GEORGETOWN'S CREWS
ROUNDING INTO FORM
Dempsey Keeps the Men
Hard at Their Work.
SECOND BOAT DOES WELL
Blue and Gray oarsmen Working Well
Together and Winning Crews
May Be Developed.

Coach Pat Dempsey. of the George
town crew. is working the candidates
hard these days. and hopes to have
two winning crews by May %. when
Georgetown's varsity and second crews
meet the Annapolis cadets on the
Severn River. Since the first OF this
month the men have been doing their
work on the river. and at least four
crews have turned out every day for
practice.
The shells which were used by the
crews for the past four years. and
which have been stored In the George
town boathousc at the foot of Thirty
second Street. have all been taken of
the shelves and put into commission
Georgetown new she'll is expected 10
arrive here some time this week The
builders say 1t viii be the superior Of
any boat made for Georgetown and will
cost $500
Russell Does Good Work.
Kerns. the big man who stroked last
years crew, is out every day and is
good for d position in the front part
OF the she'll this year Capt Murray
Russell. who headed the crew last year
and was favored with reelection to the
captaincy. is showing up in better form
every day; Sheppard is another good
man and viii IN all probability make
the varsity crew. AtChisOn practices
daily. and is regarded as more than a
probability. Curran. OF the law depart
ment. has worked hard since he turned
out and is improving with each days
practice.
Rorke. who -owed in such admirable
form last year. is safe for a seat in the
she'll this wear. Charlie Seitz, Bremner
and several others are also showing up
well. II is expected that Coach Demp-
sey will pick out the eight men he Will
row on the varsity crew within few
days. After all Of the men for the first
second eight Will be picked from che
remaining candidates who were not
strong enough for the varsity.
Combinations Tried.
Several good men have been placed in
the boats together with several en-
tried ones. and the combinations are
beneficial to both the seasoned and IN
work harder. and il gives the new can
didatcs a chance TO master the difficult
stroke, which Dempsey has invented
especially for the Blue and Cray crew.
This is the first year that Georgetown
has endeavored TO turn out a second
crew. This year. however. the second
eight viii be almost as fast as the
varsity. because it viii be composed OF
substitutes for the first crew. The
middies have 4 strong second eight,
and Dempsey not only hopes 20 beat the
first crew but tie second also. George
town Is sure to be represented At
Poughkeepsie. as she has been for the
past several years.
It is not known definitely whether the
second eight will be taken there. but
probably 4 freshman four viii be or
gained and carried along with the var
sity
Each day the men are praCtiCing ca

SHERIFF WHITE.
Continued FROM page One.

Mr., Spooner continued by stating the
immense sums the sheriff received. saying
that the fees alone amounted TO 5000 per
annum. or nearly double the sum received
by n justice OF the supreme court. The
speaker asked II the question OF fixing
the salary OF the sheriff came up and IL
was suggested that the salary be made
5000 il would be voted down
Continuing Mr.. Spooner said the sherin
must receive at least 5000 In addition 10
the above and that there were other
sources of income. He thought the sum
OF $500 a little too small, however, ana
would like to see II made 5000.
FAVORED A SALARY.
Mr.. Murphy said that as this was the
only time the house could take any action
on the question of salary of the sheriff
he would state his position. He declared
the whole system as wrong. and that
there was no good reason why the sheriff
of Providence county shouldn't be put
under a salary as we'll as the sheriff OF
the other counties OF the state.
on motion OF Mr.. Mccarthy the house
took recess OF 30 minutes.
The house was called TO order at 2
O'Clock.
Mr. Mccarthy spoke at length and IA
cored the amendment saying that the
fact was we'll known that tho sheriff
OF Providence county was grossly over
paid. The present sheriff. he said, was
IN no way TO blame Tor the state or
affairs that exist; he found the affairs as
they now exist. The speaker said that
II was up 10 the majority to do away
with these abuses and save the money
paid by the state, or n the majority fa-
vored a retention of the present system
that It's hould give a good reason for II.
This system OF constructive attendance.
he declared. was all wrong. He thought
$1,000 was sufficient for the salary.
Mr.. Spooner moved to insert In the
amendment the sum Of $1,000 instead OF
$500 and Mr.. aBrry or Providence second
ed It,
Mr.. Fitzgerald spoke on the matter and
declared that In another year the office
would be held by Democrat and that
the party would have no trouble In find
Ing man TO f1ll the place at $4,000. He
urged the Republicans to get IN out OF
the rain.
A roll call vote was demanded and the
amendment was carried by a vote OF
52 TO IL.
A roll call was then demanded by Judge
Johnson on the amendment inserting ir
the bill the $4,000 for salary OF the sheriff
This was lost by a vote of 80 TO 81.
