OARSM[N "SORE At"
HENLEY STEWARDS
Say They Should Not Be Held
Responsible for Transgres-
sions OF the vespers.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. July 21.-Ths
threatened action OF the Henley stewards
against American rowing clubs, even though
it may finally amount to nothing technically,
has stirred up the local rowing element.
They feel that II Is unjust to American
amateur oarsmen to hold them responsible
because the vesper Boat Club transgressed
the laws OF amateurisn,. In no amateur
organization are the rules lived up to as
relfgiously as In the National Association,
and this, they claim, has been amply DEM
onstrated by the punishment inflicted on
offending oarsmen at tire last meeting OF
the executive committee of the National
Association. Oarsfnen argue that the best
evidence that the officials intend to keep
the sport clean Is the fact that transcript
OF the meeting was forwarded TO the
Henley stewards. although there was no
necessity for such action.
1t is pointed out that rowing was never
In healthier condition In this country
than at present. and oarsnen in this coun-
try compare favorably with those of any
other 1t Is held that the introduction

ing clubs from competition is reflection
On the sport as conducted In this country
The Henley regatta has never really been
a popular institution with American oars
men. The exclusiveness of the ruling body
and their arbitrary actions In dealing with
American oarsmen have been thorn IN
the side OF the rowing element mere.
For some time It has been felt that the
money contributed toward the expenses or
American crews could be better used in the
development Of the sport at home. There
is a growing sentiment against sending
crews to England. especially as the Brit
fshers do not show any disposition to re-
turn the compliment. No English crew
has rowed in American waters since the
London Rowing Club. Thames Rowing Club
and Dublin Boat Club crews competed In
the centennial exposition regatta at Phila-
deIphia In 1875.
