RY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Illness and
scholastic difficulties are the reasons
for the decision OF the University oi
Wisconsin rowing authorities not tC
send the Badger crew to Pough
keepsie this year.
Rowing enthusiasts who have found
inspiration in the broadly national
character of this great boat race will
regret the absence of the Madison
crew, which year after year has car
ried the standard of midland sporting
spirit gallantly and with distinction.
1t Is not too much to say that nc
crew rowing at Poughkeepsie bore
more consistently the good wishes of
those interested in rowing who were
not swayed by partisanship.
Is Costly Jaunt.
None the less Wisconsin has her
own interests to consider. The trip
East is by no means an inexpensive
jaunt and the University is too inn
portant, too we'll known, too highly
reputed in its standing as an educa-
tional institution to be attracted by
any problematical advertising value
that accrues from representation in a
sporting event.
Two veterans, Horsfall and Orth,
were removed from the Badger shell
because of scholastic deficiencies, and
now Capt. Burfus, the stroke, and
Kingsbury, another regular, have
fallen out through illness.
With the combination thus disin-
tegrated the futilfty of sending a
make-shift crew to the Hudson was
manifest and the oarsmen who have
been working hard since the first of
the year recognized this as clearly as
any one.
First Appeared i'm 1900.
The Badgers first appeared at
Poughkeepsie in 1900 and nearing the
finish were in the lead, apparently the
winners, when the shell rammed a
peach crate and Pennsylvania shot
into the lead, a victor by less than two
seconds.
Next year Wisconsin finished third
and in 1902 she gave a great Cornell
crew a ding dong battle to the finish
line, losing the battle in the end by
eight seconds.
Cornell won again in 1903 with
GEORGETOWN second and Wisconsin
third. The crew from Madison did
not come East again until 1906, when
il finished fourth just astern of SYRIA
cuse. In 1907 and 1908 the Western
ers finished last; in 1909, fourth; 1910,
last; 1911, fourth; in 1912 the Badgers
were nosed out by Cornell and in 1913
they came in fourth, three seconds be-
hind the University of Washington,
eighth. Last year they finished in
seventh place. =
In 1914 Wisconsin athletic authori.
ties, as the result of an Investigation
Of the physical effects of rowing upon
crew men, abandoned intercollegiate
aquatics, and it was not until 1924
that an eight from Madison was again
represented upon the broad bosom of
the Hudson.
Gets Second Place.
The return was signalized by finish
ing second to Washington. In 1925
Wisconsin was third, following the
Navy and Washington in order.
What Wisconsin always has needed
has been strong home competition.

AL SMITH REPLIES
 TO COL. ROOSEVELT
Makes Counter Charge of Gam.
 bling in 6. Q. P. Clubs

New York, Nov. P>-Counter- charges Of open gambling in republi- can clubhouses, together with the additional charge that in one club armed gunmen were hired to pro tect the play, were made yesterday by Governor Smith in a statement replying to similar charges made against democratic clubhouses by Colonel Roosevelt.
 Colonel Roosevelt, in his keynote speech at the republican state con- vention in Rochester. which was SUD- plemented in a recent speech in an uptown schoolhouse, asserted that Governor smith having been identi- fled throughout his political career with Tammany Hall, must accept re- sponsibili,y for the corrupt condi- tlons the speaker attributed to Tam many Hall, He termed the gover- nor the bell wether" of the demo- cratic political organization.
 Vital Issues Ignored
 The governor prefaCed his state ment with the remark that it must seem strange to the people of the state that "the young colonel" should devote himself to an attack upon me and my administration" in the heat of d campaign on nine con- Sttutional amendments many of which are of grave importance. The statement ended with d return to this subject.
 "Why don't you try to render q real service to the state? Talk about the pending constitutional amend mcnts, no matter which side of the question you take. you will at least be stirring up public interest in the real issue of the campaign. and quit the job of trying to pull the red hot

Six Candidates in Race for Presidential Nomination
BY GEORGE II. MANNING


 Washington Bureau of the x. E. Heraldl
 Washington, D. C., Nov. 3-Wlth every apparent Republican candi- date for President from the west or the middle west, the battle for convention votes rages fierCest on the western sector. with scouting expeditions into the east.
 The entry of Senator Curtis, ma 1ority floor leader of the Senate, definitely settles the vote of the Kansas delegation. The boom for Senator George Norris, started by the western insurgont Republicans doubtless means that Nebraska dele gates will support him in the con- yention. Former Governor LoWdcn and Vice President Charles G. Dawes had both been counting on the Nebraska delegation, and cer- tainly Secretary of Commerce Her bert Hoover mad q chance to win either or both of these delegations.
 Of the six westerners now in the race, at least three are not to be considered very serious CQntonders. Senator Norris and most of his sup porters have no hope that he might get the nomination. They are going into the primaries just 10 gather strength for a western progressive movement within the convention. Senator Frank E. Willis of Ohio may get his own delegation, but he is not expected to get more. Gov ernor Lowden and Nice-prcsident Dawes will have to fight for the H. linols delegation, and not many of Lowdcn's supporters believe that he could be nominated.
 Curtis Motive Suspected
 Senator Curtis has the prognos- ,icators busily guessing. In accept ing the support of Kansas for the nomination, he firmly stated that he had no intention of being Stalking horse" or q "favorite son" in the usual sense of the term. He served notice that he is going to be q real candidate, or none at all. :. Still, some of. the western group Believe that his candidacy is pri- marily d move to prevent Hoover, Norris. or Lowden from capturing the Kansas delegation. They do not take his candidacy very seriously, but they are aware that he has reputation of saying little. but mean ing what he says.
 Curtis, chiefly because he rarely speaks on the floor of the senate. almost never goes outside his own state making speeches, never issues statements to the press, and in gen eral keeps quiet, has not made of himself a national public figure as have the other western contenders. Yet, he is the most experienced poli- tician of the lot, and the politicians know and trust him. He has been running for office since he was 24 years old, and he has failed to be elected only once. He has been in politics for 43 years.
 East Favors Hoover or Dawes
 Of the entire lot, Hoover has the best chance at getting support in the east, with Dawes running sec ond in that respect. In fact, unless

political chestnuts out of the fire for the discredited leaders of your old. broken down, dilapidated. corrupt, republican machine"
 The governor freely admitted the truth of Colonel Roosevelt's charg- es about gambling in democratic .clubhouses and the police raids that uncovered it,
 C. o. r. Club Raided
 That is true" he said, the raids were directed by police commis- sioner who was appointed from my cabinet by the mayor of the city But I did not hear you say anything about the raids that were made on republican clubhouses for open gambling, and lest you have knowl- edge of it let me say that in one re- publican clubhouse that was raided, police were met with armed resis- tance. and it is a matter of record in police headquarters that gunmen with police records were in the em- ploy of this republican club to pro- tect the game. xxx
 Bear in mind. Colonel, that I am just as much opposed to gambling as you are. but while We are talk ing about it let's be truthful"
 Governor Smith denied a state ment of Colonel Roosevelt that he had investigated republican counties and failed to investigate democratic ones.
 He charged the colonel with com- plcte ignorance of fiscal matters in the state and said that figures Roosevelt used to bolster his argu- ments were evidently prepared by somebody in the republican state committee who knows as little about the subject as you
 "Pleasc do not insult the inteili- gcnce of the people of the state" he said in conclusion, "by attempting to lead them to believe that the gov crnor is a policeman and should go out patrolling his post every night looking for violators of the law

paid the entire expenses Of holding the primary election.
 That was the year the congress sional districts were reallocated and he had lost several counties which had been supporting him, and had gained some new ones where he had no political connections. But in that primary he carried six of the eight counties.
 With so many candidates dividing the West, the time seems particular ly suspicious for an Eastern candi- date to come in and dominate the field. Charles Evans Hughes is the only apparent possibility in the East, and he has declared he Is too old. still he is younger than Curtis or Lowden.

Several hundred Herald newsboys
invaded the Strand theater this
afternoon to watch the performance
as guests of the Strand management
and Baby Peggy who is giving her
last performance of a three day en-
gagement there today. The atten-
dance Of "newsies" bears good wit
ness to the attraction of the child
stage and screen star to other
youngsters, as scarcely a notice of
the invitation was necessary to get
full attendance of Herald carriers.
Her act, needless to say, was
source of great pleasure 10 the news
mongers who expressed their salts
faction in a most boisterous manner.
In addition, Dominic Cartelli, city
marble champion, who went to At
lantic City last week to contend in
the finals of the national Champion
ship, appeared upon the stage and
was personally introduced to the
little actress.
Arrangements for Baby Peggy's
appearance at the Newington Home
for Crippled Children Were cancelled
at the last moment as the youngsters
had been taken to Hartford to see
the circus playing there.
Baby Peggy is to go from here to
Stamford where she will play the
latter part of the week. She will play
in Hartford the first part of next
week.
