ALREADY PLANNING
FOR NEXT SEASON
Talk in the Local Rowing Or
PLANTATIONS of Prospects :
for 1907.

The prospects of rowing on the Potomac
river for next year is the one theme that
Is now uppermost in the minds of the men,
bers of the two local clubs, Analostans and
Potomacs, and if one may form conclusions
from the gossip, it promises to be superior
to the one just passed over. The success
of the Potomac Club during the season was
very gratifying to the organization, as 1t
won two eght-oared contests, West Point
and Middle States, and Daily, the single
sculler, landed two prizes, defeating a big
field of juniors at Peoples regatta of Phila-
delphia and Klare, the Arundel Boat Club
sculler, at West Point, making four trophies
for the club house, though the scuiling one
at West Point has not yet been given to
the victor. The success OF its Junior crew
will necessitate the formation of an en-
tirely new one, and already steps are be-
ing taken to get them together this fall
for preliminary work.
Some Potomac Material.
1t is expected to enroll some fine material
to help out in this move. but there are at
hand Kennedy, who rowed at West Point;
DR.. Hayden, who was called away from
training in August; Canario. also Of the
West Point crew; -Bocock, tinney, Davis,
Reed, Underwood, Harrison. Beck. formerly
OF University of Pennsylvania; Evans. Ed
monston, and Slocum-~This makes a good
field to pick from, as with one or~two ex-
ceptions the men have all had some expert
ence in handling sweeps, but so many have
expressed desire to join the club that the
officers are confident they will obtain a
crew equally as good as the winners OF
this year. They will also have German In
the junior SOULS, whose mishap at AQue-
duct Bridge kept him from winning this
season; Davis, Herman, Hanecke and Bell.
Daily will represent the club In the inter-
mediates, as will also MCGOWAN, and there
is considerable talk of organizing double
sculling crews for all times The interme-
date eight will probably undergo some
charges for the crews betterment, SO 1t
would appear that Potomac chances tor 1901
are bright
Promising Analostans.
Over at the Analostans there is even more
interest shown, as since the Middle States
crews have been on the water every day
and the spirit of go-ahead is paramount.
They start out well, for they will retain
completely the fast and scrappy junior
eight that pushed SO hard Potomacs when
record time was clipped many seconds. The
work of this crew has awakened the Ana
lostans to the fact that had they had
Plaisted for a month or more there Is no
telling what would have happened. and
they intend next season to get to work as
soon as the ice clears out Of the river and
make play for all the 'regattas held in this
immediate vicinity. That this is the inten-
ton was shown last week when they had
Glass, the boot builder Of Philadelphia,
come down here to make an inventory of
racing material. to repair all the old stock
and to look up the purchasing Of new ma
terial. The loss Of their new eight-oared
shell on adelaide Rock in August will
make 1t absolutely imperative that they
buy a new boat. and there is no doubt this
step will be taken at once. They will also
endeavor to get out all the junior material
this fall in order to get them in line for
next spring, when the work begins in ear
nest. Mr.. A. NJ. Nevrons will represent the
Analostans In the junior SOULS. while
others may come forward to make up with
him q junior double crew.
The clubs are both anxious to ascertain
the whereabouts Of the national regatta
for the next season. whether 1t goes to
Philadelphia or to the jamestown EXPOSE
ton, but the fact will not be made known
until early in the year. Either place would
please the orga nizations. though If James
town is selected II would mean in all prob
ability no Potomac River regatta, as II
would be very difficult to get the crews
twice in a season, and without representa-
ton from New York or Philadelphia a re-
eatta would be failure. II the regatta
goes to Philadelphia then the Potomac
River regatta will be held as usual in 1907.
