ALL RACES IN REGATTA ARE
H0TLY CONTESTED
MINNESOTA BOAT CLUB TAKES

intermediate Double Souls Affair Goes
to Philadelphia, with Nassau and
New York A. C. Finishing
In Order Named

BY Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Aug. 14.-The
seven races rowed on he Connecticut,
the first day of the national regatta,
were all holly contested. The honors of
the day. as far as the clubs were con-
cerned, rested with the Minnesota Boat
club of st. Paul. which captured the
intermediate tours and Fights; St.
Mary's Athletic association of Halifax,
N. S., which won the association singles
and the senior initial tours; the West
Philadelphia Boat club, whose oarsmen
finished ahead in the intermediate
SOULS and the intermediate pairs, and
the Springfield Boat club. whose pair,
Bennett and Warnock, beat their three
opposing pairs in the senior double
SOULS.
Sour pairs started in the senior
doubles, the Springfield, New York A.
c., st. Alphonsus of Boston and the st.
Louis club. The start was good, and
for the first quarter the New York
team led by short length. Then
Springfield gained and the two crews
spun around the turning buoys on even
terms Two hundred yards from the
finish Springfield was leading, but War
mock began to break and Bennett won
the RAGE practically alone by ten feet.
The best event of the day was the In
termediate double SOULS, eight pairs
getting away at the gun. The first half
was a pretty contest between West
Philadelphia, Nassau and Rochelle.
Coming home, Philadelphia drew away
and crossed the line, rowing easily, al
though Nassau and the New York A.
c. crews had a hot fight for second
place, finally crossing the line in the
order named.
The river conditions today were
matchless, while the weather was warm
enough to suit all hands.

ALL READY FOR
AQUATIC RACES
NAPLES EXPECTING LARGE
CROWD SUNDAY
NORTHERN SWIMMERS APPEAR
FULL OF CONFIDENCE
Southerners Count on Abegg and Wat
Ilngton, and Contests Between
These TWO Should Be
Full of Interest

The entry list to the fifth annual
swimming tournament for the cham
pionships of Southern California will
close at 8 o'clock tonight at the Dyas-
Cline sporting goods house. The first
event in the tournament will be started
at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at
Venice, and, judging from the many in
quiries which Secretary Leslie Henry
has received, there will be bigger
crowd at Naples than ever before to
witness the races between the fastest
swimmers west of the Rocky noun
tains.
The Naples car leaves the Pacific
Electric railroad at the corner of Sixth
and Main streets, or those who desire
can go to Long Beach and transfer
there for Naples.
The opinion of the northern SWIM
mers at San Francisco, as expressed in
a letter to Secretary Leslie Henry of
the Southern California Swimming as
ISOLATION from a northern sportsman,
is to the effect that there will be moth
ing but Bromley and Pomeroy left
when the roll is called for the winners
to step up and receive their prizes.
The northerners even say this in the
face of the fact that Their representa-
tives have little or no practice in out
of-door swimming, as their former rec
ords were made in a swimming tank.
AS the best way to prove the value of
these assertions is through the results
of the tournament itself the local boys
are saying nothing, but they will work
hard tomorrow.
All the events will be run off in heats
because of the unusually large entry
list. The special events, such as the
high and fancy diving and the mile
motor boat race, will be run off be-
tween the regular swimming races.
Walter Abegg, the champion swim
mer of Switzerland, who has been
training for the tournament at the
Bimini baths, will rest today. He re-
ports that he never was in better con-
dition and is sure to give Ben Waiting
ton and the northern stars the race of
their lives. sAbegg has had success
full entree into the swimming circles of
Southern California. Last February he
met Ben Warrington at the Bimini
baths in a match swimming race, but
was defeated. Later, however, he swan
a 5O0-yard match race with Ben at San
Pedro and defeated the Los Angeles
Athletic club star handily. In both
these races the loser claimed to be
under form. Today they say they are
in excellent shape, so the probable re-
suit Of the race between these two
southern stars will be that the one VINO
is actually the best man wins. Walter
Abegg and Ben Warrington are entered
in the 220 the 440 and the SS0-yard
dasheS.

WHERE TO FISH

With favorable tides and continued
good weather midweek fishing was all
that could be desired at the majority
of the beach resorts. There We're OF
course off days at nearly all of the re-
sorts, but on the whole the results
were satisfactory.
Yellowf1n and sea trout led all other
varieties of fish the past week, both in
numbers and size, and many good
baskets of these delicious fish reward
ed the sportsman who was equipped
with sand crabs and live bait.
Mackerel are becoming more plentltui
and corbina have been running well.
They average small IN size put make up
in numbers what they lack In weight.
Calico and black sea bass have been
plentiful, and of course the small fry,,
herring, sardines, smelt, tomcod and
kingfiSh were to be had at all times
during the week.
Trawling parties have been rewarded
in a princely manner all the week, and
yelloWtail, albicore, barracuda and boz
nita were brought in by the boat load
on several days. Considerable inn
provement was noted in other kinds or
fish.
Tomorrow does not give much prom
Use, however, for good fishing, as there
is but one high tide and that at lz:zJ
o. M, with a rise of ga. Low water
comes at 6:27 p. M, with a drop to IL

order of the tin can to him. The pan
ming" he got from the local sporting
press was complimentary in vein in
comparison to what the eastern writ
ers are handing him. If there is a
sport page in the country east of the
Rockies that has not been adorned
with most emphatic and sarcastic
"knock" of all things relating to the
Boer it has not been discovered. The
beatings that Tommy Murphy and
Dick Hyland gave him soured the east
on him and he is not wanted He has
been urged to go back to the Trans

burst as quickly as did the Unholz
balloon. That is just what is coming
to all who get gay, and it is inevitable,
too Down east, the fight critics say
that he might make a good wrestler,
but as a fighter-please take it away
and bury 1t.
The stage, not content with invading
the pugilistic field for its stellar attrac-
lions, has begun an invasion of the
baseball diamond. Mike Donlin and
wife a few days ago signed o contract
for ten weeks back of the footlights
for the paltry sum of $4,000 a week. This
is on the level, and is no press agent
Pop Arson made dismal failure of his
theatrical stunt, but Donlin and his
wife probably will make good. Mike
will not be losing any diamonds while
en- tour, but he will mop up with any
rough house guys who happen to be
seeking engagements al la fisticuffery,
and will get his share of free adver-
Using. His success with the New

his elevation or whatever 1t is.
1t is about. time the Fighters were
kicking in with their lineup for the
game with the Press Boys That is,
unless the Fighters are getting a case
of yellow goods. They have not acted
like bunch of enthusiasts since the
game was arranged, and 1t looks like
they are four-fushing, but If they get
up enough interest to announce their
lineup today all will be well. Other
wise they must stand convicted of a
bad streak of cowardice. The game
has been arranged, and 1t is high time
the Press Boys were given some indica-
ton of the intention of the challengers.
If they mean business they must give
their lineup today and confer with the
committee of the press team regarding
the details. The game is to be played
Monday afternoon, if at all.

Arnold Stops Sullivan
The preliminary was a scheduled 10
round scrap between Sailor Sullivan,
late of Uncle Sans navy, and Jake
Arnold, the clever Whittier boy who
always has been prime favorite with
local fans from the first time he
donned the gloves. There was consid-
cradle betting on this prelim, strange
to say, as the friends of the sailor boy
who had seen him fight at San Diego
and elsewhere figured him a cinch to
win by the knockout route, and were
betting that way, although they ac-
cepted any old odds that Arnold would
whip him on points. A delay of sew
eral minutes was caused by the fall
ing dew which settled on the ring and
made the going sloppy. After a few
moments delay the boys were called
to the center of the ring and instruct
ed how to conduct themselves during
the hostile period, and Referee Tommy
Walsh signaled for the gong.
They went at it rough house style
from the first, and throughout the
round they landed frequently and eff
fectively, but the mat was so slick that
they hardly could stand, and this pre-
vented them from fighting at their
usual clip. Sullivan is a better rough
house scrapper, while Arnold is faster
and cleverer.
Jake stepped to the center of the
ring for the second round and began
to pepper Sullivan with left jabs to the
chin. He kept Sullivan's head work
ing like a triphammer and the sailor
boy finally fell from exhaustion. He
attempted to rise, but fell again. When
he was able to rise Walsh began to
count, but at four Sullivan arose. He
was so weak he could not stand I'M
aided, however, and Walsh stopped the
fight, awarding the decision to Arnold.
Sullivan's face was covered with blood,
while Arnold bore a punctured right
eye as evidence that he had stopped
some of the sailor boys jabs.
