Toronto, Ont., Sept. 27. The race
for the championship of America be
tween Eddie Durnan, the present hold
er of the title, and. Frap -jj. , Gier,
who holds the championship tiCle for
the United States, which is to be row
ed this afternboh on Tbronto Bay has
attracted thousands of lovers of the
rowing sport and others, interested in j
aquatic and other sports in a general
way, to this city and there is every
reason to believe that the race will be
1 watched byenormous crowds already
sabering at. every available point
overlooking the course at Hanlon's
Point. -where the contest will take
place. -
Both Durnan ftiid Greer have been
training and practicing for a week or
more and are said to be in the pink of
condition. Greer, who is the chal
lenger, came to Toronto about a week
ago and since his arrival has put in
most of his time$Ji the waters of the
bay, limbering up for the great event
ihich is to decide the respective mer
its of the two noted professionals. The
race will be over a distance of one
and one-half miles and. return and 'it
is generally expected by those who
have been watching the two contest
ants that one or perhaps both of them
sill "hang up" a new record for speed.
f Eddie Durnan, the present holder of
the professional sculling championship
of America, is a nephew of the famous
Hanlon. Last year he was chal
lenged by William Haines, of Boston,
but ho retained his title by easily de
feating Haines in a three-mile race on
Toronto Bay, winning, in addition, a
Purse of $1,000. One month later Dur-'
"an again KiippASHfnllv dpfpnrtAH hist
"tl" by defeating John Hackett, of
f'', Minn., in a three-mile race on
the Rainy River, Ont.
I'rank B. Greer, the professional
sculling champion of the United
States, also has a good record. Last
ar lie was challenged by the same
William Haines, of Boston, who in
Jly of 1912 tried to wrest the title of
American chatttplon from Durnan. The
raee took place in Boston on Sept. 1,
and Greer defeated his opponent
asily in a three-mile race.
To avoid interference with the race
H' ;..ssing ships or craft crossing the
tourne, the officials of 'the race have
toade extensive preparations forkeep
"R 'lie course free from other craft

William Albany, the noted English
sculler, has already made the an
toimrfiment that he will challenge the

tlons as to the place where the race is

Question Upmost Today is
Whether Colwell Will be
ObtaTn&I iTem hi the
Impeachment Trial -Governor's
Secretary Summoned.
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 27 The big
unanswerable question here today was
whether Frederick L Colwell, Gov
ernor Sulzer's alleged "dummy" in his
Wall street deals, would testify in
the trial oT the impeached executive.
There was no session of court today.
Twice within the past week the man
angers' counsel have called upon Sul

Attorney Hinman said Thursday he
thought he would reach Colwell by
night, but he did not. Again yester

much doubt Is expressed among the
managers attorneys as to whether
Colwell will ever testify. They say
he will prove the connecting link be
tween Sulzer and Wall street and in
sist that the Governor's attorneys will
not let-Colwell take the stand if there
is any way for them to prevent him
doing so.
Chester' Piatt, Sulzer's secretary,
was subpoenaed" today as a witness by
ber's attorneys to produce Colwell
Their reply was that the matter had the board of managers in the impeach
been left in the hands of one of Sul- ment trial
ferent parties.
