POTOMAC RIVER REGATTA.
Senior Eight Dared Race Has Bet
Added to the List Of Events.

In view of the fact that several crack
clubs of the North have stated that il
a senior eight-oared race be rowed in
the coming Potomac River regatta that
they would make entry, the joint COM
mittee yesterday decided to add that
event to the list of races. This will
make a regatta of ten events, and every
one promises to be we'll filed.
With this new race and the Junior
tors and local followers of the sport
will see some of the most spectacular
and exciting rowing ever seen on this
river.
The Dauntless eight. OF New York, has
already made entry, and has sent word
that it is prepared to meet all the
crack crews OF the country, and 1t is
more than likely that the New Workers
will be accommodated.
The senior and junior cared
events are filling well, and 1t Is expected
that there will be at least five starters
in each. outside of the local entries.
Definite information will be received
tonight from Titus as to his decision to
come here and meet Juvenal, Scholes,
Greer, and Demorelli II he decides to
come all the rest will be here. and it
will be the grandest struggle for single
scull supremacy this country has ever
seen.
The committee on soliciting subscrip-
tions is working earnestly, and hopes
to have steadily increasing response to
it's requests for funds with which TO
defray the expenses of the regatta

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The entries for
the national championships. which take
place at Travers Island on September
13, closed yesterday. The entries re-
ceived give every indication that the

their entries. Thomas K Barrett. the
champion weight thrower of the At
lantic Association, and a member of St.
Leos Gymnasium. of Baltimore, has
been entered. Joseph B. Connolly, one
of the best broad jumpers in New Eng
land. has been entered for the running
broad jump.
George Orton, the former f1ve-mile
champion. will not try for that race

the half-mile run. Orton has been
training all summer, and expects to
win the title. If he does it will be ti1c.
first time he has eyer won the haif-mile
With Orton. Mitchell. and George Gray
as contestants, the public will see three
good old timers trying to regain their
former prestige. Jim Mitchell has beer

Southern League Crack Was Said to

But he Seems to Be Slipping Away
His Fine Work Last Week.

| Frank Smith. of the Birmingham, Ala.
team. the crack pitcher in the South
ern League, who. 1t is said, was sign
ed for the local team, but who seem:
to have broken away from Manager l Of
tus, is keeping up his remarkable worl
in the box. In his last three game:
against the best teams in his league
Nashville, New Orleans, and Chat;a-
nooga-he allowed only four hits in tkr
entire series. Four bi:s in twenty
seven innings is phenomenal work-ont
and one-third hits per game. 1t is
far and away the best record ever made
in the Southern or any other league,
and stamps Smith as one of the best in
the business today.
In sixteen-inning game last week
he shut out the opposing nine, 70 o,
winning his own game in the last H.
ming with clean two-oagger And
yet with all this he has not been Sc
cured.
Morrison, from the Same league, was
signed by Chicago, and is thought we'll

and is considered prize even at that
figure. Neither man is in the sane
class with Smith, and with a little Judg-
ment and energy-this second WaddrI.

Billy Madden and his two big pugil-
lists, Gus Rubin and Denver Ed Martin,
are coming home. According to letter
to the New York Sun" the trio will be
back within the next two weeks. They
were in Paris when last heard from.
From that place they will proceed to
Switzerland and then sail for America.
Madden has had rather successful trip.
Both Rubin and Martin, who have ap-
peared in the principal cities of Eng
land, Ireland, Wales, Scotland. and
France, have proved exceptional draw
ing cards. Martins contests in England
against Sandy Ferguson, Bob Armstrong,
and Frank Craig. the Harlem Coffee
Cooler" added to the negro's reputa-
tion, and upon his arrival here he will
be in position to demand matches with
any of the heavyweights. Madden says
that the first thing he intends to do
when he gets back to the United States
will be to look up Jim Jeffries and in
duce the champion to meet either Rubin
or Martin. II the brawny boilermaker
ignores Madden's men, Billy adds that
he will go after the other heavy scrap
peTs and see what he can do in the way
of matches.
George Gardiner, the Lowell middle
weight. intends to direct his attention
toward Tom Sharkey. Gardiner has now
accepted the challenge of the ex-sailor,
who a few weeks ago declared that he
was through tackling heavyweights, and
was prepared to fight anyone nearer
his class. Gardiner says that he can get
to Sharkey's weight and will fight him
for $500 on the outside and the best
purse obtainable. Gardiner adds that he
will be ready to face Shark next

Just why Barney Dreyfuss should feel
himself immune from an American
League raid and why he should get sore
after it has taken place is the question
of the hour. That his team was not
turned upside down a year ago was be-
cause the American wished to make the
National League contest for the pen
nant an uninteresting one.

remaining obligations TO the Baltimore

and there, when Griffith had his mys-
terious talk at the club house. Since
that time neither man has been of use
TO any ball team, and the limit was
reached here. The work of these two
men has affected the others, as often
happens in baseball involuntarily.
