London. April 22.-The Daily Telegraph
concludes a series of rowing articles by
An Old Blue" who. in addition to being
an English university oarsman. acted at
one time a Harvard coach and there
fore is supposed from the English point
of view to speak with authority on Amer
lean athletics.
The articles in question cover the
whole field of the coming international
races at Henley very thoroughly. but
they are neither very complimentary TO
the American rowing system nor gener-
Gus in the view of American amateur
purity. They begin with the question
whether the American crews should be
welcomed at all to Henley. To this query.
the writer yields rather grudglnS ac-
ceent on the general theory that, if Eng
land cannot put good enough crew at
Henley to win against anything, either
amateur or professional, which America
can send. then she had better go out of
rowing. At the same time he warns the
stewards to scrutinze carefully the
American entries. especially those of
Pennsylvania and the Dauntless Club of
New York. This club he regards as par
ticularly open to suspicion because he has
never heard of it before.
DlSCuSSIuS lllc tIIil'loN tliSllt VI VI oASS-
sional coaching in America, the writer
remarks that the American post graduate
"would not waste his time so far as to
coach a crew a ALL and he adds:
Even if he did his possible pupils re-
quire something far more serious thai.
anything they could get out of any ex-
cept paid, and we'll paid, employment.
They ask of their coach what they are
cheerfully ready to give themselves and
that is the best the heart, brain. SOUL
body and experience can summon to the
one task of discovering how to win.
This trait of wanting to win is solemn
~ discoursed upon at some lenngth to
the conclusion that winning fairly is but
a side issue in athletic contests, and has
developed among Americans into posi-
tive vice.
The writer argues that, While an
American crew may be dangerous on the
mile and a quarter course at Henley.
America is not likely to develop an eight
that can outstay the crack varsity crew
on the four mile course at Putney
The writer concludes in part:
DO we welcome them. tthe American
crews) this year? Of course We do, fully
and heartily and Without reserve and We
are confident. even if all American COM
petitors do not read these columns, they
have Loyalty tried to fulfill the conditions
of the Henley regatta entries. If any
have not done SO. We look to the stewards
to prevent any bother. The guardians of
English amateur rowing can never be too
careful Let the stewards permit Penn
Sylvania to prove TO her compatriots as
we'll as to ourselves that the old sug-
sestions about buying up good athletes
are absolutely baseless. 1t will be inds-
pensable at Henley. The National
Amateur Association in the United States
has done nothing whatever in little
question about Ten Eyck, which came
up a short time ago. Let us have no
such uncertainty on this side

ton.

According to complaint made to
County Auditor Crossman to-day. the
business Of conducting a lodging house
in Butte is not quite so remunerative as
some persons have been led to imagine.
The complaint was woman, and the
object of her visit was to secure assist
ance from the county with which to pay
her rent. She told the auditor she had
been conducting a lodging house hav-
ing ten rooms, for which she paid
monthly rental of $50, but could not make
expenses and was in arrears with her
rent, although she owned her own fur
niture. Under the circumstances the
auditor could do nothing for her.
few days ago a stylishly dressed
woman with gold watch hanging at
her belt, asked the auditor for help
from the county funds. but her request
was also cenied without much cere-
mOnv.
In some cases which seem to have
merit the applicants are questioned
closely and their cases investigated aft
erwards. but in neither of the two men,
toned was an investigation deemed
necessary.
