The Washington times., 1902-10-05

big aquatic event Of tomorrow only
through the indefatigable efforts and
untiring energy of a few members Of
the joint committee and Mr.. John Had
ley Doyle, president of the committee
and of the Potomac Boat Club, and Mr
Claude r. Zappone. of the Georgetown
University Boat Club and of the N. A
A. O.. have almost alone borne the bur-
den of the undertaking. and to them is
due the greatest measure of credit Of
securing the prizes and bringing here sc
large number Of visiting crews.
Mr. E. Richard Gasch. of the Potomac
Boat Club, secretary OF the regatta COM
mittee, has rendered efficient services
in carrying on its correspondence and
in the preparation and arrangement OF
the long list of entries.
The crews which are here from other
men, and the races tomorrow will prove
that they are the cracks" in the vari-
GUS events of the cities they hail from
The holding of this regatta means a
revival of interest in rowing on this
river, and next year will witness a repe-
tition of tomorrow's big event.
Local Crews in Coca Shape.
The Potomac Boat Club .,ill be rep
resented in the junior and the interme-
date singles, junior doubles, junior four
and junior eights, and it is expected
that the old club will regain some of
its lost laurels in at least two OF these
events. Charlie Baker has coached the
crews to good foEp and speed.
Georgetown University will be repre-
sented by junior four and a junior and
intermediate eight. and should on form
win the latter event. Coach Dempsey
has been working hard with his charges.
and believes they will cross the line first
against the crack visitors.
1t is expected that Joe Daily will make
good showing in the junior singles.
He gave up the doubles to row in the
eight.
