SCULLIMG CHAMPION
BY CHANCE REMARK
Alfred FELTON, Turns "Pro" After
Hearing Criticism.
Australian Holder of Worlds Title
Entered Ranks of Cash Seekers
on Strength of Opinion
Made by Engishman.

The recent victory of Alfred Eel
ION, the Australian, over Ernest Barry,
the Englishman, for the professional
sculling championship of the world
was more the result Of an accident
than any deliberate aspiration of the
Antipodean to secure the much-coveted
title.
The event responsible for precipitat-
ing FELTON, into the professional ranks
occurred at the inter-allied regatta on
the Seine, at Paris, and held in con
nection with the American athletic
carnival. FELTON,, who was n MEM
Der of the Australian eXpeditonary
forces, figured among the entries for
the single SOULS, and, owing chiefly to
his powerful build and smooth, yet eff
fective style, attracted q lot of at
tention along the Seine.
Among the men who were mostly
impressed with the sculling proweSs
of the Australian was Clarence Bux-
ton of Cambridge university, the anna
teur sculer champion of England, hd
a shreWd student of the knights of
the ashen blade, professional and 9th
erwise. In a nonchalant sort of man
ner he remarked one day to a few who
were watching FELTON, that the Aus
tralian could beat Ernest Barry, the
professional, the best day he ever
saw. The remark was reported to
