GOLF CLUB HEARING
WITHOUT RESULT
Both Sides Set Forth Views on
Debarring of Ouimet.

The special executive meeting called
by the United States Golf Association
last night at the Racquet and Tennis
Club for the purpose of giving the
Woodland Golf Club, of Massachusetts,,
q hearing In the case of Francis Quiz
met, the debarred amateur, resulted
in--nothing, at least as far as any pub
lie announcement is concerned.
f. z. Cakes, jr., C. f. Lancaster, R.
s. Wasson and L. II. Folsom, directors
Of the Woodland club. and Irving J..
French, secretary OF the Massachusetts,
association, came down from Boston
to attend the hearing. Howard F.
whitney, secretary Of the United
States Golf Association. F. S. Wheeler
and ". Lewis Crosby, Of the executive
committee, represented the national
association.
All that could be learned last night
about the meeting was that both sides
had discussed the situation and had
set forth their views. The Massachu-
sets state body and the Woodland Golf
Club have not been satisfied with the
action of the parent body in declaring
Ouimet a professional, and there has
been a great feeling Of dissatisfaction
in the matter. although IL Is expected
that the ruling Of the United States
Golf Association will not be affected
by any protest that might be made.

WELL KNOWN BOXERS
NEAR TO DROWNING

Andre Anderson, the heavyweight
boxer, and Joe yelling, a lightweight
who recently arrived here from Chi
oago, had thrilling and almost fatal
canoe trip on New York Bay and t6e
broad Atlantic yesterday afternoon and
evening.
Anderson and yelling, who are
training for boxing bouts at New Dorp,
Staten Island, started out for ride
in a canoe shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Neither knew much
about the management Of the frail
craft, but both we're willing to learn.
They did.
When they were well out on the
waters Of the Lower Bay the tide
which waits for no man, suddenly
seized their canoe and departed sea-
ward with it, The water ruflied up
into a near-maelstrom and the canoe
capsized.
Anderson and yelling were eyentu-
ally rescued by the Red Bank Life
saving Corps, one Of the members of
which espied them out at sea, elinging
to their overturned canoe.
They have decided TO stick 70 terra
frma in the future.

NAVY FAvORlTE
IN RACE OVER
HENLEY COURSE
Columbia Crew, in Great
Form, Should Put Up
Hard Battle.

Philadelphia, May 12--The American
Henley, which mas taken its place
among the great rowing regattas Of this
country, will be held ever the Schuyl-
kill River Course In Philadelphia to-
morrow. Allowing precedence TO only
the intercollegiate regattas at Pough-
keepsie and New London and the cham
pionships of the National Association
Of Amateur Oarsmen, the Henley has
borrowed much Of the glamour OF both.
No fewer than sixteen college crews,
Fights and tours, will compete, and
some of the foremost scullers and
sweepmen from the various boat clubs
OF this section Of the country also will
face the starters gun.
Chief interest In the regatta centres
about tho competition for the Childs
Cup, a trophy first offered away back
in 1879, but which has been raced for
only eleven times heretofore. The first
crews Of Columbia, the Navy, Pennsyl-
vania and Princeton will meet in this
event, and a close race may be expected.
Penn, which defeated Yale, and Prince
ton, which won by few inches from
Harvard, are said TO be in better form
than at any time this season, while
the Navy, which romped away from the
smooth rowing Penn crew, expects TO
repeat.
Columbia will back down to the buoy
an unknown quantity. The Blue and
White has not rowed in any races this
year, but II the form displayed In prac-
tice spins be any criterion, Rice's crew
is to be feared and respected. 1t is
a smooth working combination and APP
parently with world of power In the
shell. In the few racing starts II at
tempted the stroke was kept well above
the forty mark and the work was re-
markedly clean. There was little
splashing, and the impression among
veteran wstermen Is that the crew that
wins will have to beat Columbia.
Columbia has won the Childs' Cup
three times and has been second twice.
Pennsylvania has had the names of its
oarsmen carved on it four times, while
Princeton and Cornell have won II
twice each.
There will be four distinct styles Of
stroke when the crews start in this
feature race. Columbia, with its hard
catch at the start, its smashing heave
as the oars are hauled through, a
vicious leg drive and quick snap OF
Rice's idea Of the right way to propel
an eight-oared she'll through the water
Then there is Pennsylvania, with what
Joe Wright calls "a natural stroke
Princeton rows q stroke which Is
dissimilar to both the aforementioned
styles. The Tigers row a very long
reach, falling far off the perpendicular
both on the catch and at the finish
There Is terrific body heave, and 6
strong leg drive, but the rowing has not
always been clear.
Eight crews have been entered fol
the junior varsity race, and two heat:
will be required. In the first heat Penn
| Syracuse and the third crews Of Har
ward and Yale will meet. In the seconC
/ heat the second crews OF Yale and Har
ward will oppose the second combina
| tons Of Princeton and the navy. Thu
first and second crews in each heat vii
qualify for the final.
