Midsummer finds amateur athletics in
nearly all lines in a comatose state.
This is the season when track and field
sports hereabout are given a decided
rest. AT Georgetown University and at
the academies and at the Y. NJ. c. A.
such sports close with the spring games
here and in this vicinity.
In New York city, where the large
number Of clubs are called upon to pro-
vide athletic features for big picnics and
other outings, there are constantly n
number OF meets in preparation for
which the track and field men are al
ways in shape.
Golf at Ocean City.
Golf and tennis are being played right
along at the local clubs but there are
no matches or tournaments to interest
the admirers OF the sport. The only af-
fair in this line in prospect in which
local players are interested is the Ocean
City Md Club tourney, to be held Au-
gust Z, 5, and g. To this affair the Co
iumbia Golf Club will probably send Dr.
L. Lee Harlan. Mr.. Britton, Mr.. Weav-
er, and one or two others, and from the
Chevy Chase Club will go Mr.. McCannon,
MI. Gray. Mr.. Hayden, and others.
Rowing Interests.
But for the preparation for the mid
summer club regatta, to be given next
Saturday afternoon by the Potomac Boat
Club, rowing in shells hereabouts would
be dead
There is considerable pleasure rowing
and canoeing from both clubs, but with
no out t-of-town races in view there is
nothing which makes il necessary TO put
the shells overheard. The Analostans
have practically stopped for the sum
mer
Duffy ami Georgetown Athletics.
During the past season local athletes
came prominently to the front in several
lines Of sport. The greatest achieve
ment was that Of Duffy. of Georgetown
University, when h lowered the worlds
record for tho ard dash 10 3-5
seconds. on Nay at the intercollo-
giate championship. This record will
probably stand Ter some time TO come.
The Y. N. c. a. track team made o big
showing wherever they went.
The Georgetown baseball team made
such good showing in the college round
of games that by many writer's it was
decided to have won the college cham
pionship.
Its eight-oared crew went to Annapolis
and defeated the Naval Academy crew
by considerable margin. but failed to
make any showing at Poughkeepsie in
the big intercollegiate regatta.
