Sport: In Hamburg

Germans, being sturdy and efficient, are good at all sports in which method is more important than speed. They make excellent oarsmen. In 1905 the Atlanta Boat Club (U.S.) sent a four-oared shell to compete in a regatta at Hamburg. In 1914 a German shell raced in the Henley regatta. But not since that year, for various reasons, have the oarsmen of Hamburg pulled against those of the U.S. Last week the Hamburg Rowing Club sent its compliments to five U.S. colleges, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania, and invited them to come to Hamburg for the annual regatta on July 10 and 11, eight days after the Henley.
