year. Eddie Durnan, who trained at
the lake several days in preparation
for a match with Ras Rogers, which
didn't come off because the Worcester
men behind Rogers forfeited their de-
post affirmed positively when he left
Worcester that he would be after the
championship next season. But he
isn't the only one. George Towns, the
present holder of the English title, is
anxious to row Jake Gaudaur for the
championship of the world, and will
give or take &100 for expenses, the
stake TO be from $3.50 to $500 side.
There has been no match for the
worlds championship since Gaudaur
won 1t from the Australian sculler
Stanbury in England, in 1896. If
Towns declaration is backed by the
necessary funds, race may be ar
ranged, though it is doubtful if eau
daur will go to England or allow
Towns expenses to come over to
Canada. The holder of the champion
ship of the world can not fairly be
asked to do either and no Canadian
who went to Australia after the title
had any allowance made to him for ex-
oenses.
Towns has nothing of championship
form in his record, though he is now
about 81 years of age. He stands about
5 feet S1a inches high and has the build
of slayer. Born in Australia he has
been rowing since he was IA years of
age, when he secured second place in
a boys race at his first attempt, After
winning a number of times in the
Junior grade, he was several times sue
