PROSPECTS OF THE
HENLEY AT PHILADELPHIA

Americas intercollegiate and club rowing
season will be inaugurated next Saturday,
with the fourth annual regatta of the Amer
lean Rowing Association on the Schuylkill
river, Philadelphia. This regatta, known
as the American Henley because the course
is the same length as that at Henley. Eng
land will bring together representatives
from Harvard, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and
Yale. from the college world, together with
a host Of the strongest club crews that
can be gathered in the whole east. There
will also be good entry list from the va
rious schools. SO that this regatta. al
though only the first of the year. promises
to be bigger affair than some of the more
pretentious affairs later In the summer.
In spite of the fact that the club crews
will outnumber those from the colleges, the
latter will be the real feature Of the re-
gatta. The university oarsmen are always
a great attraction. and because there will
be 50 many on hand this time their races
win be doubly interesting. Harvard thinks
SO well Of this regatta that the Crimson
will send down two crews instead of only
one, while Pennsylvania will be out in force
with three crews. Harvard will have one
crew in the race for junior college eights
and the other In the open event for second
Fights. Pennsylvania will enter crews in
both Of these events, and will also have
out an eight-scull crew. the first ever Or
ganized by any university.
Syracuse University will be on hand this
year for the first time. The Salt CITY oars
men are making this their premier sport
and propose to keep at Ii until they can
muster crews every year as good as those
turned out by Cornell. There is very Bit
ter rivalry between Cornell and Syracuse,
and the Syracusans are sore that Cornell
will not row this year.
The University Of Pennsylvania has or
ganized an octopede crew to give this sort
of racing thorough trial. An effort was
made this year to secure a centfpede race
for the Poughkeepsie regatta, but Syracure
and Pennsylvania were the only universe
ties which agreed to develop such crews,
and the project had to be abandoned II
the race Is proved a success by the Penn
sylvanians, 1t will doubtless be tried else
where shortly.
All of the club entries are now in the
hands Of the stewards. and they are said to
be greater than ever before. This regatta
Is gaining favor every year. and at Its pres
ent rate of development it will be necessary
for the stewards to devote two days to the
races In a year or so.
In order that all the races may be run
off promptly the stewards have arranged to
have two referees, SO that there shall be no
delays between events. Because of the
dispatch with which the races are run or
and the splendid facilities for the crowds
there will undoubtedly be an attendance OF
$1,000 persons. This Is the only regatta in
the country which brings out such big
crowd.
On the day preceding the american Hen
ley at Philadelphia the Harvard and
Cornell varsity Fights will compete In
two-mile race at Cambridge The two met
last year and Cornell beat Harvard by
nearly eight lengths

championship for his corps.
The Philippine Base Ball League was or
ganized in the year 1902 with teams repre-
senting all branches of the military sery-
fee. The championship pennant for 1902
1903 was won by the army team, for the
season of 1903-1904 by the quartermasters'
team and for the season just closed by the
Marine Corps team. The accompanying

ATHLETES OF
THE COLLEGES
Field and Track Meet to Be
Held in the Harvard Stad-
ium Next Friday.

The real climax to tho track and field sea-
son In the eastern colleges will come next
Friday and Saturday. when the thirtieth
championship meet of the !. C. A. A. A. A.
will be held In the Harvard stadium at
Cambridge. That this meeting will be the
greatest on record is indicated By the rec
ord-breaking entry list of nearly 800 men.
who represent all of the big universities and
colleges Of the east and the splendid per-
formances which have been made IN the va
rious dual and other meets this spring. In
fact, new intercollegiate records are looked
for In more than one event.
But what adds so much interest to this
meet is the fact that four of the big univer
stiles win enter II practically on even ,erms
and each with fair assurances OF success.
These are Harvard. Yale, Pennsylvania and
Cornell. Every one Of these institutions ex-
poets to win. and the fight is sure to be
sensational one. There have been previous
meetings In which two or three of the coll
leges competing were thought to be on even
terms. but never a year in which four and
possibly five were known to have chance
for the first honors. What makes the VIC
tory the more uncertain is the fact that the
small colleges, several of which are ex-
tremely strong this year, are virtually sure
to cut into the points of the leaders. And
the team which Is hit the hardest is bound
to lose, although In a dual meet it might
be able to triumph over the victor. This is
one of the features which lends interest and
excitement the meet.

Troubles Of the Pool Rooms.

The Pinkerton men at Belmont were kept
on the jump all the time to prevent the
pool room people getting information from
the track. The latest capture was made on
Tuesday when two men were caught using
flash signals from the lawn by means Of an
improvised heliograph. On that day Mintia
was flashed away as the winner OF the first
race, instead of being placed third. The
delay and uncertainty In getting informa-
ton has caused the patronage of the rooms
to fall away by so per cent.
