LINERS CRACK CREW LOSE
Mauretania's Rowers Beaten by
Crowd of Longshoremen.

There Is n boat crew aboard the Cunard
steamship Mauretania that until yester-
day believed It could outrow any other
boat crew that ever pulled oars. When
the German squadron was In this port
the Mauretanla crew wanted to row the
Teutons, but for some reason the Kaiser's
sailors declined TO row against the liners
men. II may have been that the navy
men did not wish TO compete with sailors
from a mere naval reserve steamship,
but the Mauretania crew said the Ger
mans were afraid.
Some Of the longshoremen on the
Cunard piers know a little bit about row
ing. and it was proposed that they man
one of the Mauretania's lifeboats and
give the regular sailors q run. Yesterday
afternoon two boats we're lowered from
the big liner. and with the longshoremen
in one and the Mauretania's crack crew
I'm the other, went across the river to the
Hoboken side. They were to race back,
distance said 10 be a trife more than
mile.
II was precisely $50 o'clock when the
two ufeboats. with their noses pointed
toward the Cunard pier, began TO move.
First Oflcer Story of the Mauretania sat
in the stern sheets Of the boat occupied
by the Mauretanias men, and Captain
Letson. who is a boss on the pier, was
coxswain for the longshoremen.
Each crew pulled at the rate OF thirty
five strokes a minute, but Ut the middle
of the river the boat rowed By the long
shoremen was In the lead, ami when Pier
IS was reached there were two boat
lengths of green water between the long
shoremen and their crestfallen chal-
lengers. There were many side bets up
and West street saw celebrations last
night
"Them as goes TO sea amt always the
best rowers," was a longshoreman's COM
