SCULLER PAPE RETIRES

Champion Amateur Leaves Title to

This Year

A w Pape, the well-known mem
Der of the Dolphin Boating Club and
the Olympic Athletic Club, who has
been the amateur champion single
scuIler of the Pacific Coast for several
years, will probably take part in no
more rowing races. He wrote recent
" to Gloss, the amateur champion
single-sculler of the Northwest, who
is a member of the Portland Rowing
Club, a letter in which he stated that
he intends to retire from racing.
BY the retirement of A. w. Pape,
the Portlander becomes the champion
amateur single-sculler of the Pacific
Coast. He has stated that he is ready
TO defend the title against all comers.
as he does not wish to hold his title Of
champion merely by default. He is
practicing regularly with a view to be-
ing in condition to meet any scuIlers
who may challenge him. He is desir-
Gus to pull against Fred Ayers of the
Alameda Boat Club or any oarsman
of Puget Sound. He hopes that Fred
Ayers of Alameda and De Brissey of
British Columbia will visit Portland
during the coming summer at the time
of the annual regatta of the North
Pacific Association.
There is a good prospect that row.

YACHTS WILL SAIL
ON SPRECKELS LAKE
New Sheet of Water VIII Be Avail
able for Washington Birth
day Races.

The model yachtsmen are anxiously
awaiting the formal opening Of
Spreckels Lake in Golden Gate Park.
There is at present about two feet OF
water in the lake and it is expected
the necessary four feet will be in by
the 22d inst. Arrangements are un-
der way for the first big race meet to
be held on that date.
MANY of the small craft have been
skimming Stow Lake during the past
two weeks, but the sport will be much
better when the new lake is ready for
use. There is much more wind there
than at stow Lake and the facilities
for sailing generally are much bet
ter. The banks of the old lake are
not as good for landing as those of
the new and the yachtsmen will have
less trouble from this source.
The time allowance this year will
be seven seconds to the inch. With
the new measuring machine it will be
possible to get the exact measure
ments, and this, with the amount Of
canvas carried, will determine the
allowance. This will work rather a
hardship on some of those who have
already built large boats B. Jurgen' s
Tampa is one of the largest boats, IS
inches, and will have to allow many
inches to the shorter boats.
Nearly all the craft this year are
sIoop rigged. Commodore Cunning
has a seventy-two-inch model rugged
this way and she has proved fast in
trial heats.
William Brown, the pioneer model
yacht owner of San Francisco, has a
new miniature yacht called the D.
CerelIi. 1t is a ty-nine-inch model
and is fast,
Vice Commodore Henry London is
still sailing the Imp. This boat car
ried off many prizes last year and the
owner expects it to do the same this
year. L. E. Gaudy and Commoddre
Cunning are sailing the sister boats.
Lulu and Witch, every Sunday. They
have been altered since their last ap-
pearance and it would be hard to say
which is the faster.
Many of the yachtsmen will be out
tomorrow sailing their boats on the
new lake. There will be some i'm
promptu races and the owners will be
able to get a line on the different
boats.

The Vampires stand at the head Of

The Thistles and Vampires will almost
certainly win their games tomorrow,
so that the relative positions of the
two teams will remain unchanged.
The Independents draw the bye to-
