THE DIAMOND SOULS

Regatta - Review Rowing


into piling and snags than to be bur
dened with mirrors
Mr.. Mcdowell weighs 1872 pounds
now. is strong and healthy, and intends
to reduce to less than ITO pounds, to
make his condition for the Diamond
SOULS.
"An the best oarsmen row at about
that weight" continued the former
champion of the United States, for DR..
Mcdowell won that title in the regetta
at Saratoga in 1895. Jake Gaudaur,
the greatest oarsman that ever COM
peted. in my estimation, used to row his
best races at about 100 pounds. Gaud-
aur is in the hotel business at Rat Port
age now, but expect to see him rowing
match again some time. Once an oars
man always one, is true, / think, for
men who have tried all forms of ath-
letic sport say that they can drop back
into rowing again with perfect ease. 1
never expect to drop rowing as long as
I can make stroke.
las for training, 1 take little stock
in what some of the college trainers
prescribe for their oarsmen. ! eat
heartily of all the best food / can get
when in training, and drink plenty of
water. Of course, ! do not indulge in
alcoholic drinks, for they are the en-
emies Of the athlete. Rare meat is the

easiest digested, but it is not necessary
to eat that to the exclusion of the bet
ter-done pieces. Oarsmen train down,
never up, and the constant practice in
shell makes the muscles used in race
very supple. L think that great mis-
take is made in having rowing races
over three miles. 1t simply is a waste of
time, for any man who can stand the
ordeal for three miles and beat a rival can
beat the same man at four miles, at five
miles or at any number of miles. After
the 21s miles is passed the weaker man
is practically beaten, and to draw the
race to four miles is farce.

MY boat for the Diamond sculls2
Well, it is being built in London by .
fine maker of shells. 1t will be q regula-
ton affair, with the bottom all in one

DR.. Mcdowell became reminiscent,
and told me of an incident of his life in
Dublin, now for the first time related in
print. He was born in Ireland, and
when small boy was powerful and, as
he says, was frequently called upon by
the aristocratic lads to do bit of
fighting for them" when they had'lads

He had become quite broth of a man
before he ever rowed in a racing shell
How he discovered that he was an oars
man is a tale of interest to all lovers Of
sport and adventure-for it was an sd-
venture indeed.
Some of the boat club men of Dub
lin had been telling me for some time
that should join their party" said DR..
Mcdowell. 81 told them that had no
shell and knew nothing of rowing one.
But they made me a member of the club

purpose and applauding earnest effort
brings Mcdowell well into the Briton's
good graces, for it is seldom that an
unsuccessful competitor in an amateur
event will pay his expenses to go thou
sands of miles each year to try. try

1t is certain that Ten Eyck, who rep
resented the Wachusett Boat club when
he won in 1897, is never to be consid
cred as a factor in amateur rowing, in
asmuch as his amateur standing has
been attacked. The doctor .admires
row match with him, although he feels
absolutely certain that he can defeat
the Worcester (Mass.) lad. Mcdowell
is an example of the athlete who has
preserved his amateur standing-it is
only necessary that he be accepted as
an entry for the Diamond sculls to
prove that he is without faint of pro-
fessionalism, because the English are
very strict about their amateurs.
Should he ever turn professional-and
that is chimerical idea with the crack
oarsman-he would think it but right
due to Ten Eyck to give the latter a
race.
