CORNELL CREWS
ALL MARVELLOUS,
SAYS c. s. TITUS
BY CONSTANCE S. TITUS,

WorIQ S oFSnoSt Amateur OaFSmans
DOUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. June 20
| had very good look today at
Cornell, Syracuse, Wisconsin and
the Pennsylvania crews, and l saw Co.
lumbia at far distance: also Stan
ford, and | must say all the crews have
improved more than Cornell. Very lit
tie improvement could have been made
in the Ithacan crews, excepting tine
freshmen. When they are rowing at
a very low stroke they do not seem to
be as smooth in action as the others.
Cornell varsity eight is as hearty per
feet as Courtney or anybody else could
get them. and his four cared shell trav-
els along very nicely. In fart, this
morning when | was out with him in
his launch he did not speak three words
to his crews. That shows on the face
of 1t that he is satisfied with their
work, and it certainly was a treat to
go out in his launch and watch his
crews at close range.
Cornell Rows Smoothly.
The Ithacans do not stop between
strokes. They row as smoothly as a
launch, travelling all the time. and the
beauty of 1t is Courtney's men do not
seem to be exerting themselves-the
row with such ease and perfection and
apply the power all at once.
The catch is perfect. Courtney told
them to suit themselves and paddle
down as far as they wanted and turn
around. They must have rowed down
the river four miles easily, and at
times they struck raw water and they
splash.
OF course, the men who do not un-
derstand rowing would imagine that
they were not working hard, but | was
on the float when they returned. and
every man was wringing wet with per-
spiration, yet they were all as fresh as
daisies, and as happy as iarks In fact,
everybody seems to be happy and con-
tented and in good humor around Cor
nells quarters. Keep an eye on the
three Cornell crews.
Columbia Crew Powerful.
1t is true, James Rice, coach of Co
lumbia, has a very powerful and game
crew and will take a good deal of beat
ing Their workmanship has improved
since the last time l saw them, but
they are not as smooth and clever as
the Cornell men. but they are certainly
great crew. OF course. James Rice's
men have a longer body swing than
Courtneys. which is very noticeable,
but Cornell's men seem to pull the
stroke through farther than Columbia
| does, and it is no question that both of
these crews can go the route. 1t will be
| a hammer and tongs race between
these two for the first position.
But we must not forget James Ten
Eyck, of Syracuse His crew is not
rushing the slide as much as they used
to, and they have improved greatly
since they arrived at Poughkeepsie.

SHILLING GOES ABROAD
TO RIDE FOR HILDRETH

LATONlO, KY, June 29.-Jockey
Carroll Shilling who has been drawing
a salary of $1,000 a month as stable
rider for H. c. Hallenbeck, the mill
Honaire Eastern turfman, is likely
never to be seen in the saddle on Amer
lean turf again. From an authorita
tive source 1t is understood that Sam
Hildreth, the real contract holder on
Shilling, has ordered the Texas Whirl-
wind" to proceed to France immedi-
ately, there to ride for the stable which
Hildreth is now training.
James Mccormick the man who won
so many purses for the racing firm that
does business under the title of c..
Woodford & Co. during the past win
ter and spring, but who for years was
Hildreth's stable foreman, is also going
abroad to join Hildreth.
While no positive statement has been
made, it is understood that r. F. Car
man, disgusted with conditions a. they
exist hereabouts, will also join the ex-
odus of Americans to France. The
withdrawal of Mr.. Carmans support is
one of the most severe blows the Amer
lean turf has so far received. He is one
of those sportsmen who refused to
fatten their purses at the expense of
the public and for that reason incurred
the animosty Of certain sure thing"
operators at Latonia.
Mr. Carman demanded an eXplana-
tion from Judge Price and when it
was not forthcoming decided to boycott
Latonia in future until q more popular
man was placed in charge of the Judge s

afternoon in the annual Southern ten
mis- championship. The drawing will be
held Monday morning in the town club

WELLS KNOCKED
OUT BY PALZER
IN F URIOUS co

NEW YORK, June 2s.-F1ghting
with the desperation of despair, with
his hackers hopes nearly dead, Al Pal
ger, of Iowa. knocked out Bombardier
Wells, champion English heavyweight,
In the third round of what was sched-
uled to be a round bout at Madi-
son Square Garden last night
The finish came with left-hand
hook to the pit of the stomach while
the men stood at close quarters. Wells
had been previously knocked down
twice in succession and the third knock
down finished him.
Jim Maloney, trainer and adviser of
Wells, seeing Wells stretched helpless
ly on his back, threw up the sponge
just as Referee Billy job had called
out ten" In the short space of three
rounds was crowded action Of the su-
preme kind.
Wells Started Strong.
The tide of fortune changed not
only with each round, but with each
second of fighting. Wells was easily
the master in the first round and had
Palzer so badly battered and damaged
that it seemed the English titleholder
would easily win. But his vital forces
were sapped by his strenuous work in
the first session, and Palzer, the cave
man." wore down his adversary and
beat him into a senseless mass of hu-
manity..
Wells began in fine style. His clever
ness as a boxer soon become apparent.
Every time that Palzer rushed at him
in the opening round Wells drove lefts
and rights to his face with stinging
force. The Englishman soon had Pal
zer's lips cut and bleeding.
After being knocked down in the first
Palzer just had sense enough to clinch
and last out the round
American Had the Grit.
Bets were freely offered that he
would not last through the second
round, but the Americans gameness
and desperate attack carried the day
for him
Animated by the desire to win by
knockout so that he could challenge
Jack Johnson, Palzer started in to fin
ish Wells in the third session. Palzer
realized that in order to win he had
to knock out Wells. for the English
man was outpointing him by mile
PaIzer changed his mode of attack
He had been unsuccessful in trying to
land on Bombardier's face So he closed
right in with wild wollops and finally
counted with series of near haymak-
ers
Both Men Were Tired
Both men were practically dead on their
feet before the coup de grace came along
1t was toss-up which would last the
longer and Palzers superior strength
gave him the victory.
Wells was clever while he lasted. His
horizon of attack was a broad arc extend
ing nearly around the ring. He circled
Palzer, shooting. over hard left hooks and
right crosses to the face, Never once
did he try for Palzer stomach Palzer
kept boring in all the time. even when he
was weak and dazed during the first
round.
Tom oeRourke. the erstwhile manager
of Palzer, showed how his feelings to-
ward Palzer had changed by repeatedly
calling to Wells during the battle to use
y 'Slt hook
: . estimated receipts of the house
were 1900
The crowd came early. but it was not
great not more than 5000 being present
before the bout was called.
