late this afternoon personally denied
the statement which is printed in many
cities to the effect that Frank H.
Hitchcock has been finally selected by
him to be recommended to the sub
committee of the national Republican
committee for appointment as CHAIR
man of that committee. The secretary
says that he has made no selection as
yet nor does he expect to do so until
he has had an opportunity to confer
with the sub committee, thereby re-
peating a statement which he had for
merly made, and which he regards as
entitled to credence Mr.. Hitchcock

pected to return tomorrow. Sec. Taft

President Roosevelt. He was smiling
as he left Sycamore Hill, and appeared
to be much pleased over his talk with
the President. After the conference
at Sycamore Hill. Mr.. Kellogg called
on Secretary Loeb at the executive
offices in Oyster Bay
Mr. Kelloggs trip to Oyster Bay was
made unannounced. His absence from
the Standard Oil hearing, however, oc
casioned some remarks, and it was be-
lieved that the business responsible for
his non appearance was connected with
the national craftsmanship.

welcome news that the driving club will
again be on the grand circuit with it's
usual early closing events. and later with
its regular class races. The pleasantest
part of the announcement is not only the
fact that the beautiful Kenilworth track
will be on the harness map. but that the
meeting will be conducted and managed
by a secretary in whom the horse public
has perfect confidence.
When the driving club Of Buffalo was
reorganized early In the year by the cleo

of the management would be carried far
enough by the selection of secretary
whose knowledge of the harness sport
would he of a grand circuit standard and

new member of the association. This is
now no more of guess. as. happily.

Being the first eastern meeting of the
season, Buffalo is expected to draw the
largest number of horses and horsemen
to its races and thus help others which

CRACK SCHOOL CREWS.
Scholastic Championship to Be De-
termined at PHILADELPHIA.

For the first time in the history of anna
teur rowing in this country the inter-
scholastic championship will he settled.
The stewards of the American Rowing
Association. whose annual regatta is to
be held at Philadelphia May %. have al
ready received the entries of six
scholastic crews for this regatta and since
they comprise the best school Fights in
the country the race will carry with 1t the
interscholastic championship. The crews
which have entered to date Stone
School of Boston, Cascadilla School of
Ithaca. \. Y; the Tech High School and
Georgetown Preparatory OF Washington.
and the Central High and Central Manual
Fights of Philadelphia. 1t is expected
that two or three other school Fights will
enter their crews. but whether there are
other competitors or not this race will
bring together the finest collection of
gatta.
The development of interScholastic row.
ing is right in line with the objects for
which the American Rowing Association
was formed. Its primary purpose was to
furnish a regatta in which the college
and club oarSmen could compete together
and also to provide the means for the
second crew men of the colleges to enjoy
profitable competition. which in the past
they had not had except when they earn
ed seats i'm the varsity boats. 1t was for
this purpose that the junior collegiate race
was put on the program.
The regatta this year is bound to be
more popular than ever with the college
crews. for already eleven different uni
versity Fights have entered for the va
rious events. Harvard and Yale haNe en-
tered two crews each, Pennsylvania four,
and Georgetown, Columbia and New York
University one each There is also Il
probability that Cornell will send a junior
eight. In any event this regatta will rank
second only to the Poughkeepsie races.

HARVARD MEN AROUSED.
Threatened Curtailment of Intercol.
legiate Sport.

III seems that some new athletic crisis
must develop at Harvard on an average
or about once month. Just now the
undergraduates are up i'm arms preparing
TO presen; TO the faculty several hundred
yards of petitions against the threatened
curtailment OF intercollegiate sports. The
students are thoroughly aroused and are
saying all manner of unkind things about
the faculty.
To outsiders the situation is little short
of laughable. for ii is most unreasonable
to suppose that the Harvard faculty would
actually carry out the radical suggestions
contained I'm President Eliot's latest dia-
tribe against intercollegiate athletics IL
should also be remembered that Harvarde
athletic future is in the hands of the
athletic committee. to which all these
things have been referred. That this com
mittee has no serious intention of cur
failing intercollegiate sports is shown by
the fact that an unusually long spring
foot ball practice was held and a stiff
schedule of nine games ratified
