The
Toronto World, Aug 9, 1915, lists all of the results
listed in "100 Years of Champions" but
erroneously claims in the article, "Island
Aquatic tied with Balmy Beach on total points, ten
apiece, while the Brits of Ottawa had nine."
None of this is possible using the scoring system
of 3/2/1. Balmy Beach is the clear winner by all
point tabulations. |
The
divisional title lists only a Western and Northern
Division, allocating all of the Eastern Division
points to the Northern Division's 28. This is likely
due to the cancelation of an Eastern Division Championships. |
The
Toronto Globe, August 9, 1915, mentions the "beautiful
trophy" that was awarded to the club winning
the grand aggregate. "1st time since 1906 that
this trophy has gone to any club but the Red Ring
boys of the T.C.C." |
NB:
The points used in "Canada's Sprint Canoe Clubs,"
(2006) are based on Senior/Junior events only from
1904 to 1915. |

The
Lakeside Aquatic Club is likely an alternate name
for the Humber Bay Canoe Club, founded by Art Orr.
The Toronto Globe article has a different list of
points totals (Beach = 21, Parkdale = 18, Toronto
= 15, Island = 11, Lakeside = 1). I am inclined to
go with the Toronto World article since they describe
each race in detail rather than simply list the results.

EASTERN
DIVISION
|
Due
to the fact that there are no newspaper reports at
all in the Gazette regarding an Eastern Division regatta
when they report on both of the other divisions I
believe that there was no formal qualifying regatta
in the Eastern Division due to WWI. Also a factor
is the divisional title which shows Northern and Eastern
combined due to the depleted Quebec teams. |
