by Former Bow after Strenuous Trials—Oxford is Improving. (Paris Times Spécial) LONDON, Wednesday.—The chief incident of the past few days in the practice of the Cambridge eight at Ely has been the shifting of Maclay from bow to stroke. At present it is not regarded as a permanent change, and it is hoped that Elles will soon be in fit condition to take up his oar again. Elles’ departure from the boat came after a particularly hard practice toward the end of last week. Although he did not show signs of being any more fatigued than the others, his place next day was taken by Anstey, and when practice was resumed this week after a rest on Saturday, Maclay was found in Elles’ seat, with Wynne-Thomas taking the bow oar. The unfavorable rowing conditions on the Thames during the past week have proved a strenuous test for the Light Blues. The river is considerably above normal level, and a swift current has made the men work their hardest while travelling up-stream. Dudley Ward, the coach, seems very well satisfied with the condition of his men, for, despite the extra effort required of them, they have been comparatively fresh even after the hardest spurs. The rowing was powerful, if not as polished as some of the eights of other years at this stage of training. Oxford Practice. The Oxford oarsmen have been in strict training now for some days. The conditions for the Dark Blues have been even more unfavorable than for Cambridge. It was only because the boat had been fitted with stabilizers that the men were able to go out at all the beginning of this week. There have been no changes in positions, Llewellyn still appearing to be the successful candidate for stroke. It is likely that the present order of rowing will prove to be the final one. That the boat is improving creditably is evidenced by the showing made on one particularly long paddle below Sandford. From the Boathouse the men rowed to Iffley without an “easy,” with the stroke at a steady 24. They continued

This rate was gradually slackened to 29 after a stiff row, but not until the boat had travelled more than two miles was an “easy” called. Dr. Mallaby seems to have worked great improvement since he took up his duties as coach. Hard work appears to agree with the men, and he has seen to it that they have had plenty. After today, which is the last on home waters, Colonel Bourne will direct training at Henley. TWO WINS FOR RYAN END LA FESTA TENNIS MONTE CARLO, Wednesday.—Miss Elizabeth Ryan yesterday added two victories to her list for this season on the Riviera. In the singles final on La Festa courts, she defeated Mrs. Satterthwaite, 6-3, 6-1, thereby becoming holder of the Duke of Connaught's Gold Vase, which Miss Helen Wills won last year. Miss Ryan later played with Mrs. Lambert Chambers against Mrs. Satterthwaite and Senorita de Alvarez, and the latter team was defeated in quick time by 6-0, 6-4.

(Paris Times Spécial ) NEW YORK, Wednesday.—Variety was offered to chess enthusiasts in the seventh-round game of the Masters’ Tournament, played between Capablanca and Spielmann. The latter’s pawn to king’s fourth opening was replied to by the Cuban with the Caro Kann defence, a style of play seldom used by Capablanca and far from common in any tournament. The game was drawn on the twenty-eighth move, but Capablanca was compelled to force exchanges in order to prevent his opponent from obtaining the advantage of position. Niemzowitsch met Marshall, a Zandfort's opening being used, and Vidmar opposed Alekhine, queen’s pawn opening. Both these games were adjourned. The scores now are: Capablanca, 5 1/2; Niemzowitsch, 3 1/2; Alekhine, Spielmann and Vidmar, 2 1/2; Marshall, 1 1/2. Capablanca and Spielmann are the only two players without adjourned games to finish. Spielmann Pressed. The Capablanca-Spielmann follows: game

The draw was a virtual certainty after 23, Kt-Q 3, only an unexpected slip by one of the players being capable of altering the outcome.
