Eastern Regatta '
of I. R. A. Becomes
An Open Affair
Board of Stewards Vote to
Extend Invitations to Any
(Tews doming Up to El
igibility Standards.
By iat*»<l Pre**.
New York, Jan. 7.—Taking rank as
more of an open college rowing cham
pionship than ever before, the annual
regatta of the Intercollegiate Rowing
association will be held June 17. on
the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie,
the earliest date set for this blue rib
bon classic in years.
Tills was decided on today by the
board of stewards of the association
who at their annual meeting, voted
to extend Invitations to any crews
coming up to their eligibility stan
dards including Princeton, the Naval
Academy and Universities of Wash
ington and Wisconsin.
The stewards also voted down a
proposal to lengthen the varsity race
from three to four miles, and elected
Maxwell Stevenson of Columbia as
chairman to succeed Mortem (I.
Rogue, who retired as Columbia's re
presentative on the board.
The date for the regatta, Mr. Stev
enson announced, was selected be
cause of the existence of favorable
tidal conditions at that time and not
because of proximity of the final
Olympic tryouts which are scheduled
to be held at Philadelphia, June 13
and 14. Heretofore the race has hern
held late in June, but this year, after
June 17, the next date on which water
conditions would be suitable is July
2. This date, it is felt, would be too
late.
So far as the Olympics are % con
cerned, Mr. Stevenson pointed out
that they had little relation, to the
intercollegiate race Inasmuch as the
Olympic championship distance for
eight-oared shells is only a mile and
a quarter, less than half the distance
of the college classic.
Nevertheless, Washington and
Navy, which finished first and second
respectively, in last year’s intercol
legiate race, plan to enter the Olym
pic trials and if either is successful
it probably will not row at Pough
keepsie.
The four members of the I. R. A —
Cornell. Columbia, Syracuse and
Pennsylvania—all intend to devote
theiA preparations toward the college
race in preference to the Olympic
and the stewards hope to have as
many outside contenders as possible,
particularly Princeton, which has
never rowed at Poughkeepsie. Navy,
AVashington and Wisconsin all have
competed in the event a number of
times hut only the Huskies and Mi l
dies ever were victorious.

EW YORK, .Tan. 7.
—The duel fnr the
dollar, between the
the N e w York
Giants and the
Cincinnati Reds,
for a pre-season
clutch on the Na
tional league pen
nant, will be eon
unum Ai'riiaw
by the purchase of
two more minor
league pitchers,
of more than or
> dinary repute.
\ They will come
■* from the Anteri
ran association ana me I'aciuc c oast
league respectively, but their identity
Is withheld for no other reason than
to prevent other clubs from entering
tile competition.
This is MrGrnw’s reply to Pat
Maron's ilollar-waving campaign in
the general direction of all minor
league club owners, a campaign that
lias seen the Iteds line up Tom
Sheehan of SI. Paul, said jn he the
best pitelier ill the American asso-.
elation last season, and .lake May,
(lie Vernon left-hander, for whom,
the Yaiikcw angled in vain.
Only a few days ago, McGraw gave
$50,000 and several ball players for
Wayland Dean, Louisville pitcher, lie
did not desire Wayland very much,
but really had his hand forced by the
fact that the Iteds were hot after him.
With the best pitching staff in the
National league—Luque, Rlxey, Don
ahue and Renton—the Reds have add
ed May, Sheehan and Carl Mays, for
mer Yankee, and Mcflraw saw a vision
of the 1924 pennant fluttering in
Cincinnati unless he claimed Dean as
his own.
Meantime, the Pittsburgh Pirates,
the third of three possible contend
ers, are doing nothing.
They seem to have stepped aside
ill favor of the Giants and Reds as
contenders for tlie 1921 pennant.
Bryan Discharges
Woman Registrar
Lincoln, Jan. 7.—Miss May F. Hy
land, appointee to the1 position of re
gistrar of vital statistics under the
previous state administration, is no
longer on the state payroll. After
she had not appeared in her office for
some time, newspaper men today ask
ed Governor Bryan if she had been
discharged in line with his policy of 1
economy in the code departments. :
Her position had been eliminated, he •'
said.

North Platte, Neb.. Jan. 7.—Fire

So one of onr talented young up
starts has come abreast of one of
the immortals. Rogers Hornsby has
tied Ilonus Wagner's four consecu
tive iiatting championships. Hornsby
lias tied AVagner in this respect, but
the Cardinal crack Isn't exactly an
immortal yet.
AA'agner led the National league
nine times liefore ho threw his glove
In the hamper for good. That's five
mori targets for Mr. Hornsby to per
forate before he can stand before the
Flying Dutchman, John McGraw's
choic e as the greatest of players.
And Ty Cobb has scissored out
ample employment for Mr. Hornsby's
slugging moments. Cobb led the
American league twelve times, nine
of them being successive champion
ships! I doubt that Hornsby will ever
see 12 championships, let alone five
more successive hatting blue ribbons.
| He doesn't strike me as another Wag
rier or Cobb, good as he is.
However, the modernists are cut
ting in on the old masters with no
little success lately. Babe Ruth's 59
homers in 1921 smashed nil long dis
tance banging since statisticians be
gan to unearth and to preserve rec
ords.
George Klsler came near booking
another one for the current run of
diamond stars. But the fates relented
and permitted the one and only “Wee
Willie’’ Keeler to still reign In the
hitting ' safely In consecutive game*.
Keeler made his mark—54—In 1897.
Sislcr put over 41, topping Cobb s 40.
Twenty six years Is a long, w hile to
shoot at that mark. But then 44
games Is a long stretch of games to
bat safely in!
Perhaps the greatest feat of the
modernists in recent years was the
hurdle record established (ids year by
Charlie Brookins, the wonderful Iowa
university star. Brookins managed to
break Kraenzlin's 220-yard low hurdle
record, a mark that has resisted the
efforts of our best athletes for 21
years. Kraenzlin's lime was 23 3-5
seconds.
Brookins clipped a fifth of a sec
ond front it. Think of the thousands
of hurdlers who have topped the ob
stacles In a quarter of a century and
you will realize the immensity of
Brookins' a- complishment. That is the
only way you can visualize It.
Now that skating holds the sport
public s attention, it is interesting to
remark that the younger generation
is having plenty of trouble erasing
old time record exploit*.
Joe IJonohue lias passed away, but
Newbury folks will never let Joe's
memory wither. They talk about him
today as if Joe were entered in one

we are not mistaken.
Donohue's name still holds practi

The records wcrtv established exactly
30 years ago at Stamford. Conn. All
were made In competition, in 100-mile

have it.
John L. Sullivan seems to have the

something like 78 battles. He won 6-1

Jack Rabbits to

Brookings, S. D., .Inn. T.—Two of

'oneh West’s men on the home floor
next Friday and Saturday. January

if the strongest team.- in ji-ars from

Arnold, Duncan. Blakely. lturn

Northerners have really a team to be
proud of.
Last year State broke even with
the Aggies, each team winning one
same. This year these teams will
play four games and each is eager
to win them all.
The North state team has just re
turned from a succi fuI invasion of

From all indications, the coming
