American Final Predicted

In Diamond Sculls

Henley-on-Thames, June 29-An all-American final between John Kelly, Junior, of the University of Pennsylvania, and John Trinsey, of the Notre. Dame Club, Philadelphia, was already being predlet.. ed for the Diamond Sculls after the first day of racing proper in the Henley Royal Regatta today...

Both men won their opening hents in a canter against mediocre opposition. Kelly, winner in 1947, may face stiff opposition in his next race, which should be against Bort Bushnell, the British Olym pic sculler. It is not yet certain whether Bushnell will compete as he may decide to reserve himself for the doublo sculls.
