The actual battle line is more than

BALTIMORE, June A.-when the
Middle States Regatta Association's an
nual championships are held of Ferry
Bar on Labor Day. the opening day
of the Star-Spangled Banner celebra-
ton. one of the largest sectional meets
ever held In America is likely to be the
record established. Men from all shores
OF the country will compete here. and
just to show how far-reaching the af-
fair is. there has been a query received
from a boat club of Portland, Ore.
Prominent among the competitors will
be the Potomac Boat Club and the An
alostan Boat Club crews OF Washing
ton.
More general interest is taken In the
Middle States AFFAIR than in the ma
tional event. as all OF the crews have
an equal chance TO gain fame. In the
American titular affairs only great rec
ord crews lace the starter. This fact
kills off the clubs which do not boast
OF star aggregations. For this reason
the Middle States is going to be a well
hlled regatta, with contestants from
all sections of the United States and
Canada. 1t is going to be a royal treat,
and one of the very fitting preliminary
athletic contests which are to mark the

ROBBY FOUND OUT
SOME NEW THINGS
Scorning Robertson's Dope,
Later He Learned That
Stars Did lust That Stuff.

Lawson Robertson, the famous
trainer of the Irish American A. c. of
New York. developer of many noted
athletes. especially sprinters, was re-
Gently candidate for the position of
trainer of the Brooklyn National
League club. He had a conference
with Manager Robinson. with some
OF the newspaper men present and
told the stout manager that he could
add stride to the speed OF every
Brooklyn player, and also add TO his
speed around the bases.
Manager Robsinson then proceeded
to quiz Robertson as to his knowl-
edge of base running, and asked the
trainer with which foot a runner
should touch first base in rounding
that bag. Robertson told him that he
should touch off with the left foot and
pivot on that. Robinson refused him
the place on the ground that this was
a mistake. and that all runners of
any account touched off with the
right foot. Even the newspaper men
agreed.
Now Ty Cobb and Eddie Collins, two
of the best base runners in the world
come to the aid of Robertson. and
announce that every good runner
touches off with his left foot and
hat is where they gain the extra
stride.
Now Manager Robinson is in a re-
ceptive mood.
