HENLEY ENTRIES COMING IN
Regatta on Schuylkill Promises the
Best Quality of Sport.
InterschOIastic Race In which Two
Local Crews Are ERtered Will
BE One OF the Features.
special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Philadelphia, Pa, May 17.-Entries for
the sixth annual regatta Of the American
Rowing Association 70 be held on the
SchuyIkill River on Saturday close az
noon tomorrow.
The rate at which the entries have been
pouring in during the past week conclu-
sively proves the wisdom Of the board Of
stewards in extending the closing date.
The extremely cold weather and late
spring gave all crews, especially the
clubs, an extremely late start. and ali
appreciated the additional time for max
ing their entries. There will be a meet
ing Of the managing stewards about the
middle of the week, when the entries will
be announced.
Rowing enthusiasts everywhere are tax
ing considerable interest in the first ap-
pearance here Of the eight from New
York University, which has a varsity
crew this year for she first time. The
New Workers have dual race OF two
miles with Pennsylvania on Thursday
This viii give them one day intervening
before the American regatta, in which
they are counted on 70 make a good
showing. AS the New Workers have never
rowed either al Poughkeepsie or New
London, every member OF this boat
will be eligible for the junior race. but
no one can object 10 this on account OF
their inexperience.
Yale is counting on winning the Junior
collegiate race. and judging from the
reports from New Haven. this crew is
almost as fast as the one which took
two races last year and broke the record
for the course. Yale had promised to-
send two crews. but at the last moment
Coach Kennedy decided TO concentrate
ali his strength in one boat. Harvard
and Pennsylvania are also primed for
this race. and if the day is warm and
the water smooth. the record is likely TO
be stil further reduced.
It is impossible 10 state until all the
entries have been received Just which
OF the club races will be the feature
The entry list from New York, Philadel-
phia, Brooklyn, and other cities Is well
filed, and every event promises to be a
real race.
This is particularly true Of the inter-
scholastic race, a victory in which means
the American interscholastic champion
ship. There are now five crews in this
event-Cascadilla, n Y, Central High
and Central Manual, this city, and
Georgetown Preparatory School and Nc
Kinley School. Of Washington. D. c. Il
is possible also that one Of the Balti-
more schools viii send an eight. The St.
Johns Military Academy eight, Of Della
field, Wis, which announced its intention
of sending a crew, found it impracticable
10 do so at the last moment because Of
the backwardness Of the season in the
West This crew, however, has promised
TO be on hand next year.

CENTRALIS FAVORITE.
Has Good Chance to Win the
High School Meet.
TECH ONLY OTHER COMPETITOR
Records Liable TO Go by Boards in
Field and Track Games at Kendall
Highest Number of POInts-Dick
Looks Good in the Sprint.

One Of the greatest struggles in the
annals Of athletics in the high schools
viii be seen at Kendall Green tomorrow
afternoon. when the annual neld and
track games win be held. So many good
men are entered In each event that It
would not be surprising 70 see several
new records hung up.
There are but two schools having en-
tries, Central and Technical If there is
any choice at all between the two. Cen
tral looks TO have the call on the past
performances Of her athletes.
ThtaIl, of Technical, looms up as the
most probable largest point winner.
Thtall will win the pole vault hands
down, as there Is no one in the high
schools who can do within a foot OF the
eleven feet he has been doing IN prac-
tice. Thrall is also figured to capture the
century dash and broad jump. although
he viii have some worthy competitors
pltted against him.
Capt Dick, of Central, is a man who
is liable 10 push Thrau for the highest
number of points. Dick is practically
conceded the half and quarter mile runs
and Is entered In the 220 in which race
his best opponents will be Carter, his
teammate. and TEraIl
Clagett In High Jump.
In the mile Zeh and Hildebrand, OF
Central look TO have the best chance, al
though it is rumored that there is a dark
horse at the Rhode Island Avenue School.
Hamilton, of Central should ran away
with the 220-yard hurdle, and clagett,
also from the o street institution, Is q
hot favorite Tor the high jump
The hammer and discuss are not known
10 be claimed by anybody in particular.
although Tech probably has the better
chance in these two events, because of
the fact that she has so many big men.
The shOt-put is also enybody's event. al
though Tweedy. OF Central. who finished
second TO "Cy" Macdonald last year, is
entered. and is a strong contender.
IN the championship one-mile relay
Central has a formidable looking aggre-
cation in Dick, Clagett, Carter, Clancy.
and Egan. The names Of the Technical
team for this event have not been an

AN IMPORTANT MEETING
East Side Improvement AS
ISOLATION Will Discuss St.
Car Service Friday.

Elaborate preparations are being
made for the regular monthly meetfhe
of the East Side Improvement associa-
ton, which will be held Friday even
ing at Young's hall. One Hundred and
First street and Ewing avenue.
The most important topic to come
up for discussion will be the street car
service, which for the last three months
has proven a stumbling block TO the
East Siders. Aldermen Patrick Movpi-
han and John Jones of the eighth and
Alderman Bill Of the thirty-third ward
nave been invited to attend the meet
ing and express their views on the
service. 1t has been customary at all
previous meetings of the Improvement
association to invite officials from the
street car company, but this time no
invitations will be sent to them as the
association prefers to discuss the SER
vice without the presence Of the Of
fCials
Several down town officials have also
been invited to attend the meeting and
1t is expected that several of them will
attend
Conspicuous among the down town
notables will be Chief Justice Harry
Olson, who is well known on the East
Side and who has spoken several times
at various church festivals there
Following the meeting the members
will enjoy a smoker and banoItet
which will be given by the members
of the association.

Walter Raymer Chicago's track ele-

yesterday to go over the grounds on
the east side for the subway at One
Hundredth street. Raymer reported
to favorably on the elevation and it is
more than probable that within the
next year the Lake Shore B. & o. and
Pennsylvania railroads will cross One
Hundredth on an elevation.
The East Side Improvement associa-
ton has been agitating the move a
long time and have called it to the
attention of the city council time and
again.
Its more recent movement in this
direction resulted in Mayor Buses
assignment of Raymer to make an in
Vestigation and gather the facts about
the crossing.
The One IIundreth street, crossing is
one Of the most dangerous in the citv
of Chicago.
The railroads. of course. Will oppose
any action toward elevating as best
they can since the elevation would
mean an enormous expense and pos
sfbly the beginning of an elevation
