GREAT BOAT RACE
FOR JAMESTOWN FAIR

NEW YORK, October 23-K plans COM
pleted yesterday are successful Americans
Will be able to see the greatest boat race
that has ever been contested The idea is
TO oppose the winners of the Poughkeepsie
and New London regattas and the winning
crew in the great Oxford Cambridge race,
which Is annually contested on the Thames
In England The effect OF this will be not
only to decide which of the American crews
Is entitled to the college championship but
also to select a worlds championship eight
which would be practically unbeatable. The
proposition has been under consideration
for some time, and the plan is to hold the
race on the James river next year, at the
jamestown exposition.
Henry Philip Burchell, a New York sport
ing editor, will leave for England today on
the Cunard liner Carmania as the special
commissioner Of the jamestown exposition
for the purpose of inviting the winner of
the great British 1ntervarsity rowing con-
test to meet the winners of the Yale-Har-
ward race together with the winners of the
intercollegiate eight-oared event at Pough-
keepsie. The English collegians will be Of
fered the opportunity of a dual contest with
the winner of the New London contest, or
to take part in a three-cornered race which
will include the winner of the varsity race
at Poughkeepse.
Immediately upon his arrival Commits
sioner Burchell will place himself in COM
| munication with the presidents OF the Ok
ford and Cambridge boat clubs. Should Ok
ford and Cambridge decline the invitation
Commissioner Burchell will endeavor to ar
range for a race between the combined Ok
ford and Cambridge boats and the Leander
and London rowing crews.
The agreement to hold an international
rowing regatta at the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton was reached at a conference held In
New York between r. H. Sexton OF the
jamestown exposition and the members OF
the executive committee OF the National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen.
Assurance has been received that one or
more of the clubs from Europe will send
crews.

The New Betting Scheme.

The New Betting Scneme.
The new scheme did away with the plan
whereby you got something to show for
the money you so gayly tossed into the
hands of the bookmaker. Under the old
plan you got a ticket with the name of
your horse and the amount OF your bet
scrawled on 1t. and the ticket gave the
club name and address Of the bookmaker
along the big line to whom you had in
trusted your coin. The ticket was your
receipt, and If, basking in the benevolence
of the Lady Fortune you did, by some odd
mischance. happen to win bet. all you
had to do was to trudge lightly up to your
bookmakers cashier, slip him your ticket
and look pleasant while he counted the
negotiable securities into your hand.
That was the system that the poolroom
folks forced the race track people to do
away with. AS 1t is. now, on the eastern
tracks, including the Benning track. when
you want to stake yourself to ounce by
betting on some four-hoofed thing that
fills your eye and your Imagination, you
grovel up to some bookmaker who looks
less austere and cussful than the others
and you worm your way as best you can
up to a place where You can catch fleet
ing and vagrom glances at his list OF
prices, which Is Of about the size of a
little kindergarten girls first slate. II the
naughty boOkmaker, upon nis first con-
temptuous glance at you, doesn't hate the
color of your hair or loathe and despise
the shape of the hat you are wearing, he
will grab your money out OF your hand
and ask you whatcha want In tone like
