NEW LONDON, Conn, June IL
Hard work, as represented by time
trials, has ended for the crews OF Yale
and Harvard that on Friday pick up
the thread Of the oldest college sport
ing event in the United States.
The varsity oarsmen put In their last
real drills yesterday and will keep their
muscles loose only in the intervening
time.
No changes have been noted in the
crews from the boatingS they have
maintained for some time.
1t appears that Yale will row as it
was boated on Wednesday Of last
week. following the time trial in
which the then junior varsity de-
feated the varsity Of that day. This
means Frank Doble, bow; Constan-
tine Mittendorf, q; Willard Brown,

Bob Duane Is steering.
Harvard still is rowing as it has
been all season and the visitor to
the quarters, returning after an ab-
sence of a week, is impressed with the
idea that the crew has advanced to-
ward smoothneSs.
The impression here heightens that
Harvard will be favcrite for the var
sity event when the two face each
other at o'clock on Friday for the

T las Barney Welsh finally ar

r TAs Barney Welsh finally ar
Such a question may seem
- Il ridiculous in the light Of
Barney's long and enviable local rec
ord. but we're speaking today Of a
nationally ranking Barney, a player
whose fame will be banded about the
land; in short, Barney who may,
some day, be Of Davis Cup caliber.
The foundation for such conjecture
was laid, Of course, by Welsh's upset
(?) victory of J. Gilbert Hall, eighth
ranking player Of the country, in the
New England championships at Hart
ford last Friday.
That Barney had not ar.
rived, prior to his victory over
Hall, was illustrated by the
manner in which his feat was
acclaimed as an upset"
Although having played In more
important tournaments than any
other local player, with the possible
exception Of Hunt, Friday was the
first time that Welsh had triumphed
over a major foe. but the convincing
manner in which he did it CO,
6-1) leads to the belief that Hall
won't be his last high-celiber victim.
HISTORY proves, and Barney oft
- has expressed the belief himself,
that any average tennis player sud-
denly may deevlop the confidence
which leads him on to greater things
through an unexpected conquest OF
one whose fame Is widespread. A
realization that you can lick one es-
tablished top-notcher is worth the
memory of a dozen ranking players
whom you might have carried to three
sets-before losing.
You've done 1t once, you can
do It again probably Is the
dominant impression left by
such victory.
Although to a somewhat lesser de-
gree than the rout of Hall, Barney has
other reasons for looking back with
pride on the New England venture.
Before his feat on Friday, Welsh had

~ oUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y. June
II 17.-An East-West battle with
Cornell and Pennsylvania on
L one side and Washington and
California on the other looms for the
intercollegiate championship regatta
here next Monday and with all of the
seven varsity crews entered in training
a favorite has not yet been discovered.
On the basis of performances in
shorter races through the Spring sea-
son, washington and Cornell, the two
biggest eights on the river, were made
the advance favorites. The tall
Huskies, however, have got the river
men wondering.
In a time trial Monday they were
clocked in % minutes over the 4-mile
course and yesterday Coach Al Ul-
Erickson sent them out to pull some
10 miles up and down the river in an
effort to improve their form. The
Huskies, he said, were short on work" 4"
Faster at Shorter Route.
TLBRICKSON, however, makes no
secret Of the fact that he expects
his men to make a fine showing in the
Olympic trials on Lake Carnegie at
Princeton, N. j., July and S. They're
faster at 1000 meters, he says, then
over the longer route and they smashed
the course record all to pieces in trim
ming California, the defending Pough-
keepsie champions, in their Smile
dual race this Spring.
Cornelps crew is the heaviest in
training here and, improving steadily,
became the East's best during the
sprint" season. The big red eight
| didn't reach its training quarters here
until Monday but its smooth, power
full form has made a great impression
| upon the onlookers.
California, aiming at the Olympic
berth as well as the intercollegiate
| title, has been clocked in the good
| time Of 1921 over the 4-mile route
while Penn, the best Eastern eight
until Cornell came along late in the
season, also has been under 20 min
utes in a time trial. As an indica-
ton that coaches KY Ebright of CAL
ifornia and Rusty Callow Of Penn are
pretty well satisfied. those two have
been tapering of lately, taking only
light workouts.
Middies Hitting Stride.
NAVY, which beat Cornell early in
the Spring, may turn out to be a
dark horse. Buck Walsh, Navy
coach, saws his men are lust striking
their real stride. They have had
little chance to pull over the 4-mile
route while practicing on the Severn
at Annapolis.
Neither Columbia nor Syracuse, the
other two entries, has shown any,
thing to merit inclusion among the
possible contenders. Their chances
appear to depend entirely upon how
much they have been able to improve
over their early showings during long
preparatory sessions on the Hudson.

trimmed George Stevens. captain OF
Yale; Harold MacGufin, another
Eastern satellite, and John Cow, New
England champion. Pleasant dreams
seem to be ahead of our young Rock
vile friend, who has the stuff with
which to make dreams come true.
If he can capture his imagination
sufficiently (and I think he cam to
envision himself as one of the coun-
try's best, there are no limits to the
distance the Rockville Rambler may
climb. Being given the opportunity
to play in tournaments throughout the
coming Summer, Barney will meet
some of the best-known figures in
American tennis, scheduled as he is to
travel from New England to the Car
olinas and Midwest to Chicago.
NOTHING is better for a tennis
= player than the opportunity to
play in the best company, and Welsh
will be meeting the best from now on.
II he foresakes one or two local
tournaments, no one can blame him,
as his position here is firmly estab-
lished and nothing further may be
gained. A triumph over another like
Gilbert Hall would be worth two Dis
trict championships to Barney.
Right now welsh is at the top Of
his game, playing hard and steady. His
service has improved tremendously, his
first shot being full Of speed and his
second full of hop. He always has
been brainy player. a perfect court
technician and rarely out-smarted.
Combined with his natural all-around
ability. he should get the one remain
ing quality to round out his game this
Summer-experience.
Barney is out for national ranking
this year, and I think he'll get it.

THE first mixed doubles tennis
championship here in nearly
five years will be decided to-
Il morrow afternoon, when the
tournament bringing together men
and women players on one court Is
concluded at the Edgemoor Club.
But as that competition, one Of
Eve classes sponsored by The Star in
the City of Washington tournament,
ends, the boys and juniors will be en-
tering their second days play, being
slated to play some of their first
round matches this afternoon.
Four mixed teams were to play
semi-final matches late today to de-
termine the finalists for the NOR
rows title round. Mary Cootes and
Ralph McElvenny, the first seeded
team, were to meet the Robinsons.
Margaret and Stan, in one, while
Edith Clarke and Tom Markey we're
to play Bobsey Turney and Tony La

The semi-fnals we're advanced a
dav ahead of schedule when it was
learned that the Robinsons were leav-

would be unable to play in the finals
on that day, should they get by Miss
Cootes and McElvenny.

EUROPE IS WEAK
SCALING HEIGHTS
Has No Material to Match
America in Pole Vault,
Hurdles, High Leap.
BY GAYLE TALBOT,

Associated Press sports Writer.
~ ERLIN.-European jealousy Of
K Americas athletic supremacy,
demonstrated in one Olympaid
after another, reaches the boil
ing point at Uncle Sans ability to
produce champion hurdlers, high
jumpers and pole vaulters.
Only England, with Its Lord Burgh-
ley, has been able 10 give America s
timber-toppers run for their money
in the past, and no European nation
has yet developed any high jumpers or
vaulters worth their salt. They haven't
o hope Of offering the American stars
any real opposition in these events In
the coming Olympic games at Berlin.
All other branches of track and
field they can learn, but something
about vaulting, jumping and hurdling
escapes them. Probably the secret lies
in the lack Of able coaching. Whatever
1t is, a l2-foot 6-inch vaulter can win
almost any meet he enters in England,
and so can a 5-foot 6-inch Jumper.
They are but little better on the con-
tinent.
The best high jumper the Americans
will have to beat at Berlin appears to
be Kurt Lundquist Of Sweden, whose
best recorded effort Is 6 feet 4 inches
That isn't high enough. Neither Is
the l3-foot 7-inch vault, likewise
credited to Swede, Bo Ljungberg.
Europe "Hot" In Field.
WHEN it comes to hurdling, the top
w notch European threat in the
400 meters is believed to be Ernst
Leitner, an Austrian, whose fastest time
and national record is 54.6 seconds
Glenn Hardin set an Olympic mark
Of 50 fiat In the Los Angeles games
Hakan Lidman of Sweden, with a
recorded time Of las seconds In the
1l0-meter hurdles, is a smooth per-
former and the only European candi-
brush at Berlin.

| javelin, as well as in the broad jump,
hop-step-and- Jump and decathlon-
the European lads, with a little help
from Japan and Australia, figure to
make things hot for the best America
can produce.
The discus, in particular, looks like
fight between Germany and Sweden,
while the javelin doubtless will 60 to
a son of Finland, as usual. Germany
has in Will Schroeder the claimant
of the world discus record, with a

Youngsters Under Way.

DUT while the "grown-ups" were
~ preparing to cease firing, for the
time being at least, the Juniors and
boys were preparing to wage long and
hot arguments on and of the court
about their stellar competition.
Thirty-eight players, one OF the
largest Junior fields assembled IN
Washington, started the battling this
afternoon, with discussions, pro aud
con, about the respective rankings
accorded favorites and non-favorites
blending with the actual playing.
Although the decisions as to three
Of the four seeded players were enough
to be called hairline, some of those
unseeded are certain they will make
the committee regret their selection!
by whipping those singled out fol-
distinction.
No dissent was voiced over the NAM
ing of Allie Ritzenberg, the favorite
as the No. l seeded player, but much
was heard anent the choices Of Harry
March, Charley Charming and Johnny
Hatch being ranked in that order.

TN ALMOST story-book style, Chap
man and Cascarella made their
debuts with the Nationals. Ben only
made one hit in five official trips but
included in his offensive contributions
was the stealing of an important base
in the seventh inning and the scoring
of two runs. Defensively. he made it
possible for Cascarella, in a relief
pitching role, to receive credit for the
victory.
Earl Whitehill and Tommy Bridges
started on the respective slabs and
when the Detroit seventh rolled
around the Nationals were ahead, to
2. Then two hits and walk chased
Whitehill from the box and brought
In Cascarella, who lost nine games
and won none for Boston last year.
Marv. Owen, first to face Joe, hit a
curve ball almost out of sight. 1t
bounced against the distant center
field fence. General Crowder, carry
ing Moe Berg on his back, seemingly
could have made at least three bases.
But Chapman, with one Of the great
est heaves on record this season, held
Owen to a mere double and Cascarella,
by getting the next three men out,
still held a 6-5 lead.
Reynolds Hits Pinch Homer.
IT WAS just as well. In the eighth
= inning, with two down. Red Kress
booted a difficult chance by AL Sim
mons and the score was tied, 6-6. The
ninth passed uneventfully, except that
Cascarella was throwing fast balls
and hooks that made terrific impress
eions on Harris.
The rest of the game, after being
saved for him by the newcomers, be-
longed the Reynolds. With two down
in the tenth, Kress drew q base on
balls and Ossie Bluege poked little
single Reynolds was sent up to bat
for Cascarella and he responded with
o Utopian effort The ball he socked
Off Joe Sullivan cleared the left field
fence for homer, scoring three runs
and putting the Griffs ahead, 8 to 6.
Washington almost lost, in Detroit's
half of the tenth, but even q defeat
would have been an anti-climax. Buck
Newsom replaced Cascarella and
nearly tossed it away after Rogell hit
q homer, Fox singled and Gehringer
walked. Buch had to get the next
three batters and, by dint Of much
