ROWING INNOVATION
AT MEMORIAL RACES
Double Starter and Referee Sys
tem Will Be Adopted by
Rowing Body.
An Innovation In rowing will be tried
at tho annual regatta of the Now York
Rowlnp Association, In conjunction with
the' American Canoe Association, on tho
Speedway course of the Harlem River
on Memorial Day, May 31, when a
double referee and atarter system will te
adopted. Considerable delay has In
past regattas been experienced In start
Ins the events on schedule time. This
resulted In Interference with big craft
on the river. In order to start every
event on time there will lie two starters
and two referees. This haa become nec
essary, as the program of events will
consist of seventeen rowing and eight
canoa races, making twenty-five In nil.
This plan was ndopted at the weekly
meeting of the New York Rowing As
sociation last night at tho New York
A. C. city clubhouse, at which Richard
Sturcke presided.
The schedule of events follows:
Junior single sculls, tntermedlato single
