is in the lead across the line. so when
oarsmen say they expect their crew to
make a fine showing they mean TO convey
that they are winners. The crew 10

working captain, Mr.. Karl Mueller. They
have got back to the good old idea Of row.

thirty-six all the time. and are putting

which sends their boat along at very
fast pace.
The stroke OF the crew is Mr.. q. A. Bell.
who formerly rowed at Cornell with his
class crews. and he is as steady as a vet.
eran and uses his head to advantage while
working. hence the kids" are fortunate
IN having such good man in the boat.

The second event locally will be the COM
Ing of Mr. Pat a. Dempsey TO assume charge
OF the rowing men OF the Potomac Club, TO
prepare them for the big national regatta
at Baltimore The men have all been or
dered to report by Capt Mueller at the
house on wednesday. July ., and II Is ex-
pected that Coach Dempsey will have Il
fine squad from which TO make his selec-
lions for the crews that the club will enter
at the regatta. 1t is expected that they will
want to send two eight-oared crews and
also the new-fangled octipede, the last be-
ing new class of scullers and which will
be recognized by the National Association
for the first time this year. 1t is eight scull-
ers. rugged up In an eight-oared shell When
properly boated a crew of this class can
eclipse any ordinary eight-oared shell crew
in existence. They literally fly through the
water.
Among the members of last years crew
w wi ha
Messrs DuGanne, Bliss, Barber. Thomp-
son. Scott. Mueller and McGowan. while
there will also be Britt Chase. Herman.
Haneke. Moore. Suffer- DAILY, Redfngton,
Sherman, Ourand. Hecox Heth, Harralson,
Gordon and the junior crew named above.
This makes very good field for, Capt.
Mueller to get together, and Dempsey will
have his hands full getting the men sifted
down to fill the requisite number of seats.
Our neighbors in Baltimore will hold the
Patapsco navy regatta next Saturday af-
ternoon, and there will be large number
of Washington visitors go over TO witness
the sport. The rivalry between the Ariels
and Arundels is very bitter, and the sew
eral races VIII be contested with blood in
the eye. Mr.. c. X. Zapponi will referee
the races
There was not many shells out from
the Analostan house last week as there
has ever possessed such fine array of
Junior oarsmen as this popular and excel
lent club is now carrying on its roll There
should be more of the get-up-and- get-a-
move-on-you among the Analostans. They
have everything to make them happy. They
have the best house on the river. They
have plenty of boating material, and they
have the men, so II seems a pity that they
do not enjoy the fruits of ali this by get
ting out crews TO meet all corners. Mr. l..
A. Fischer is as fine coach as they could
procure from the ranks of any club and
he unselfishly devotes his time to instill the
science of rowing into the minds of the
juniors
''Will Vesper win at the Henley?' Is the

minds of ALL Many of Englands best crit

while others still adhere to the argument
that 1T will be impossible for the fast
American stroke to do Leander over the

rowed this week
