The case OF Sargood is one OF the

BIC CREW RACE
7 TOMORROW IS
HARD To FIGURE

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Y. June 2S.-
Rowing experts, who have been watch
ing the crews which will contest here
tomorrow in the intercollegiate regatta,
are almost universally of the opinion
that the laurels for the varsity race viii
be won by either Cornell or Columbia
university.
OF the other four crews in the race
Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Wisconsin and
Leland PENNSYLVANIA and
Syracuse are held to be the most dan
gerous rivals Of the favorites. The
men who will man the shells for these
two colleges are in prime condition and
are confident that they can cope with
the speedy stroke of the Columbia and
Cornell rowers.
The dark horse in tomorrow's race
will be the Leland Stanford eight This
crew Is the winner of all equatic events
on the Pacific coast this year and il
was in the expectation Of winning hon
ors in the greatest rowing event in the
East that they were sent from Cali
fornia by subscription Of $4,000. The
money was put up by the alumni of
Leland Stanford university
The Westerners have been somewhat
handicapped in their workout by the
climatic change to which they were
subjected, and also because of the fact
that they had to use a strange shell
The boat they wdll race in tomorrow is
one of the Columbias old shells, which,
because of its age and antique design,
is not conducive to the most speedy
work Despite this disadvantage, how
ever, the Westerners have made Won
derful showing and their supporters
are supremely confident now that
they will at least be placed in the race
tomorrow.
Chief interest Is centered in the Cor
nell eight, however Cornell has
achieved victory in all but one of the
81 races she has competed in the last
three years The event she lost was
the freshman race of last year.
Columbia's eight, while not having
such a magnificent record behind them
are conceded to be worthy rivals for
first honors. Columbia won the first
race held on the Poughkeepsie course
in 1896 She waited sixteen years for
her next taste of victory, however. This
came last year to her freshman crew.
Betting on the coming race, while
slightly favoring Cornell and Columbia
crews, has not been of such a decided
character that a walk-away is looked
for in fact, Coach Charles E. Court
ney, of the Cornell crew. this country S
highest authority on rowing, has
made the statement that never before
in his experience had he seen six crews
so capable as the six that have been
training here for the past few weeks.

WOLGAST Is AT 3 TO |
IN JOE RIVERS FIGHT

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 2S.-Two
terrible smiters are Ad Wolgast and
Joe Rivers These ferocious fighters
are going to turn their toughest bat
teriest on each other July 4, and it sug-
gests the old high school problem of
what will happen when body moving
with irresistible force encounters an
immovabe object
They say Wolgast has only lost one
fight-that to Young Nelson. AS a
matter of fact however, Abe Attel had
long shade over him three years ago
but that kind of thing never counts in
the log book of a champion while he's
champion.
Ad phas been fighting six years, is
"A years old and has had as battles,
half of which he won by the knockout
route. He is regarded as the ideal
lightweight both in physique and fero-
cious disposition while in the ring.
Rivers, though younger, has a great
record, equally sanguine. He not only
knocks his men out. but he half kills
them. He has knocked out eleven men,
fought four draws and won four de-
cisions. He lost to Johnny Kilbane on
what is regarded as q fluke
There you have them-two terrible
WALLPAPERS, hooked up in a door die
duel on independence day. Because he
is champion and because Rivers has
Shown that he can be knocked out by
a man of Kilbanes ability, Wolgast is
a to / faVorite.
