Sporting Editor Morning CaP'-DEAR SIR
Will you please correct an error tnat cfep
into your department of last Saturdays CAL
and oblige? The name should read S. J. Penn
broke instead of James W., as you had IT. a
/ am somewhat on the wrong side OF 45 year
old feel little proud of the title '.cham
pion," and shall do my best to maintain tn
same, and hope that when have to lose 1t i
will be to my son, J. w.
1t seems to me that there being so many goo'
oarsmen around San Francisco who are n
longer boys, but could "put up" good race
nevertheless. the old fellows should b
recognized in future regattas and prizes otfere'
for men over a certain age. Such races woul'
| be very interesting and would be the means O
keeping good men from giving up altogethe
! because they are pitted against youth.
The Amateur Athletic Association OF tn
Pacific Coast having managed their races Il
such excellent form, it is to be hoped tina
when the Fourth of July celebration agai
! takes place in San Francisco they will be give
! the fund to spend and the management OF tn
regatta. The oarsmen may then expect t
have something handsome to row for.
III you will do what you can for us in you
valuable paper l. for one, will be grateful I
! you, believing rowing to be ore OF the hes
and most manly sports. remain, yours truly
