American Champion Survives

DIAMOND SCULLS

AT HENLEY

But Two Other Americans Eliminated

KENT SCHOOL'S FINE WIN

(By AIR MAIL)

London, June 28. ALTHOUGH two of the three American challen- gers for the Diamond Challenge Sculls were defeated at Henley Royal Regatta yesterday, their champion, J. W. Burk, the favourite, survives. Burk was never extended against J. D. Steel, an un- attached oarsman, and won by 21⁄2 lengths in the slow time of 10 mins. 16 secs.

In the semi-final the American will oppose T. H. Tyler (Thames R.C.), who was given a “row-over" from P. H. Jackson (London R.C.), one of the strongest British, competitors. Jackson withdrew as he is in the London crews in the Grand and the Stewards'.
