TO REMOVE THE ROCKS.
Campaign Planned Against tn
Three Sisters.

Now that the Potomac Boat Club has
decided to locate it's new boathouse near
the Auueduct bridge. and thereby continue
that section of the river as the point for
all future regattas, the agitation about
the removal of the Three Sisters has
been renewed by the carsmen.
The Star directed attention to this mat
ter several months ago and announced
that congressional action would be asked
for the improvement of this portion of the
river on the ground that as the Potomac
river was destined in the future to be the
Henley of America 1t was right that the
government should emove the obstruction
from the course.
When the middle states regatta was
held here In 1905 the local committee in
charge had a number of prominent con-
gressmen on the launches as their guests,
and it was pointed out that if those rocks
were removed no where in the world
would there be found such an absolutely
fair mile and a half course. and so pleased
were these trainers of the laws that they
unhesitatingly said they would help out
in the way of the necessary legislation
that would effect their removal.
The National Association of Amateur
Oarsmen. which aims to +" 5ter everything

have promised their aid. They will have
petitions sent in from every club borne
on their ranks. asking congressional aid
in the matter.
The District Commissioners will heartily
second the matter. as they realize the
benefit to the city from .-Iese annual re-
gattas and the advancement Oh the river
as a place of recreation for the public
generally. Especially Is this SO of the two

There was something radically wrong

Another officer advances the theory that

This same officer said that If the sur

ways to creating a fund for the mntnte-
nance of athletic sports at both fnstitu-
tons and would remove the scandal that
is caused every year from tickets falling
into the hands of scalpers.

BOOMING NATIONAL
BOWLING CONGRESS

President Meyers Of the City Bowling
Association has given out his first news in
regard to the coming national tournament
to be held in Cincinnati next February.
When seen by a Star reporter Mr.. Meyers
had the following to say about the COM
ing event: THE officers of the American
bowling congress have determined that
the national tournament at Cincinnati
shall be the biggest and best that has ever
been held. Every man connected with the
Congress and Cincinnati Tournament
Company is extending his best efforts to
make this tournament long to be remem-
bered by the bowlers of this country.
The business-like method in which
the Ohio men are going at the thing can
be seen by the way in which they are now
making the alterations to the building in
which the alleys will be placed. 1t Is my
desire to see Washington represented at
Cincinnati by the largest delegation 1t has
ever sent to national tournament.
There is no reason why this city should
not send a larger number of bowlers TO
these events than it has In the past
Right here we have BOWERS that will rank
with those of any city in the country.

AFTERMATH OF THE
SIx-DAY CYCLE RACE

NEW YORK. December l6.-Most Of the
riders who took part in the six-day bicycle
race in Madison Square Garden last week
gathered yesterday afternoon in the cafe
OF the Bartholdi. at Broadway and 23d
street To that hosiery they trmdIed
after the end Of the weary grind Satur-
day night. and the majority slept from ten
to twelve hours. Others were too MUSCLE
sore and nervous to rest. They finally
gave up trying to make the most OF their
first opportunity in a week to sleep un-
disturbed and sauntered downstairs to
talk things over.
The death of Urban Macdonald was
the chief topic OF conversation. He was
popular with all the riders. They quickly
contributed for a floral offering and then
advanced plan for fund to be raised
by subscription among bicycle riders and
sporting men generally for the mainte-
nance of MacDonaids child and for a
monument to him In Woodlawn, where he
is to be buried.
Memorial Fund.
One hundred and ssventy-seven dollars
was subscribed last night by the Ameri-
can riders. and several of them agreed
to act on what viii be known as the
executive committee OF the Macdonald
memorial fund. 1t will consist of R.

ARMY AND NAVY GAME.
Investigation Of the Disposition Of

Army and navy circles of Wash.n yton

management Of the recent foot ball game

the game. and the committees at West
Point and the Naval Academy will be ex-
pected to stand a rigid examination of
what they did with the coveted pieces of
pasteboard that were generally sought
after so anxiously.
Prominent officers of both branches of
the service are at loss to understand
what became of the vast numbers of
tickets allotted for free distribution among
the athletic associations of each branch.
The cabinet officials were almost en-
tirely forgotten. and in some cases the re-
quest of leading members of Congress

the requests for seats this year far ex-
