Teemer Plans Australia Race Challenge Details
McKeesport rower John Teemer weighs options between racing Australia’s McLean in America or traveling to Australia for a world title bout. A San Francisco dispatch notes Teemer aims to be in Mt. Jew, Massachusetts, soon to train and arrange a Pacific-coast race if McLean visits the United States.
