one.
While there IS not as much material
from which to select a track and neiu
team as there was several months ago.

Adam Johnson IS back in the game
again and has almost conquered the dou-
double turn in throwing the hammer. He
Is adding feet TO his former distances
by the now almost universally used meth
cd of delivery. Il may interest local ham,
mer throwers to know that Fanagan's
last and best hammer throw is l5S feet
4 1-2 inches. worlds record.
Speare is keeping up his work IN the
sprints and il would not surprise his club
mates If he did the 100 yards in easy ten
seconds or better.
The interest in rowing is still as great
as ever. and several fours and eights
and all the pleasure boats are out on
the water every evening.
The coming triangular race which, by
the way. will not affect the sanding OF
the men in any way. as the crews will
be mixed or picked, Is drawing 10 the
boathouse large numbers of the members
every afternoon. and it looks like old
times there. August 13 will be a big
day on the upper course.
II was at first intended that the G.
A G. Juniors would row against the
best eight the Potomacs could get out.
| and then the winners were TO row
picked AnaloStan crew. This would seem
impracticable. as the winning crew would
| have to row two hard races wSsh only
a short rest between. II Is not an open
regatta In any way
The crew which Lieut.. Hecox will enter
! in the big race will be the Junior crew.
| which made such an excellent show
| ing on Potomac regatta day, and will
row: Hecox, stroke; Tallmadge Z;
Blandy. 6; Hunter. >; Van Mater, 4;
| Fowler. 3: Maize. 2; Began. ]. with
! Midge Ross as coxswain. 1t is a rafting
good crew and one which. if it is sent
10 the Middle States, will render good
account of itself. II is strong. husky and
| full of motion. The crew Is nov in train
inc.
Maize is keeping up his good work in
| No. seat. Norwood has returned from
his trip to New York. and viii take
up his work at once. Hunter is one of
the regulars and his steady work Is
| showing its good results in the cleverness
! of his rowing.
| The Terror double is doing lots OF good
| for the new men. Ii has long been
| a good training ship
Joe Bradley Is new member of the
| c. a. c.. and will probably row in the
| crew which will be sent TO the Middle
| States. He will OF course, not row
against the Potomacs in any local races
| He will be valu&ble addition to the
| already strong crew.
AnaIostan Boat Club.
| On account OF the lateness of the sea-
son there will be some difficulty in getting
| out a crack mixed eight to represent the
! Analostan Boat Club to row in the tri-
| angular race with the other two clubs
next Saturday afternoon. In order TO get
| out a crew that will anywhere near ap-
/ proach the A, B. standard. several of
the members who had arranged for their
vacations have put them off until after
| next Saturdays race.
The crew which will row against the
Columbias and Potomacs on next Satur-
day will be chosen from among the fol-
lowing: Moore, Clagett, Howard. Bradley.
Perry, Leet, Burke, Whelpley and Chand-
Ter, with either Fischer or Lewis cox
swain. From among these a snappy.
gingery crew can be selected. and all are
| working hard to get into shape SO that
| the best possible showing may be made in
| what promises TO be one of the most in
! teresting events of the rowing season.
Ross Perry may be selected for stroke,
a seat which he has satisfactorily filled
in a number of very exciting contests
notably in late Potomac River regattas
To his strength and skill he adds cool
ness and Judgment. all of which go tC
| make up a good stroke oar.
Sam Luddon would have been given one
of the seats In the eight, but business
engag agements will keep him off the river
this season. He would be a big help tC
the crew.

but was not in rowing there.
whats become of Bradley" was ask
ed in chorus from the float on Thursday
evening: she hasn't been down since the
Potomac's regatta. Is it possible ht
is taking practice somewhere for a scul
race with Won Dachenhausen, whom ht
is anxious to meet?''
The eight does not monopolize all the
attention of the members. and each af
