12 FREDDIE WELSH CHAMPION TO FIGHT FRANKIE McGUIRE-ATLANTIC LEAGUE READY TIGERS FAVORITE IN TODAY'S RACES Rival Oarsmen Have Final Trial Spin This Morning; Pick Officials Special to the Telegraph Princeton, N. J.. April 20. With fc benignant sun and an unruffled sur face of water, the Princeton and Har vard crews took their final workouts on Lake Carnegie this evennig and completed the real work of prepara tion for the opening race of the crew season to be held to-day between 4 and B oclock. Princeton is ready. All preliminaries are completed, and the chance for a Princeton victory looms much bright er on tthe eve of the race than at the start of the week. The Crimson has advantage of weight, experience and power, but a comparison of the two crews on their linal workout gives the impression that if does not defeat the training in form that the Tigers have received in the last few weeks, their beautiful stroke should make the result to-day a very close one. But. Harvard is a slight favorite. Harvards junior crew should have an easier time, for the Tiger seconds have experienced a shake-up as re cently as yesterday. Lieutenant Ingram of the Navy, will referee and Alfred Noyes, the Eng lish poet, will act as judge at the finish. Princeton has the southern course for both races.

Haskin [Continued From Editorial Page] meeting: of all these farmers, and laid the proposition before them. The farmers "sat and studied" a while and decided that it was good. A circle of the. Sand Hill country forty miles in diameter was taken as the territory of the board. It was divided into twenty-nine districts, each of which had a bit of a village as its center. Each district was Riven three repre sentatives in the council of the board, and each district had one vote. A meeting is held once a month, not to talk, but to pass upon some specific project. These meetings are heavily attended. The Board has an executive com mittee which meets every week, and an executive officer in the person of Clyde L. Davis, who is on the job every day and nearly every night. Amons other things he has been a Kansas farmer, a rural evangelist, and a stu dent of the classics. He needs all of his versatility. The Board of Trade calls upon him to produce anything it wants. Not long ago It wanted a fair and told Mr. Davis to organize one, hut not to hire any balloon ascensions, midways, or anything like that. Mr, Davis went among the people, and had them rig up their farm wagons to suit themselves for a great parade. The farmers fell back upon the story and legend of the countryside. They came as wild Indians, as Highland clansmen, and as soldiers of the revolution, bearing the muskets and powder horns of their ancestors. They showed such a vivid consciousness of their own remarkable story that Mr. Davis is now under orders to produce a historical pageant. These, however, are the frills and furbelows of the Sand Hill Board of Trade. Here is another thins it did. When the European war broke, the cotton went down and down until the little planter and the tenant farmer were within an inch of starvation, the San Hill men were hard hit. They raised other things, but cotton was their best money crop. In this emergency Jhe executive committee of the Board of Trade held a solemn meeting. "If this Board of Trade is of any use it's got to prove it now," said one, and the rest agreed. There was the emergency currency issued by the government, of course. The executive committee went to Raleigh and found there was not going to be enough of that to go around. Then they went to New York. Although there were men in the Board of Trade with a lot of credit, they found that money was very scarce in New York, too. At last they got a credit of a hundred thousand in Boston. They returned to the Sand Hills and built a ware house in each of their districts. The farmers were told to come there and store their bales, that they would be given receipts based on n fair price, and that those receipts would he cur rency in the Sand Hill circle. So the Board of Trade saved the cotton situation to the great Increase of its strength and glory. The way the hoard handled the tweet potato crop was typical. The sandy soil of the section is admirably suited to raising them, but the na tives produced chiefly the yellow yams which they liked. The West and the North want dry sweet potatoes. The Board of Trade procured seed of the best varieties of dry sweet potatoes and saw that it was distributed. They also made arrangements with the railroads to furnish them heated cars for winter shipments. The farmers * m peatmalHno ulih a BIUI. TRAINMEN STARS RETURN HHHi « MYLBS O. EVELER, Manager and Pitcher. The Trainmen's A. C. has completed arrangements to place a strong team in the field this season.

Arthur Roth Wins American Marathon by Close Margin Special to the Telegraph Boston, April 20.—Victor's honors in the annual American Marathon road race were won yesterday by Arthur V. Roth, a youth of slight build who ran for the Dorchester Club of this city. From the fourth mile of the 25-mile course his speed kept in his wake three-score of the sturdiest distance runners In this country and Canada. Less than 11 seconds separated Roth from the sprinting second man at the finish, Villar Kyronen, of the Millrose A. A., New York. Sidney Hatch, the Illinois Athletic Club's veteran, was third, and J. J. Corkery, of Toronto, whose amateur status was cleared only at the las) moment, fourth. Roth's winning time was 2 hours 27 minutes KELLY POOL—Whose Turn to Buy?

WELLY'S i^CQRNER Local fight fans are showing much enthusiasm over the prospects of a title battle in Harrisburg. The con test between Freddie Welsh on May 3, is one of the most important ever held outside of the larger cities. Frankie McGulre who meets the champion is already in training. The collegiate rowing season opens to-day at Princeton. Harvard crews competed aginst the Tigers late this afternoon. While Princeton appears to be a big favorite unusual interest Is manifested in the result because of new rowing antics recently introduced at Harvard. On Saturday Yale and Penn will meet in Philadelphia. One fact cannot be denied. The At lantic League has the strong support of every newspaper on the circuit. At the meeting in Philadelphia yesterday the writers were present and later the league officials gave them a big din ner. An organization of sport writ ers was completed, to include news paper writers on the circuit. i This is the day the Pennsylvania i State League officials expect definite word as to protection. The necessary I cash accompanied the application | made one week ago and Secretary | Farrell was requested to notify all ' cities not later than Thursday.

The Athletic pitchers are still an enigma, but Manager Mack believes a long stretch of warm weather will put them in better shape. Central High will have a tennis team and will compete with other high school teams, all reports to the con trary notwithstanding. Six tennis courts will be constructed at Front and Seneca streets, and practice will start within three weeks. These courts will be for students of Central High school. For the present no courts will be located in the Hill district. All necessary tennis equipment will be furnished by the school. 1 Assistant Superintendent of Parks, ; V. Grant Forrer, is of the opinion that the track at Island Park will be ready tor practice periods by Saturday. The ground is still too soft. Part of the i cinder track has dried out but the stretch is too small to permit any sat isfactory work. Local athletes hope to be able to get at least three days on jthe track in order to develop speed. Baseball and trapshooting will be |in lively competition on Saturday. ! Throughout the city there will lie amateur games on every field. Tech j high, Harrisburg Academy, State ; Highway department, and Pennsylva nia railroad shooters will hold weekly practice matches. Members of the Harrisburg Sportsmen's Association will be prominent, too, and assist the beginners.
