EARLY PRACTICE
ROWERS FOR EMPIRE GAMES
SYDNEY, January 25,
.New Zealand crews had their first rows today in fine weather, but are still suffering from the effects of a rough voyage.
The eight rowed five miles, rating mostly at 16 to 22, with short bursts to 26.
The four carried out similar work and the emergencies rowed in a pairoared boat, lent by Nepean rowing clubs.
Both crews rowed a good length with smoothness and steady recovery*, which impressed other crews.
Only New Zealand crews are using popet riggers. All others are using 'swivel riggers. Smith, whose boat is being repaired at Sydney, sculled on the Parramatta River.
England's eight rowed a steady sixteen miles and the Australian eight five and a half miles, principally paddling with short bursts. Their work was the best yet. Canada's four is much improved and their work in the boat more polished.
Hankow has protested against the new tariir schedule drawn up by the provisional Government of Peking in favour of Japan. It is a violation of China's prerogative, and can have little effect to save Japan's grip on the city. It is a flagrant discrimination incompatible with Japan's open-door declnra,tion.
