SGULLRRS MEET IN AFRICA
Barry to Row Arnst for the World
Title.
Great Crowd Expected for Singles
Race of the Year on the
Zambesi River.

Some years ago a scuIling contest for
the championship OF the world attracted
attention in most of the countries on both
sides Of the Atlantic. More recently scuI-
ing contests have fallen into disfavor. and
1t is almost wholly the result Of crooked
ness and dishonesty In professional water
racing.
There IS stil one region OF the globe
where they welcome a sculling race with
the enthusiasm which brought forth
thousands Of spectators in the United
States and England in days that are gone.
That is Australia. 1t is form of athletic
amusement that is very popular. and
more than that. it is not a sport which
has been so thoroughly corrupted by pro-
fessionals as some other games of the
outdoor world.
When Arnst won the championship an
immense crowd watched the race rowed
on Australian waters. and when Arnst
rows again on the Zambesi with young
Barry, the Englishman who has chaI-
lenged for the championship. it is ex-
pected that another great crowd VIII be
present at the duel.
Barry is the best sculIer that England
has produced in long time, and those
who follow closely the work of oarsmen
in the United Kingdom are confident that
this tall. heavy-shouldered athlete, with
muscular development which should be
Of assistance TO any man competing with
the SOULS. has a chance better than that
OF the ordinary.
The best coaches have been working
with Barry near London. and in addition
TO their assistance, he has been helped
by some Of the well-known amateur oars
men OF the English capital.
The man who aspires to bring the title
OF worlds champion back to England

able counsel which could be brought to-
getker for the purpose. More than that.

Spalding's Baseball Record, which has
just been issued for 1910. is the only pub
iication in baseball which pretends to give
anything ike a complete record of the or
ganization of baseball. In its pages can
be found the earliest officials and clubs
: of the National League and the history
Of the American League from Its incep-
tlon.
This record not only mentions the clubs.
but 1t mentions the names Of those who
were responsible for the clubs. As a
