A ROYAL ROWING FAMILY
-Three Ten Eycks, Father and Sons,
at Poughkeepsie.
OARSMEN OF MANY GENERATIONS
Jim, Sr., nd K. H. Were nivml
Coarbn and Jim, Jr., a Stroke
at the llerent Great
Ilratta.
There wan n unusual grouping of mm
' bcri of the same family In the Inter
colleglnte reg-ntta on the Hudson Inst
m nth. Mames A. Ten Eyck, sr., coached
trM Syracuse university oarsmen. His son.
James A. Ten Eyck, Jr.. stroked the Syra
cuse university eight. Edward Hanlan Ten
F.yck, anothe- ion, wai In chargo of the
V'isionsln crews. Outside of the Waids of
Cornwall there have been few families so
prominent In rowing. The Wards did nut
have so much to do with Intercollegiate
rowing, except that Josh Ward was In
temporary charge of the Pennsylvania
' oarsmen In 1!1, when Ellis, his brother.
whs away at Henloy with the Kcd and Blue
eight In the Koyal regatta.
Jim Ten Kyck, sr., comes of an old Hud
son river rowing family. He Is the typlcul
wiry professional today and still can scull.
I!" Is Ju.it past the middle age, tall and
thin, and Inclined to be grave. Jim, Jr.,
takes after Mr father In that he is In
clined to ho Silent. Uut both men have
their moments of lighter feeling and free
dom of speech. It would be hard to mis
take the younger Jlin for anything but a
Ten Eyck.
Ed Ten Eyck Is different. He 1b even
quieter than his father. Even with those
whom he knows best, the Wisconsin coach
la not likely to be communicative. He has
a certain spirit of optimism In spite of
his settled quiet which Is Very encour
aging to tho men whom he teaches. Ed Is
much fatter than the other Ten Eycks and
the first Impression. Is that he Is likely to
be very Jolly. Ho Is not exactly that, but
has a more sarcastic turn of humor than
generally Is found In the fat man.
The oldest of the Ten Eycks was a fast
nculler In his day. Ho won a great many
good races and was rated as about the best
man of his time. He holds the record still
for the fastest half mile. Ills father be
fore him was an oarsmen, and, If tradition
tells the truth, the grandfather of the
present head of the Ten Eyck family could
pull an oar. In fact, It Is said the ability
goes back for six generations. The present
day rivalry in coaching of the three older
men of the Hudson contingent, Ten Eyck,
Courtney and Ward, rather reflects the
former personal and physical competition
between these men.
Once out of the amateur ranks, many
years ago, Ten Eyck turned to professional
urulllng and then later to coaching boat
club crews. He was first prominently
Identified with rowing In an Institution of
the university rank when he was at the
' TJaval academy, In 1900, 1!MU and 1902.
Rtrungcly enough, tho older Ten Eyck did
not make anywhere near the success with
the navy oarsmen that Illchard Glendon
did afterward In coaching them to row
two-mile races. From all accounts Ten
Eyck Is a better coach than Glendon, and.
In addition, every theory of the Ten Eyck
style Is that it is better adapted for the
shorter races than for the longer ones.
However that may be, when Ten Eyck
at Annapolis his crews did only fair
work. He came to Syracuse after E. R.
Bwoetland. the former Cornell athlete, gave
tip coaching there to go to Ohio Btate uni
versity. The advent of Ten Eyck hnd al
most immediate effect. Although In lf3
the Syracuse eight finished next to last. In
rxi Ten Eyck's men won the "varsity race,
breaking up a succession of Cornell victor
ies. Furthermore, In 1903, the Syracuse
freshman eight, the first to come under the
direct Influence of the Ten Eyck system,
finished a close second. The year follow
ing, In addition to the 'varsity eights, the
Pyracuse men won tho freshman race as
well. "And If we'd had a four In we might
have won there," said old man Ten Eyck
ufterward.
Since 1304 the Syracuso Influence In
the regatta has been strong. In 1&6 Syra
cuse put In a four, won the race and mode
a new record. The freshman and 'varsity
crews each were second. Syracuse won
the freshman race last year, was second In
the fours and third In the 'varsity eights.
- This year the best that could be done was
to 'Win the fours, get second In the fresh
man race and swamp In the 'varsity eights.
The swamping was due not a little to the
referee's boat, the Gretchen, Senator Rey
burn's boat, which got ahead of the Syra
cuse and Georgetown eights. However, tho
Byroouse coasting launch, the Brown,
helped some by getting ahead of the crew
t one stage In the race.
It was very much Ten Eyck In the earlier
part of the regatta this year. After the
Syracuse four won the Wisconsin and Syra
cuse freshman crews fought It out In this
ace. Father had to yield to son In this.
Only a determined spurt landed the Syra
cuse freshmen second after a hard fight
with Pennsylvania and Columbia.
Incidentally a great deal was mada of
ihe rivalry between Jim, sr., and Ed In
me early part of the rowing season. The
Syracuse crews went to Madison to row
there, In order to give the Wisconsin .tu
donts a chance to see their 'varsity crew
In action on homo waters, something which
had not happened before In nine years. The
expectation u general that the Syracuse
eirht would win the race, because It was,
believed that Ed Ten Eyck hardly could
know, aa much as hit father. The very
rough water on the hike ut Madison spoiled
the chances of Byracuse and the Wisconsin
crew won hutidlly enough.
It made Ed Ten Eyck angry when asked
at Poughkeepsie whether he thought his
crew would beat his father's. Perhaps ha
had been asked about It so much that it
was a sore skL At least he turned on one
man who put the question and flashed:
"Don't you dure ask me that." And there
was no further anxiety about the Idea.
Ed Ten Eyck was a member of a four
oared crew of the Wachusett Boat club of
Worcester, Moss. In that crew rawed
Johnson and Daly, afterward oarsmen at
Yale, Ed Ten Eyck was counted the best
sculler America ever produced. Rowing
men everywhere ssy that he was certainly
as great as the man whose name he hears.
Edward Hanlon. He was less t"s i years
old when In 1'97 he made his mark as the
first American ever to win the Diamond
Sculls at Henley. In spite of his youth
and apparently because his father was a
professional oaisman charges of profession
alism were made against the lad. They
were not made openly, but there was a
deal of disagreeable talk about htm.
Old man Ten Eyck can toll some very In
teresting stories about the Henley trip,
when he went along to get his son ready
for the race. He says that a story was
started that young Ed was getting out to
do secret time trials in the early morning.
This was based on the fact that they had
a new boat Just delivered which the father
rigged early one morning and got In to try,
for himself, and then after a few minutes
turned It over to his son to let him see
how It went. The British critics spared
the Ten Eycks little. They pointed out
that the taint of professionalism was In
evitable. They criticised the Ten Eyck
rowing style unmercifully before the race
and more afterward.
It was small wonder that after that un
usual year, 1S97, when three of the four
scullers left In the Diamond Sculls semi
finals were Americans, Ed Ten Eyck did
not want to return. He rowed down H. T.
IllackstafTe, the Britisher, in the final,
beating him with great ease. He returned
to the United States and In 1898, 1899 and
1901 won the American championship as a
single sculler with ease. He was, taken
all In all, a very rcat man with either
sweep or scull and bids fair to be a very
prominent rowing coach.
It Is related of Ed Ten Eyck that his
grandfather, James B. Ten Eyck, put an
oar In his hand first when he was 6 years
old. and that at the age of 10 Ed could
wallop all the boys around Pceksklll row
ing any distance In a Whitehall boat. Old
James B. Ten Eyck was 75 years old when
Ed won at Henley, and he then was rowing
a boat across the river from the Btate camp
to the other side for hire. He still Is hale
and heiirty at the age of 83.
It Is curious to note that Ed Ten Eyck
did not row originally from the club that
bis father coached. When the Ten Eycks
moved to Worcester some years ago that
the father might coach the Worcester Row
ing club, his father was opposed to having
Ed row. Some of the boys in the Wachu
sett Boat club Induced Ed to enter their
club and go Into a regatta at Boston. Win n
the father heard of It ho refused permis
sion, but later on relented and went al'-; ; I
to take care of his son. Tho starter A d
not want to let Ed row because ho looked
so young, but ho won handily.
Ed went Into professional rowing as coach
of the University Barge club of Phila
delphia. His crews had reasonable success
on the Sthuyklll. When Is btv-nme known
in 190G that Andrew M. O'Dea would not re
turn to bo coach of the Wisconsin crews
there was some speculation, as to the prob
able next man for the Badgers. In The
Hun of July 9 last year Immediately follow
ing the Intercollegiate regretta It was first
suggested that Ed Ton Eyck was tho man
for tho place.
Jim Ten Eyck, Jr., Is not the sculler his
brother was. He never has been regarded
as very likely to win the national champion
ship, although he passed through the inter
mediate grade. He lias done a great deal
more rowing with a sweep, which, It may
be said, he does not enjoy very much. Ho
U, about 20 years old. He entered Syracuse
university two years ago and stroked tho
19f9 class eight to victory at Poughkeepsie.
He stroked the 'varsity boat which
swamped this year. He will be the first of
the Ten Eycks to go through college.
Ed Ten Eyck entered Pennsylvania, but
did not stay there any great length of
time. It was said at the time that the
Pennsylvania coach was afraid that If Ed
got on the crew ha would eventually be
captain and that then he would Nuse his
Influence to get another coach. Ellis Ward
1b very Jealous of such encroachments.
Ed Ten Eyck, however, Is something that
not even his father Is likely to be. He Is a
member of a college faculty. The rule at
Wisconsin and the other western colleges In
the western conference Is that all trainers
must have places as members of the fac
ulty. Ed Ten Eyck, therefore, Is rated an
Instructor.
Jim, Jr., bus one odd fancy. He never
has worn Syracuso colors In a race. He
sticks to a blue Jersey with the W and
crossed oars of the Worcester Boat club
and wears the blue cap whenever he rows.
It Is a sort of superstition with him, but
has puzzled a great many persona who
coud not understand the blue colors In a
Syracuse boat.
There is likelihood that when Ten Eyck
Is a senior he will be elected captain of the
Syracuse crew. It Is doubtful if there Is
anything that would plane his father more
except to win all three races at Pough
keepsie and have the Cornell crews last In
all of them.

Squires' name was mentioned 't was In
connection with some such characteriza
tion as "dub," "sUr.er" or "frost." but
now, having voiced their disappointment,
tho sports 'have taken a more charitable
View of the Australian's performance. An
opinion la steadily gaining ground that
Squires was in a very nervous condition
when ho entered the ring with Burns for
his first really Important match, and that
this, together with a lucky punch from
Burns, did the trick. Many say that if
Squires could have lasted long enough to
regain his coolness and poIbc he would
have made a far better showing; but none
of these goes so far as to say that he
would have beaten Burn.
Referee Jeffries was, next to Tommy, the
closest man to Squires during tho two
minutes that the tlirht lasted, and was
therefore In a position to learn Just what
was wrongr. From the beginning of the
storm of harsh crltlesm he kept U hnm

Squire.
"Ho Is a danperous fellow," paid Jeffries,
"no mutter what others say. Burns caught
hlin first crack out of the box, und Squires
was so eager to be un and doing that he
arose before his head cleared. Ho should

Western League Batting Record
Manager Hart of Stoux City Is the lead

present time, nlthough he did not get a
very good start against the Omaha pitch
ers last week. Ho is followed by llogrlever,
Murphy and Yeager, who comprise the list
hitting- .& or better. Autrey has dropped
off a couple of points In his batting and Is
now registered at .2117, with Uohin the next
Omaha man at .216. Captain Fox of Lin
coln still continues the best sacrifice hit
ter, huvlng boosted a player along twenty
eight times, although Captain Frunck Is a
close second with twenty-six. D. Sheehan
follows with twenty-two.
The figures show that Fox has stolen
the most bases, as he Is credited with
thirty, and again Captain Franck Is second
with twenty-eight. Hart and Cassady are
tied as the best homo run hitters, with five
to the credit of each. Ryan and Welch are
tied for the three-sack honors, and each
of these players have landed for triples
seven times. As the two-sack hitter
Autrey shines by himself and he has twen-ty-ono
to his credit, and he and Ryan are
tied for the honor of hitting tho ball safely
tho greatest number of times, both ap

An awful wall comes from Australia
about the match. The subjects of King
Hdward cannot become reconciled to tho
fact that "Boshter Bill" had a good chanco
to show his qualities, and they are wllllne;
to give Burns a bonus of $2,5'i0 and let him
take the entire purse, win, lose or draw, If
he will only enter the ring with Squires
agnln. Burns Is ready to go to Australia
and a match will probably take place early
In December, and It will be easy money for
Tommy. It was not a lucky punch that
put Squires out of the busine ss, but a well- 1
planned style of battle. Burns, it appears, j
had been tipped off that Squires was going I
to take it easy for awhile, so Burns sim
ply "double-crossed" him, and, rushing it
at the tap of the bell, landed the blow that
finished poor Bill.

full of edibles of all descriptions, Inclildln
boviil, chicken, egs and Jellies and liquor
from champagne down to aerated waters;
ami there whs u spirit lamp too, to boll
the kettle If It was wanted. Edwards, in
'a.t, wanted for nothing and was a strik:
Ing contrast to Hammond, who was only
al tended by a solitary cyclist carrying a
few things In the refreshment lino.
Along with the trio mentioned there were
other starters In Swahey, who holds the
en-hour record, and Pryor, Brown and
1 '.lurid. The start was from the Swan and
Suar Loaf at Croydon, the headquarters
of the Surrey Walking club, and it oc
curred at. 9 o'clock at night. A representa
tive ot the Sportsman followed the walk
ers over every foot of the way, and ho
gives a detailed account Of the contest,
which Is very Interesting.
H. W. O. Haxelgrave gave the word
"go!" and lCdwurds jumped away with the
lead ond began to cut out the work at a
great pace. The course for' marly three
miles was by tram lines, and tr- cars au
tomoblles and spoctators who ran In front
made the going difficult for the -walkers.
Despite this the rate was remarkably fast.
Brown wa evidently bent on cutting down
the lead of the visitor nnd Edwards was
equally willing for a light.
At three-quarters of a mile Brown Bhot
Into the lead, but at a mile Edwards gave
him the go by. Just then one of F1 ward's
attendant advised him that he wus goln
too fast and that the race was biO miles,
not a mile, but the Manchester man replied
that ho was going well within himself,
and he kept pegging away. Hammond,
meanwhile, was coming along In fine style,
for though ho had the pneo lie declined to
make use of It, nnd was content to lay
third. Swabey was fourth, titty yards bo
hind, and then came Barnes-Moss with his
springy snldler-Ilke stride. Pryor and
Bland brought up the rear close together.
Right up to Strr-athom Common Brown
and Kdwards fought for the lead, which
was held alternately, but after climbing
the hill out of Slreatham villuo Brown
went thirty yards ahead. Tho tram ter
minus at Btreatham brought more trouble.
Down Brixton hill Brown kept up the
pace, and at Kennlngton Gate he was
Bixty yards ahead. Swinging by the) Horns
Into Kennlngton road Edwards Inr, -eased
ills pace and began to crawl up on the
It'UlltT. i
K earing Westminster bridge tho traffic 1
was much congested, and when 'Big Hen
came In sight Brown's lead had been re
duced considerably. Hammond had fallen
150 yards awuy, while Bland and Pryor
were half a mile behind. The clock tower
marks ten end one-half miles of the Jour
ney: and the times at that point were:
Brown, 1 hour 35 minutes 31 seconds; Kel
wurds, 1 hour .15 minutes 55 seconds: Ham
mond, 1 hour 38 minutes 7 seconds; Swahey,
1 hour 39 minutes 1 second; Moss, 1 hour
.19 mlnuts 41 seconds; Pryor, 1 hour 50
minutes 25 seconds; Blund, 1 hour 50 min
utes 38 seconds.
As thev reached the Canterbury music
hall Edwards dashed ahead and quickly
took a big lead, and seemed to draw away
ptrong on bis bus and ; -roping his form
splendidly. Brown was short on his stride
and evidently tired, while Swabey. consid
ering that he had never gone anything like
the distance, was doing very well.
Just before he lift llnrdc loss. Hammond
had complained of cramp, nnd five mile
Inter, when going thruiiun Bolnev. he had
n bad time. He was soon himself again,
however, and made such good progress
as to con t'lete his fiftr miles In 8 hour. 24
minutes. Hammond put in nomo line walk
Imr at this point, and nlthough a strong
wind blew ajjtilnst him his time was truly
remarkable. Keeping tip the pace, Ham
mond swung round the official time keeper
at Brtirliton Aquarium In !' hour 30 mln
uti . 36 seconds, or 37 minutes 1 second bet
ter thnn the previous record, held by Hor
ton, for the same distance. Brown wa an
hour and a half In second place; Swabey
vns third. Moss was fourth, Bland fifth
and Pryor last.
Without a moment of delay Hammond
started on the homeward tack. The going
was frightful on aeeountof the dust kicked
tip by the automobiles nnd cyclists. At
every mile Hammond Increased hi lend,
and with victory In sight he now and again
reefed off more than five nnd a half m11ef
to the hour. Slowly but surely Brown cam
back to Moss. Once he was found ballv
used up nnd reclining against a wall. He
had pains In the knees and had to be mas
saged with embrocation for a time; nnd
after being given some raw egg nnd milk
he was able to resume his Journey.
Barnes-Moss was then looked after, he
was spongi-d, fed nnd given grape and
other tlilnas of a refreshing nnture. When
six miles from the (inlsh Brown collapsed as
though for good and was found stretched
out In the gateway of a hay field, but on
being given restoratives, food and drink,
braced himself and finished. Meanwhile
Bnrnns-Moss drew up and seeing Brown In
trouble found new strength and went Into
R.'Cond rdnce. Previous to these happen

wonderfully fresh ami well. He got a gn

PURIFIES
oTHE BLOOD
Bad blood is responsible for most of the nilruenU of mankind. When
from any cause this vital fluid becomes infected with impurities, humors or
poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Kezema, Acne, Tetter,
Boils, Pimple3, etc., while they show on the skin, have an underlying cause
which is far deeper an impure, humor-infected blood supply, and until Una
is corrected, and the blood purified, the distressinp; itching' and burning
symptoms will remain. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula,
Blood Poison and all other blood disorders, are the result of a vitiated, pol
luted circulation, and will continue to prow worse unless the poison is re
moved from the blood. In all blood and skin diseases S. S. S. has proved
itself a perfect remedy. It poes down into the circulation and removes all
waste matter, humors or poisons, and makes the blood pure and health-sustaining'
