the A. A. U. committee have settled their

The New York athletic clubs are all worked
some of the clubs in their sparring affairs by
the daily papers. 1t is shown that men claim
ing to be amateur sparrers were paid money
for winning their setto's, and the A. A. U. is
called on to take up the subject. We hope
the Union will take the question up and will
expel all guilty organizations.
Telephone 374-2 for Faust Beer"
Secretary Gibson, of the National Associa-
tion, is daily receiving letters from clubs in
every section of the country, inquiring as to
rates, etc., etc., that will be made for the
transportation of shells by the railroads. This
is the most important question that will come
before the committee, and unless the railroads
make good concession it will jeopardize the at
tendance of crews materially. The trunk lines
ought to make large special reduction to aid
the regatta. They should, however, actively
cooperate with the clubs.
''Faust Beer' is old.
The clubs began to row shells last week and
Tn1a aVf fha t.xy 1,t&
with fours and eight-oared shells. The
Columbias predominated, and the uniforms of
that club were seen in at least two-thirds of
the crafts. The Potomacs also had out some
oarsmen, and the Analostans, too, were seen
working their way up stream. The coming of
the National regatta has enthused the oars
men considerably, and the number of juniors
that have made their Appearances larger than
ever before, which speaks well for future
material for crews in the club. Rowing is
now the order of the day and will continue so
until the last of next September.
"Faust Beer'' takes the lead.
