will start to de-
fend their title of champion in the Sc
Nor doubles. Philadelphia will send up
fast double and other clubs are en-
Vlous of the Wachusetts' laurels.
All the men were out yesterday and
put in a hard days work. Besides
them Jim Ten Eyck, Harry Crowley
and John Harrington were in their
shells.
