COURTNEY CONFIDENT OF HIS SUCCESS Ten Eyck Thinks drracnae Will Lead, but the Ktonlar Ones Asaticn Him So Better Than Secnd. NEW TOUK. June 11. A the dates for the big: college regattas approach, every thing la activity In the rowing quarters of the oar-wleldlng universities. Already Poughkeepsie, the scene of the Intercolle giate Rowing association's regatta Is com mencing to show signs of Its annual colle gia to activity for Red Top, the yearly home at the Columbia crews, has been occupied for several weeks and other headquarters are showing similar signs of life. Will It be Courtney, Ward. O'Dea, Dcmp eey,' Ten Eyck or Goodwin at Poughkeepsie in the big Intercollegiate rowing race on June 2ST Will Syracuse again catch the others napping and curry away the honors of the day? Or will it be Just cne, two and three for the veteran Saratoga Springs culler and his band of sturdy athletes of the hill at IthacaT These are among the many questions heard these days whenever college oarsman gathers with one of his clan. What may look unusually bright on puper does not always follow In boat race practice, and realizing the fallibility of the average college stroke, : there are many who believe that the coming 'varsity race under the Storm King bridge Is likely to prove a pretty even event. It It should, both Ten Eyck and Courtney will be great ly surprised, for each honestly believes .that he has the winning crew. "We will do the trick again." Ten Eyck recently told a friend. "Don't forget what your father says: Syracuse first, Cornell stecond." "A race Is never won until the drop of SIP Wins The Bitters has proven so conclusively the many claims made for it that many prominent physicians prescribe it to their patients in cases of Poor Appetite, Sleeplessness, Headache, Bloat' in;. Belching, Costiveness, Indirection. Dyspepsia or Fe male Complaints. Their ex. ample is a good one to follow. the flag, but if Syracuse or any other eight beats my bpys at Poughkeepsie the winner will be a dickens of a fast .crew," Is the way Charles Courtney put It the other day. Baata for Coortney'a Hope. Courtney as a general thing does not boast before or after a race, but those who witnessed the magnificent exhibition of watermanship on the part of the Cornell 'varsity crew at Cambridge a week ago when the Harvard university eight was beaten after a plucky race, can but feel that If Courtney has any more at home like that crew a great deal of time and money might be saved by turning over the three prises to Cornell at once. It Is no be trayal of confidence to say that In the Judg ment of "the silent man," Cornell has this year a 'varsity crew 25 per cent better than the crack crew of two years ago, and fully twice as good as the crew which the uni versity sent to Henley for the Grand Chal lenge cup In 1S95. Cornell was defeated last year by Syracuse on her merits. It was no re flection on the Courtney stroke, as his close friends well know. Publicly It was supposed that his system of locomotion as applied to sweeps was Inferior to that of James Ten Eyck, but the Inside of the thing, now told for the first time, was this: Six members of Cornell's 'varsity crew tried to run "the old man." These six youths had what may be called In the vernacular swelled heads. They figured It out In their own peculiar way that they were the whole university crew, Courtney and all. When he supposed that they were honestly observing the rules of training as laid down by him they were undoing all that he had ever done for them. They secretly smiled owr his discipline, obeyed him when observed and disobeyed him at every opportunity Courtney 'earned all this when it was too late to remedy matters, and the morn ing of the race he called three members of tho "varsity crew and four members of the freshmen eight aside on the club house float and said to them: "Tou chaps are going to lose today and I'm damned glad of It." It was a long sentence for Courtney to speak, and It was doubly appalling to the young men, because the coach never swears except under the most trying cir cumstances. It struck terror Into th hearts of the seven, and one of them said that he would remember the white face of the old coach and the single expression of condemnation until "my dying day." But the whole thing taught Courtney a lesson the same as Henley did, and as long ki he remains alive and a coach It Is safe to say that never again will he accept as gospel truth the assurance of any crew that It Is "obeying orders." Ten Eyck'a Chance. ' An expert who has seen the 'varsltv crew of Syracuse and who served on a committee in connection with the last In. tercolleglate race Is authority for the statement that the boys from the City of Salt are not nearly as good as the crew wnicn represented the university last year. Assuming though that this year's 'varsity crew of Syracuse Is as ond Its predecessor of last season It Is not B0.K1 enougn to heat Cornell this time. assuming also that there be no accident and that none of the Cornelllans goes wrong, he says. If Courtney were a gambling man he might have worked things differently on the Charles river recently. He might have cent out his freshmen and 'varsity crews with In. structlons not to show too much, and thus keep some of the following of the other crews guessing about the big race at Poughkeesple. But Courtney Is not a gambler, and as a result the first crew of Cornell defeated the best crew of Har. vard la cruel style, and the Cornell junior went over the American Henley course at Philadelphia in the record time of six minutes and thirty-four seconds, beating Yale, which was second, and the University of Pennsylvania, which was third. In a word then It strikes an Impartial observer who has watched the advance ment of all of the crews with the excep tion of Wisconsin that if Cornell does not regain the Seaman Challenge cup and the Steward' cup this time with the four oared event thrown In as good measure, no dependence is to be placed upon the blending of superior forces as applied to the stroke or to the perfection of muscular development as shown by the Cornell rep resentatives. The man who puts up his money on any crew but Cornell this time Is either a partisan or the possessor of some knowledge not known to the ordinary observer. Pennsylvania a Long; Shot. The chances ot Pennsylvania In either the 'varsity or the freshman race are about one In six. The Quaker City university finished third In all three races last year, a performance that she la unlikely to re peat this time. Wisconsin had a mediocre varsity crew last June, and finished last In the race and next to last In the 'varsity fours. The Badgers did not have any crew in the freshman hunt last time. The crew had trouble about a launch last time and Coach Andy O'Dea was unable to fol low the men about and give them the finishing touches always so important In a college rowing race. This year things will be different from the western string of oarsmen. The men are said to be bet ter than those of last year and besides they will have all or nearly all the ad vantages of their rivals In the matter of attendance. Although much about the crews of Wisconsin is not known, sufficient knowledge has been had to warrant the prediction that they w:lll not be the last In any race In which they start and this statement is one which the University of Pennsylvania may paste In Its figurative hat for future reference. Unless Columbia's blades Improve at a clipping pace the Blue and the White need not be regarded as formidable to any of the leading crews on the Hudson. The spectacle of eight healthy youths being unable to get the average college speed out of a shell mean one thing only. The method of propulsion must be wrong. This is undeniably the trouble with the first crew of jlornlrigslde Heights. CONEY MARES NEW RECORD TOGA WILL. TRY FOR MA3AWA CIP St. Joseph Yachtsmen Choose Their Challenger at Last. Instead of sending two boats to Council Bluffs, as first contemplated by the Lotus Yacht club of St. Joxeph, they will send only one, the Toga. Tills boat, in the final trials, proved Its superiority over the Con trary, beyond question, and in last Satur day's race, over a windward course, beat It by fifty-eight seconds, and tho Lotus of last year by six minutes. Now, while the Argo of the Council Bluffs club did not defeat the Lotus in any race lata year by so wide a margin, and the Prlsctlla seems inly a little faster than the Argo, still one must not draw a positive con clusion from this that the Toga will be an easy winner. In yachting, unlike horse racing. It I un safe to compare the merits of two con testant by Judging from the time In which they both covered a given distance. Un less two boats are racing togrther and over the same course, time counts for lit tle, and the Idea of positively comparing the Toga with the Prlscilla, based upon re sults from their racing with the Lotus and Argo respectively. Is rather amusing. That nothing at all can be gathered from such comparisons, however, is Just as amusing, and it Is realised that the Toga, this week, will make the defender work hard to hold Its own, or best It. The Tog has been thoroughly overhauled and will be shipped from St. Joe Monday morning. It crew of Captain Charles Hob bins, J. H. Van Brunt (owner, Lout Oold Ing and John Moras, wlli follow th beat Captain Dnnn'i Black Gelding Faces Half Mile in 1:03 Flat SHOWS UP IN PINK OF CONDITION Good Crowd and Ideal Day Character, iae the Fortnightly Vlatlnee ot Omaha Driving: Clnb at Spragvne Street. The track record In names was shat tered to little bits by Captain Henry W. Dunn's famous black gelding. Coney, at the Omaha Driving club's matinee at the Sprague street park yesterday afternoon. The magnificent pacer reeled off the half without a break or a quiver In 1:03 flat, or 1 seconds better than the best previous record! made by Annawlll. Fred Paffenrath drove the record-breaker about whom the sporting page were filled when he paced the three fastest consecu tive heats ever In a race In California. After that Coney, for some reason or another, had a sharp decline, but It would seem as If Captain Dunn, has got the splendid animal back Into the perfection of form again. When the black picked Its way down In front of the grandstand no one looked to see the record even approached, al though In warming up Coney never once slipped his stride. Paffenrath scored only once and then sent the pacer down from the quarter, everything- working like a well-oiled machine. It was the same way clear round the bright, un-gllnted track. At the quarter the runner which was to pace Coney to the wire failed to get In the lead and never caught up. The first quarter wa done In 31 sec onds and the second In 32, but the watch of one timer caught 2 and another 2. Leaving all doubt aside, however, the half wa paced In 1:03 flat, or the best ever seen at the Sprague street park, or In Omaha for that matter. The perform ance came after the races and was all the more startling because not anticipated. A fair crowd- turned out to the fort nightly matinee; the weather wa Ideal and an orchestra discoursed music, but for one reason or another horses were shy. There were only three races and no more than two heats 'were required to decide them. In the first number, a mixed class, T. C. Byrne's trotter. Cricket, gave J. S. Iman's big brown gelding, P.oy F, an ex tremely close shave, but didn't quite make It, only giving the finish of both heats an exciting tinge. W. C. Russell' sorrell mare, Poverty, behaved very badly and wa a poor third. Itena Wilkes Ha Walkaway. Rena Wtlkea. the gray filly owned by Floyd Campbell, had everything her own way In the class B pacing. George Brew er' Dandy Joe wa In the race part of the way, but on the home stretch didn't come anywhere , near the front. Ed Detrtch' Eddie D hardly cut any figure to speak of.

June 17-The Vesper Boat club of Philadelphia has sailed for England on the steamship Pennsylvania to participate In the Henley regatta. They will arrive In time for a week's practice on the Thames. JameB B. Juvenal, who once rowed In the Diamond Sculls race at Henley, Joined the Vesper Boat club's Henley crew, and has gone with the squad to England. Ho has al ways been regarded as a member of the squad, as he was among the original en tries. By the addition of Juvenal the squad will now number fourteen men, who will invade England, and the rowing men's superstition regarding the number thirteen has been dispelled. The ten sweep oarsmen who now com prise the squad are all seasoned athletes. Vlth perhaps the exception of Glenson, No.. 2, and Williams, No. 5. who are a trltle fine, the men are In perfect conditions physi cally, and If they get accustomed to the Thames climate should give a good account of themselves. The addition of Juvenal further strengthens a combination which will prove most formidable to the England rowing clubs. As arranged by the com mittee the following squad boarded the steamer Pennsylvania last Saturdav: John Ogden Exley, Charles Ewlng Armstrong, Henry H. Loot, James S. Flanagan. James B. Juvenal, Frank A. Schell, Daniel M. Gleason, Roscoe C. Lockwood. Korrls L. Williams and T. Robert Johnson, compris ing the crew and spare men: Lewis C. Abell and Robert C. Ayres, coxswains; President Oscar Horn, manager of tho crew, and Joseph Dempsey, assistant. In accordance with the rules of the Eng lish Henley stewards Coach Jnmes Demp sey gave up his work with the oarsmen some time before their departure. The rules provide that no foreign crew can compete at Henley if It has been coached by a professional coach within one month of the time it rows at Henley. The Ves pers purpose to obey the rules to the let ter. For this reason they will profit by the experience of the University of Penn sylvania, which competed at Henley In 1901, and will make no effort to conceal their times while practicing on the Henley course. In fact, they will row In the open at all times. It wns because the Pennsyl vania kept to themselves so much that they were criticised by English rowing critic and officials. PLANS FOR THE AMERICAN HENLEY Steward Hope to Get College Eights Their Race. NEW TORK, June 17. The stewards' of the "American Henley" regatta are at work upon plans for next year's . races, which they hope will be better than ever before. The stewards have received assur ances from Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Georgetown to be repre sented next year. The last two colleges did not have crews there this year, but they say they will surely be on hand In 1906. In view of Cornell' objections to competing In a regatta In which other than college crews were represented the stewards are awaiting with much Interest the decision of the Jthacann. In addition to the above colleges It Is bolleved that Co lumbia will compete. for the first time In 190B. The only thin now worrying the stew ards Is the Junior college race. Tills event was originally arranged Irrespective of the "American Henley," but was merged In order that a larger attendance might be secured for the Henley regatta. In accord ance with the orlKlnal agreement, Cornell will bold a Junior college regatta at Ithaca next year to which Pennsylvania nas agreed to send a crew. Tills will nut change the plans of the stewards In- ar ranging for the Junior college race on th Schuylkill. The Cornell regatta Is to he nlor college race on the held on Memorial day. which In 1 will come on Wednesday. The date for the American Henley has now become a fix ture and will be the Saturday before Me morial day. This will give the various college crews plenty of time to compete at both the, American Henley and the Cor nell regatta! If they so desire. The Henley stewards have not yet aban doned their hope of getting the 'varsity eights of some of these colleges to com pete. One of the ultimate hopes Is to bring the Poughkeepsie and New London crews together In one regatta. They realise that this will take time, but as soon as the op posing colleges are brought together In a Junior college race they think It will he only a aueation of Uorl Um until lh 'varsity oarsmen will be pitted against each other in similar races. The stewards realize that this may mean but the changing of the date for the big regatta, but they are willing to concede anything to win out with their pet project. In order that there may he no miscarriage of their plans the stewards are enlisting the support of reprenentutlve oarsmen in all of the leading universities. The two men who are most active In the plans are Julian t'urtl.ss of Yale and William I. Forbes of the University of Pennsylvania. The stewards also have representatives from Harvard and hope to have Cornell represented on the board once more. Cor nell was one of the organizers of the American Henley project, but has neglected to have a representative on the board of stewards for tho last two years. Another project of the stewards Is the development of schoolboy rowing. At pres ent they are the' only ones who encourage this feature of rowing. This year there were three school crews represented In the regatta. The Stone school crew of Boston won the Franklin cup offered for this event, defeating the Central High and Central Manual school crews of this city. Next year an effort will he made to bring to gether all the school crews In the east. The stewards Insist that the surest way to build up rowing among the college men is to furnish every Incentive to rowing In the high schools and academies. ST. I. OlIS BOOKMAKER ARRESTED Sheriff Will Test Legality of Scheme tor Evading; Anti-netting Law. ST. LOUIS. June 17. Immediately after tho sixtli race at Delmar today Deputy Sheriff Campbell arrested George Etllch In the old betting ring on a charge of viola ting he antl-bettlng law, which went Into effect laf midnight. Erllch Is well known In local racing circles, having made books at the meets conducted under the Breeders' law, the stutute authorizing the selling of pools in certain enclosures and which was repealed at the loat session of the legisla ture. Krllch was taken to the office of Justice of the Peace Stoble at Wellslon, St. iouls county, whero bond in the sum of Jl.iiOO was given tor .rncii s appearance in conn next Tuesnay. The Delmar race tracK is located on notn sliles of the citv limits, the back stretch being within the Jurisdiction of the city and the grar.ostann, paouoca miu sjihch use,, formerly as the hotting ring within the Jurisdiction of St. Louis county.

It Is much the same system as that In use on the eastern race tracks, no pool tickets being Issued ana an Deis oemg Identified by numbers Instead of the name of the horses. Before making the arrest Deputy Sheriff Campbell stated that ho made three wagers with Erllch or the latter's representative. Sheriff Campbell says that the money for his wager on the sixth race was accepted personally by Erllch and that he then made the arrest.
