Lakewood, n. j.. May 29.-Steve
Crothers, the Chestnut Hill trapshoot-
ing wizard was high over all COM
petitors on the second day of the Lake
wood tournament. Crothers car
ried run of fifty five over from yes

he registered his only miss, leaving
ninety three to carry into the final 100
tomorrow.
Ben Donnelly. of Chicago. continued
his phenomenal shooting with only two
misses. He is still leading the field five
down on the 300.
Senator George Gray. Of Philadel-
phia, was right after the flying leaders
today with a loss of two in $50. He
had sixty straight and did not miss
again until early in the last event.
This makes prospects bright for a
thrilling three -cornered race over the
final 100 in the morning. This compe

championship and the Maplewood 100.

were followeing the race as eagerly as
the cars occupants.
Princeton closed in on Pennsylvania
about 100 yards above the Strawberry
bridge, with the Navy oarsmen leading
by half a length and Columbia still
trailing. When the shells passed under
the bridge the Navy crew was hitting
it up at a 37stroke pace and Princeton
81. Shortly after they passed under
the bridge Princeton got a slight lead
and Columbia speeded up its stroke and
passed the Red and Blue.
All Of the crews were apparently
rowing strong. but the Navy was pull
ing just n little ahead. One hundred
yards above the island the Navy was
leading Princeton almost a length.
Princeton Breaks
1t appeared then that the Navy might
row clear away from Princeton. but
the Tigers stuck doggedly on the job
until the last fifty yards, when they
broke badly and finished about two
lengths back of the Navy. More than
FIVE lengths behind the winner came
Pennsylvania and Columbia. both giving
all they had, and it was the Red and
Blue that got the close verdict.
The Navy's time was 7:O32-5:
Princeton. 7:093-5; Pennsylvania.
Z 81. The official time of Columbia
was not kept, but it was only frac-
tion of second behihd Joe wright's
crew.
The race was one mile and five six
teenths.
The Nays victory and Princeton's
second place gave these crews the right

the picture of today's test in his minds
eye and he eased up. He let Maxam
pass him. Driscoll, of Boston College,
came and passed him. Shea was salts
fed to qualify in third position.
Then came the big mistake. Instead
of keeping on Driscolls heels he slowed
up more. CHANGING over his right
shoulder. he saw no one near him and
apparently there was no reason to in L.
crease his speed and spend his energy.
But on his left side sped an ambitious
youth-Demming, from State College.

Demming breezcd by the Panther ten
yards from the tape. Shea gave a
startled leap. but he was caught fiat
footed. Too late he realized that LAYING
on his oars Is expensive. He put all his
effort into his attempt to catch his state
rival, but time and distance were too
short.
His spirit broke and his strength
gone by that one last effort, Shea had
little left for the 800 trials. He was
third in his heat and that qualified him

Frank Shea, one of the greatest

Leave Pennsylvania and
Columbia Omsmen Far
Behind
NAVY WINNER OF CUP
BY SPICK HALL

THE Childs cup race, which went
into the custody of the United
States Naval Academy crew for the first
time when they shot two lengths ahead
of Princeton at the finish just above the
Columbia avenue bridge over the Schuyl
Kill at an early period resolved itself
into two races.
Although the University of Pennsyl-
vania eight got fine start, it soon be-
came apparent that the speedier strokes
Of Princeton and the Navy would carry
them through in one, two order, and
that the Red and Blue was destined to
fight IL out with Jim Rice's Columbia
octet. This proved to be the case. At
the finish Princeton broke so badly,
after putting up a good race against the
navy, the interest centered in the Penn
Columbia tilt. 1t required the voice OF
the officials to inform the crowd which
crew won. so close was the finish.
Not only that, but as the finish is at an
angle to make up for the starting angle.
which is necessary because of the bend
in the river. nearly all of the spectators
were certain that Columbia had won.
But the officials ruled that the Red and
Blue had the better of the race by
about two feet.
Distant Champion
According to mutual friends the
Penn Columbia struggle was very i'm.
portant to Joe Wright, coach of Penn =
sylvania, and Jim Rice, Columbia. Both
are from Toronto and whenever one OF
their crews beats the other. the winner
gets big boost in social prestige. Sc
now it's Joe's turn and. in a manner OF
speaking, you might say that Penn Won
the championship Of Toronto. This is
what is known as winning titles by
long distance.
Boat House Row was alive with fol e
lowers of the four crews early in tbe
| afternoon. Every one who had a machine
| assembled at ) o'clock at the starting
line on both the East and West River
drives. When the crews incl up fer
the gun. there was q slight winI blowing
d,agonally across the Schuvlkill from
thc southwest. This caused slight
delay, because the Navy had trouble in
getting position. Finally when every
thing was all set. the NAVY occupied
the position near the east shore. with

vania and the Navy got of to good
starts. Princeton was slightly behind
and Columbia got very poor start
trailing length before the first hundred
yards had been rowed.
Autos Also Start
As soon as the crews shot ahead the
procession of automobiles started alun,
