ARIELS CAPTURE FEATURE

Six gritty oarsmen from Baltimore,
carrying the colors OF the Ariel Rowing
Club and led by a diminutive red haired
1rlshman. carried off the honors at the
ninth annual regatta OF the Hudson River
Rowing Association, held yesterday after
noon over the Riverside Drive course
from 10Th street 10 l27th street-a mile
straightaway.
Four OF them. backed by Coxswain Nc
Lough.in. rowed in a barge for the first
time and easily captured the junior four
cared barge event from the Rosedales and
the Bayonnes.
A slight change in personnel of their
crew took place before they entered
borrowed barge for the feature event OF
the day--the senior four Dared event.
During the last half mile there wasn't
open water between four Of the FIVE crews
entered.
The Baltimore four splashed through
the field m the last hundred yards and
won, five feet in front Of the Wahnetahs
, OF Flushing. The Hudsons were third.
ten feet behind the Wahnetah barge
There was considerable wranging be-
tween members OF some OF the crews and
the officials, the former being dissatisfied
with several rulings on which they made
strong protests. The Harlem River crews
were shut out OF both the Junior double
gis race and the Intermediate four Dared
barge event because they were late TO the
starting mark.
In the barge event the only other crew
was the Hudson four. Jim Patten. bow
man OF the Metropolitan Boat Club. had
trouble with his seat on his way TO the
start and stopped the barge at the Column
bia boathouse to adjust the difficulty.
Referee Cleary sent the Hudson over the
course unaccompanied
When the referees launch reached the
! fioat President Bergen Of the Nets tried to
jump into it. but was restrained by a
| group about him.
Jack Branif. captain of the Clifton
Boat Club. also had a grivance. Less
than six strokes had been rowed in the
| association single souls when r. Pearse
| OF the Nonparels and Alex Rachmeil of
the Cliftons locked oars. The referee sig
nailed for a stop and then told the oars
| men 10 go ahead. Rachmeil. fifty yards
| from the finish, overlook kohler OF the
| slassaus. and the Staten Islander crossed
| the line in front. But the race went to
| Kohler AS Rachmeil had been disqualified.
Branff says that the rules were ignored
in the race and that he will take the case
to the national association
Eight crews desired 10 enter the senior
| four cared barge event but II was found
| impossible TO accommodate them all with
| barges. Thus the Maltss and the Fair
mounts both OF Philadelphia, and the
| Potomacs of Washington were shut out
| II the Potomacs had rowed, New Workers
would have had an opportunity 10 see Jim
| Rices summer crew for the first TIME
since he took charge after the victory Of
his Columbia team at Poughkeepsie last
month.
As IL was. five crews furnished q race.

| off the Gould boathouse. All the crews
were hghting hard to gain the lead, but
! IL was not until the last hundred yards
that a change took place. Every crew
| was staggering, but the most gameness
lay in the boat of the Baltimore lads. and
they won by a few feet, in minutes
IS 3-5 seconds, fast time for barge. In
fact IL was almost a minute faster than
the association single sculls.
Frank De witt of the Hudson Boat
! Club was the individual star OF the re-
eatta He won the intermediate doubles
for gigs with II Norman. captured the
intermediate singles by fifteen lengths
and rowed in the victorious Hudson inter-
mediate four cared crew. The summaries
