BOXING ACTIVITIES
THAT ENDED EARLY

BY SHORT LIVES OF e.PUeILIsTs.

With boxing coming into It's own,
as Tim McGrathl says and with a
marked scareftynf fighting talent
staring. the, promoters TN the face,
many are asking how tits that the
men Of the ring disappear SO quickly
from the scenes. Of their activities.
The sport.hungry fight fans, keep
asking. Where are the cracks Of yes.
teryear? Why can't they be located
and urged ito return to the game?
Surely the, glove-play with old masters
and past masters would be more en-.
tertaining than the amateurish efforts
OF the white hopes we, are being
plagued with at present.
Assuredly many good ring men
have gone out OF commission and the
fact that the majority of them turned
their hacks on the game before they
reached the age 80 is testimony that
pugilism is strenuous profession.
A glance of the records makes evil
dent that old Bob Fitzsimmons was
the wonder of fighters of all ages, not
only as a workman, but so far as en-
durance is concerned, The treckled
one fought his fight battle when 81
years old; he won the middleweight
championship from Jack Dempsey at
20; defeated Jim COrbett, for the
heavyweight title at IS and held 1t un.l
til he was past 81. He lost to Jeffrles.

COLLEGE OARSMEN
NEARLY SNAMPED
BY HUDSONSQUALL
Columbia Varsity Eight and
Four-Oared Crew Are
lmperiled by Storm.

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y, June H.
Columbia's varsity eight and four cared
| crews were nearly swamped in a terrific
| squaIl and thunderstorm that came up
from the Northwest just before o'clock
! yesterday afternoon, and 1t was only
due to Rice's careful guiding when the
storm was at its height that the New
York oarsmen did not suffer serious
harm. Columbia got the worst Of the
. storm, but both Pennsylvania and Wis
consin were on the water when 1t broke
and barely managed TO get back to their
floats in time.
The Columbia crew was coming down
over the course in a time row when the
rain started coming down in torrents
and the wind whipped the, Hudson in
fury. For a few minutes 1t looked as il
the oarsmen would be forced to give up
their shell and take to the river. Rice
ordered them to head for the Syracuse
quarters, only a few hundred yards
away, but the storm dropped just as
quickly as il had come up, and, although
the boat was we'll filled with water Rice
did not think that 1t would be worth
while stopping to dump out, so he con-
tinued uD the river to the Columbia
house.
1t was the second time in two days
that the Columbia men have been
caught in one Of the all too frequent
thunderstorms.
The Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
crews were down stream off the Cor
nell boathouse at the Cakes when
the rain began to fall, and both crews
rowed as If II were the last mile of a
real race to get back to quarters.
Ward had been giving the Quakers
hard row from Milton Landing and
L..
ing right on to their float after they
had finished their four-mile piece. AS
it was, the crews from both camps
got good ducking. but neither had
any Of the rough water to contend
with that almost proved Columbia's
undoing.
Ward had his men out later than
usual, while the Wisconsin, crew had
just finished a row over the full four
miles; The Badger freshmen crew
part OF the journey and both seemed
to go down in good form. although
the stroke was never raised above "a.
Both the Cornell and Syracuse
others, and both were safely in their
quarters before the storm came along.
Ten Eyck put his varsity eight
through a bruising four mile row.
beginning ct the one-mile mark of the
lower course and continuing up
haif mile the Salt City men were |
plugging along at a good SO. and at |
the finish they were hitting up to |
nearly 40. Ten Eyck did not work the |
four of the freshmen nearly as hard
as he did the varsity and let them I
pa ddle back to the boathouse.
Courtney. for the first time since he |
has been here. had no changes to an
nounce in the See cream" crew. The |
Ithacans were up stream both in the |
morning and afternoon and had fairly |
light work each time. In the after |
noon spin they followed the course |
for three miles, but did not attempt |
to hit it up.
