YANKEE SCULLER
LOOMS STRONG IN
ENGLISH CLASSIC
Walter Hoover of Duluth, an
Oarsman of Repute, Enters
Diamond Scull Race.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL.

NEW YORK, June 6.-(By L. P.)
Since he has lost nearly every
thing else in the way of a title,
Johnny Bull can't be blamed for
putting a chest over the Diamond
Scuu trophy which has been gath
ering dust on a British shelf since
1897.
The Diamond Scull is symbolic Of
the best pair Of arms and legs and
the best heart that sits in a boat.
Since 1897 when z. II. Teneyck Of
Worcester, Mass. won the trophy,
the evidence has been that the best
man in the world behind a pair Of
oars was a Briton.
Stood by Club.
However. there was a iuke at
tached and 1t may be unfiucked this
year.
Jack Kelly, retired American
sculling champion who won an un-
official worlds title at the Olympic
games by beating all the worlds
best oarsmen, was never allowed TO
compete for the Diamond SOULS
because Jack belonged to the Yes
per Boat club in Philadelphia and
the British and the Nesper club
were not on speaking terms. Kelly,
If he had renowned his club affilia-
ton would have been Permitted 10
race for the trophy but he wouldn't
do IT.
He waited for his chance against
the British oarsmen and he got it
at the Olympic games when he won
a distinguished victory. Kelly has
retired now but there is a worthy
flag bearer ready 70 step into his
shoes-Walter Hoover. an oarsmn
and civil engineer Of Duluth.
Hoover For Chance.
Hoover won the Philadelphia
Gold Challenge cup, emblematic OF
the American championship yester-
day and he broke the worlds rec
ord by padding a mile and a quar-
ter in 1924.
Hoover sails today for London
where his entry has been accepted
in the Diamond SOULS races TO be
conducted In conjunction with tbs
Henley races on June 30.
On his present form. Hoover
ought 10 win the trophy.

They took on the bout, not as a

In other words. Leonard has no

EXTERMINATOR, IN
SEVENTH YEAR, IS
FEARED ON TRACK
Winner of Kentucky Derby in
1913 Rivals Man O War
and Norwich.

LOUISVILLE. KY, June 6."By
A P)-When the history OF the
American turf IS written. turf fol-
lowers say, that one name that must
be written far Up IN the list is that
Of Exterminator, Willis Sharpe Kill
mer's great stake winner. BY taking
the Kentucky Handicap at Churchill
Downs last month the great son OF
MCGEE passed the s2Oe. 900 mark,
and incidentally took his place next
10 Man O'War, the super horse
which captured S24s.465 in winnings
during his brief racing career.
Faster Than Norwich.
Moreover Exterminator carried
13S pounds. top weight in the Ken
lucky Handicap and negotiated the
distance in 2:O4 2-5 on a rather slow
track Two weeks prior 10 this per-
Torrance, Norwich. unbeaten in a
dozen starts. made the same distance
on fast track in 1904 As. The 1922
Derby winner carried only 126
pounds.
Exterminator's owner apparently
fears no field. In the last race here
the great son Of MCGEE defeated
some of the best handicap horses on
the American turf. including Fire
brand, Jefferson Livingston's favor
tie. which carried the next highest
impost. 119 pounds. Based on the
records of the American turf, Exter-
minator, in the opinion Of those who
have delved into them, is the great
est horse of all time. Man O'War
is conceded to be the greatest three
year-old, but he has been retired,
while Exterminator still Is running.
Exterminator really stepped into
greatness when he won the Ken
lucky Derby in 1918. in a field con-
tanning such thorough reds as Esco-
ba, Viva America. Jack Hare. jr, and
War Cloud Most of these horses to-
day have given up the struggle and
have dropped by the wayside, but
EXterminatOr still carries on.
Still Going Strong.
In his seventh year EXterminator
is looking forward to more winnings
and his trainer. Eugene Wayland
already has indicated that the Derby
winner of four years ago will be on
manu- 10 compete III the 1uuEptuu6ul
Handicap at Latonia on July 4
Trainer Wayland also has intimated
that Exterminator will return tC
Kentucky soil in the fall to take part
in sup races here and at Lexington
He has a number Of stake engage
ments in the East during the next
few weeks.
Exterminator bids fair to approach
the winning mark set by Man O'War
and some followers of the turf are
predicting that he will pass the
quarter million point before he re-
tires from active participation on the
tracks.
While Man O'Wsr and EXtermina-
tor are the only American horses tc
win more than 100000, record:
show that six horses in England have
reached this amount. They were
Isinglass. Donovan Rock Sand. Ba
yardo, Lemberg and Flying Fox
Carbine, with winnings Of S147. $50
stands highest on the Australian
turf and Sardanaple is the only
French runner TO win more thar
100000.
