SINGAPORE WIN

Interport Rowing Event

Singapore. Sept. 21.

Singapore beat Batavia in the inter-port Rowing race yesterday by three and a half lengths. They displayed better finish and more power in their rowing throughout than the visitors, who did not row too well together,

The home crew were stroked splendid fashion by their leader. D. D. C. Erskine Crum, who after Etarting off with a fast rate of striking, dropped down after hav- ing established a lead, and there- after had the race well in hand. He rowed a beautiful length and was well supported by his crew.

The visitors, who had "the ad-

vantage of a lighter boat on a very calm sea, never pulled with the power and length as the home crew, and never seriously challerig. ed them. There was a stage to wards the end when they put on a slight spurt and pulled up a few feet, but the effort tailed off.
