THE SPRING TRAINING.
Yale Oarsmen Will Work Out on the
 Connecticut River.
25 WEST MAIN STREET

Springfield, Mass, July 1S.-De- , snite denials from New Haven, Charles T. Shean says he is perfectly willing to stand sponsor for the statement that the Yale oarsmen will
 do their next spring training on the national course of the Connecticut
 river. MT Shean, who is a close friend of Coach Kennedy of the fale crews, has already secured the sanc- tion of the Rockrimmon Boat club officials to the plan of giving the | clubs quarters over to the Yale navy | for training headquarters during the
 spring vacation. ..,s..
 It will be remembered that publi- ! cation of the statement that the fale
 crews are to do their spring training on the Connecticut brought vigorous denials from Yale rowing men, in ! New Haven. There was, however,
 confused idea of the statement from
 Springfield in that the denial stated 1 that the Yale crews had no intention
 of training on the Connecticut for | their race with Harvard.
 i MT Shean had simply pointed out that the Yale crews could no longer
 hold their spring regatta on Lake Whitney in New Haven, that body
 having been taken over as a water supply. He gave 1t as his personal
 opinion also that 1t would be mat | ter of but a few years before the I Yale-Harvard race would come back to the Connecticut, the course on 1! which the Crimson and Blue rowed their first four-mile race. MT Snean | is a staunch advocate of the advant- ages of the Springfield course and believes the national regatta which
 comes to Springfield August IA and
 Is is the means by which rowing au-
 thorities will come to realize that the
 course is superior to that on the Thames at New London
 | Indications are now that there
 will eb a record entry list for the na-
 tional regatta and that all the promi-
 nent rowing men of the country will
 be on hand. Entries close August 1,
 with Secretary Fred F. Fortmeyer,
 Box TAO. New York city, and already
 1t is known that some of the events are to have more entries than they had when the races were called last year. The committee has been assur-
 ed of entries from as far west as St
 Paul and St Louis and as far south as
 New Orleans. Efforts are now being
 made to secure entries from Canadian
 crews which will compete in the Lon- don Olympiad this month.
