Br Telcsrwh—Press Association— Copyright
London, October 2D. In presenting Ernest Barry, the champion sculler, with the "Sportsman Cup (which is now his' own), Lord Dosborougli paid a tribute to Barry for raising English sculling from the abyss in which it had been wallowing for many yeare. Ho montioned the fact that many who weTO pursuing rowing and sculling in Australasia had told him both at Stockholm and Henley, prior to the world's championship of 1912, that Arnst was not only the best sculler at that time, but that he wa9 capable of ranking with the crew of scullers Australasia or any other country had over produced, ilore honour, therefore, was due to Barry for bringing the championship to England. Barry, in returning thanks, said he hoped to hold the championship for many years. . Tho "Sportsmah" will provide another cup for competition.
