INTEREST IN THE CREWS TO BE SENT
ABRoAD-GossIP AT THE CLUBS
The Harlem River oarsmen are much intsrss..a
in the crews that the National Association wfU
send to Paris to represent this country in the n,
ternationa race that will be held there next MORN
and the chances Of the crews winning the races
In which they will be entered were widely disc1ssa5
Yesterday The consensus OF opinion was that ,ba,
would acquir themselves creditably against the ba.
crews Of Europe The elder Ten Eyck fa,ba-
Of f. II. Ten Eyck the champion single scull.r
has declined to say much about his sons chance.
but he hopes. Of course. that he will win. He mi
sail with his son on the Westsruland on Wad,o,
day. He thinks the vesper eight win probably vi,
although it Will have to row against the e.zb,,
OF England drawn from the great universities and
elsewhere.
Another burning topic OF interest among the to,,,
oarsmen Is the present standing OF John Rgp,,s-
the scuer OF the Harlem Rowing Club WIN -
the National championship at the recent reza,,,
OF the National association by default becan,-
Ten Eyck. the only other entry. failed 70 ron
Many thought that the National association sbo,14
have stretched point two and sent Rurno5r -
Paris. in addition to Ten Eyck. a subscrD,,o.
was started IN the Harlem Rowing Club to rs,s.
funds to send Rumohr over. anyhow. and it quleklv
assumed generous proportions. II was rsDor-s1
yesterday. however. that the matter had basn
dropped. This has created much comment

Amateur Oarsmen had lntimated in an unmistaE
able manner that It would not indorse Rumohr,s
entry in the Paris races As he would nor ~
permitted to row in the races without being sBIv
accredited by the association the whole ms-tsr
was dropped
On the other hand. IL was asked WHY R.r,,h
had been permitted 10 in the NatoEaI Regat,a
If the National Association would NOT indorza bi,
entry IN the Paris races There has been 50 ruu.b
said about RumOhr that it seems the Natior.I
Association must necessarily clear the air bv =
