Crew to Paris all Boston eight eyed for world sculling
Boston rowing clubs met at Union Club boat house to plan sending an all Boston crew to compete in the world championship sculling events at the Paris Exposition next summer. The plan favors an eight to uphold Athens prestige though some fear breaking up strong fours and eights. A feasible route would send Metropolitan and Fourth of July winners to Harlem and, if successful, to Paris. Decisions await Metropolitan B A A on March 14. Inter scholastic oarsmen will train under Union Boat Club supervision once coaches are chosen.
