All the larger colleges booked to partici- pate in the annual rowing regatta are turning attention to the conditioning of their crews and with the coming of May track athletics will take on new life The baseball season of the major leagues has progressed far enough to permit the followers of this popular sport to size up the chances of their favorites in the pennant race and the yachtsmen will break their sails to the early May breezes.

Both horses were en- tered for the Gold Cup.
