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.

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

The Trainmen's A. C. has completed arrangements to place a strong

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

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,

WELSH TO MEET
FRANKIE M'GUIRE
Battle With Champion to Take
Place in Harrisburg May 3;
Good Preliminaries
Contracts are enroute from New
York City to Harrisburg for a six
round bout on May 3 between Cham
pion Freddie Welsh and Frankie Mc-
Gulre. This important battle will take
place at Chestnut street auditorium.
Welsh Is the most expensive ring at
traction ever offered local fight fans.
The general opinion is that McGuire
will join the championship aspirants
if he stands up the six rounds.
This is the first real title battle
offered local patrons since boxing
shows were resumed here. Manager
Billy Mehring of the Keystone Athletic
Club has been negotiating fo" three
weeks for a strong attraction. He has
also signed up Johnny Gill of York
and will secure a good man for this
boy. There wilt be two other bouts
on the bill.
McGuire started work yesterday at
Paxtonia. All sparring and bag
punching will be done in the open.
Road work will be a feature. A well
known trainer will be here to-day,
and four sparring partners will be
signed up for the Williamsport hoy.
McGuire cancelled his match with
Frank O'Brien at Reading for May
1, in order to be in form to meet
Welsh.

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. Many
| players are holding out until it is de
! finitely known that organized baseball
will be a feature of'the new organiza
tion.

Uonr.ie Mack with his bunch of young
sters lifted the lid at Shibe Park to
day. 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.
