RESENTED BY The POTOMACS
NOT LIKELY TO SEND CREWS TO
RICHMOND REGATTA,

The Virginia Boat Club Of Richmond
has written to some of the officers Of the
local rowing clubs announcing that 1t is
regatta early in July and expressing the
desire that the clubs of this city cooper
ate to make the affair a success.
The Virginia Boat Club, by defeating
the Analostans OF this city twice last sum-
mer. gave new interest to aquatics. The
effect has been to revive and bring the
sport III Virginia up to the position II
held in 1883, when the Virginia Rowing
Association was power in the state. in
cluding clubs from Richmond. Norfolk.
Portsmouth, Fredericksburg, Petersburg,
AIoSsndra and Charlottesville.
What the local clubs will do is only
guesswork now, as the regatta is too far
off to make any definite pledges, but
among the controlling committees Of the
Potomacs there is deep feeling of reluc-
tGnce tc sending any crews, owing to the
shabby treatment accorded them last year
by the Virginia Club and its agents.
II Is not known what the Analostans
will do in the matter.
OF course. II there Is a regular series of
races arranged. senior, intermediate and
Junior classes, there may be some con-
sideI alton given the matter. but II 1t is
arranged just to suit the crews that the
virginias have, then there will be some
s,de-stepp.ng.
Capt. Carl Mueller says the date named
Is too ,iy, as the Potomacs will be
busy with the Fourth Of July affair at
Phila de.phia to think of Richmond and
he thinks they, the Virginians. should hold
It in AlgIsl.

AVERAGES NINE HIGH NE
CHURCH BASE BALL LEAGUE.
Meeting Of the Governors Will Be
Held Friday Evening.

President F. A. Carpenter has issued
his call for the first regular meeting of
the governors of the Church League of
base ball clubs of the District.
The meeting will take place at Presi-
dent Carpenters home. 620 9th street
northeast, next Friday evening. and the
following churches will send representa-
tives to participate. Bethany Baptist.
First Methodist Protestant, Waugh
Chapel, Rhode Island Methodist and the
Ninth Street Christian. 1t is probable
that some others will seek admission.
There will be an election of officers, the
appointment of committees and the
adoption of new rule in regard to the
schedule of games.
President Carpenter is strong in the
opinion that more stringent rue will be
laid down in regard to the eligibility Of
players, and that the mistakes Of last sea-
son. the indiscriminate scramble for play
ers who had no connection with the
churches they were playing with, will be
prevented and scandal avoided.
The various managers of last year are
all in line, and each claims that his team
will be stronger next summer than ever
before. and each is confident of winning
the pennant.
