One hun dred men. representing the tast the col leges have been able to develop by con stant .training, will compete here tomorrow afternoon lu the annual regatta of the In tercollegiate Rowing Association. The craws which will strive for premier honors rep resent Cornell, Syracuse, Columbia, Penn sylvania, Georgetown, and Wlaeotisln, and the eve of the regatta finds the same ele ment of uncertainty which hnn been char acteristic nl the event since Its Inception. Preparations have liesn made for a big crowd. Already the town Is fllled with hun dreds of graduates and undergraduates, partisan* of the six colleges which will imrtlclpnte In the regatta, dlseusalog the jirobable winners til the three races which will make up tomorrow’s program. The town wears a holiday appearance, the col ors of all Hie universities represented talug displayed conspicuously In the principal ■treeta. The Influx tomorrow la expected to ho In excess of anything ever known at a .Poughkeepsie regatta, ami It Is predicted that the largest crowd that ever witnessed n rowing event In America wilt see the rival crows struggle for honors. As ts natural. Cornell Is the favorite for the ’varsity race, but every trainer thinks hla crew has a look-in, and their opinion ts shared by the various crews. Hyracuse seems to have suffered the only real set-back In the withdrawal of young James Ten Ryck, stroke of the freshman crew, son of James Ten Ryck, the veteran coach. Two days ago Ten Ryck wan sud denly taken 111. Ilauks. No. 2 In the fresh man boat, has t>een shifted to stroke and f'heny. a substitute, sits In Ranks’ place. The general opinion la that Ten Ryck will net be In shape for the contest. The trou ble Is with his stomach. Another last-moment change took place • In Cotumhln’a camp. The Columbia ’varsity has been steered by Dorsey. W. H. Winslow has been pat In the place. Winslow Is a rouple of pounds lighter. w*etgblng only If*. The crew Is protably the liest Colum bia ever had. Wisconsin's speed this year ft a surprise, for the men were the last to give up the old Idea of the lougstroke with a slow, deliberate recovery.

New York, June 22.—Alex Shields* satis faction In winning n Huhurhnn Handicap came In flu* fame and honor of the affair, backed up with n harvest of 833,500 lu bets mid purse money. Rnrly today tbe nature of Ho lletwrcn’s reward became kuown, when the hearty owner aald: "You nsk what la coming to Ho Ret ween.

Below tbe exterior of the man Is n warm heart and plenty of sentiment wrought by forty years of battling for a survival on the turf In aU countries, and In all classes, and lu contact with every type of man let loose. He loves a race horse which does a good turn for hitu as he would n man. Over at llouud Brook, N. J.. where lie tins a brCed Ing and training farm.

Here la j»ls latest outburst: ’’Manager Billy 'Smith, of Atlanta,. bos made some charges which ho will hare a hard time substantiating. Some of them are: .‘That when O’Brien slid Juto tbe plate and slightly lujured Kvers In Saturday’s game the Pelican third baseman made the assertion that he tried to break Kvers’ leg, baring hod orders from Manager Prank to employ such tact lea. "That when Rfckert slid Into Jordan at second base the Pelican left fielder tried to "put Jordan out of business,” In accord nnee with the same lastrnctlons. "That when tbe New Qrlenna team was In Atlanta'Manager Frank tlsked his play ers to ’pump* Atlanta’s suspended men to fiud out whether they were drawing pay from the Atlanta club whllf under sus pension. ".Smith nlno intlmatoil that when Knoll slid Into Archer st Atlnnta and slightly crippled the Atlanta catcher, he did It In tentionally. aud covered It up by feigning sympathy for the Injured man. "Somehow or other Smith always geta In bad. He la a ‘bush leaguer’ of the most prouonnred character, ami when be gets Into good company be tries ’bush league’ tactics with disastrous results. He la care less and.hot-headed, and Itas put himself Into n hole front wbleh ft wontd ta hard to extricate him If the matter waa pushed. "It Is not necessary to reply to those un warranted tsacrtlons. ss there Is not even a knocker In this city who would talleve that O’Brien, Knoll and Rfckert would ta parties to auch transactions. Their reputa tions aa gentlemanly tall players overtal- a nee auch charges.
