KELLY TO REPRESENT
VESPERS IN NATIONAL
All-around Athlete Is in Hard
Training for Singles Event
in August.

]. B. Kelly. all-around oarsman of the
Vesper Boat Club, has been chosen to
represent that organization In the senior
single shell event in the national races
which will be held in August. He will
very likely be pitted against Rooney
again. In his last race, 1t will be remem-
bered, Rooney won the single-shell event
from Kelly when the latter was disqunll-
fed for an alleged foul. The Vesper vet
eral feels confident that he will easily win
this race, as he is in good condition and
is training daily for the race.
William Muller, coach of the Vesper
Club. is undecided as to what his other
entries in the nationals will be. He is
seriously thinking of entering a senior
doubles crew in this regatta and has not
yet chosen the men for the seats in this
shell.
The junior eight crew has been out on
the river daily since the Peoples Regatta,
and is fighting hard for the privilege of
being one of the crews fortunate enough
to be sent up to participate in the New
England water fete.
Seat holders in the junior centipede are
making a strong bid for the opportunity
OF being sent to the Nationals.

a glance at Rayburn, crouchng off third

thought OF what might happen If there

blind jump behind the plate. Steve had
no great supply of imagination, but for
an instant he had the feeling that his belt
buckle had been turned to ice.
Bruno. standing in the box, knew that
this was his only hope. There was one
more effort in his tortured old ten-thou-
sand-dollar arm, and all he asked was
the chance to make that effort and speed
enough to sneak that ball over the plate
somehow.
