Y., June 26. W) It probably comes as no surprise to you to learn that, for competitive thrills, the an nual intercollegiate regatta packs about as much punch these days as target practice at the Empire State building with over-ripe tomatoes as ammuni tion. With rowing as major in dustry of the far west, probably second only to making movies, It s getting so you know before hand It'll be either Washington or California In a breeze. And when the Huskies of Washing ton rowed off and hid from the others along about dusk last evening, it was about as aston ishing as finding a knife, fork and spoon at your place when you sit down to dinner. With California bouncing In with the Junior varsity affair this year, the east's only con solation was Cornell's triumph In the freshman two miles. And this was accomplished probably only because the Huskies and the Bears didn't bring freshmen boatloads with them. At the finish the Huskies were more excited about what was coming up for dinner than they were about the win. They rowed over to the sun-steaming Judges' boat and only wanted to know what their time was. Just for the record, it was 18 minutes, 53.3 seconds. Back of the two far western craft came, in order, Cornell, Syracuse, Princeton, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Massachusetts Tech, and hard luck Columbia, whose No. 2 man, Gene Remmer, suf fered a cramp at about the half way mark. FLY POLE The landing of a 22-pound Chinook salmon with a light fly pole Is the proud record of Mrs. Harry Goold of 038 Whitman avenue, who, with her husband. were guests at T. V. Scott's sportsmen's lodge at Gold Beach arly this week. Mrs. Goold, after accepting a challenge from her husband to an angling duel at the mouth of the Rogue river Tuesday morning, took Mr. Goold's fav orite fly rod and proceeded to. catch the salmon in less than 30 minutes. In the meantime, Mr. Goold failed to bring up a fish with his regulation heavy tackle, but caught the second salmon some 40 minutes later. T. V. Scott, part owner of the Scott and Pringle Packing com pany near Phoenix, recently opened the lodge at Gold Beach, and Issues regular "tips" on the salmon runs and general fishing conditions. Smithies Scarce Fort Riley, Kas. (U.PJ There wasn't a blacksmith among the thousands of young soldiers In ducted into the army at Fort Riley. But the army has to have horses and horses have to have shoes. So a course for black smiths was started and more than 73 enlisted men were trained for three months In the technique of shoeing horses.

Gitzen on short. Leavens on third and Harold Fawcett, Mick Miller and Billy Plche in the outfield.

W) Ty Cobb may have first blood on Babe Ruth, his fellow baseball hall-of-famer. as far as their "grudge" golf matches are concerned but the latter la biding his time and he doea not expect to be kept waiting over long. "What else can you expect i when you can't sink two-foot putts," Ruth philosophized yes terday when he took a 3 and S drubbing from the Georgia Peach in the first of their char ity exhibition aeries here at Commonwealth. "But watch me take him when we get to Fresh Meadow In Flushing, N. Y., on Friday. There's a course that's built for my game." Cobb, apparently unaccustom ed to playing golf before gal leries as large as 2,000, appear ed dazzled by his triumph. which he gained by wiping out an early two-hole deficit while going on to put together a medal of 81, nine over par, against Ruth's 83. "I never have competed un der such pressure," Cobb ex plained. "During my 24 years in baseball, I never had to bear down as hard as I did to beat the Babe. Well, I've got some thing to tell my children; I fin ally have beaten Ruth at some thing." Scores Yesterday American St. Louis 8, New York 7. Cleveland 2, Boston 7. Chicago 2, Washington 0.
