Corbett has been up before on similar charges,

''dead to rights" this time, and that he will be
listed as disqualified oarsman.

leans.
The athletic and musical entertainmentthat
was to have occurred on Friday evening at the
Potomac Athletic Club did not materialize on
account of a misunderstanding. To offset the
failure Capt. Zappone will personally arrange
one for next Friday evening.
A would-be censor says q small minority of
the local boating fraternity is desirous of hold
ing the National regatta here. If this statement
had been that large majority of the rowing
men desire 1t, it would have struck nearer the
bulls-eye of fact. The p. A. G. are eager for it,
the Analostans are willing to pay their part
and the @. A. G. would only be asked for
third.
The members of the Potomac Athletic Club
are elated over the fact that they have dis
covered in their ranks an athlete who will take
his place with the best in the country. 1t is Dr.
Krick, who through illness last summer was
prevented from participating in the sports

The governors of the Columbia Athletic Club
have issued a circular letter to every member of
the organization, calling attention to the ap-
preaching election of club officers, and setting
forth at length the condition of the affairs of

the Columbia boys. The attendance on these
occasions would no doubt be greater (they
would have to be) than last years games
Games with the college teams would establish
the Columbia teams reputation firmly in the
world of amateur base-bal players, for there is
can be selected than that of last year.
The prevailing topic of conversation within
the Columbia Athletic Club is the coming cleo
tions, which are to occur on the 18th instant
''For such large body of men an event of this
Importance should receive more thought than it
does,' said member of the club yesterday.
"Each member appears to think that some one
else will attend to the selection of proper and
efficient candidates. There is some likelihood
that several changes will be made in the govern
ing board, but the probability is that most of
the more prominent officials will be reelected,
and in this the members will do well. The men
to fill the positions upon the board of governors
should be careful and level-headed, and identi-
fed with local interests, and not those who are
known as Jolly good fellows and drawing a
