SECOND

RACE

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. Ys June
25.-Uniyersity of Washingtons
giant oarsmen were the favorites
today as nine college crews,
trained to the last muscle, waited
tomorroW's annual intercollegiate
regatta over the Hudson River.
Navy and Columbia were second
choices and California and Cor
nell were figured as possible dark
horses who may upset all calcu-
lationS.
The Huskies, confident Of vic
tory, were generally the favorite
choice for the four-mile battle
and betting odds were 3 to 2 that
the Huskies will triumph. Bet
ting odds on Columbia, Cornell
and Navy were to /; California,
5 to 2; Penn ant Syracuse, to
/; M. I. T., 6 to l, and Wiscon-
sin, 8 to l.
Some of the experts cOnsid-
cred there was little choice
between Navy and Washing
ton, with California dis
tinct menace.
Instructions were given all
crews today to prevent delay at
the start, prolonging the finish
until near-darknesS has covered
the river as in past years. All of
the crews went through rehear-
sal last evening with the stake
boats, under the English idea,
which will be used in the start
this year. Under this plan the
shells are held in alignment by
a tow-rope controlled by the bow
car. Another rehearsal will take
place today.
Syracuse, coached by the
veteran Jim Ten Eyck, today
was being closely watched by
man, enthusiasts and at
race time tomorrow may be-
come one of the popular fav-
OriteS. This crew has been
working in secret and Just
what is its power is not
known.
The Golden Bears suffered some
alarm when it was learned Bill
Daley has an infection in one
of his hands. Whether the in
fection will prove serious and
cause a substitution in the Cali
fornia shell will be determined
today.
All of the crews worked yester-
day in final tuning ur drills, but
the water was choppy and no
attempt was made TO attain great
speed.
Coach Wray. of Cornell, COM
menting on the far Western en-.
tries, Washington and California,
leaned to the Golden Bears.
Don't be surprised If Call.
fOrnia defeats Washington"
he said.
KY Ebright. California coach,
while not predicting a win for
his outfit, said today, except for
Daley, the Bears were in splendid
condition. -
"The crew is running
smoothly and as strong as
ever" he said.

yNEY SERVED SUBPOENA AT GODFREY -CARNERA RINGSIDE
SHERIFF DOES
ACT TW|XT
ROUNDS
Does Wasnqton University Oarsen Favored Regatta TOmOrro

PHILADELPHIA, June u.s.
Gene Tunney, retired champion
of the world, was served with a
subpoena in the suit instituted
several years ago by Max Hoff,
while the former heavyweight
king was a spectator at the i'll
starred bout between Primo Car
nera and George Godfrey.
Tunpey, accompanied by Ber-
nard Ginbe1, his confidant and
pal, had pushed through the
crowd to occupy. a seat, just be-
hind the press quarters. Gene
greeted a considerable number
Of his friends, talked freely and
then settled back to watch the RI
Vals for his abandoned throne.
During the halt between rounds
D chap showed his way through
the seats and stuck a paper into
the once kingly mitts.
whats that?" said the
startled .Tunney, taken wholly
aback at the move.
Read it and find Out"
said the deputy sheriff, who
was the process server.
Tunney scanned it, briefly,
while a perplexed frown creased
Nis brows.
"But what will 1 do with
lt?" inquired the exasperated
I Gene, as he looked at the
deputy.
'I don't know what you'll
do with it." said the courier,
''but advise you not to
lose it.
This is probably the first time
that Tunney has ever been served
ln the suit, which. is now pending
Ia the New York courts. Max
declares that Tunney owes him
certain percentage Of his mon
eys, acquired after he won the
heavyweight title, at the Sesq1i
stadium some years ago.
On the day before the fight,
September 81, 1926, Hoff lent
$50, ZOO TO IUnney, LnrOugn MS
manager at that time, Billy Glib
son.
The contract, which was pur-
ported to have been drawn, gave
Max a percentage Of the moneys,
only in case that Tunney became
champion.
This strange proviso has
never been explained by any
of the parties to the suit.
Tunney and Gibson, however,
refused to go through with the
stipulations which they are said
to have contained so that legal
action was taken.
Since that time, however, Billy
Gibson, pilot Of Tunney, has be-
come insane. Tunney, himself
has retired. and a number of
those who might be witnesses
have departed for places where it
is possible a subpoena will not
reach them,

POISON LIQUOR CAUSES PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC
Twenty Patients in Pro, idencc HOs- pital Victims of Jamaica Gin-
 gcr-TWo Partly Blinded.

Providence, K. l., March 14 (JP) The condition of 70 patients being treated at local hospitals for liquor poisoning that has resulted in par tial paralysis 10 IS and in partial blindness to two, indicates that Jamaica ginger which contained wood alcohol was responsible, Dr. Charles V. Chapin, superintendent of health, stated today.
 Among the new cases reported to- day was that of Lawrence Kerwin, 4l, travelling salesman, of Roches- ter, N. Y.
 Kerwin, who has been in this city on business several weeks, was stricken with leg paralysis while standing in front of a Broad street house shortly before midnight. Hos pital authorities said the man was not intoxicated. kerWan said he lad taken some Jamaica ginger about two weeks ago and that his legs had gradually weakened since that time.
 Dr. Chapin said that a flood of Jamaica ginger was being sold and consumed throughout Rhode Island and that, doubtless, numerous cases of Unreportcd affliction existed.
 Police Superintendent William J. ONcil obtained l5 samples of Ja- maca ginger from various parts of the city yesterday "A turned them over to State CheHI,,t Franklin N. Strickland for analysis. Strickland's s report was expected later today.
