...slide no amount of rowing together would equalize the stroke; the short man would have to catch later or finish later than the long man, the result of which is, of course, unsteadiness in the boat and diminution of speed; for racing craft are so narrow that the blow of the blade as it takes water and the jerk as it leaves the surface are enough to give a lurch which causes the oars on the other side to foul at some point on the recover...
First Bout - Thayer and Dame sparred the first bout. The first round was quickly opened by Thayer who got in a body blow on his opponent. Dame replied with some straight leads with his left which reached home nearly every time. Thayer was quick on countering and ducked in a puzzling way.

Towards the end of the round both were somewhat winded...

...getting hit in return. Ashe suddenly gathered himself up for a last effort and visited Curtis with a right and left. These he followed with a right on the jaw which knocked Curtis off his feet. When time was called Curtis made one rally, but at the first hard blow he received he went down and was unable to finish the round. The cup was awarded to Ashe. Curtis was very plucky, and his reappearance a few minutes after was greeted with prolonged applause...
