While we are dealing in futures, here
is what Fred Fortmeyer, secretary OF
the National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen, thinks of 1910 as a rowing
year:
The wisdom of the executive COM
mittee of the National association OF
Amateur Oarsmen in holding hte an
nual championship events at Detroit,
Mich, last August, was clearly dem
oEstrated by the high class of entries
coming from all sections of the United
States and Canada, and which argues
we'll for a most interesting series of
regattas for the ensuing year.
The far and middle West, which
ward in entering the national races,
clearly demonstrated that they are so
be considered a factor in future con
tests. Those thorough sportsmen, the
Canadians, ever ready to compete
against al Corners, have proved that
they, too, will be a factor.
The above events are simply cited as
the groundwork and outlook for this
years aquatics, and information al
ready received from all over the coun-
try clearly demonstrates that this year
will be a banner one in the rowing
world Crews are already at work in
the gymnasiums preparing for the To-
cal regattas which lead up to the ma
tional, the premier event, and which all
oarsmen strive to compete in. Where
the national will be held next season
has as yet not been decided, but rowing
men throughout the country can rest
assured that whatever selection is
made will be to their interest ard for
the good of the sport.

Doom, the hustling backstop of the

WoIgast Is Shocked.

Il am simply wild to get busy once
more" was the way the Battler eX-
pressed himself in his hurry-up mes
sages to Hester Il will actually con-
my title In a quieter vein the COM
mercial aspect manifested itself in a
stipulation that the big end of the
purse should so to the present cham
pion no matter what happened. Not
unnaturally. Wolgast was shocked to
learn that he would receive a guar
antee of approximately $1,000, while
Nelson walked off with $4,000,
What" howled Walgast. DO you
expect me to stand for any such di-
vision 1t is absurd, I cut some ice in
this battle myself"
Did the Battler stampede? Not a
bit of it. Hurry up the matter or /
shall be compelled to pay more atten-
ton to Welsh" was about all that
came from him, and it did not take
WOlgaSt long to conclude that ne
might as well pay the price Nelson
exacted for a fling at the crown.
Wolgast has the opportunity of his
career. He may not be a particularly
clever boxer, in fact, fighters of his
type seldom are. He comes closer
than anyone else to being a reproduc-
ton of Terry McGovern, who was one
of the most wonderful fighting ma
chimes the ring has ever seen. He
knows enough about the fine points of

Jeff's Awful Bluff.

Perhaps some of you recall how
James j. Jeffries came Waddling down
the gang plank from the big ocean
liner, after his spectacular journey to
Carlsbad, and with a shake of his
mighty fist and a fierce glitter in his
eager eve Numbered out the declara-
ton that he was looking for blood
Just let him get at Jack Johnson; all
he wanted was thirty days or less and
he would show the public that the
championship should be be returned to
it's proper home. Naturally Jack
thought Jeff was pushing things a
trife fast but he was willing to follow
any old pace What the pace has really
been is a gabfest, and nothing more,
hut all the time the bank accounts of
the pugs have been swelling fast
enough to eat a good chunk out of the
national debt. Nothing like handing it
to the dear public.
How long this thing might have gone
Or no one can tell; but Battling Mel
sen. still sleeping contentedly as the
champion and modern
Croesus of the ring, happened to pass
a beauty parlor. He saw something
or the window; it caught his eye, al
though his ear had ben long closed by
a peculiar affliction known among the
rugs as caulifower decorations. The
Rattler, alive to all things CONNER
ciaI as we'll as esthetic, stopped and
read. Why not have those caullf1oWer
ears remodeled. The idea was a good
enc. 1t sank in deep. Action came with
and behold new Battler,
strong as ever but much more ideal
to those who love the science of
beauty.

My Paris correspondent tells me tnat
the majority of the prize fighters and
prize fight promoters who returned to

campaign during the present year. Joe

Nelson's Clever Manipulation.

The unprofessional conduct of Sid
Hester, the San Francisco rival OF
McCarey, in cutting in on matters af-
fecting the lightweight scrap has been
touched upon before in these columns,
but in view of what has taken place
since then, one cannot help giving Nell
son credit for clever manipulation all
the way through.
Nelson perceived that, outside of
Jeffries and Johnson, Wolgast was the
center of attraction in ring talk, owing
to the fact that he clearly outpointed
the Battler himself in a ten-round
bout under the auspices of a Los An
geles club some time ago; knocked out
Henry Pet, alleged to be champion OF
France, in two rounds, whereas 1t
took Freddie Welsh twelve rounds to
get decision over him; won
clean cut decision over Lew Powell,
prospective lightweight champion, in
a hard 20-round battle; took Frank Pr
cato, the scrappy Los Angeles aspirant
down the line, and, to make the string
complete, showed to advantage over
George Memsic only a few days ago.
What Wolgast has done in the ring
during the past year has entitled him
to the position he now occupies IN Siie
eyes of the sporting public, and Mel
son was quick to take advantage OF
the conditions, but in doing so he
showed the same business ability that
has characterized all his transactions
