Grant for Princeton
To Row at 'keepsie
In 40 Unlikely
Bon by Athletic Boord
Looms With $100, 900
Sports Fund Deficit
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.
Special Correspondent of The ata r

NEW YORK, April 26-When the
Princeton Athletic Board meets this
month to arrange the athletic budget
for 1910 the project of allocating a
larger sum for rowing-specifically
to take care Of extra expense in
volved in sending the Tiger crew
to Poughkeepsie-will be considered.
Prediction is herewith made that
the necessary sum will not be al
lotted. Which means that the crew
OF Old Nassau will not 60 to the
Hudson next year, or, for that mat
ter, any other year while Prince
tons finances are in their present
condition.
OF course, some enthusiastic
alumnus, or group of alumni, may
dig down in their pockets and sup
ply the necessary funds. But, in
view of current economic conditions,
this Is not likely to happen, and
especially is it unlikely when the
old grads would be digging up good
money to see their crews laboring
IN the ruck of the Poughkeepsie
procession. A stimulus in this re-
spect would be to have the Tigers
win a few Of their important mid
dle-distance regattas. which they
have quite consistently been failing
to do in recent years.
Shortage Now Too Great.
AS the situation is at present, it
costs from $4,000 to $4,000 a year
to defray the cost of rowing at
Princeton. A subcommittee of the
athletic council, in studying the re-
quest OF oarsmen and others affil-
lated with the Nassau rowing FAM
lily, estimated that the extra expense
involved in sending the crew to
Poughkeepsie would be $4,000.
InaSmuch as the athletic asso-
citation pays for rowing out of the
budget, $4,000 to $4,000 a year, as
said, it is a moral certainty it is
not going to subject itself to an
additional $1,000 drain.
On the contrary. fiscal dehbera-
tions of the athletic association and
the athletic council in the imme-
diate future are going to be charac-
terized chiefly by pronounced ten
dency toward economy. Just at pres
ent the athletic deficit amounts to
about 100000 and the Princeton
authorities recognize that an attack
upon this economic shortcoming is
indicated as matter of primary
concern.
In the process Of nickel-pinching
cuts OF 5 and 10 per cent are to be
made all along the line. So the
rowing budget stands about as much
chance OF receiving boost as Herr
Hitler stood of getting a birthday
salutation from former President
Benes of Czecho-S -Slovakia.
Request of Princeton rowing men
for permission to 60 to Poush.
keepsie was based chiefly upon the
argument that the oarsmen had no
great objective to their rowing sea-
son. Thus, incentive to enthusi-
astic effort was lacking. Rowing
mileage was another argument,
Tiger crewmen did not row enough
to warrant all their work of prepa-
ration.
Approval Of the athletic council
was one of principle. This is to
say that, in theory, the authorities
approved of the Poughkeepsie idea
Whether they knew anything
about the regatta, its steadily wan
ing popularity as great sporting
event. the disregard of those who
run it for scribes and spectators,
is questionable.

BIZ LEWIS n. ATCHISON.

1t was peaceful parley yesterday
IN the dark recesses of the District
Boxing Commission offices where the
public had been invited to air its
grievances and possibly make a
helpful suggestion or two in the in
terest of the sport. The public
saved its carfare and stayed home,
which was just as well because there
hardly were enough seats to GO
around. But Promoter Joe Turner
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn, Dave
Herman, their minister of pora-
ganda, and a covey of newspaper
men were there, and a good time was
had by all.
The delegates no sooner had
tripped over the doorsill and
trooped in than Maj. Brown inquired
If anybody had read the Grif1en-

either. Under its terms his police
men would have to act as inspectors
and the idea doesn't appeal to him
But that question created only a mild
furry. He tossed stick of real dy-

Cant we ever have middleweight
or heavyweight fight? The fans are
tired of looking at 126-pounders, in
my opinion
Yes said Ahearn, struggling to
control his temper. Yes, we can
have 'em, but where are you going
to get 'em? The fighters are all tied
