The prepare tiOnS for the annual regatta
on the Potomac are progressing satisfac-
tcrily. OF the three boat clubs in the city
two have appointed committees to arrange
for the event. while in the case of the third
club the committee will soon be announced.
The Potomac took the lead at its annual
meeting early last month and appointed a
committee, consisting of Messrs. Nolan,
Schmidt and Roulette. The Columbus fol-
lowed, and at their annual meeting. April
81 selected a committee, consisting of
AIessrs. Sam Stinemetz, r. W. Ryan and
Lieut.. Chas. Baker. At their annual meet
ing the Analostan Boat Club in some man
ner overlooked the matter. An Intellectual
attempt was made during the week to in
dUce the board of directors to appoint
committee meeting will be held some
time next week. when the committee will
be appointed and arrangements made.
Meanwhile the other TWO committees are
going ahead and arranging the minor de-
tails, with the consent of the Analostans.
a joint excursion to one of the river resorts
is contemplated for the purpose of OBJ
tanning regatta funds. The excursion will
come off about the middle of July. Last
year il was given after the regatta. This
year the excursion Will be held before the
regatta.
Having the excursion before the regatta
1t is very likely to make the date of that
event later than was ANTICIPATED. 1t looks
now though it will not be held until Au-
gust Even if the first week in August is
agreed upon 1t will be several weeks earlier
than the event of last year, which was held
August -. 1t is very apt to fall on Satur
day.
1t is almost too early to discuss prizes
There are three championship trophies
presented by The Evening Star. the Post
and Dr. Mason. These are held by outside
clubs. two of them being In Baltimore and
the third in Philadelphia.
Capt. Franklin Moore of the Analostan
Boat Club has not picked out any of the
crews. The active boating season will
hardly begin before the middle of the
month. There are a number of new men,
beers who are likely to furnish excellent
material. Last Sunday the club had four
and a gig out. Had the club accepted the
challenge of the Naval Cadets, there would
have been several crews on the Eiver before
this. In order to keep up the interest in
the club Capt. Moore has practically de-
cided to give bi-weekly club regattas This
will not only keep the men in training, but
Will promote healthy growth in the club.
President Powers to Umpires.
President Pat Powers has the right idea
He has issued the following significant in
structiols to his Eastern League umpires:
Do not stop at the same hotel with the
players.
Do not talk back to any spectator during
the game When you do, it must be in the
event of somebody having used profane
language or offered insult. In that event
nave the offender elected from the ground
without any argument
Allow TO player other than the captain to
leave his position to dispute a decision un-
der penalty of fine. In fact, no PLAYER other
than the captain has the right to question
your decision
You will consider all assignments as CON-
ndehtlaI' as circumstances night make a
Change necessary at very short notice.

ping in each city

ing mA
