Regatta at West Point, Va.

There will be a regatta at West Point,
proper arrangements are made there will
be plenty of sport for the Washington
oars.nen. The Potomac club has been in
correspondence with the West Point people
and has agreed to give them any kind of
race they desire, elghts. fours and singles. In
the past week NJ. C. w. Hecox, repre-
senting the Virginia Club, was in the city
making all kinds of propositions, but he
desired the regatta to be rowed on the
nth Il date the Potomacs, under their
program for the National and Middle
States could not agree to. as 1t would place
them at a serious disadvantage.
1t is proposed TO have an eight-oared
junior race between the Potomacs and Nir-
ginla a four-oared race with Analostans
and Virginia, a sculling race between
Potomac and Virginia man and match
race between Klare of Arundals of Balti-
more and Joe Daily of the Potomacs, to
settle the race of last summer. which DAILY
won, but on technical point, raised by
Glendon then coaching Klare, was unjustly
deprived of. The Potomacs would also
be willing to meet any picked eight out or
Baltimore for match race. The matter
will all be arranged this week. and the
prospects are good for a small but eXcit-
ing regatta at the historical place.
Plans Of the Analostans.
The Analostans were not much cast down
by their recent defeat at the hands of the

TRINITY PROBABLE WINNER.
Assured Of Marquette
League Pennant.

At a meeting Of the Marquette League
last night at the National Guard Armory
the protested St. Dominic 's-Trinity game
was awarded to Trinity. With this game
to it's credit the Georgetown aggregation
has practically clinched the pennant, as 1t
can lose three of it's four games to be
played and still be at the top of the ladder.
On the other hand, should St. Martins drop
one Of its three games to be played-which
is more than likely it WILT will be hope

The receipts of the Trnity-St. Martins

The South Atlantic season opens April s, two days ahead of the South ern League. with Augusta at Savan- nah, Macon at Charleston and Columbia at Jacksonville. A special from Au- gusta says of the meeting held in that town:
 The extension of the player limit to fourteen men, including the man ager, and the reelection of President Charles W. Boyer, were practically the only features of the annual meet ing of the South Atlantic League di- rectors. which was held here today. The magnates. were in session seven hours.
 The League constitution was revis- ed to conform with the laws of the Ma tional Association and to the demands of the South Atlantic. But few im- portant notifications were made. A uniform price of ladies' season tickets and grandstand seats was adopted and 1t was also decided to poll the rail- road expenses and arrange for each age during the season. The schedule of games prepared by President Boyer was adopted without important change.
 The applications of GreenVille and Charlotte for admission into the South Atlantic were announced to have been withdrawn. These two cities will make another effort next year to become members of the circuit. Director T . T. Talley, of the Columbia, s. C., club, aroused much comment by the an nouncement that his club would make no effort this season to observe the salary limit. He stated that Columbia was the only team that obeyed this ruling last season and it finished bad ly as a result. He endeavored to have

Washington. Feb. 14.-The sudden development of full fiedged filibus-
 tsr resulted today in the Senate when an attempt was made to force the adoption of the conference agree ment on the immigration bill. This report carries provision intended 10 aid in the settlement of the Califor- nia-Japanese problem and speedy ac- tion was desired by administration Senators.
 Expressing sympathy with this ob- ject, yet regarding the report with suspicion on it's points. Senators Ba- con and Tiilman first endeavored to have action delayed until tomorrow that they might study the report. When this was refused the fiilibuster began. MT. Bacon held the floor for two and a half hours. MT. Tillman remarked that he was preparing to make a ten day fight on the floor against the report because he objected to being run over as with an auto mobile.
 MT. Bacon objected that the report changed existing law in respects which he believed on hurried exami- ma tion would deprive Southern States from obtaining even the meagre labor supply from abroad which was avail- able under the present immigration laws 4 truce was declared until tomorrow at the suggestion of Sena- tor Sfooner when the report will again come up for constleration. Adminfs- tration Senators interested In the adop- tion of the report were alarmed by apparent Democratic hostility.
 All of the Democratic leaders when question as to their attitude disclaim- ed the adoption of party policy in regard to the report. and the Senators making the objections insisted that .I ,AII kxrv k- ment of what they thought was an attempt to force imm ediate action. They said that their statements that they had not had an opportunity to examine the report was sincere and that thee were no interior motives involved.
 Senator Blackburn, chairman of the Democratic steering committee was in the Brownsville hearing when the report was called up. He said there , had been no discussion of the report and that he felt sure that there was no disposition to fiilibuster against it beyond carrying 1t over until tomor- row
 Senators Bacon and Tillman made 4r Mar statements. They agreed chat the restriction of immigration provided in what is failiarly known as the rJapanese coolie clause" If of great importance, They would not say what their attitude would be, nor whether they favored Q party confer | ence concerning it. It was made 1 plain however, that they would con- | slider the report over night and then l if the question proved to be one on l which it was advisable to hold a con- 1 ference the party will be called to- gether tomorrow.
