The Potomac club win enter an eight-

sides entering r. Reddington in the junior

Local Crews Hard at Work.
The crews are rowing every evening under
the watchful eye Of Coach Pat Demp-
sey, and they are working well. The men
are all in excellent physical condition and
are all anxious to meet 1.-The pick of the
land" The crews have had several very
hard rows during the past week. and have
produced many exciting races This Is es-
pecially true of the Junior and intermediate
crews. which are very well matched. The
rivalry which exists and produces these
daily tests is the same which never fails
to produce fast and winning crews During
the next week. however. the work will be
diminished little, and the men will be
fresh when the starter addresses them
on next Saturday afternoon.
The club has decided that If the Poto-
mac crews acquit themselves creditably
the services of Coach Dempsey Will be re-
tanned in order to keep the men in form.
The crew will in all probability go to the
middle states regatta on Labor day, which
will be held this year the Harlem.
The crews as Coach Dempsey has picked
them and as they will row next Saturday
are as follows:
JunlOfS. intermediate. SENIORS
Stroke. Lnnsford. MCGOWAN ........ .McGowan
Scott scott: 800. Mueller Re,,s ...... Mueller p,,st
Be- Game. C. o"rand. Freeman
shea,ns~ H HsrDe, Edma msfSa
Bow v. ourand. Bocock .......... .Bococt
Cox'n. Ed Haneke. Fred Moore ......-..F F.. Moore
Coach Dempsey is at present drilling
the men on racing starts and spurts and
he hopes to have the crews thoroughly
proficient In these features. Every oars
man realizes that in a boat race the fight
for the lead at the start is more than half
the battle. AS this Is especially the case
In a short sprint the coach has the men
practice starts frequently. Between the
rush at the start of the race and the squirt
at the finish the crews are trained to row
about thirty-four strokes to the minute.
Analostans' Crew Picked.
The Analostans have at last decided upon
their crew. Captain Nevius has had quite
difficult time, 1t Is said inducing the
men to remain In town to row and he has
had an even harder time settling upon the
crew. There has been an important change
in the order of the crew, If not the make
up. Tod Robinson has taken the stroke
seat Garnett at 3. Captain Nevius has
moved back to No 2, while Bourke remains
in the bow
Mr.. Louis H. Fisher has taken the crew
in hand and will be with them every day
the coming week. The men row well to-
gether and In the present makeup have
had some very encouraging spins.
Some of the OarSmen bewail the fact that
they are too late starting in to row and
Captain Nevius seems to have hts hands
full trying to explain to them that it is
their own fault.
Notwithstanding that several letters have
been written to the Old Dominion Club of |
Alexandria no direct news has been re-
ceived from them. Their four-oared crews
Junior, have. however. been rowing rather |
regularly and it is expected that the Old |
Dominion will enter the crew.
On regatta day the Georgetown Univer- |
sity boat clubs launch Georgetown will be |
used as the press boat, while the Bartholdi |
Will be used as 1t was last year as launch |
Tor the clubs special guests. |
