Boat Races Will Be
Close and
Hard.
Myrtles Lose Men and
the HeaIanis a
Boat.
Blue Seniors Promise to be Favor

Very Promising Crew.

men for the celebration of July 4th.
for so even are the chances of the
crews which are to compete on Pear
Lochs for club glory this year, that
asm and as well quite deal of specu-
lation on the events.
The crews are hard at work, the
Myrtles being quartered at the Allen
cottage on the windward side of the
peninsula, where the men gather when
they arrive from the city in the even
ng, and spend the night, returning to
desk and counter on the morning trains.
| This gives to the men something of an
advantage over the HeaIanis, who row
during the late afternoon, returning to
the city in time to dine at the Grill
| and then separate for the night, to
meet again only when the next after
! noon train finds them ready for their
exercise.
The Myrtles have had the hardest
lanis with their boats. Lishman and
Lyle, two of the foremost men in the
red crew. are incapacitated by reason
of the dengue, and their places have
addition of Capt. Sorenson and Sam
Johnson. AS this is the first time that
Sorenson has rowed in d shell for sew
eraT years. ana last nights trip over
the course marked the sixth day of
his racing, it will be seen that even
for such an oarsman as he is it is hard
to try and find form in ten days. John
son is strong and capable and VIII
make good showing, though his row.
ing form is not of the best.
The worst piece of luck has come to
the blues. While carrying their Eng
ish shell from the water to their boat
house. one of the carriers broke, and
the stern of the shell dropped to the
badly that it has been decided to aban- |
don hope of using it and the men have
had to return to the American boat. |
which on account of its rig and oars
change in form. The crew is doing
we'll. Hebron is pulling a very good
bow, Paul jarrett and Renear are hard
workers. and Damon is a known guam |
tity.
The Myrtles have not got their speed, |
and it will not come today either, for
Johnson has not got the swing Of the |
boat as yet. The others are doing |
nicely. Crozier seeming to be a little
slow on the stroke. but both Soper and
Sorenson are making good work Of 1T.
Soper is showing the quality which
stamps him as one of the best oarsmen
produced here.
OF the juniors there seems little to
choose, though as Damon is rowing
stroke for the Myrtles. that very fact
gives the crew shade the best of the
argument for he is a cool headed and
capable man. This crew is a shade the
perhaps close to 40, the Healanis bo-
ing under 135.
The Healani crew Is not IN SO good
form as the others but the men are
hold |
their form at the start and keep their
heads there seems no reason why they
should not make the race a game one.
There is no betting as yet except as
between enthusiasts, but it may be
to suppose that the red viii
be favorite in the junior event and the
blue for the senior race.
