Golden Bear Wins at Poughkeepsie by Ten-foot Margin WEST'S CHEWS IES Washington Huskies Take ' Junior Varsity and Freshman Races - By ALAN GOULD POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 18 (Pi By the slender margin of three-fifths of a second, a scant ten feet of deck-length, the Uni versity of California's brawny Golden Bears stood off Cornell's great closing challenge this ev ening and captured one of the most thrilling four-mile varsity races ever rowed on the Hudson river. California's third successive tri umph inthe big race completed the first far western sweep in the history of the intercollegiate championship regatta. The Uni versity of Washington scored de cisive victories in both the fresh men two-mile and the Junior var sity three-mile races. Pnrnpll hhvpiI thp rppatta f rnm being a complete rout of the east ern "old gnard" by fighting it out with the highly-favored Califor nians throughout the last mile. Finishing second in a race so close that it first looked as though the Ithacans had won, only to have the official stop watches register California's nar row, margin of victory, Cornell left Washington's varsity strug gling two lengths behind, in third place. Next in .order across the finish were Navy, Syracuse,. Penn sylvania and Columbia. Washington and California fin ished one-two in the freshman race. After the Huskies from the Pacific northwest captured the "jayvee" race with an all-sophomore crew, the same boatload that was victorious as a freshman unit4ast year, they faced a great chance to make it three in a row. The unprecedented appeared to be in Washington's grasp as its var sity eight showed the way for upwards of two miles but the Huskies couldn't keep it up! The closest that the far west ern oarsmen had come previous ly to taking all three races was in 1926. Washington captured the junior varsity and varsity events that year while California was runner-up to Columbia's fresh men. Since 1914. when the "ja vee" race was added to the regat ta, no college has ever scored a clean sweep. Rowed under rainy, chilly wea ther conditions, the regatta was witnessed by the smallest crowd In any year since the war. Scarce ly 20,000 looked on from shores, boats and a 16-car observation train .but the finish gave them something to cheer about, even though the outcome of the varsity race was a blow to the big cheer ing section that had its hopes of a Cornell triumph lifted high by the gallant closing bid of the sturdy Ithacans.

However, last year the great Whitney rider failed to show his usual stuff, and turf railbirds began to insinuate that Sonny was slip ping. They said that Workman was getting old; that his riding days were numbered. He was supposed to be troubled with increasing weight, and his habits of getting into trouble with the officials made Another Meanie, Powers, is Victim of Elliott's Speed; Kunkle and Rob Roy Win "Dishface" Powers, barrel chested ring dynamo from Van couver, B.

Eugene limb twis ter, before a large and enthusias tic cr.owd. ' Powers, the aggressor through out, when not calling upon every trick in the books, relied upon rough and tumble fighting. As he mixed wildly with Elliot, he amused a hostile audience with a running fire of gestures and ver bal outbursts. During several flur ries he punched it out with Ref eree Noel Franklin. The Canadian bomber took El liott's measure during the first ten minutes' scuffling, mixing flying wristlocks with spectacular aerial headlocks. The Eugene fa vorite evened the count with crashing sonnenberg butts, slam ming the "playboy"' out of the roped arena onto the ringside boards. In the deciding melee both boys opened up, hurling each other all over the mat.

The veteran Whitney star has crossed up all the wise birds, how ever, for this season he has been flashing all his old riding skill. Re cently, at Belmont Park, he scored three double victories in a row, and at the present writing he has al ready just about equalled his entire 1934 winning total of 74 victories. At his present rate, Sonny is sure to be batting it out with the leading jockeys at the end of the current riding campaign, and it would be no surprise to see him fin ish on top among the regular riders without apprentice "bugs." threw everything but the rafters at his opponent, but failed to connect. The wrought-up Elliott finally finished the battle by put ting Powers out of commission with a series of resounding body slams, culminating in a spectacu lar airplane spin. Wrestling fiercely in the 45 minute special event, Del Kunkle, Salt Lake, smashed Ray Lam phers, Sacramento fighter, to the mat with a ripping uppercut to the Jaw. The boys traded falls during the first 20 minutes of the match, then battled In whirl wind fashion for the final advant age. In a flurry of fisticuffs Kun kle exploded like a firecracker and stowed the Californian away with a haymaker to the button. Referee Franklin then roughed the hapless Mr. Lamphe?s around for an additional 30 seconds to the merriment of the. ringsiders. Rob Roy, buzzsaw from the Michigan woods, turned the tables on Young Tarzan to capture the opening bout. Roy absorbed the lion's share of the punishment but was awarded the decision after gaining an, early fall.

The secret of Workman's appar ently successful comeback lies in the fact that this year the skillful little veteran has been paying strict attention to his training. As a result of keeping his nose to the training grindstone, Sonny, in the very pink of physical condition, has come through with colors flying. Workman is a brainer and more experienced rider than most of the other leading jockeys today, and when he is at his bast there is no rider now in the saddle who has a thing on little Sonny.

The Townies have only one de feat against them this season and have been playing tight ball in all their games.

Braddock's new heavy weight title, but he isn't going until every possibility of getting Braddock into a European ring has been exhausted. Although reluctant to do much talking Schmeling pointed out he is under contract to Walter Rathenburg, German promoter, until September 17 and cannot fight under any other auspices until then even if he wanted to. NEW YORK, June 18. -()-Jimmy Johnston, Madison Square Garden matchmaker, who would like to stage a world's heavy weight title fight between Cham pion James J. Braddock and the German Max Schmeling here in September, said tonight there isn't a chance of Braddock going to Europe for his first title de fense. "We've got Braddock signed and that's all there is to it," said Johnston. "Braddock isn't thinking of breaking the contract, nor is Joe Gould, his manager. "Braddock doesn't have to de fend his title until next year un less he wants to, but if we can get Max over here for a Septem ber bout , I believe Gould and Jimmy would agree to it."

LOUIS, June 18-(-Rog-ers Hornsby of the Browns, whose managerial astuteness was under considerable question following recent swaps with other American league clubs, saw himself vindi cated today in the clouting rec ords hung up by two of his late acquisitions outfields Julius Sol ters and Ed Coleman. There were howls aplenty from the home fans when "Trader" Hornsby let Philadelphia have the veteran right hand hurler, George Blaeholder, in exchange for "Su gar" Cain and Coleman. There were still more when the Rajah announced he had boosted the club's financial status by trading Oscar Melillo, star defense second baseman, to. Boston for Solters and an unannounced amount of (cash. The two fielders, however, al most at once ranked at the top of the Brownie batsmen. Their impressive showing on the road and their performance at the plate during their last nine home games has silenced all criticism and pro vided more than a mild headache to their former owners. Waging a friendly duel for team batting honors, the two broke ev en with a .333 'average in their six games here with the league- leading Yankees and three with the sixth place Washington Sen ators.
