VERY UNLUCKY

Strike Affects The Rdwers

(From "N.Z; Truth's" Wanganui Rep.) The Union (Wanganui) rowing crew will have to face some difficulty over the' transportation'; of their boat to Melbourne through the strike. . -■: . THfc champion four of New Zealand left for Melbourne; on thevMaheno last week, taking with them their own shell. ' , .■ . . . ;..,, Now it is doubtful whether they will get their boat through t0 ... Melbourne for Henley-on-Yarra owing, to the coastal boats on the other side being held up by the strike. To rail the boat through would be much too expensive, and the • chances are that the Union crew will have to row for the. Stewards' Challenge Cup m a strange craft. ' This will not make any easier for Clarrie Healey and his men, who have been putting m some special work m their boat.' The tAVo 'younger members of»the crew, Moss and • Gal rbraith, will >,be more : affected by the change than Healey and Kruse: New Zealanders will' Jiope .for the. best under the 'circum'slances... The craft . niay find, its' way " to Melbourne before the big race! , ?
