Two Minds With But Two Thoughts
In which Young Joe Jacobs and Old Bill Gardner
DiSagree)
Dave Astey, who is to meet Jimmy
Wilde in London next September for
the fywcight championship of the
world, is still the "undefeated amateur
bantamweight champion of America"
in spite of what apparently happened
to Dave on Friday night at Providence.
Why don't managers of fighters and
referees ever agree on the result of
a bout? Of course, you all have no
tlced that when referee declares one
fighter the winner over another THAT
fighters manager thinks the referee is
q WONDERFUL man, a rare Judge of
human nature and a lover of the arts.
This is stcange and almost unbeliev-
able, but it is true.
But we are referring particularly to
the manager of the DEFEATED boxer
Through some unexplainable freak of
human nature that individual NEVER
agrees with the referees decision. We
realize that this is a startling state
ment, but the facts bear us out.

Hardness Handicap Main
Motor Carnival Feature
Resta and Duray First to
Enter Races for Sleeps
head Bay Track

The Hardness Handicap, at 100 miles,
will be the outstanding feature of the
automobile racing carnival to be held
at the Sheepshead Bay Speedway on
Memorial Day, May so. Several of the
worlds greatest drivers will compete
in this race, as we'll as in the other
events on the programme, the balance
of which will be decided upon by Will
lam H. Wellman in the course of the
next fortnight.
Harry S. darkness. the millionaire
sportsman and owner of the Speedway,
for whom the handicap is named, will
be the donor of costly trophy for the
winner, while Wellman will hang up a
record purse for the competition.
The demand for handicap racing ere
ated by the competition furnished in a
handicap contest at the Bay last Sep
TENDER, prompted Wellman in his de-
cision to arrange an event of this style.
Handicap racing is the most popular
eliminates the certainty as to the
probable winner. In scratch automo-
bile affair the verdict will generally go
to one of the several leading pilots.
whereas in a handicap the decision is
in doubt until the last few yards Of the
race. Judicious handicapping will give
the mediocre driver as much chance
for ultimate victory as any of the WIZ
ards of the wheel.
Resta and Duray Enter
Already two Of the leading pilots
have announced plans for an active
season, and their first effort of the
year will likely be in the Hardness
! Handicap. They are Dario Resta
( speed king of 1915 and 1916, and Ar
I thur Duray, the European champion.
/ The latter holds the worlds record for
the fastest straightaway mile, which
; he negotiated at better than lat miles
an hour at Ostend, Belgium. Resta
has won more automobile classics and
more big purses than any. other man in
| the racing game.
Welman is at present negotiating
with all the crack drivers. The races
will bear an international tinge, as
Duray is the premier driver on the
Continent.
In addition to the automobile events
at the Bay on May 80 there will be a
/ both men and women. An earth Land
air race may be arranged.
/ The Memorial Day meet will be the
/ first in which the members of the
! Sheepshead Speedway Motor Club, Inc
( will participate. A members race is

Columbia Crew
To Compete in
No Long Race

Since none Of the Columbia varsity
crew races this spring will be longer
than two miles, the junior boat will
not serve as the short distance crew
as in years when Columbia has COM
petcd in the Poughkeepsie regatta. On
May 4, the varsity will row against
Princeton and Pennsylvania, in the
Childs Cup race, on Lake Carnegie.
This course is approximately a mile
and seven-eighths. The other big event
for the Blue and White oarsmen will
be the Annapolis race. on the Severn, a
two-mile course.
Coach Rice put his Junior crew in
the shell for the first time this week.
The varsity, with three veteran oars
men, took to their boat ten days ago.
The second crew. however, is composed
largely of inexperienced men, and
Coach Rice has been using them to
supply possible substitutes for the var
sity. One or two races will be arranged
with local rowing clubs, and the show
ing which the junior crew makes in
these will decide whether they will
be entered in the two big regattas.
Only One Change Made
The only change that Jim Rice has
made in his varsity recently is to
switch Hawkins from stroke of the
second boat to number two in the first
and the consequent change of Shactel
to stroke IN the junior she'll.
Kindleberger. the big left guard of
last falls football team, and a member
of the water polo and wrestling teams,
appeared as candidate for The crew
last week. According to Coach Rice.
he will make good varsity material
later. Now he is sure of position in
the junior shell at least.
Except for the possible change of
one or two positions, the varsity she'll
has been arranged as it will row against
Princeton and Penn in two weeks.
Brown is stroke; Wormser, 7; Calico.
