FOUR FOULS IN
THE REGATTA
Day Of Mishaps Among the
Amateur 0arsmen on Lake
Quinsigamond.

s. Titus Of the Nonpareil Boat Club of
New York today regained his title as cham
pion single sculler at the thirty-fourth an
nual regatta Of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen on Lake Quinsigamond.
OF the nine championship contests today
four were won by two lengths. two by six
lengths and two others by twenty lengths,
while the ninth, the senior eight-oared race,
resulted in foul, which caused the referee
to decide that the race must be rerowed
tomorrow morning.
In this event three crews started-the
New York Athletic Club, the Argonauts of
Toronto and the Riverside Boat Club Of
Cambridge. An eighth Of mile from the
finish the Argonauts were leading the New
Workers by half length. The coxswain
OF the Toronto crew, however, steered over
into Riverside water. and a genuine Eng
lish bump occurred. The Argonauts
stopped rowing at once, as did the River
sides. and New York jumped into the lead.
The Argonauts then started in pursuit Of
the New York eight, but were unable to
catch them. and the New York shell crossed
the line three lengths to the good. River
side did not finish. The referee decided to
disqualify the Argonauts and allow the
New York and Riverside men to fight It
out for decision tomorrow.
Titus Regains His Laurels.
Titus regained his laurels as national
| champion In a runaway match with Fred
Sheppard Of Seawanhaka Boat Club of
Brooklyn. Harry s. Bennett qualified for
the championship event by winning the
| finals in the association senior singles early
| In the day, but he did not start with the
other championship aspirants. Titus pulled
an easy race and allowed Sheppard a
slight lead until the turn was reached. but
on Strengthening out for home Titus grad
ually drew away. At the mile the Nom
pareil oarsman had the race well In hand
About half a mile from the finish Sheppard
gave up the contest. both men pedd1ing
across the finish line, making the race a
slow one.
1t was a day Of fouls, four Of them &C.
curing during the afternoon. In the inter
| mediate pair cared contest the two crews
came together twice, and each time the
referee ordered them to keep on.
In the finals for the senior four-oared
race the Winnipeg Boat Club Of Winnipeg
Manitoba, collided with the Mound City
crew OF st. Louis one-half mile from the
turn. The referee Immediately stopped the
race and, lining up the two crews with the
Ravenswood Boat Club Of Long Island City,
| the other entry, started them off again.
Winnipeg was the first to turn. and held
| the advantage, winning by two lengths.
The Most Interesting Race.
| The most interesting race Of the day was
that of the International four-oared con-
| test in which five crews started, including
| the famous Portland Rowing Club of Port
| land, Ore. 1t was a straightaway contest
down the lake for one and half miles, and
from the start 1t was a fight between the
| Nonpareils Of New York and the Pacific
coasters The two crews were nearly on
| even terms at the halfway buoy, but COM
| ing down the home stretch the Nonpareil
quartet dew ahead and won by two lengths
| The Portland crew sprinted continually for
| the last 100 yards. but had to be content
with second place. They finished two
| lengths ahead Of the Ravenswood crew of
| Long Island City, four lengths ahead of
Winnipeg men and seven lengths ahead Of
| the Metropolitans.
In the senior double SOULS, the Crescent
Boat Club Of Philadelphia was represented
/ by a very fast crew, which pulled away
| from it's three competitors from the start,
| winning by two lengths.
Harry 8. Bennett of Springfield led from
| the start in the finals for the association
| singles
| The weather was not as good as yester-
| day, a strong southerly breeze which blew
UP the lake making the water rough, espe-
| cially at the turning buoy. The sky was
| comparatively clear and the air sultry. An
| hour before the races were scheduled to be
called all the advantageous points were
| black with people.
