JAMESTOWN BIDS
FOR NEXT REGATTA

RICHMOND. Va. August 25.-An Invita-
ton has been extended to the National AS
ISOLATION of Amateur Oarsmen to hold the
annual regatta next year at Norfolk. Va,
in connection with the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. A splendid course can be laid out on
the James river, which. above Norfolk, Is
five miles wide and almost still water.
Twice before in the history OF the National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen regattaS
have been held at expositions-in 1876 at the
Centennial exposition. Philadelphia, and IN
1904 at the worlds fair. at st. Louis. In
each instance the regatta was big sue
cess.
Although the south has not been promi-
nent in the national association regattas no
less than seven clubs south of Washington
are members in good standing. The clubs
are: Young Mems Gymnastic R. C, west
End r. c. and st. Johns r. c. OF New Or
leans; Virginia Boat Club of Richmond
Va; Old Dominion b. c. of Alexandra,
of Portsmouth, Va, and Louisville b. I.
of Louisville. KY. New Orleans has been
represented by crews In several of the ma
tional regattas, but no effort has been
made to increase the interest in rowing IN
the south. as the national regatta has never
been held south Of Washington. D. c.
There are many rivers in the south ad-
mirably adapted for regattas, and with the
big annual aquatic event held at the James
town exposition next year the interest IN
the sport would receive much-needed
boom With six months before them the
committee on athletics at jamestown VIII
have plenty of time to work for the regatta,
as the location will not be selected before
the mid-winter meeting of the national as
ISOLATION, which will be held next March.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE NOTES.

In The StaEof Sunday, July %, it was
stated that the season would close August
4, but at the time TIE article was written
the postponed and the protested games were
not in mind, and the season is still in bloom.
II is hoped by every one interested that the
last game will be played the latter part of
this week.
The post-season series. which will in all
possibility be played by all of the winners
of the pennants In the different amateur
leagues of this city. has given amateur
its history. At the present time all eyes
are centered on the Capital City League, as
it is the expectation OF many enthusiasts
that the winner of the pennant in this
league will be one of the strongest factors
represented. This fact Is realized by many
followers Of the other aggregations.
The wind-up Of this season has undoubt-
eddy been the closest since the organization.
In past seasons the st. Stephen boys have
had runaway race. winning two pennants
with good-sized margin between them and
their nearest opponent. This year they will
be satisfied with third place Having so
players careless in the early stages of the
season. and the boys found themselves in
rut which they have been unable to pull
out OF.
Two forfeits occurred last week. On
Tuesday the National A. c. failed to put
team on the field and the Atlantics were
credited with a game. This was an opening
for many rumors. and 1t was said that the
former team was laying down to the At
lantics. A number of National players
were out Of the city, and the remaining
boys claimed that it was impossible for
them to get good team together. The fol-
lowing day matters were evened up when
the Columbia Athletic Club was given a
game over the Arlingtons by the non-ap-
pearance of the latter team.
'Yaw' Davis and Jack" Leonard. who
Joined the minors about the middle of the
season, have returned to the Arlingtons.
and will be seen in that uniform for the rest
of the season. Good reports about their
excellent work come from Mount Holly, N.
c.. where the sclever players had berths.
Their return has put new life into the Ar
lington team.
Arthur Fenton, outfelder for the Arling-
tons. in the absence of regular catcher
volunteered to go behind the bat for his
team, which he soon regretted, as foul
tip caught him on the throwing mitt and he
had to retire from the game. 1t is not ex-
pected that he will be seen in the Arlington
lineup the remainder of this season.
Jack Farrell, who attends to all of the fly
balls in the field to Aloysius. while in an
the government printing office. made what
is claimed to be the longest swat seen on
the printers grounds this season. The
player made a circuit of the bases and
scored the only tally made in the contest.
He is batting at a rapid gait in the league.
Stone, the heavy-hitting left gardener for
the Columbia A c.. is having some trouble
with his eyes. After making the most re-
markable catch witnessed this season In the
game against st Stephens he muffed a ball
that he didn't have to move over three feet
