Sydney, Aug. 28.
Over the famous Parramatta course here nie Barry of Twick-won back the world's professional sculling championship from A. D. Felton, the young Australian ex-soldier, to whom he lost the championship over the Putney-Mortlake course last year. Barry won by 12 lengths.—Reuter.
Sydney, Aug. 27.
The veteran Ernie Barry's victory over A.D. Felton for the World's Professional Sculling Championship, is the most striking indication of the supermastery of style over sheer strength. The contest was a contest of skill and experience against strength and youth. Barry, with his slight build, is anything but a typical strong man, while Felton is a brawny young giant who, though no mean sculler, is nothing like as finished an artist as Barry, who has super-neat wrist work and a long. smooth gliding stroke. Both men were in fine condition. Betting was in favour of Barry.—Reuter.
