So torrid did the weather become as soon

of some summer visitors here that lunch on
the sand might be acceptable to bathers. In
that it would ebviate the necessity Of dress

Servants brought down great baskets of
food. which was craved by appetites whet-
ted by a mornings exercise in the cool Of
the surf.
Another development of hot weather was
the inauguration of night bathing In the

that his warmest supporters never dream
ed of as coming this season. He will be q
big factor in the middle states.
Mr.. Robert Kennedy of the Potomacs.
and a member of the winning crew at West
Point last Saturday was called to his home
In Scottsdale, Pa, Wednesday last by the
Illness of his mother. This forced absence
will seriously affect his training.
Ex-Capt. Carl Mueller of the Potomacs
has returned to the city from Arizona.
where he has been prospecting in mining
ventures. The rowing game was too strong
for the doughty oarsman. and be longs to
get back into training.
The eight-oared race between the Poto-
macs of this city and the Virginias of
Richmond, at West Point a week ago yes
terday was the most sensational and I'M
paralleled rowing event ever recorded in
the history of aquatics. One hundred yards
from the start King. the number man in
the Potomac shell, had his lock spread,
which caused his sweep to jump out and
become worthless to all intent and purpose,
but King worked the oar back and re-
sumed rowing. Now. this single instance Is
not remarkable in itself, but during the
race exactly the same thing happened at
least dozen times. and in each instance
the oarsman worked his oar back and re-
he relieved the craft of the burden he was
causing and went overheard thus allowing
the crew to win by scant margin. In
each instance the accident caused the shell
to wobble and get off keel. but the moment
it was righted the boat swung true and
the crew regained its lead though the
sight sickened Coach Dempsey and he could
not see, the finish. There have been in
stances where men have broken their oar
and jumped overheard or remained quiet
and became passengers. but never before
has the oarsman had tact enough to get his
oar back in place and row after so many
mistrals. 1t was wonderful exhibition
of nerve.
A delegation Of the Old Dominions Of
Alexandria came up to the Potomac boat
house recently to see about the junior
four-oared race they understood was on
or going to be put on the program. They
were informed that the regatta committee
knew absolutely nothing about such q race
and there was no prospects that it would
be added to the lists. The Potomacs urged
them to secure gig or an eight-oared shell
and get in line and agreed to help them
in every way possible to get the boats for
the races

The athletic world is slowly awakening
to the fact that the successor to Arthur
Duffey. the first amateur to run 100 yards In
9S-5 seconds. has made his appearance,
says a Seattle dispatch to the New York
World. His name Is Dan ]. Kelly. and
while his name is on the lips OF every Pa
cific coast athlete he Is working in his IA
theirs blacksmith shop at Baker City. Ore.
thinking of the time when he shall meet
the fastest sprinters of the east on the Gin
der path.
Kelly is to be sent to the annual cham
pionship games of the Amateur Athletic
Union. which will be held In Chicago in Sep
TENDER Several plans have been outlined
to take care of his expenses. as he person.
ally cannot afford such trip. One plan is
for the Seattle Athletic Club, the Spokane
Athletic Club and the Mhltonomah Athletic
Association OF Portland. Ore, to combine
and not only send Kelly. but Rex Smith, the
all-around athlete Of the Seattle Athletic
Club. and Carey Of the Spokane Athletic
Club. an overtime man in the 1O0-yard
dash. Carey ran second to Kelly in the race
at the annual championship games of the
Pacific Northwest Association of the ANA
teur Athletic Union recently, when Kelly got
his record Of 8 S-5 seconds.
Will His Record Standp
The Amateur Athletic Union may not al
low the record SlanO, Out the COlO IdClS
are that every rule and regulation required
by the union were complied with. save in
the matter of marking the running alleys
The rules require that they should be
marked by strings stretched. In the case in
question they were marked with white lines
made in the same manner that tennis
courts are marked.
That there was a technical violation of
the rules cannot be denied, but 1t was triv-
ial, considering the fact that there were no
claims of crowding or crossing from one
runway to another. 1t was a clean race,
and four out OF five watches gave the time
as equal to that Of Duffey. The fifth watch
gave the time as 8 %.
President McCabe Of the Amateur Athletic
Union was recently in Seattle, and discussed
Kellys wonderful work. Before he got
through with the Pacific Northwest he came
to the conclusion that otherwise than on &C
count of the technical point Kelly would get
his record.
Says he Can Repeat.
'If the union does not give me>the record"
says Kelly. Il will go out and do it again"

TRICKS OF THE PITCHERS.
By Hugh s. Fullerton.

Nerve is one-third of pitching. brain an
other third. and speed, curves and control
the remaining third. The man with I'M
shaking nerve-the fellow with the courage
to face any situation. who never has an
attack Of "neckerine''-lasts a long time.
but the fellow who pitches with his brain
and whose arm is a mere incidental Is the
one who lasts year after year and keeps on
drawing salary long after his pitching wing
is dead
Clark Griff1th-whose arm Is not dead yet
Dad Clarke. Matte Kilroy. Kid Nichols,
Cy Young and Smiling AL Ortiz are exam
pies of the brainy pitcher. and although
they were stars a generation ago they still
are pitching and probably will be pitching
when our grandchildren are bowling in the
stands. They will be pitching when tho
Waddells. the Reuibachs, the Mathewsons
are done. although Mathewson. wonder
on his arm alone for two years. threatens
to develop into one Of the brainiest Of
Sam Lever and Deacon Phillippi deserve
mention among the brainy ones. although
hardly in the class with the first mentioned
pitchers.
Ball players who knew him admit that
the brainiest pitcher that ever pitched a
ball was Charlie Radbourne. who might
have been pitching yet had he not worn
himself out. body and mind. pitching al
most score of games in succession and
winning pennant for Providence.
Rad was the pioneer of the "slow balr'
and the inventor Of the change Of pace.
1t was he who taught Clark Griffith. his
townie from Normal. ILL.,. to pitch. and
Grit used RAIDS system of slants during
his entire career. They didn't need much
speed. many curves. but both relied on
control on change Of pace. and the pug
cling slow ball. Of which they were past
masters.
Rad also was as tantalizing as Grit Is
today. delaying. washing time. making bluff
throws. and doing everything to make the
batter nervous. They both had balk mo-
ton guaranteed to draw runners away from
first. and each had deceptive motion in
pitching that kept the batter in doubt as to
whether the ball was slow or fast until It
was upon him.
One of the most laughable things I eyer
witnessed on ball field was a contest
between Griffith and AL Setback In Wash

BOW DOWN TO MOST.
Dead Leader EuIogised by Reds
Ashes to Come Here.

Johann J. Most the anarchist leader, who died
on Saturday in Cincinnati. was placed on the
highest pedestal in the gift Of anarchy yesterday
afternoon at a meeting of the International
PROPAGANDA Groups at PI0tz Hall, No. 24O East
SOth street and was worshipped with all their
fiery euIogies. He was declared in so many
words. to have been at once great and almost
endowed with supernatural gifts to spread the
principles of anarchy.
Emma Goldman presided. and in a fiery speech
aroused the meeting to an unusual pitch Of en-
thusiasm She said that Most's body might be
dead but that the great principle OF the group
which he so well propagated'' would live after
him and some day reach the zenith OF his ex-
pectatlons. Then Most viii be glorihed
above the petty horde OF capitalists, and the
poor will live as they never lived before"
Emma GoIdman's speech was followed by
others equally as fiery and enthusiastic as her
own. VI. Ehguelich the groups" philosopher
and writer. delivered what was regarded as
Most's eulogy. He spoke for more than an hour
on Most's work and his Imprisonment for the
cause. August Lott. who IS slated to succeed
Most as the chieftain. also spoke in glowing
terms.
Resolutions were adopted that Most's body
should be brought to this city at any cost Later
in the day a telegram was received from the
group" In Cincinnati saying that the authori-
ties advised against removing the body.
Following out Most's command. the body will
be cremated in Cincinnati. The ashes will be
brought TO this city probably on Thursday The
meeting decided that every member Of the or
gauization which numbers ten thousand should
meet the ashes at the Grand Central Station
and convey them with great solemnity to the
headquarters at No 325 East 18TH street. where

DISAGREE WITH Parker

TBy telegraph to The tribune

Indianapolis, March 1S.-Interviews with lead

including such men as ex-United States Senator
David Turpie, ex-Congressman John E Lamb
District Chairman Risk and others, regarding
the sentiments expressed by ex-Judge Parker in
respect to the South asserting itself in the
Democratic party show that Mr. Parker's posi-
tion has aroused a good deal of feeling and
that Democrats believe the attempt to array one
section against another in the Democratic party
is i'll timed and impolitic.
Mr Lamb declares that sectionaism ought 10
be deprecated by every Democrat and any effort
10 revive It ought TO be condemned. Democrats
he declares. should stand for the same things
East, West. North and South.
The effect Of a Presidential nomination given
TO citizen out Of the seeding states as a
member Of our party" added Mr. Turpie,

the feeling Of sectional hostility so general dur
ing the war period. and the voters OF both sec
ticns and Of all parties would feel the influence
It would be adverse to our success and at this
time would be imprudent and premature

MERCY SHOWN TO MOROS.
Efforts Of Troops to SaUe Women
and Children at Mount DajO.

Manila, March 1S.-Further investigation
shows that many women and children were
saved in the attack against Moro outlaws
Mount Dajo. Those killed were killed at long
range by shell fire.
The attack was delayed six months while
Governor Scott was endeavoring to persuade the
outlaws to surrender. All overtures were scorned
and the defiant attitude of the leaders of the out
laws and the Arab priests persuaded their fol-
lowers that the government would be unable to
dislodge them from their fortress within two
years
Leading Moros, in their desire for the extermi-
nation Of the outlaws aided the troops in the
fight. Two hundred Moros under the direction
Of dattOs carried water to the troops.
The reports Of company and troop comman-
ders TO Major General Wood show that every
effort was made to save women and children.
After the fight was over the general ordered
supplies and assistance for the women and chill
dren remaining alive in the crater.
