O4RSMEN OUT IN FORCE
Race for High School Boys Promises
To Be Interesting.

That the Memorial Day regatta is at hand
plainly evident by the host of craft yesterday
the Harlem River. The weather was
ideal for rowing. and many of the oarsmen had
time trials. Singles, doubles. fours and eights
and every other known form of shell might have
been the river during the day.
The race among the schoolboys should furnish
of the most interesting of the day. If
the opinion Of the coaches of these crews counts
for anything. Alderman Jack Mulcahy, who is
preparing the Stuyvesant High School crew, when
youngsters worked like troopers last week." he
said. ''and what is more gratifying is that they
keep on improving all the time. They are quick
learning and their deep interest in the work
makes practice delight TO them. I believe that
they would be satisfied TO 10 Coney Island IL
that were possible. for when / tell them that they
have had enough practice for day they seem

They are pulling strong stroke and II they are
beaten 1 shall be much disappointed"
Those who have seen the De Witt Clinton crew
work under the direction Of Clarence Mase. as
sisted by Jack Doyle voice the opinion that IL will
take q mighty strong to beat il. The boys
forming the crew have been steadily improving.
and have already reached that stage of perfection
that they would ready to race tomorrow
The bows of the High School OF Commerce crew,
which won the race last year are determined 70
win the honor again this year. and this end
are working faithfully. The put in some long
and hard practice on the river last week.

COMMENT ON SPORTS
THE R4SEB4LL FIGHT.
Nescs and Tiescs on Current Topics,
amateur and Professional.

Now that the first clash between the Eastern
and Western teams in the two major leagues
has come the followers of the Giants and the
Yankees have every cause TO feel satisfied with
the outlook for at least one If not two chan-
r,ior7ship pennants this year. OF course. the
time for raising the flags has not come, and the
teams in both leagues are too well matched
Judging from games played, to arouse any feei-
ing stronger than hope, but there is good rea-
son for feeling jubilant with both teams hght-
ing in the van and with bright prospects or
staying there. That the Eastern. clubs in the
National League are much stronger this year
than they have been for some time is now
something more than a boast, and this means
much as last season the Giants had 10 do prac-
ricaIly ali the fighting themselves getting little
or no help from the other teams in the East
when opposed 70 their Western rivals The
first test Of strength last week indicated this
and while the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburg
Pirates will be a constant menace they wiz
not be feared to the same extent as a year ag ,,
and that in itself counts for something Judg-
ing from the early games, the Western teams
in the American League appear collectively
stronger than those in the East but New York
and Philadelphia can he counted on 10 hold
their end up even if Boston and Washington can
lend little help

ON THE GOLF LINKS.
Metropolitan Championship This
Weeks AttractiOn-Ot Ne1Cs.

Among the golfers all eyes will turn toward the
Baltusrol links this week where the tenth annual
championship tournament Of the Metropolitan Golf
Association will begin Wednesday and finish
Saturday. Oddly enough, this will be the first
time in the history of the organization that the
Metropolitan Golf Association has fit to select
Baltusrol for its championship, although practical
ly all the other important attractions. such as the
national amateur open and womens and women's
metropolitan to say nothing OF the New Jersey
tournament, have been decided there at different
times
The entry list which has closed with the secre-
tary, Leighton Calkins, shows that the field will
be of It's usual high class. and among those who
will be watched closely Jerome D. Travers, of
Montclair, the title holder; Walter J. Travis of
Garden City; Findlay s. Douglas Nassau; George
T. Brokaw Deal Fred Herreshoff. Garden City;
Gilman P. Tiffany, Powelton: Max Behr. Morris
County Archie Graham North Jersey, and Charley
Seely, Wee Burn.
Travers started the season inauspiciously by be-
ing defeated In tournaments at Atlantic City and
Garden City. but the way he went through his
field at Huntington Valley last week will serve to
give his friends renewed confidence. An Indifferent
long game has handicapped him not a little thus
far. The Montclair crack won two tournaments at
Baltusro last year and plays the course we'll.
Travis, on the other hand, has distin-
guished himself there, and incidentally veteran
has not hesitated to criticise the Short Hills
course. but since he lost there in the national
championship in 1904 many Improvements have been
added, until now Baltusrol Is recognized as being
Of the best trapped eighteen hole circuits in
the East.
Douglas, Graham Herreshof, Behr and Tiffany
will also be worth watching. The latter has not
been playing in tournaments for nearly a year
but report has it that his game is as good as ever
Herreshoff always liked Baltusrol so does
Behr, who plays it in low figures.
The Onondaga Golf Club. OF Syracuse. has shown
commendable enthusiasm IN arranging a seasons
schedule. Beginning with the ball sweepstakes on
Saturday, the list calls for something in compet-
tive way every week until well into October The
club championship will not begin until September
26. The members are interested in the Central
New York Golf League championship. which will
be held this season at Albany, July I'll

The Giants lost two out of three games to
Pitrsburg and broke even in two games with
Cincinnati last week. This was not much to
boast Of but they held their own in the league
race, thanks 10 some help from Philadelphia
and BROOKLYN. each of which took a game from
the Chicago Cubs. On Friday the East made
clean sweep against their Western foes, Phfla-
delphia fairly burving Pittsburg, while Brook
lyn furnished something Of a surprise by de-
feating Chicago the worlds champions. The
Giants did not suffer in comparison with the
Pirates in the series at Pittsburg. in spite of
the fact that they lost two Of the three games
PLAYED Judging from reports the team might
have won the first game If the men had been
wider awake TO opportunities. In the third
game Mathewson- was not himself and lost his
first game of the season, after winning seven
straight He lost another 10 Cincinnati, but can
be depended on TO keep his end up throughout
the season. barring accidents. The Giants must
play one more game with Cincinnati to-day, and
then go on TO St Louis for four games. The
first clash with the worlds champions will come
on Sunday. and when that important series is
over the fans will he able TO judge even better
than at present as to what the chances are for
the pennant 10 fly over the Polo Grounds next
fall The Superbas did not fare particularly
well at ST. Louis but that victory over Chicago
helped to cheer their followers up. Philadelphia
Is climbing fast and may have something TO say
about where the pennant belongs. The team
won the three games played last week, beating
Chicago once and fairly hunbling the Pirates
by shutting them out twice. McQuillen an old
Jersey City pitcher. won two of the three games
and is likely 70 develop into one Of the stars Of
the year.

The Yankees are still leading the American

hold the place, for the time being. at least
They won two out Of three games from Cleve-
land and all from Detroit last week which was
more than satisfying. They lost the first game

veritable Chinese puzzle. but there was some
excuse for this, Joss was pitching in rare
form and has now won seven straight games.
On Saturday the Yankees found the American
League champions stronger than their standing
in the race would indicate, but the game was
nnarred by so much petty wrangling that il was
not possible TO judge Of the relative merits OF
The team. Elberfeld is not sadly missed at

approved style and playing such a steady and
at times brilliant game that he is fast becom-

Chicago for three, and the fans are counting
on New York winning four Of the six games

Yankees are playing winning ball, showing
strength both in the field and at the bat.
