On Havana Track
Special Correspondence to The Tribune

Special Correspondence to The Tribune
HAVANA, Cuba, March 26.-The
track at Oriental Park to-day was still
slow, and the racegoers had a difficult
task trying to pick the winners. Luci.
May, in the first race, was the only
favorite to win, her victory being
largely due to the strong finish OF
pickens. The daughter Of King James
stole long lead quickly, but she be-
gan to tire in the last fifty yards and
barely lasted to win by head.
Jockey Pickens rode two winners, in
Lucie May and Delaney.

Oxford and Cambridge
Fights Meet To-day After
a Lapse of Six Years

LONDON, March 26.-Oxford and
cambridge meet on the river and track
tomorrow t, for the first time since 1914.
Inc odds slightly favor the Oxford
oarsmen. but Cambridge is expected to
WIN tne track meet. The crews are re-
ported to be in excellent shape, both
the strokes having recovered com
pletely from recent illness.
White, formerly of Bowdoin, is the
only American competing in the meet.
lie is regarded as the probable winner
OF the high jump. Great crowds are
expected to watch The contests.
The classic collegiate rowing test
between the Oxford and Cambridge
university eights will be revived to-
DAY IN England, after lapse of six
year.. This annual event, which was
hrst decided in 1841, has beer. won
thlrty-mne times by the Oxford oars
men: The Cambridge crew has finished
IN front thirty-one times, and once,
on March ii, 1877, the result was a
dead heat. On one other occasion
neither crew scored victory. This
was on March 20, 1912. when both
ooats were swamped in the rough
water and the race was declared void.
The last time these rival college
crews met was in March, 1914, when
Cambridge proved the victor. Then
the World War interrupted all sport
ing events of any prominence in Great
Britain. The British sporting public
takes a very keen interest in this
event, many big wagers being lost and
won on the results.
This year American oarsmen and fol-
lowers of rowing on this side of the
come of the English varsity rowing
contest, inasmuch as there is a prob
ability that one or more American
crews may meet either or both CT the
English collegiate crews during the
English Henley regatta next Jtly or

werp later
The course over which the Oxford
Cambridge race is rowed is on the
Thames River. between Putney and
Nortlake, a distance of four and a
quarter miles. Thousands of persons
line the banks on both sides of the
river to watch the contest, and every
where one sees nothing but dark or
and other decorations in the rival
colors of the OXonans and Cantabs.

1iltlen Expected to Displace
Richards as Indoor Champion

pion's game, as see it, is the tendency
he has developed within the last twelve
months to make too frequent use of
the chop stroke. The chop has it's place
in tennis, and an important one, but
there is such thing as overriding it,
and Richards has been guilty Of that,
in my estimation.
If he can curb this tendency during
the approaching season, and not allow
it to hinder the development of the
rest of his strokes, there is every rea
son to believe that Richards will fulfill
some of the promise that his natural
genius gave indications of doing a year
or two ago.
While voshell and Richards are
seeking to battle their way to the final
bracket in the lower section of the
draw, Tilden should have an almost
untroubled path to the final in the
upper section. There is nobody on his
side who has more than the slimmest
of chances to stop the Philadelphian
which means that Tilden ought to be
mt and ready to put up notable per-
formance when it comes time to battle
for the championship.

Youngest Title Holder Not
Likely to Repeat; Big
Tourney Starts To-day
By Fred Hawthorne

Great interest will be attached to the
showing of Vincent Richards, the sew
cnteen-year- old national indoor cham
, pon. when he begins the defense of his
singles and doubles titles in the twen-
tv-tirst annual national indoor lawn
tennis championship tournament, start
ing this morning at 10 o'clock, on the
board floor courts of the 7th Regiment
Armory.
The young champion made truly
brilliant showing in the tournament
last year, coming from behind IN the
final round match to conquer William
players. With the latter Richards also
gained the doubles crown, the most
Youthful player in the history of the
game to hold such high senior honors.
But there is q serious doubt In my
mind as to whether Richards can dupli-
cate his performances this year. He
will not catch Tilden mapping, as was
plainly the case ON the last occasion,
and Howard Voshell, who is in the
same quarter with the playing-through
champion, offers another and most
formidable obstacle to Richards's sue
cess.
Voshell Anxious to Repeat
Having won the championship In
1917 and 1918, Voshell is more than
keen to score his third win. which
would give him permanent possession
of the trophy, already bearing the
names Of himself, Lindley Murray and
Richards. Voshell is confident that
Tilden is the only man in the tourney
he has real cause to fear, and, as Til
den is in the opposite half Of the draw,
he should come through to the final
round. if his reckoning is correct,
Richards, / think, is an example, OF
over-development. Norman Brookes has
made the Comment on the youthful
champion that he has too many strokes
and that he doubts whether Richards
will ever attain to the highest stand
ing on the courts.

Georges's Footwork Improves

Carpenter did his first boxing III this
country with Major A. j. Drexel Bid
die, "Battling Biddle," of the Phila-

who used to spar with Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien, was most favorably i'm
pressed by the Frenchman, especially
with his footwork. Whenever the maj or
swung one from the carpet Georges
was elsewhere.
Also Georges was polite. He re-

1t was the first Marquis Of Queens

full evening dress and not a collar
was crumpled.
The contest created such intense in
terest that the board of governors of
the International Sporting Club are
considering the advsability of having
all fighters appear in evening dress for
night fights and in frock coats for
afternoon bouts.

The offer was communicated to M.
Deschamps, the hypnotic manager Of
Carpenter. M. Deschamps was not
impressed by it. Perhaps he was aston
ished by the liberality Of the offer He
cast his hypnotic glims upon the chal-
lenger, but made no reply, excepting to
reiterate the statement that Carpc ntier
had come to the United States to box
Jack Dempsey and that no others need
apply.
However, this will not deter the fill
ing of further applications by the
American heavies. William Roche is
waiting for Carpenter to get his bear
ings before challenging him on behalf
of Gene Tunney, the ex-marine, who
made such a good showing with the
bayonet and the gloves when he was
with the A. E. F.
"lf anybody gets the chance it should
be a soldier" declared William last
night: Carpenter, having been q SOL
dier himself, ought to prefer to box
with soldiers. There ought to be law
to keep these civilians from annoying
nice young champion like him. He
wouldn't want to box with lot of
