YESTERDAYS unfinished business
between Mitchell and Garnett
gave promise Of a real struggle before
rain halted proceedings early in the
second set. Both surprising and de-
lighting his followers, who feared the
worst at the hands of the younger
and more powerful Garnett, Mitchell
was more than holding his own. He
got off to bad start, dropping the
first two games of the opening set,
but then settled down to take six of
of the next nine games Only when
Garnett was able to break his service
in the thirteenth game and win on
his own, was he able to draw first
blood at s.
Again hitting out nearly as hard
as his notorious slugging foe in the
second set, Mitchell had established
a 80 lead when the downpour came.

Mitchell broke Garnett's service in

broke MltchellS three In ten. Other
wise games went with service through

faults at deuce, which cost him the
thirteenth game to pave the way for
Garnetts victory in the first set. and
the latter sent over sizzling place

up against Willie Reddish, rather

Unlike shows which featured Kid

Lewis is regarded by those In fistic

above the newly crowned world

been available for all who attended.
On the contrary. all too often have
the same faithful, who never miss a

the beginning to the end. Little
wonder, then. that tournaments have
been open to the public, with no ad-

whatever causes they may assign for
Its present estate, it is difficult to see
F, how they can fail to place their fingers
upon one primary cause for a condi-
ton that strikes many as distinctly
moribund. 1t is the dominance of
West Coast crews
In the past nine years Pacific
Coast boats have won six varsity
four-nlile events. Coast eights in the
last f1ve regattas have won sequen-

PartSanE Of the various Eastern

road journey to Poughkeepsie and

forts incidental to making their way
to and from the course, all incurred
as the price of the dubious thrill of

OF course, the dominating spirit
Of the Poughkeepsie boat race is
one Of hospitality. Those who con-
duct it want every aspiring crew in
the country to compete, and conse-
quently It's sporting significance is
unrivaled. The crew that wins es-
tablishes itself as national champion
beyond question or cavil. But the fact
remains that general interest as
well as partisan support are evap-
Grating.
It is difficult to know what can
be done about it. Naturally, no one
is going to tell the West Coast crews
they are not wanted. Such action
would be the final blow to this race
as a signal national event. On the

to grow, the regatta eventually will
resolve itself into q two-mile event

John HENRY, a mildmannered

through battling heavyweights, which
he has done with more than small

1t seems, is to square of against the

thus far have steered clear Of the
175-pound class ruler as though he
were in the latter stages Of leprosy.
Lewis. OF course, cannot display the

nevertheless has whipped some poll

Reddish also has done very we'll in
his chosen profession and is regarded
as threat to any heavyweight by
virtue Of victories over such scrappers
as Obie Walker, Terry Mitchell, Eddie
Simms and Billy Nichy.
Willie has shown he can be reached
with right hand in workouts here,
and since Lewis carries a rather potent
dose In his right glove, John Henry
has been established as a prohibitive
