Princeton Varsity Crews
Halted by Wind and Rain
Freshmen, However, Enjoy a
Spin on Lake Carnegie.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
PRINCETON, March 7.-strong wind
and driving rain prevented tho Prince
ton varsity crews from making their
expected advance to Lake Carnegie this
afternoon for the a-st Tina this year.
DR.. ]. Duncan Spaesh was especially
disappointed as to-day is the anniversary
OF the date last year when the eights
embarked. beginning what was the most
successful year in Princeton crew his
tory for the last decade. The good
augury had to be passed by. however,
as the weather conditions prohibited any
chance at all Of trying the water.
The keen disappointment Of the Tiger
oarsmen and coaching staff was some
what mitigated by the fact that the
high wind has almost cleared the lake
of much brush and driftwood, which
has obstructed II. The varsity boats
will be sent out tomorrow II the storm
ceases
The weather had no effect in dis
couraging Coach John Fitzpatrick ce
the freshmen, who may have saved
some of the good luck by starting out
the first second and third freshman
eights in gigs. Even the gigs were
seriously embarrassed, however. by the
winds and waves.

SPAIN JOINS LIST
OF TENNIS BIDDERS
Is Ninth Nation to Send
Challenge for Davis
Cup.
nv SAMUEL J. BRooKMAN.

Spain. che first nation to challenge for
the Davis cup in 1921, Il ninth on the
list OF bidders this year. The challenge
was filed by cable yesterday by Jess
Mesalles OF Barcelona secretary of the
Spanish Lawn TENTS Association. Last
season the Spaniards. competing for the
first time In the international tourna-
ment, were put out in the first round by
the team Of the British Isles, but the
margin of the Englishmen was very
slight. With additional experience this
year and with Manuel Alfonso. a mighty
strong nucleus for a team, Spain should
do even better this time. Alfonso liz re-
garded in some European circles as the
fourth or fifth best player in the world.
Incidentally, so far as the headquar-
ters Of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association knows. the number OF chal-
lenges TO date Is eight instead of nine,
with the British Isles. Australasia, France.
Canada, Denmark, CZecho-Slovakia, Italy
and spain. making up the list Accord
ing, however. to n special cable from
the HERALD's London office a few days
ago. challenge is on the way from
Rumania, which nation brings the total
to nine.
While II Is known that Rlman,a has
some very capable players among its
citizens, notably Nicholas Mishu who
has participated In numerous British
tournaments, the news OF q challenge
from that country comes as a decided
surprise to officials OF ths United States
Lawn Tennis Association. 1t may be
added that It comes as a welcome sur
prise, for the field of challengers cannot
be TOO large to please the Americans. 1t
win be Rumania's first Davis cup expe-
rience.
The challengers of last year that have
not been heard from as yet are Japan.
Belgium and India Japan, with Zenzo
Shimidzu, a resident of New York and
with Ichiya Kumagae soon on his way
back to the United States, Is regarded
as a certainty, and the Indian team sent
word recently Of its expectation Of visit
ing this country again this summer. Bel
giurl, alone Of the three, is a doubtful
entrant Argentina, which defaulted last
year, after cabling its challenge. is
possibility but even If the list of chal-
lenges remains as 1t stands now, the in
ternational event already is assured of
as great a success If not greater than 4
year ago.

Six Per Cent. Race Track
Bill Killed IN Assembly
c. II. Belts of Wayne Threat
ems Another Against Betting.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
ALBANY, March 7.-Assemblyman
Charles II. Belts of Wayne county
charged here to-day that powerful
race track lobby had practically sue
ceeded in killing his bin imposing a G
per cent. tax on the gross receipts of all
racing associations. He said that for
some mysterious reason the Assembly
Tax Committee was unable tc get suffi-
Client votes to report 1t and he attriD-
uted 1t to the activity of several race
track attorneys who have been active
about the capital this week.
My answer TO them Is the introduce
tlon of q bill to-day which would put
the race tracks out of business" Belts
said. 1T would make oral betting or
any other kind of betting a misde-
meanor. punishable by year in prison
If the Rules Committee does not see iii
to give favorable action on my tax bill
l shall press this anti-gambling bill and
/ shall continue the fight for it in the
next session of the Legislature.
"The race tracks have fooled both the
public and the State. Last year when a
IL per cent. tax was proposed they
pleaded that it was too high. but agreed
to stand for tax on the receipts. An
ticipating the tax they increased the ad-
mission fees but failed to cut out the
extra charge when the bill failed Of en-
actment. They are now making every
effort to beat this new tax bill after
agreeing that 1t was a reasonable levy.
In doing so they are making the public
stand for a charge that has never been
imposed on the tracks and at the same
time are doing the State out of a Just
source of income"
