For the purpose of selecting repre
sentative junior crews In the fours,
doubles and singles, the Portland Row
ing Club held the initial try-outs of the
season yesterday afternoon over a. mile
course, starting off the head of Ross
Island and finishing opposite the boat
house of the club. Owing to the fact
that a stiff breeze was blowing against
the oarsmen, no attempt at time-keeping
was made, and if any records were
broken the fact is "not known to the
club members. Conditions on the river
were favorable, with the exception of
the wind, and no current especially was
' noticeable.
Owing to the failure of certain can
didates for the doubles to put In an
appearance, the try-out for this event
has been indefinitely postponed. Ac
cording to A. C. McMicken, captain of
the senior four, it is doubtful if an at
tempt will be made to select a repre
sentative crew In the doubles. If a
crew Is chosen from among the juniors
in this class It is not probable that it
will be sent to Seattle June i, and In
this event Portland will fail to have
representation in the doubles at the an
nual regatta of the north Pacific Row
ing Association.
The winning Junior four of yester
day showed considerable speed wbiie
racing in their class, and it is believed
that there will be no changes in the
four between now and the time the
crews leave for the North. The fol
lowing oarsmen compose the victorious
jtiniors: E. Gloss, stroke; G. Sterling,
No. 3: J. Tully. No. 2, and B. Dust bow.
Opposed to this four in yesterday's re
gatta were: E. Hartley, stroke; J. Tuck,
No. 3; W. E. Ball. No. 2. and H. G.
Chickerlng, bow. At the start the two
fours kept well together, and until half
the course had been traversed it looked
as if a close contest was on. Hardly
had the first half of the course been
run, however, when the victors began
creeping ahead. They continued to
gain steadily, and at the finish were
eight lengths ahead of their opponents
The winners were in the new shell,
while tho vanquished had the old four
oared shell. Owing to the fact that
the latter took water easily, It is the
general opinion that if the fours had
reversed shells the finish would have
undoubtedly been much closer.
In the singles there were only three
starters. They were Arthur Allen, A.
Ofaender and Charles Quitsow. The
race was won handily by Allen, with
Ofaender second. Quitsow's shell
tipped with him. taking considerable
water. anAhe failed to finish.
After the fours and the singles had
been pulled oft", a mixed senior four
was picked to row the victorious Jun
iors. This crew was composed of A.
Ofaender. bow; A. C. McMicken, No. 2;
A. Allen, No. 3, and Rex Conant, stroke.
Ofaender, who came in second in the
singles.-was placed in the senior's bow
to fill in, owing to B. E. Lummis' ab
sence. - Lummis is laid up with la
grippe and has not been down on the
river for several weeks. Putting In a
new man made It necessary that the
positions of the senior four be gen
erally changed in yesterday's match.
Captain McMicken was the only oars
man In his regular position of the four.
The seniors iiad no difficulty In coming
In ahead of the Juniors. They finished
at leaBt 10 lengths ahead of their op
ponents, who had partially stopped in
the middle of the course.
The big regatta to which all the
Portland oarsmen arejooktng forward,
is at Seattle, July 3 and 4, when the
best rowing material in the Northwest
will be brought together in competi
tion. July 3 the junior events will be
pulled off, the senior events to take
place the following day.

mer raring season at the Meadows to

other equalled, and four others escaped
being broken only by fractional parts
of seconds. The new record was made in

and Walsh took a first, two seconds and
a third. The weather threatened rain
all the afternoon, but no rain fell. Entre

of the day. and Miss Offcious. of the same
stable was also a winner. Fourteen books

year. Although the favorites were not
good to the bettors, the books were pret
ty hard hit, largely through the play that
centered on Ries' two horses. Right Easy

WILL TEST BETTTING LAW
Coney Island Jockey Club to Fight
Gambler's Case.
NEW YORK. June 20. The Coney
Island Jockey Club is determined to
bring about a judicial interpretation of
the recently enacted anti-bstting law.
This was made apparent today when
counsel for the Jockey Club obtained
from Justice Bisehoft, in . the Supreme
Court, a writ of habeas corpus directing
the Sheriff of Kings County to produce
before Justice BIschofT Melville E. Col
lins, who was yesterday arrested at the
Sheepshead. Bay course, charged with
accepting a wager. When Collins was
produced the hearing was set down for
next Monday.
There was much discussion today of
the restraining order against the police
which was issued by Justice Bischoff
yesterday. Assistant District Attorney
Elder and Deputy Police Commissioner
Baker both declared that the injunction
prohibits no act which the police have
thus far performed in their efforts to
carry out the law. It merely prevents
the police from becoming trespassers and
interfering with patrons of the racetrack
who are doing no wrong.
Governor Hughes is keeping in close
touch with every development of the sit
uation. James JL. Keene today shipped 20 of
his yearling thoroughbreds to England
on the Atlantic transport steamer Me

given a ride and were in the wagon at
the time of the accident. About one and

wheels, and both of them passed over It.
