 FOR DIAMOND SOULS

Henley on Thames, England, July 6 -(By the A. P.)-Waiter~ M. Hoover the American amateur champion, hail. ing from the Duluth Beat Club. buff feted the Thames breakers to victory today in his first heat of the Diamond Souls against young English cole gian, R. J. G. Tweed.
 Interest in the race was not as to who would win, but whether the scul- lers would be capsized.

 Hoover made good getaway. He took the lead and settled his back against the wind for a long leisurely stroke suited for a marathon distance rather than the mile and a half of the f Henley course. He was satisfied witt finishing a length and a half ahead Of Tweed. and then pulled to his op- ponents boat and congratulated hin on his plucky race. Hoovers time was 10 minutes, Al seconds.
 Hoover, A. A. Baynes, Of Brisbane Queensland, R. Blyth, of Christ col. l lege, and J. Beresford, Jr., of tn, Thames club, winner of the diamond souls in 1920. are left for the semi. finals tomorrow.
 Beresford made the best time to. day, nine minutes, S2 seconds, elim. mating D. H. L. Gollan, a deaf mute of the Leander club. who earlier ir the year at the Marlowe regatta de feated Baynes. Hoover is paired witt Baynes tomorrow. and Baynes tims today was nine minutes 35 seconds.
