COURSE NOT SELECTED
FOR COLLEGE REGATTA

NEW YORK, January 20.-Repre-
sentatives of Columbia, Cornell, Penn
sylvania and Syracuse met here yes
terday, and decided to hold the an
nual regatta on June %, provided
Poughkeepsie is elected for the race.
The meeting adjourned without TAX
ing any action on the distance of the
varsity race and without definitely
deciding to return to the Hudson
river course.
The stewards will visit Geneva In
the near future to look over the Ia
cilities on Lake Seneca. The Geneva
Chamber of Commerce has extended
a cordial invitation and Syracuse Is
in favor of having the crews row on
the upstate lake.
If satisfactory arrangements can De
made with the West Shore railroad
for observation cars and with the
city of Poughkeepsie. it is generally
believed that the Geneva proposition
will be turned down in favor OF the
old stamping ground"

Launches Into speech.
After few words the master of cere-
monies introduced the congressman.
We all got out for some big league stuff
In the way of oratory.
Ladies and gentlemen" began the
congressman, you are now looking
upon the greatest collection Of athletes
that the world has ever known. They
form what is known as the Baltimore
orioles. the greatest. most picturesque
and most spectacular base ball club in
history. They have hOnored us by COM
ing here to break bread with our hum
Bile townsfolk. We consider that more
or an honor than they can understand
Little do you realize what this growth
OF an athletic game and the presence
OF us most noted exponents means to
our coming young manhood (applause)
In my arduous duties at the Ma
tional Capital 1t may be that YOU

athIetes has done. / realize how they
have won. These men. despite handi-
caps have won q championship. The
glory and wonder of that achieve
ment. though. is what they have won
W4h practically no pitching staff at
alF-the worst pitchers in base ball."
The Audience Is Stunned.
Mcmahon and Doc Pond. who had
been leaning forward in anticipation
OF the climax, almost fell out of their
chairs. The crowd was stunned for
ing.
The great orator did not know that
the whole show was given in honor
of Mcmahon. He had tried to bull
his wsy through by reading the pa
pers-Washington papers.
The show was a bust The next
election the congressman lost that
1t was several seasons before we
got through kidding our pitching staff
about that speech.
And speaking of mustaches, l must
tell you one on Wilbert Robinson.
AS l have said. Robbie was always
careful about his mustache having
that snappy upward twist at the ends
Tim Hurst the umpire. who died
some years ago. never thought much
of mustaches. He shot many a witty
crack at the players about these ap-
pendages. Tim. as you know, per-
haps, never took any back talk from
| a player. If he did the player suf-
| fered in the consequent repartee.
What Tim Hurst Did.

Sure. Tender won, and he had the
decision coming to him, but it was
only by an extremely bloody eyelash.
Pretty nearly every one at the ring
side held the same opinion, which
was that up to the thirteenth round
1t was as even a battle as any one
would want to see. In the twelfth
Tender, who was far from the boy
who gave Leonard such an everlast-
ing plaStering some months back,
seemed to regain some of his best
form. In that session there was such
wicked, slambang milling that the
crowd was on it's feet most OF the
time and Lew came out Of it with a
very slight edge.
Both boys were tired at the OPEN
ing of the thirteenth, but they gath
cred speed as the seconds licked on
and Tender again had margin. So
it was in the fourteenth and fifteenth
rounds. with Moran fighting coura-
geously and returning sock for sock,
but with Tender forcing the fighting
1t was one of the bloodiest scraps
local fans have seen this winter.
Tender had Moran's nose oozing
claret from the seventh round on. but
later Moran returned the compliment.
and then for good measure he opened
two nasty cuts on Tenders cheeks
that spouted red corpuscles all over
the canvass, not to mention the
glistening white silk shirt and white
fiannel trousers of Referee Kid Nc
Partland.
Moran's showing was a great sur
prise to every one, including Mr..
Tender, who was favored in the bet
ting, but not in the hearts of the
10, 00o- odd who had gathered to see
vastly unpopular such great little
fighter as Lew Tendler is with the
New York fight bugs.

In the Business-W Western game ii
was not so much a form reversal for
Western as it was a close guarding
game by Business that turned the
tables. The Westerners passed as
we'll as usual when they had the op-
portunity. but Business defensive
tactics under it's basket so harassed
the Red and White that 1t found II
difficult to hold the ball. The Stenog
raphers then generally made good
with shots for points. Business play
was much more aggressive than in
last weeks engagement.
CentraI's Play Is Sluggish.
Centrars downfall was due as much
to it's sluggish play as to the fiery
performances of Tom Hook and his
Eastern associates. In the early part
of the game the big Blue and White
team was lifelesS and a fair target
for the dashing little Capitol Hill outfit.
With Hook playing one of the best
games seen in scholastic basket ball
here in some time, and the others per-
forming almost up to his standard,
Central did not count from scrim-
mage until the game was seventeen
minutes old. and all told made but
four field goals, an amount registered
by Hook alone.
The Business Western game was
anybody's from the start. Western
counted first when Frisby made good
with his second heave from the Is
foot line. but Walker put Business in
the van with two successful free
