By Frank G. Menke. , New York, Auk. A western row Ing authority once remarked: ,."A Duluth oarnman can shoot a hell backwards at a faster clip than njr other man can send It forward." " The man from the sunnet region of ; the U. 8. A. probably was carried away a, bit by his enthusiasm over the prowess of the Minntsota Marie wleld ers, but the fact remains that thp Duluth boys are the Kreatest natural oarsmen In the world; that they are the standard by which all others are Judged. The record established during the Past few years by the youths com peting under the colors of the famous Duluth Boat club Is an amazing one: a allowing that ranks beyond that of .'any other strictly amateur rowing or ganization in the world. Her Is Their Record. Competing In the regattas run ; under the auspices -of the Northwest s' ern Rowing- association and the Na ' tlonal Rowing association and pitted against the most skilled oarsmen In the United States, the Inilutii Hoat club crews, since 1311, have achieved the following: Won 48 firsts, eight seconds and one third in T.S stiirt.s. Just once in the five year ftweep did a Duluth shell finish unplaced, although every one of Its boats raded against shells manned by the crack oarsmen of the country. The Duluth sweepers und scullers have established so many records that even the oldest Inhabitants have lost count. They hold almost every time mark in the many diferent j events that constitute a Mr club re f gatta. Tho Immense clubhouse is filled with trophies, und a Duluth oarsmen, when fully bedecked In his I meuais ami riuiams, tases on wie 1 ""parade appearance" of an European field, marshal of "commendable bra- , vary ria ii any wonner mat muutn uars- tnen ' and nerrect oarsmans nm nave . become' synonymous? 'untl Popularised Sowing Game. "' And to Julius II. Barnes, the "Up ton of Rowing," goes the major por tion oi ine iieuii iui uib reiuaiKauie accomplishments of the Duluth blade wielders during the past lo or 20 years. in Dulutb nnd everywhere else where this wealthy grain Importer Is known, he Is hailed as "one of the finest sportsmen In the world" . which he Is. Barnes has been a lover of the row ing game all his life. Hack in 1896, When he was in his early twenties, he pulled the blade In Duluth h original four oared crew; the quartet which first brought oarsman lama, to the Minneapolis town; the "Blg'l-'our" to the finish line In the maloritv of Its races. .' AVbpn liunlne. rnrff)i fnrrA rtnrnoa to abandon active participation in the game, he decided to do all In his power ' to popularize, the rowing. On of Best Exercises. "It la one of the finest sports in f ll unrlil- 1r la a u-nlulal-riil l.mln and body builder for boys," he said. lib 11 I t V7 1117 J ULIIII9 111 I' II I 14 III - A chance to become real oarsmen and to imbibe its benefits." And ao liarnes opened wide his puroo Birmglf miiu Ltru n ixjuill lui rowing which. In the years since then. haa lifted Duluth to the crest of the towing world; which has resulted in . keeping the game all over the United States and making It one of the great est summer sports In America. Backing Barnes in his efforts to lift rowing to the highest possible plane - was the Duluth Hoat club. Barnes, quiet, modest and unassuming, de eleares that the splendid cooperation by the club officials was the prime cause for the great Increase in row- - Ing interest. But the club officials have a different viewpoint. OlT All Credit to Barnes. 'It was Julius H. Barnes who made rowing the great national sport, who :. practically made the Duluth Boat club and who enabled Its crews to 'core so many notable victories," say the officials. "It la true, the Duluth time. It was organised In 1886, wtt'4 1 tnmhr A Inner 11, nnA 07 when Barnes became active In behalf i " e rrwra" t Vi a 1 .

In ten years he spent close to 1 75,000 ?v to help the game. He built new boat houses and hired special coaches to tutor the boys. He saw to It that our oarsmen lacked nothing in equlpme'nt , 4 and preparation. The finest shells ob taxable were not too good for our . - ' boys. In Barnes- opinion. He awak- -; . ened the town to the real sport in rowing and, as a result, our member- ship Increased by leaps and bounds. Today we have an enrollment of some ... thing like 1500 and have a club and v rowing establishment which is ranked aa among the finest in the world. . r And to Julius II. Barnes, that grand aporismen and to no one else goes . ine reai credit. i Lunger Retains His Title. V, ."New York, Aug. 5. Ludy Langer of v.
