PoToMAcs, NEW HOME.
The Club Decides to Locate Near the
Present Home.

The Potomac Boat Club at its meeting
Thursday evening decided without dis
senting vote to locate its new home In the
neighborhood Of the present structure This
decision means that In the future all OF the
open regattas held in this city will be rowed
over the same stretch of water that has
been used for the past twelve years, and
held by many to be the superior OF any In
America. The controversy over the loea-
ton Of the boathouse of this club has nat
urally attracted considerable attention In
this vicinity as. being the one organization
that fosters and promotes regattas, nearly
every one was somewhat Interested Strong
argument was made to get the club to go
down stream and place It's house inside the
mouth of the tidal basin, and the officer In
charge of public buildings and grounds. Col.
Bromwell, was anxious to see this accom-
plished. The committee looked at the mat
ter in every light, and as no inducements
could be laid out for the erection OF bridge

With all indications that the games will
surpass anything of the sort attempted in
this city in the past all arrangements have
been completed for the eighth annual field
and track carnival Of the Georgetown Ath-
letic Association at Convention Hall this
evening.
A corps Of laborers went to work at the
hall this morning and before noon the cor
ners had been placed in position and the
seats are now being arranged for what
promises to be a record-breaking attend
ance.
Georgetown, Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins,
George Washington and nearly twenty-five
other colleges. universities, schools and
clubs of the east have entered their best
men. which brings the lise Of entries to
nearly five hundred.

The American League outdrew the Ma
tional by over 3S5,000 admissions and made
a gain in total attendance of between &c, 600
and 81, 600 over 1904. The National Leagues
attendance figures fell off about 10000 dur
Ing the year.
The old league was the only base ball or
ganiZation in the country to show falling
off in attendance last year. Some critics
attribute this to the presence Of the three
Joke" clubs-Boston, Philadelphia and ST.
Louis-in the circuit
The total attendance figures in the Ma
tional League were 2, 1874, $40; in the Aneri-
can, 3,120, T52.

Despite the fact that a numerous company
of new players were added to the roster OF
the major league ball clubs since last sea-
son. 1t will be found that the array in both
leagues in more than one case will be SUD-
stantially the same as last season.
The Boston Americans are almost iden-
tically the same team as last season. The
only substantial change made by the Ath-
letic champions is on third base, Lave Cross
being transferred to this city. Chicago may
make changes in the outfield, as Callahan
has given out that he will not be with the
club this year. Cleveland will have almost
the same array.
Washington has been strengthened by

son

but his in and outfields are the same as last

the Pittsburg team are Pitcher Willis and the
new first baseman. Joe Nealon. Chicago is
essentially as IL was last season, with Stein

who gees to Brooklyn.
Cine matt has new manager in HanIon
and an excellent adjunct to the pitching de-
partment In Weimer, last season with Chi

Closkey, and many new faces, including
many aSpirantS for fame as pitchers and in
felders. Brooklyn ought to be better than
1t was last season. Boston is slower in
bringing its team to completion than any OF
the sixteen, but there is ample time to fill
gaps between the present time and the
opening of the season. April -
The following is the makeup of the clubs
at the present time:
