A four-oared shell, in which two world's rowing championships and a number of national championships were won. has Just been presented to the Philadelphia Barge club by Ellis K. Ward, former rowing coach, of the University of Pennsylvania. Built in 1869. the thin cedar craft liad been In continuous use up until two years ago and is still in good condition and. though a little narrow, lias been used as a model by boat builders in this country for years. It Is 42 feet long. Originally the shell was built for an English crew, the Renforths, who rowed against the Paris crew of St. John. New Brunswick, for the world's championship. This was the first race In which the shell was used and the English crew won. The boat was named the "Dunstan-on-Tyne." Shortly afterward the shell was purchased by the mayor of Pittsburg as a souvenir. In 1871 another match race was ar ranged for the championship of the world, to he held at Saratoga lake. Ellis Ward and his three brothers had gained the reputation of being the best American blade wielders. but were without a shell. They ordered a new hoat from Robert Jewett of England, who built the "Dunstan-on-Tyne." but he disappointed them. Shortly afterward they received a telegram from the mayor of Pitts burg, offering to sell them the "Dun- Btan-on-Tyne. The Wards accepted, They found the boat narrow and hard to "set up." but they soon mastered it. The race was rowed over & four mile course and the Wards won, set ting a new record of 24 minutes, 40 seconds, which still stands.

Jeffries, for mer heavyweight title holder, recent ly staged unofficial "comebacks" at veterans' boxing show at Vernon, near here. The fighters, most of whom are veterans of the days of 40-round events, included Ad Wolgast, "Spike' Robinson, Willie Ritchie, Tommy Ry an, Billie Papke, Leach Cross, Kid Mc Coy, Dick Hyland. Frankie Neil an Jimmy Brltt. The show was arranged by the Los Angeles Express and .the Elks' lodge to raise funds for entertaining Elks from all parts of the country when they attend the anual convention her next July. The oldest "old timer" on the bill was Tommy Ryan, also known as Jo seph Young, former middleweight champion, who in 18SS knocked ou Mark Shaughnessy in Detroit in 23 rounds and In 1891 at Minneapolis knocked out Danny Needham In 46 rounds. Tommy is 51 years of age and retired. Next in age was Charles Walter (Spike) Robinson, who helped make rung history a quarter of a century ago fighting Terry McGovern, Jim Driscoll and others of lightweight fame. "Spike" is billed to meet Willie Ritchie, former lightweight champion who since leaving the ring has been In the automobile business. Robinson is 48. Among others on the bill were Ad Wolgast, the "Michigan wildcat," who once was lightweight champion and who conquered the mighty Battling Nelson in 40 rounds. Billy Papke, an other who appeared, was middleweight title holder at one time. His big fight was at Naud Junction, where he knocked out Stanley Ketchel. Leach Cross, a dentist and physical education director who took part, is hardly an old timer, as he recently re-entered the ring after two years in retirement. Cross is 35 years old and lives here. . Wolgast, who is 33 years old, Is liv ing at Venice, near here. "Spike' RoTblnson is at Hollywood, a suburb. where he is in the motion picture in dustry. Papke, now 34, is an orange grower. Dick Hyland is a i resno, Cal., fireman. Frankie Neil is work in for the government in San Fran cisco, and Jeffries, aged 46, is on his ranch not far from here. Frank (Foghorn) Cook, whose hat and cane and boutonniere are known to thousands of old timers of Naud Junction, was the announcer, and Jack Root, former middleweight bat tler and now motion picture theater owner, the referee.

A remarkable aciioa picture of $ Jones er the Tigcru im action. 4 Sport News and Comment Boyden won the state half-mtte cham pionship a week ago In the remarkable guod time for a high school boy of 1 minute 59 1-5 seconds. Boyden has natural speed, a good running: peneralahlp head, but plenty to learn on "form." Under a competent coach, with his form faults corrected, there is no reason why he should rot be heard from. Without doubt the greatest school boy the coast ever saw was Windnagrle of Washington high school, Portland. He later became one of the most famous half and mile runners of the country and competed for Cornell. Wlnd nagle still holds the coast lnterscholastfc record of 1 .minute $6 4-5 seconds, made at Portland in May, 1912. That is a mark for Boyden to keep In mind and with his natural ability and coaching during the next two years it is possible that In the season of 23 he may take WIndnagle's record off the books if the Vallejo lad is tiU In high school. . Kerr, a miler from the Huntington Beach high school of southern California, Is another scholastic star with a future. He won his mile last week in 4 minutes 30 2-5 seconds. Going some for a kid, and the time stands out all the more prominently DKause Kerr finished alone, the other competitors being nothing better than in the "also ran" class. Kerr reminds one somewhat of that other southern Cali fornia mller of former days, young Berry of Kedlands hirh -school. Berry holds the roast interacholastic record with 4 minutes 26 2-5 seconds, made at Stanford varsity track March 2, 1914. All In all the type of scholastic stars who performed at the California state championships last week are the best look ing lot or scholastic timber in a long time. Besides Boyden of Vallejo and Kerr of Huntinsrton Beach there was another real f ar in Houston of Lincoln high, Lincoln, Cal., who went over the hurdles in a finished style. He is fast as is evidenced hy his 23 2-5 seconds In the low sticks which breaks the former record of the particular league he competed in. His time. However, is not as goo a as tne coasi record of 25 1-5, made by Whitted of Citrus Union high school, June 9, 1912. Stil! another genuine star Is Houser, the ivfiKht and discus thrower that Oxnard high school entered. Houser threw the discus 135 feet H inch which broke the league record, but is not as good as his own coast record of 137 feet 2 3-18 inches, made at Los Angeles two weeks previously. The world's interscholastic discus record Is 130 feet 54 Inches, by Byrd of Cham- nign high. Champaign. III., made in llu. There Is every reason to believe that Houser will reak this record as he ati-l has two years in nirrn iwiooj. -nouser in cidentally holds the world's outdoor 12- pound shot put record with 53 feet 24 Inches. The world's best for a school boy in this event is 55 feet 9 iuciies. mado At Racers Said to Be Confident of Own Ability, bnt Doubtful of "Other Fellow." BY MALCOLM MacLEAX. CHICAGO. May 14. (Special.) Whenever news of reckless automo bile driving appears in the news papers, ending in accidents and deaths, one can't help thinking' how carefully the "daredevils" of the race tracks act while on city streets and country roads. Barney Oldfield, noted for nearly two decades as one of the speed kings, is one of the most 'nervous men in the world driving for pleasure. tie takes any number of chances on the track, but goes almost at a snail's pace on a street. The reason for this Is that Barney knows, better than most people, the danger of speeding even a little bit. He knows what he himself can do with a car, but isn't sOcertain of "the other fellow." Twenty-five miles an hour on a California country road, where 30 is allowed by law, and a few more miles than that frequently made. Is Barney's limit. Moreover, he doesn't like the experience of riding in an automo bile when somebody else is driving. ' Another of the moet careful drivers when in a passenger car is Ralph DePalma, one of -the greatest race men the world has ever known. Twice winner of the Vanderbilt cup, once of the Indianapolis speedway classic, holder of many records, Ralph pilots a car mighty carefully when on pleasure, bent, far more cautiously than the average run of folks. Colleges of the caliber of Holy Cross, Georgetown, Fordham and Notre Dame have frequently sent ball players straight from the campus to the major leagues, but never in his tory has an educational institution "graduated" three from a single team. Last season the University of Ala bama had a great nine, its infield being especially classy. Two of them. Sewell and Stephenson, are today playing shortstop and second base, respectively, for the Cleveland world champions, and Pratt, a third Backer, and relative to the famous second baseman of the same name, is with the White Sox. When the Indians recently played the Hose in Chicago, movie men came from far and wide to snap reels of Sewell,' Stephenson and- Pratt with their arms about each others' shoulders. Del Pratt, the veteran, also came from Alabama, where he not only was a noted ball player, - but a football backfield star of unusual brilliance. Manager Mitchell of the Boston Braves once made the statement that a great football warrior rarely made a good major leaguer. He is right in the cases of Jim Thorpe, George Cap- ron, one time Gopher quarterback; Pie Way, Yale star; Shorty Des Jar dien, Maroon center, and many others who have tried but were unable to make the grade. A few examples, like that of Del Pratt, could be quoted, however, to indicate that Fred Mitchell's state ment is not true in all cases. Christy Mathewson was a star full back for Bucknell college in the long ago; Dick Hoblitzel, ex-star first baseman, was a marvelous goal kicker with Marietta college; Greasy Neale earned his nickname because of the slippery fashion in which he eluded tacklers; Davey Robertson of the Cubs was a mighty halfback for North Carolina state; Frisch, infield sensation of the Giants, was named on Walter Camp's second Ali-Ameri-can eleven while he was at Fordham, and Orval Overall, ex-Cub twirler, was the best football player the Uni versity of California ever had. Many more instances could be quoted, but these few will indicate that because an athlete is a star in one sport he isn't necessarily barred from being: a top-notcher in another.
