Now that Regatta Day is close at
hand the interest in the line of sport is
centered on the races between the
Myrtles and the Healanis. The two
clubs are both working hard and the
fact that the Myrtles will not use the
ALT Rogers in the race this year win
give the Healani club more confidence
than they have had heretofore.
The Myrtle crews are working every
night and should be in fine shape fol
the race which comes off a week from
next Saturday. The senior crew which
is composed of Frank Bechert as
stroke, F. F. Bechert No. 5, Chas. Pad
AIKEN No. 4, Sam Johnson No. 8, Louis
Underwood No. and Bob Hughes No.

Frank Bechert. who is rowing stroke,
probably has the best form of any man
in the boat. His catch is snappy and
strong and his drive is carried clean
through. He is quick with his hands
on the recovery and his slide work is
as slow and deliberate as that of the
old-timer Olaf Sorenson, who is the
father of this stroke and who has won
SO many races with it.
F. F. Bechert at No. could improve
a little on his recovery. He is inclined
to linger a little at the finish of his
stroke and does not get his hands away
from his body quick enough, conse,
quently in order to catch up he has to
rush his slide little. Chas. Padaken
at No. has good catch and drive but

as well in his case. When I returned

REGATTA DAY To

Picked Team Challenges st.
Louis for Contest on
September Il.

The latest proposition in the baseball
line is for game between the st. Louis
Champions and the Picked nine which
is captained by Eddie Fernandez, to be
Day. Such a contest would certainly
be interesting. In the first game OF
this kind the Champs won out rather
easily, but it must be remembered that
the Picked team had never 8layed to-
gether before, while since they have
had good practice and will have more
before the event is to come off, There
is no reason that Fernandez and his
nine should not win out. as they have
as strong team as can be picked up
here and with a little team play should
be top-notchers. The following chal-
lenge was sent to the ST. Louis club
yesterday:

CRUISER TEAMS
IN BALL GAMES
Pennsylvania and Colorado Win
in Series for Hongkong
Cup.

Two interesting games of ball were
played at the League grounds yester-
day by the teams from the four cruis-
ers which are now in port. In the
first contest the Pennsylvania defeat
ed the West Virginia by a score of
81, after game which was not de-
eided till the last inning had been
played. In the second game the Col
orado defeated the Maryland ~, the
winners taking the lead from the first
and holding their own throughout the
contest.
The West Virginia put UP a stub
born contest against the Pennsylvania
and the two runs scored in the ninth
inning were all which allowed victory
to go to the warship named after the
keystone state. Hard batting was
responsible for the Penns' victory,
aided by poor fielding on the part of
the fiagship's' men. AS the games were
for the Hong.kong cup, under the gift
OF which no officers are allowed to
diamond and the officers sat by in
civilian clothes and were simply able
to aid with advice to their various
teams.
Calderhead did some fine batting,
making a single and a two Dagger.
both of which showed up in the final
score. Monroe's three Dagger in the
seventh, which was followed by Par
fhn
Virginia's men to place fear in the
hearts of the ultimate winners but to
no avail. Callahan made a two bag
ger in the second which brought in
Ia much needed run, but all the work
done could not pull out a victory.
O'Connor played a clean fast game
at short for the Penns, and McGinn
at the same position for the flagship
also put up fine exhibition. The
batting was better than-it has been
in the past and the men are getting
their eyes on the ball and should make
a much better showing when they
play on Saturday, than they did
week before.
In the second game the Maryland
team lost out through poor fielding.
Tenney, who started the game in the
box for the Maryland, retired in favor
of Hart, in the second inning. Hart
pitched fine ball and with good sup
port should have won his game. He
was cool when he had men on bases
and deserved much closer score than |
the results show,
One of the features of the game was
a stop made by Miller in the fifth, |
when Poppewell drove hard ground |
er over second. He made clean work |
of what seemed to be an impossible |
chance and threw to first, getting his |
man before he was halfway to the
base.
