VISITING OARSMEN
PICKED AS VICTORS
New Rochelle and Arundel Crews Favortes in Big Races
to Be Rowed This Afternoon-Locals Are Con-
tenders, Though.
BY VINCENT DALEY.

prospects might be different, but as II
IS, It looks as though the Undines will
have the race, If they can beat out
the Ariels, and this they are expected
to accomplish.
There is very little chance for any
crew to beat the Arundels in the race
for senior four-oared gigs, in which
event the Potomacs will probably
scratch their entry. Undine Barge and
Quaker City Barge of Philadelphia are
both good but the Arundels have ac-
ouired more form and should Iead the
other two boats by a fair margin.
Metropolitan, OF New York. will win
the senior 140-pound sculls on weight.
The New Workers are bigger men than
are the Maltas and row we'll together.
It Is simply case where weight will do
the trick.
New Rochelle is picked for the junior
quadrupie sculls. To win the Van Vliet
boys will have to trim but one crew-the
Maltas. Both of these combinations
were seen on the river yesterday, and
while both rowed WELL the New Rochelle
boat had better run to It.. and 1t is
this advantage that causes them to be
first choice in the race.
The New York Athletic Club should
win the senior doubles. The Nonpareils
look fast, but will suffer by weight in
comparison with the wearers of the
Mercury Foot. while the veteran pair
representing the Crescents are counted
out of 1t because of age. 1t Is picked as
a young mans event, and the New
in It.
Smith, Of the New York Athletic Club,
will probably fight 1t out with Rooney,
Of the RavensWood Boat Club. for hon.
ors in the senior singles, and odds favor
Smith. both on account of superior
weight and the advantage of being abso-
lutely fresh, Rooney having rowed the
association singles this morning.

the junior four-oared gigs in which the
Potomacs and Fairmonts are also enter
ed. The boys from Baltimore look ex-
cellent in practice, and outpoint both of
the other crews, both in outboard and
inboard workmanship.
The Vespers have a good intermediate
double, and are picked to win this
event. However. it will be a close tus-
sle between the Vespers, New Rochelles,
and Staten Island crews. and there will
be but a slight margin between the
three at the finish.
