The Potomac Boat Club is enjoying a
most prosperous season. At its last
Wednesdays meeting it's already large
membership was increased by the election
of scme fifteen new members. many of
whom have the build and makeup of
oarsmen, and there will be little difficulty
in getting out several very strong crews
for later-on open or ether regattas
1t was decided to hold the first of a
series of club regattas Saturday July
30. The men have been practicing for
some time under competent coaches. and
the event promises to be unusually inter-
esting. not only because the crews are 20
well matched, but because from such a
large, active membership fresh crews
will appear in each event
To add to the interest of the affair the
Columbias and Analostans have been in
vited to enter crews in the junior eight
cared event. This will give the local
admirers of the sport their only opportuni-
ty of witnessing the three clubs in COM
petition.
The club events will include singles,
double working boats. four and eight
cared shells. and swimming races the latter
for members of the club and their junior
relatives and friends.
The committee having the affair in
charge consists of President John Doyle.
Capt. Clarence Conard, Lieuts. Robert
Heth and S. Duncan Bradley, and ex-Cap-
tain r. Douglas Sims. At the last meet
ing Clarence Conard was elected captain
to succeed Douglas Sims. resigned
The new captain rowed in the winning
1897 Cornell crew and is a most valuable
acquisition to the ranks CT the red and
n 1ffa n,Ir
member. but because OF his extended
of the great stroke learned from
Courtney and which has won so many
races. As captain he lends additional |
strength because of his ability to coach
and instruct intelligently his ciubmates-
From the material at hand he will be able
to get out one of the strongest junior crews
the club has had in a number of years. and
if everything goes well it will be entered
in one of the annual northern Labor Day
regattas.
The rowing element in the club is now
so numerous that there are not half enough |
boats and shells on hand to carry all who |
apply for seats and the management il |
casting its eyes about for available good |
craft.
Lunsford is keeping up his good work |
and filing No. seat very nicely. and with |
Heth at No. 6. Stroke Conard has good !
the bow are in good hands.
There is another eight in practice which |
promises to give the big crew quite a LOT /
of work to keep ahead on regatta day. |
and this crew will have either Blunt or
Britt TO set the stroke.
Eastern Athletic Club.
The Eastern Athletic Club baseball team /
is playing the same gingery game now that |
it started out with early in the season and !
promises to duplicate its wonderful record |
of last year. when it lost only two games. |
one each with the c. A. c. and the walk |
aways" The team has been under the |
very capable direction of E. V Rice, tr,
for two years and much of its success may
be attributed to his clever management
During his management the team has
played up to this time sixty games and
the two named above are the only defeats
marked against it.
From this the management may Justly
claim the amateur championship of the
District. The E. A. C. now leads by a fair
margin the other teams in the District |
League, and with the Bureau OF Engraving
and Printing team out of the way for the |
present. this winning lead will no doubt /
last for sometime TO come. Later on the /
Bureaus will again come in for a series |
with the Easterns. by whom the opening
series was easily taken The defeat of the
Money Makers on July { was so decisive /
hat there now seems little doubt as to the
superiority OF the boys from Capitol Hill.
The team is strong in all departments of
ielding, batting. and base-running and it
S believed to be the only nine in the Dis
.rict League which use code of signals
n batting and base-running
The teams which have met defeat at the
lands of the Easterns are: The High School.
