THE CENTRALs' CREW.
VIII Have to Meet Some Fast
Scholastic Eights.

some
Scholastic Fights.
The race which the Central High School
crew will enter at Philadelphia July is
the star attraction of the scholastic regat-
ia. Among the entries are the fastest pre-
paratory school crews in the country, and
If the local youngsters expectations are
realized the endre Washington public will
have good reason to share their rejoicing
and be proud of their success. The cham
pionship last year was won by the Worces-
ter CMassD Academy eight in record time.
The New England boys are conceded to be
faster than many college crews. AS they
have nearly all the same oarsmen as last
year, and are said to have shown consider
able improvement on their previous speed
and form. the difficulty Of the Central
crews task can be appreciated. But Coach
HeckoX is much pleased with the progress
of the candidates, and while not expressing
his sentiments publicly, is confident that
the boys chances are good.
Charles d. Young, the manager of the
crew, has been widely known in High
School athletics for three years. He is the
fastest of Washington scholastic sprinters
boy runners in the country at his distances.
In the District championship meet last year
he won the 220-yard run quite handily in
record time and ran second in the 1o0-yard
y
has done the shorter distance two-fifths of
a second faster than the local record but
as this performance was in closed meet
the record did not count. Young was also
a member of the Central High School relay
team, which won the scholastic relay
championship of the United States at Phil
adeIphia last year. The management of
the foot ball was in his charge this sea-
son and he also has command of Com
pany A, High School Cadets.
Captain Philip Ballinger, '9S, is not
newcomer in the field of athletics. Since
1896 he has been an active member of the
Central track team and was also on the
foot ball eleven. Last year Ballinger rowed
quite a good deal, being considered one of
the best oars in the Columbia Athletic Club
He will very probably stroke the Central
crew, in which case the local boys should
pull to victory. The captain rows very
clean, graceful stroke, somewhat similar to
the famous Courtney stroke. When on the
Central track team, Captain Ballinger was
an SS0-yard runner, and gave promise of
becoming a very fast man at the distance
Speaking yesterday of the prospects of the
crew, the captain said that while he did not
care to claim too much. he believes the
men under his charge will make a credita-
bic showing. There are some very good
men training for seats in the she'll" he
sad. "dnd when We get on the river they
should very much improve on their present
form"

Ihe interest in the approaching Washing

President Mcmillan.
As to the final outcome of the contro-
versy Secretary Sullivan said
why the intercollegiate Association
should demand that its athletes be exempt
from registration any more than they are
row, puzzles me. to say the least, for in
the hrst place, We have an alliance with
the intercollegiate A. A. A. A. We give
them the right to hold open meets under
the1r own rules.
SO far as 1 am concerned, I see no rea-
son ia the world why the Amateur Athletic
Union should agree TO the resolution. 1t
would indeed be rad legislation to grant to
the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. this con-
cession and not grant it to the other active
members of the Amateur Athletic Union
and its allied interests. I feel firmly con-
WINGED, however. that the Amateur Athletic
Union. through its board of governors,
should take action at once, and 1 am in
favor of not receding one inch from the
stand taken by Us already. Although 1
am only one member, 1 will use my in
fuence and personally advocate paying no
attention whatever to this demand from
the Intercollegiate A. A. A. A. for the
reason that ii is ridiculous for them to as
sumo for an instant that they can dictate
to the governing body as to what il should
or should not do. If the intercollegiate A.
A. A. had passed resolution demand
Ing that the rule be abolished entirely,
there would have been some sense to it.
but when they assume that they are SO
powerful that they alone can secure ex-
emption from the registration rule, ii is
ridiculous. The Amateur Athletic Union
Is the governing body In athletics, and
will not submit to dictation from one of
its allied members. II 1t did, it would
forever lose the respect of that organiza-
ton. and. in fact. all the other organiza-
tions that now look up to 1t.
THE final outcome Of the whole question.
l think. will be an athletic war; 1t will
mean the formation Of another association.
There are now many that claim the ANA
teur Athletic Union does not fill the bill.
and for that reason an athletic war would
bring lot of people into sport that are not
interested now. OF course, the better asso-
citation would win, and ii would no doubt
be more powerful organization than We
have today.
The registration rule as IT exists today
was enacted by one OF the largest and
most representative meetings ever held by
any national athletic governing body. The
registration committee were intrusted with
the carefully carrying out Of the provisions
of the rule. and I believe each and every
member has tried to do his work."

CREDIT WHERE DUE.

Tn the hurry of recent events in this territory with especial reference to the prompt response of the people to the quota call of Prsident Mckinley scarce time was given to note properly the credits due in particular The confusion has gone with the departure of our brave boys, and calm consider ation may now enter in calculating those credit marks.
 First, always first, prominent and supreme, is the debt of gratitude and honor the territory owes to the men who hesitated not in answering the call. Even though many struggled to be first, and the demand was great ly exaggerated by the supply, this does not take for an instant from the reflection of the gloryof those chosen. Arizona is indeed to be envied because of her record in this war.
 First to respond! First to complete her quota! First at the rendezvous! First at the front! These quick move ments have won for Arizona the rec ognitiom of the United States, and to- day we are reaping reward in the knowledge of duty we'll performed, and in the acknowledgements and en- comiums of the people through the medium of the press everywhere.
 There is a guiding hand in every move of life, a master spirit at the helm in every emergency. Where ne cessity arises there also looms up the man for the occasion Any other man in the same official position might have accomplished as much, and as quickly perhaps as did Governor Mo Cord in bringing about these results. We might say the same of Grant in his conduct of the civil war. of Dewey at Manila The fact stands forth, framed in brilliant coloring that Gcv- ernor McCord rose to the occasion. Night and day he labored hard and earnestly, never tagging, always active and energetic until the train carried away from Prescott the full and com plete response to the call of the coun- try, every soldier waving his adieu to the master spirit, the man of the hour who officially commissioned them to go forward to honor or death for country's sake.
 And so we say that no small, snarl- ing, carping from political or other source can take from Governor Mo Cord his just dues, the reward of merit, won in the first chapter of Ari- zona's connection with the Spanish American war.

NUMBERING REGIMENTS.
They Will Follow Consecutively Those
 of the Civil War

Washington, May 14.-in response to an inquiry, Adjutana-General Cor bin has autographed the governor of Iowa that it had been decided that the new regiments of volunteers or ganized under the presidents recent call will be named in the order of their establishment where the num- bering of regiments raised by the states during the civil war left off. In the case of Iowa there were forty-five regiments of volunteers during the civil war numbered in the order of their organization. Consequently the first regiment organized in that state for serv1ce in the war against Spain will be named the 46th Iowa reg iment of volunteers. A similar course will be followed in the case of all the other states and territories and is in tended to avoid the possibility of em- barrassment and confusion that would have undoubtedly followed a repetl- tion of the regimental designations used during the civil war.

ENGLAND's FOOD SUPPLY.

London. May 1.-The agitation of the subject of the food supply of Eng land has reached point where it has become great national issue. 1t IS now almost assured as result Of the Spanish-Americn war and the scarcity of bread in Europe, that there will be established in this country something in the nature of national granar1es, wherein will be stored large quantities of grain against times of shortage.
 The matter has been talked of for long time, but the cabinet has now ta- ken it up, and some definite action IS likely to be taken shortly to guard the people of Great Britain against fam inc in the event. of war CT other cause that would prevent foreign grain from reaching these shores.

FIGHTING PARSONS.

From all parts of the United States come published reports of patriotic sermons preached on Sundays from pulpits representing all creeds and de- nominations of religion. Many of them are in strict keeping with that form of mildness generally supposed to be an attribute of religious service. Many of them breathe fiercely of war, and in tflsse we note that the admoni- tion of the Prince of Peace has been given a retired prominence
 All this has a strong tendency to bound to emerge upon the platform that human nature is the same the ] world over, garb the outside form as we may.
 Given a parson who breaches and prays well the chances are many to enc that with opportunity he would demonstrate that he could fight equal ly we'll. Today there exists no good reason why a preacher should not express his feelings even to the ut most limit with reference to the war in progress between the United States and Spain. Every humane feeling has been for years violated and trampled upon by the Spanish fiends in power over the weak and helpless. Every possible effort has been tried to amel- iorate or to end these inhumanities, and every effort has resulted in in creasing the miseries of those whom it was sought to aid, until all of Chris tianity has aroused itself Ministers of Christ represent the fountain head Of Christianity. Therefore we believe it beautifully consistent that ministers should not only lift their voices in oratorical patriotism, but still con- sistent for them to become, if so they desire, the bearers of the sword and gun to aid in relieving tha oppressed
 In our last civil war we had many illustrations of the effect of battle on regimental chaplains, and in nearly every state in the Union, especially at times of veteran gatherings, one may hear thrilling stories of the fight ing abilities of Rev. White, or Rev. Brown, or Rev. Jones, always pre- luded with the statement that i've called him the fighting parson,' and this always spoken in tone of affection and endearment.
 These same fighting parsons are not all dead. Many of them came back from the war and quietly slipped into their pulpits to preach Peace on Earth, Good will to Man." their in fiuence and teachings reaching out for gocd away beyond their own imme diate circles. And we take it that their influence lost nothing because Of notoriety gained on gory field, in righteous cause
 That patriotic sermons are appreci- ated is evidenced by the accompanying reports of applause elicited. In time of peace the suggestion of applause in most ediices dedicated to sacred thoughts and sacred speech would produce shock, but in this day and time we learn of no such sequel to the

 But men are slow to believe that over work sometimes kills; man hates to ad- init that his health ever needs any paEticu- lar care.
