EVANS AGAIN TO TRY
FOR WESTERN TITLE

Nv the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, July 5.-"Chick"
Evans of Chicago will try for his ninth
title at the thirtieth annual Western
amateur golf tournament on the Mis-
sion Hills course here July 8 to ID. In
1909 Evans. then a youth, won his first
Western amateur crown, defeating AL
bert Seckel of Chicago. up, in the
tournament held at the Homewood
Country Club at F1ossmoor, Ill.
He won again in 1912, 1914 and 1915,
and from 1920 to 1928, inclusive. In
1916 he AIDED both the national open
and national amateur titles to his COL
lection.
Evans still enjoys competing in the
Western amateur.
IT wouldn't miss it for anything" he
would enter.
Evans is expected to arrive Sunday
for a practice round, preliminary to the
start of the tournament Monday.
Many out-of-town players already
have arrived, and a host OF golfers, IN
Guiding the champion, Frank Dolp OF
Portland, Greg, is expected Saturday.
Among the early arrivals was Keefe
Carter of Oklahoma City. James Man

I the Columbia shell through glasses
picked out anything of that sort. was
so ignorant of the rules and customs OF
rowing that I did not know whether
the use Of the hand pump is prohibited
An expert since has told me that nc
bailing of a shell is permitted excepting
with the hands.
AS TO the matter of the rigging, all
the coaches and all the captains and
coXSwains had the same opportunity
to shift riggings. The Cornell crew,
in particular, had all the time in the
world to study the weather condi-
lions and to adjust the rigging of
their shell, for the Cornell crew was
still in the boathouse down the river
while the other eight crews were
waiting and fretting at the starting
line.
1t was my notion to give the Column
bans full credit for what seemed to me
10 be a splendid and heady achieve
ment. I am quite sure that Mr.. Glen
don, the coach, will answer all the
questions asked by Mr.. Crist, or that
the captain or the coxswain of the Co
lumbia shell will tell anything that hap
pened to the Columbia crew during the
race. My notion is that the Columbia
shell carried no equipment different
from the rest.
The oars in the Columbia shell
were six inches longer than the
sweeps used by any of the others,
but there is no rule limiting the
length of the oars. Crews are per-
mitted to use any oar length they
can handle. The coaches of the
other crews knew a month before
the race of the style of oars used by
the Columbians.
All things considered, I stand by my
original impression that the Columbians
merely outclassed all their competitors.
Dirty Work Afioat.
THE finish of the last regatta at
l. Poughkeepsie reminded me of the
first attempts to establish intercollegiate
rowing on the Pacific Coast. California
and Stamford, the traditional rivals"
in the vicinity of San Francisco Bay,
each organized a crew. The first race
was held on the Oakland Estuary, an
arm of the bay. Before the crews had
rowed half a mile both shells were
swamped and the oarsmen were picked
out Of the odorous low tide, and the
Oakland Estuary is very odorouS indeed.
On the following year something
of the same sort happened. only the
shells Travelled nearly a mile before
the playful breezes blowing in from
the Golden Gate Swamped them. 1t
looked as though the Oakland ES-

WORLD.CASTING MARKS
BROKEN IN OHIO MEET

LIMA, Ohio, July S Up.-New world
records for casting were established
here yesterday at the annual conven-
ton Of the Ohio Association Of Angling
Clubs.
Karl Kinnar Of Geneva, Ohio, broke
two records. In the five-eighths- ounce
distance plug he made O single cast of
278 feet (the former world record was
258); in the one half ounce distance his
cast was 316 feet and the former record
306.
AL Foss Of Cleveland set up 0 new
record Of 1853 feet for the quarter-ounce
plug. This was q single cast.

Another thing it would be interesting
to know is this: Did the Columbia crew
have on the rigging for high water?
Were any OF the other shells equipped
with high-water rigging?
believe that every crew on that
river, besides tens of thousands of 9TH
erS who admire and love this sport,
would highly value presentation of the
facts by you. And none who has fol-
lowed your writings for years would
question for moment the fearlessneSs
and the accuracy of your findings.
There Is another angle that makes
this seem a task worth doing. In
each boat were nine men who had
given constant and unremitting toll
for six months-they had made
many self-denialS and worked with
praiseworthy persistence and 10y
atty. If some went down through
no lack on their part and others
managed to struggle through because
OF special equipment or shelter from
the nearby shore, it would be fine
spirited thing to bring out all the
facts. Winners and losers alike would
be glad to know the truth, and the
fellows who went down with break
ing hearts would be glad for years to
come to have the world and their
friends know they were not at fault.
II have been interested in these races
for 40 years. have seen many of them
and know quite bit of the fine quail
ties of the men who are willing to make
such sacrifices for half the year"
I do not think that this Is an attempt
to excuse the Cornell crew. The referee
Of the last regatta has made 1t plain
that the lateneSs of the varsity race was
due to the delay of the Cornell crews
in that and in the junior varsity race in
reaching the starting line. If the Cor
nell crews had been at their posts &C
cording to schedule the main race would
have been rowed on comparatively
smooth water.
In that race the Columbians rowed in
about the same stretch of water as the
Californians. The Columbians finished
Ahile the crews in the neighboring lanes
foundered. It was my notion that the
Columbians finished because Of perfect
workmanship. SO far as I could distin-
guish in that dim light. While the
sweep of the Columbia oars was rhyth-
mic and steady, the oars in the other
two boats were Splashing badly in the
upstream wind. still think that they
would have finished first in any sort of
weather conditions.

On the day of the race the California
