Crew at Finish.
POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. June 29.—
The ghost of a chance of snatching
the country's highest rowing honors
from the pick of eastern eights was
turned into a reality on the Hudson
at sundown yesterday afternoon by the
University of Washington. “Rusty"
Callows “huskies2"
Rowing a heartbreaking race. the
western eight flashed across the line a
winner. just nosing out the Navy crew
who leaped ahead of them in the last
half mile. A mighty diapson of sound
went crashing against the grey sides
of the Catskills as the winning crew
finished. The walls threw the sound
back on the water and it went rolling
down the river to die away finally in
fainter and fainter cheers. The om-
cial time of the race was 14 minutes.
three and two fifths seconds. \Vash-

upon as almost certain to win. Colum-

order named.
Don Waling. the stroke ear of the
winning crew. although suffering in-
tense agony from an infected knee was
in his place when the race started and
gt-ittily saw it through to the end.
Throngs that totalled probably
50.000 people. streamed into Pough—
keepsie by train. boat and motor
throughout the day and they were
still coming a few minutes before the
starting signal for the race. ’Although
they regarded the Navy as a sure
winner they still hoped that Washing-
ton might spring a miracle and they
were not disappointed.
Earlier in the afternoon the Junior
Varsity race and the Freshman race
provided thccrowd with plenty of
thrills. A hint of rain in the air made
the going freakish and uncertain.
Syracuse, Corell. Columbia and
Pennsylvania finished in the order

winner of the Kentucky Derby. the
Belmont. Withers. Rainbow. Paumo-
nok and the Queens County Handicap;
Grey Lag. winner of the Metropolitan.
Kings County. Excelsior and Suburban
handicaps. and Bud Lerner, winner of
an overnight purse, all on the sick list
the chances of Rancocas Stbale
smashing the money won record are
very remote.
Zev, the champion three-year-old
of the year. is perhaps the least hurt
of the lot. but his injury will keep him
away from the races until the Sarato-
ga meeting. Zev was kicked while at
the post in the Futurity last fall and
again in the Preakness he was kicked.
It may be that his old trouble has re-
appeared. if so he might be out the
rest of the year. Turf followers regret
that the brown colt must be laid up.
The fans were rooting that he would
carry everything befor~ him. Zev, had
he remained sound might have ex-
celled Man 0' Vi’ar's money won re-
cord.
Zev was heavily engaged i nstakes.
and if he had succeeded in winning
them he would have landed well over
the $200,000 mark. The colt has won
in his two years of racing more than
$145,000. but as he will not be a start-
er in the Latonia Derby and other rich
stakes yet to be decided at Aqueduct
his chances of surpassing the mark
have gone glimmering. The stable has
strong hopes of bringing him back to
the races for the Spa meeting.
Grey Lag, which has won $26,200
this year. may be seen again under
colors. Grey Lag has been more less
unsound since his three-year-old year.
The oddly ‘markcd horse is recognized
as the best handicap horse in the coun
try. Bud Lerner probably never will
perform again. His case is a. very bad
one. but as Trainer Hildreth is a past
master in patching up cripples and
making them world boaters. he may
bring Bud Lerner back.
With Zev and. 35d Iterner out of all
stakes the chase for gold in the three-
year-old division has taken new life.
When the world was spread that the
Rancocas colts went amiss there was a
general bustle to make arrangements
to ship horses to Latonia for the La-
tonia Derby. Martingale which never
was intended for the Derby. in now

HELP! WANTED BY
FINN-WILLARD
Sparring Partners Needed
by Battlers to Round
Them Into Condition.
Although Luis Firpo and Jess VVil-
lard age in fairly good condition at
the present time for their muss at
Jersey City on Jul ylz. both have
been finding trouble in hiring sparring
partners. It is not the softest job in
the world working with either one.
and usually it only takes two or three
days to wear the helpers out. and a
new batch should be in readiness to
jump into the training. but right. now
no new men are available.
Willard has Joe \Vhite working
with him daily. and Tiny Herman is
expected to sho up from the West to
Join the camp. Jess puts in extra
work on the big sandbag and is doing
six and eight rounds in shadow spar-
ring to make up for the loss in boxing.
He was never fond of roadwork but
makes it up in the gym. Those who
have seen him in action since his re-
turn say that he is working 50 per
cent better than he worked for John-
son and he is beaming with confidence,
his one. thought being a return match
with Dempsey. and that will be his if
he makes good against Firpo.
Willard is banking on keeping F'irpo
off with his long left jab and is using
that punch with vim. He figures it he
can hold the South American of! for a
few rounds he will have him mea-
sured for his right Uppercut. the best
punch in his bag. if 1Villard lands
that left punch often enough there is
no doubt he will take a lot of fight
out of Luis. '
Firpo started his regulm- work at
Long Branch Tuesday. having Jack
McAuliffe with- him. but Jack is not
any too anxious to be battered around
every day and may chuck the Job.
Jimmy De Forrest expects to have
Bill Tate added to the camp. which
will be a big help. for Bill is one of
the best sparring partners Firpo could
get. He is tall and rangy. is hard to
hit and a hard worker. There is a
good chance for any heavyweights
out of work to pick up $20 a day
to work with either man. but to date
there have been no applicants for the
jobs. .

Pitching Duel Promised in
Lockwood’s Clash With
Colored Giants.
In all probability there will be one
of the prettiest pitching duels of the
season Sunday. if Carlson pitches for
the Lockwoods against the Panama
Giants. The last time the negro team
faced him he was hurling for the
Howard; of Brooklyn and the Giants
couldn't do a thing with him. He won
4-1. The walloping has not been for-
gotten.
Carlson is a South Norwalk boy who
has been attending the New York
Universi y and has starred on the ball
team. e tighter the situation the
better he pitches and three men on
base and none out with a dangerous
hitter up is his dish. Invariably he
tightens and nothing happens.
On Saturday the Lockwoods enter-
tain the Brooklyn Blue Socks at
Amusement Park. This team has a
reputation of playing a high grade
game of ball.

Plan to Organize Team of
Track Athletes for
Summer Games.
NEW YORK. June 29.—Thee-e is a
movement among the prominent track
athletes located in the East to put up’l
a baseball team on the field composed
entirely of track athletes. The matter
was discussed informally during the
recent meet in Buflalo. where twenty
or more of the star athletes competed.
Among those who said'they would
like to play baseball this summer if
such_a team was organized were Joie
Ray. Abe Kiviat. Jimmy Connolly,
Jake Drlscoll. Bernie Wefers. Jr.:
Andy Kelly. Jack Seller-e. Mike De-
vaney and Sid Leslie. All of these
athletes have played at some time or
other with uniformed teams.
. They consider this a fine opportu-
nity to keep in good physical condi-
tion this summer. owing to. the few
athletic meets scheduled between now
and the date of the national chain-
pionshipe. They ore all located in this
district with one exception. and no
doubt if a tryout was held to pick
a team composed of track athletes
there would be many other-e who could
qualify.
Jake Driscoll. the Boston quarter-
miler. is the only athlete of the group
outside of the metropolitan district.
but he is a crack 'bail player and
would strengthen the tear! consider-
ably He has turned down several
offers from prof slonai clubs to re-
tain his amnteu ending.
Jimmy Connolly. the Georgetown
and former Boston A. A. miler. hopes
to locate hes-e permanently and ex-
pects to decide definitely during the
present week. He is a first class ball
player. having developed into a runner
after having made good as a ball play-
er on the Woburn High School team.
Abe Kiviat has been playing base-
l'Sall evtry. Saturday this season; He
was a star on the urtis High School
team before he ms famous as a
track athlete. He is now the star
first baseman of the Wilco A. A. base-
be.ll nine. which play; in the local in-
dustrial league. Bernie Wafers has
been starring all season on the New
York A. C. baseball team. ‘
If the team is organised the hope
to schedule games with such t I as

Newark A. C. and Montclair A. C.

-No Chance Now of
Demanded by
SHELBY. Hunt. June 29.-—Promo-
tere of the Dempsey-Gibbons fight will
ask the boxers and their managers to
consent to postponement from July
4 to. July 14. it was learned from a
reliable source of information today.
'Confronted with the problem of
raising 8278.000 to-pay Dempsey the
$110,000 still owing on his guarantee.
and meet other indebtedness. the pro-
moters seek more time in which to dig
up the- money.
Given a tend-day stay. they believe
they can scrape together enough cash
for Dempsey by July s. and in the
remaining extra time can boom the
ticket sale to raise the rest of the
sum.
Consent of Jack Kearns and Eddie
Kane. managers of the chmap and the
challenger. will be necessary before
there can be a postponemen, as the
contract calls for the bent on July 4.
Neither Kearns nor Kane was ready
to discuss the postponement until the
subject had been officially presented.
The promoters feel the bout canbe
saved if the delay is granted. Another
advantage would be that the ten days
{would give time for the roads leading
into Shelby to dry out. They have
been made impassable by recent rains.
Following the resignation of Dan
Tracy. Great Falls. man. who was
named as the representative of sQral
creditors. nayotr Jim Johnson was
back in the saddle as the big boss of
the fight.
"I have 8800.000 worth of unen-
cumbered property and with this back

put up too much in this not to go
