RUMOR ArLOAT THAT
THE RACE WAS FIXED.


VANCOUVER. b. c.. Aug. is.--Consid.
cradle dissatisfaction has been expressed
here today with the result of the Johnson
Hackett sculling race, several bets OF s2oco
having been up on the result OF the con-
test. Rumors have been in circulation
that the race was fixed. but similar state
ments had been made for several days
prior to the event. 1t has also been said
that Hackett, the loser. was under the
influence OF liquor during the race. and
that to his condition was due his had
steering.
There Is nothing to warrant this ac-
cusstion. however. Hackett has gone 10
Seattle. but upon the conclusion of the
race, In answer to a question by the ref
cree, he said he was perfectly satisfied
With the result and thereupon the ,sf-
cree gave the stakholdr a verbal order 10
pay johnson the amount Of tho side bet.
In view OF the allegations made, and be-
cause of a request made by a number OF
members of the Vancouver Rowing club
10 the referee, that he hold an investi-
CATION. w. II. Guam, the stakeholder,
says he VIII not pay over the money 10
Johnson without a written order from the
referee. and this he has not yet received.
The starter. j. III. Senkler "A prominent
amateur sportsman. does not hesitate TO
question the genuineness OF the race. but
Referee Russell. who Is the local police
judge. believes the contst Was bona iit-.
In difference 20 many requests he VIII
probably decide tomorrow to hold an m
vcstlgation, but II is doubtful II he Will
modify his decision that Johnson fairly
won the race Most of those who backed
