WORCESTER, MhSS., aug. l.-ANeW hoih
failed to get a champion in the first day
OF the national regatta on Lake Quin-
sigamond to-day. but gave plenty Of keen
competition. Duluth led the way with
three victories, two of which were
tainted; Washington had three also, two
of which were in canoe events; Philadel-
phia two, and Worcester one.
Fully 10000 persons. one Of tho big
gest crowds that ever attended a rowing
national regatta in this country, damned
the picturesque lake course to-day. or
that number more than 5000 were on
the new s35o,O00 bridge over the lake.
which was dedicated last night.
Duluth won the intermediate eight
Dared shell race and cleaned UP a flock
of money by betting against the Union
Boat Club Of New York. The New York
ers felt great before they went to the
starting line, but found the opposition
too stiff and finished last In field OF
four. The Riverside Boat Club OF Cam
bridge, Mass, and Boston Interscholastic
both nosed them out.
New yorker Finishes Third.
John Schultz of the Hudson Boat Club
of New York picked up third place In
the senior quarter mile race, which was
won by Jack Kelly, the Vesper's giant
sculler The philadelphia boy won by
a length in minute Is 20 seconds
with Walter Hoover Of the Duluths sec
ond.
Archie r. Mosher of the Crescent
Canoe Club OF waltham. Mass. fell over
hoard Just as he was going over the I'm
ish line and was rescued by the police
boat Mosher and Schultz were having
a fight for third place when the former
toppled into the lake.
One Of the biggest surprises OF che
afternoon was the clean cut victory OF
Paul Costello. OF the Vespers Of Phila-
delphia In the association singles. BY
his victory Costello goes into the cham
pioDship race tomorrow with Jack Kelly,
bis clubmate. Tom Rooney of the Raw
enswood Boat Club of Flushing. L. l.,
the present national champion. will not
defend his title. Naturally Kelly liz
picked to win over Costello tomorrow,
but the latter will give him plucRy
race.
Costello beat Hoover of the Duluths
by "a full length II Z minutes 90 sec
onds. with Henry Heller of the Metro
politans OF New York third. Heller was
right up in the race for a mile. but
quarter. 1t was then that Costello and
Hoover started their maddening squirt,
and the Philadelphia boy killed on his
Minnesota rival.
Duncan Champion sculIer.
Washington furnished the champion
intermediate sculler in Robert Duncan.
He was not picked to place, but came
through with a magnificent race and peat
G. Hokanson Of Duluth by more than a
length. Jerry Shea of the st. Alpha
nus Association of Boston was third.
pfvid S. Maimin of the Lone Star Boat
Club of New York started, but failed to
get up with the first four. The cnoppy
water seemed to bother him.
Duluth's two tainted decisions were
both in four cared shell races. In the
intermediate tours Ten Eycks crew had
no opposition and merely rowed over the
course. The other was in the senior in
ternational tours, when the Century Boat
Club of st. Louis fouled~ Duluth after
half OF the distance was covered and
Duluth rowed over the course and was
declared the winner.
Washington showed the best skill In
the canoe events by carrying Off both
races, fours in single blades and fours
double blades.
