Oarsrrler1 Meet
LIN Big Harlem
Regatta To-day
$4,000 Expected to See
Memorial Day Scullers
in Action ON River Here
BY Jack Lawrence

The most important rowing meet held
decade will be staged on the Harlem
river to-day when the New York Row
ling Association engages in it's annual
Memorial Day regatta.
\ The big rowing carnival Is expected
to be witnessed by $4,000 persons, the
Speedway, paralleling the entire course,
making 4 natural reviewing stand that
will be free to the public.
The contending scullers, represent
ing the best oarsmen in the East, viii
get busy promptly at $3.50 u. m, when
! Junior singles will be sent away. From
that hour until late in the afternoon
the maritime pageant will be in con-
tinuous operation, except for two
hours in the middle Of the day.
Junior Race a Feature
According to the schedule arranged
last night by the referee, it is ex-
pected that the junior singles will be
out ouf the way by 10 a. m. and that
the first heat of the junior eight-oared
contest can be started at that hour.
This race promises TO be one of the
features and should provide some real
thrills. The first heat will bring into
competition for the first time Jim
Rice's Columbia freshman crew. The
freshmen will meet eight-oared combi-
nations representing the Potomac Boat
Club and the New Rochelle Rowing
Club.
The second heat of the eight-oared
event will bring together the New York
Athletic Club, the Union Boat Club and
the Columbia junior varsity. The lat
ter crew should be in the fight to the
last stroke.
The New York A. G. crew has been
put through long and arduous train
ing season by Jim Wray, former head
coach at Harvard, and is said to be
in splendid shape. They are husky
oarsmen and are regarded as decided
favorites for the final honors.
Jack Kelly and Paul Costello, who
won the Olympic doubles at Antwerp
and who captured the SchuylkiH Chal-
lenge Cup with hardly an effort Sat-
urday at Philadelphia, will represent
! the Vesper Boat Club Of that city in
the double scuIls this afternoon. They
are looked upon as almost certain win
ners, but they should be given an in
! teresting race by the Shea brothers, of
the Nonpareil Rowing Club. Two or
three post entries may be made in this
event.
Kelly Out of the Singles
It had been expected that Kelly, who
also was victorious in the Olympic sin
giles, would enter the senior struggle
this afternoon against Harry Heller, of
the Lone Star Boat Club, singles cham
pion Of the New York Rowing Associa-
tion, and Louis Zoha, of the First Bo-
hemian Boat Club. Kelly wired the
local officials that he would not start;
and it seems certain that Heller and
zoha will repeat the thrilling duel they
had one year ago over the Harlem
course.
The only entry received for the SEN
ior eight-oared event came from the
Union Boat Club, but it was believed
last night that at least two other
crews would be brought in.
An interesting feature of the pro-
gram will be the race between school
boy eights. This contest will bring to-
gether the New Rochelle High School
and the Central School of Washington,
D. C., winners of similar event in the
Henley regatta at Philadelphia Satur-
] day.

De Palma Is
Man Of Hour
In Auto Classic
FrencInrnan Favored go Win,
but He viii Be Harassed
and Harried by Rivals
By I. c. Burton

INDIANAPOLIS, Nay 29.-1f Thomas
A. Edison wants to add another baf-
fling question TO his already infamous
list he could do no better than TO ask
this:
"who is going to win to~rnorrow's
5oo-uile race on the indianapolis Speed
way"
For nobody around here knows the
answer, although there are more than
100000 now waiting for the running Of
the 100000 speed classic, ready 70
voice almost as many opinions based
on every known variety Of dope.
Of all the hundreds Of conjectures
rampant on the eve of the race, only
this one thing is certain:
Ralph De Palma, the ruling Eavorite,
is a marked man,
AS far as car speed IS concerned, De
Palma is sitting pretty, for his French
Ballot has shown Itself to be at least
second to the lap faster than any of it's
twenty-five rivals, but there De Palna's
margin Of safety ends.
From the time the starting bomb ex-
plodes until the eheckered flag flecks
the winners hood De Palma will be
harassed and harried as no other
driver in the indianapolis race has ever
been harassed and harried before.
Every driver in the field is convinced
that he must beat De Palma to CONS
home in front, and every driver has
laid his plans accordingly.
Consequently, the race will not be
driven at safe speed, but De Palma
beating speed, and that means speed
so fast that both the Ballot and the
faster cars that will be pushing De
Palma to the limit may prove unequal
to the strain and drop out disabled be-
fore the five hundred miles are com
pleted.
This may result in the elimination Of
those cars that are thought TO have the
best chance of racing De Palma on al
most even terms--the Frontenacs, Of
Tommy Milton and Ralph Milford, and
the Duesenbergs, Of Joe Boyer and
Jimmy Murphy-and leave the winning
of the classic to slower cars piIoted by
more conservative and lighter-footed
drivers.
In fact, many, of the dopesters look
to see Howdy Wilcox, in the Peugot;
Roscoe Sarles, in the Duesenberg, and
Eddie Hearne, in the Revere special,
the most dangerous contenders at $50
or 400 miles.

1t is courageous thing that the
women's advisory committee of the
United States Lawn Tennis Association
has done in making drastic rerank-
ing of the leading women players of
the country. Mrs. George w Wight
man, former national champion and
chairman of the committee, made the
new ranking list public yesterday, and
among the ffy-four players listed
there are many changes from the
original list.
Coming so long after the first official
list was made public, there is certain
to be more or less controversy over
the changes now announced, yet the
eammittee has taken the only correct
attitude and one which l am sure the
majority of tennis players will indorse
when all the circumstances are made
known.
When the ranking list was originally
made public last winter there was a
storm of protest from all quarters over
what was felt to be most unfortunate
placing of the leading players. Some
of the selections were so glaringly
bad that it did not seem possible the
committee had taken time to go over
the seasons records. An investigation
proved that the work had been done
hurriedly after the first six places had
been assigned, the other places being
selected in purely haphazard fashion.
First Six Places Unchanged
Mrs. Wightman, who is as keen 9
Judge of lawn tennis values sas there il
in this country, then went to work tc
reetify matters which had not orig.
inalIy been under her personal super.
vision and. with the cooperation OF
her committee, made an exhaustive
study of the tournament records. After
several months of the most careful
research work in this connection the
committee made public the new rank.
ing last night.
The first six places remain IN
changed as follows: No. /. Mrs. Molla
Bjurstedt Mallory; No. 2, Miss Marion
nant; No. A, Miss Helen Baker; No. 5
Miss Eleanor Goss, and No. 6, Mrs
Edward Raymond.
The first change comes in the oustine
OF Miss Marie Wagner from the Ne.
position to No. 10, where she more
rightly belongs. A cursory glance over
Miss Wagner's tournament record dis,
closes what seems like an imposing
list of victories, but when these are
analyzed we find that there are few
high ranking players among her vic,
TINS and there were few tournaments
of national Importance in which thi.
player competed last season.
An Important Precedent
consider this particular case to b.
the most important in the entire list
for the reason that it pintos a moral
namely, that no player can go through
a season of com mpetitive play, taking
part in only minor events and remain
ing absent from fields in which high
ranking players compete, and expect
to receive equal consideration witt

Special Dispctch TO The Tribune

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 29-The
report that Guy Nickalls, the Yale crew
coach, has been suspended and may
not be given charge of the varsity
squad again this year was tonight EN-
phatically denied by Professor Clarence
Mendeli, chairman Of the general ath-
letic committee, who said that there
was no truth in the report.
He said that Nickalls took the Yale
150-pound crew to Philadelphia TO en-
ter the American Henley and that the
coach will call the varsity squad to-
gether on Tuesday and plan for the
final race Of the season, the feur-mile
bout with Harvard at New London.
Nickalls has decided to utilize the
services Of Jim Corderry, the former
English sculler and professional coach.
