ABANDON SERIES

From present indications there will be
only one series Of games between Amer
ican and National League teams next

II is a certainty that the Highlanders
and the Giants will not clash and also
a foregone conclusion that the Cubs
and the Sox will not meet. To date the
only series arranged is between the Car
dinals and Browns of St Louis.

tives win the flag. and then capture the

ure they will get the money of the en-

Logically there is only one place for a
spring series on the major league cir

opening Of the championship season.
These games pay. too for in St Louis
there still is a feeling of resentment
among certain persons that the Ameri-
can League entered the Mound City and
similar feeling among another clique
which cannot forgive the National

GOTHAM CRITICS
DEFEND HENLEY
STEWARDS ACTION
Feared That Regatta
Would Discount Olym-
pia Games.

OBy Herbert" IA New York Tribune)
A correspondent writes in part as fol-
lows: What do you think Of the un-
sportsmanlike attitude OF the Henley
stewards in barring all foreign crews
from the Henley regatta next year. In
cluding the Belgians. who won the
Grand Challenge Cup two years in sue
cession? They must be afraid OF losing
the trophy"
Many oarsmen In this country. like
my correspondent, have an entirely
wrong conception OF the real motive Of
the stewards OF the Henley regatta IN
barring foreign crews this ear. They
have not acted in an unsportsmanliSe
manner; quite the contrary, and It IS
absurd even to consider an imputation
OF fear for a foreign rival Some Eng
glishmen are hard losers; so are some
Americans, and some men OF all ma
lions. but English sportsmen have never
feared a worthy foe and are not likely
TO develop the Characteristic at this late
day.

The old open conditions OF the re-
gatta will be restored IN 1903, when the

world. The regatta will be closed next
year for the very spOrtsmanlil1e reason
that the Henley stewards assented 10
make their pet fixture play second to
the Olympian regatta 1t was felt. and
wisely, that the Henley regatta coming
first would discount the Olympia and
give an unfair advantage ir thS way OF
trials 20 some foreign crews over those
Of others.
II must not be forgotten that the reso-
luton OF the stewards not 20 accept en-
tries for the Grand Challenge Cup In 1906
was adopted before the regatta this
year. and the Belgian crew had full
knowledge or tEts when II entered and
won the trophy. Unfortunately. the
reasons for the resolution were not fully
explained, or If SO, not fully understood
and herein the stewards threw them
selves open 20 much adverse criticism.
Grievance for Belgians.
The Belgian oarsmen. holders OF the
trophy. are the only ones who might
claim a grievance, and so far as can be
learned no word OF complaint has come
from them. The London Field in a re-
cent issue had the following to say or
the subject.
The situation IS admittedly abnormal
so far as this general veto for the year
having the contingent effect on barring
the technical holders. and this not on
any ground OF infringement by them OF
official amateurship. It IS this peculiar.
fly which has evoked among many
genuine rowing men belonging 20 clubs
that regularly compete at Henley. and
which have had to yield % the BelgIans
a sentiment that. Il II were possible
without making bad worse. they would
be glad 20 see some special relaxation
Of the May notice and instruction fr

1T IS probable that this sentiment &

while tempered with a sense Of prloi
obligation and public responsibility iT

Since then the Henley stewards have
met and decided ITO sacrifice persona
sentiment to general principle.
