SAYS AUSTRALIAN WON
WORLD SCULLING HONOR

To the Editor of The Star:
I know you always like to be ac-
curate and up-to-date, SO I am send
ing you a correction of what Is evil
Friday you published a picture of Mr..
Hoover, winner of the Diamond Sculls,
and stated that this makes him the
world champion. AS matter of fact,
1t does not.
The world championship in sculling
has been held in the south Pacific, on
and off, for many years. New Zea-
land had it several times, also Aus
tralia- The last Englishman to have
it was, I think, Barry. On January
1922, Darcy Hadfield, New Zealand
er, defeated Dick Arnst, also a New
Zealander, on the Wanganui river, in
New Zealand, and James Paddon of
New South Wales, Australia. chal-
lenged him. The race was rowed on
and Paddon, the Australian, won.
Paddon had tried for the world
championship before, when he rowed
Barry on the Putney-Mortlake course,
on the Thames. England. but Barry
just managed to stave off Paddon.
Barry had already defended his title
against Durnan and Pearce. Speak
whether it was Arnst or Hadfield
who eventually defeated Barry and
brought back the title. However, it
now belongs to Australia, but New
Zealand has again challenged.
If Mr.. Hoover covets that title I am
afraid he will have to cross the Pa
cific to win it, and if he beats the
Anzacs I shall be the first to offer
my congratulations. We are little

fort to launch the Nonpartisan League
