National Sculling Champ

Buffalo's police force points with pride to Officer Edward McGuire. On the Patapsco River (Baltimore), at the 51st annual regatta of the Na- tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen, McGuire unexpectedly diverted rowing history from its charted course.

In the association singles, he beat W. E. G. Gilmore, of Baltimore, who two weeks ago won the Canadian quarter-mile title at St. Catherine's, Ont. He then splashed over a choppy mile-and-a-quarter course to the national singles championship. In his wake struggled Hilton Belyea, fisherman-oarsman of St. John, N. H., 1922 Canadian champion, and Paul V. Costello, of Philadelphia, 1922 national champion.
