that position would be hard to dislodge.
for it seems to be a hard proposition
when once in the lead In looking over
it's record in the early part of last sea-
son, one must not consider its poor
work too seriously.
The Aggies to get the place or better
must start with fast team. hold 1t IN
tact, and not break up a winning com
bination as they did last season. This
had much to do with their being put out
of the running. The Navy Yard and
Commissioners may become lively factors
in the race. but from the present outlook
they cannot be considered very strong
ones, at least not at the start of the sea-
son. These five teams appear to be the
class of the league. The others will proba-
bly, fight 1t out among themselves for
cellar honors, and unless they have some
good ones up their sleeve they can do no
more than prove an occasional stumbling
block in the path OF the various leading
teams.
OF these five, the most promising ap-
pears to be the Capitol quint, and il is
very certain that it will be higher in
standing than in the past, and may be
able to climb into the first division. The
race this season will be a tisht one, NOR
so, perhaps. than the last one, which was
about as close, and involved NOR teams
than any league contest previously held
in Washington. The schedule this season
calls for each team TO bowl eighty-one
games. comm ncing S ptember 81 and
ending March 81, all on the Palace alleys.
The schedule is a long one. and the race
is one that may be lull of surprises In the
matter of team and ind vidual work
Nearly all the teams are in practice,
and from the work witnessed on
the alleys some high class bowl
ing will be seen this season and

Brookland aggregation yesterday after
noon before large crowd at the Capital
City Park by the close score of to l.
The contest was a pitchers battle and
proved to be one of the most exciting and
interesting games seen at the Capital City
Park this Sc son. Darkness put an end
to hostilities at the close OF the seventh
inning.
Simon, who did the twirling for the
losers. pitched an exceptionally good
game, allowing the pennant winners but

Kinney in the sixth session to left center
Simon recorded eight strike-outs to his
credit. but was little wild on passes. He
gave five.
Meister. who did the box work for the
winners also twrled a good game. He
was tapped up for Two more hits than
Simon. but was more effective when men
were on bases, only giving two passes
and recording eight Strke-OutS.
Stone carried off the batting honors of
the day with two singles. He was the
only man that could connect safely for
an ezra base. Taylor center fielder for

POTOMACS TIRE OF DIGGING
FOR SUCCESS OF REGATTA
Get Financial Support From But Few People and Face
Defcit-Officers Discouraged and May Make No
Effort Toward Running Another National Meet.

That Washington will ever hold another
big national regatta is rather vague, as 1t
is doubtful if the Potomac Boat Club will
attempt to finance another. with the poor
support given them this year by the
people.
This is the sentiment that now pervades
in the club. as it faced a deficit, where in
previous years it has managed to make
both ends meet. With the heavy cost Of
the new building hanging over it. the ad-
di,ion of the regatta expenses adds a
sour grimace to the faces of the gov
ernors and they do not speak pleasantly
of things in general.
President Charles G.. Warden of the
Potomac Boat Club said his organization
has stood sponsor for rowing in Washing
ton sngly and alone since 1900. when the
new era of rowing was started in Wash
1ngton. and win or lose Il has given the
people of this city the best sport possible
and received nothing in return. This year
II went even farther and induced nearly
all the champion Carsmen to visit our
city. The regatta was the largest and
best conducted ever held in America. and
the 90 900 spectators saw seventeen races
as holly contested as ever seen at Henley
or the best courses of our country.
The officers of the club complain bitter
~ of the poor financial support given
them by those who reaped the largest
benefit. The local newspapers and few
business men contri buted but when 1t
came to those directly interested in the
receipts the club was turned down.
II do not think said Mr.. Warden
"that our club will undertake to hold any
more regattas here on the Potomac when
they have to pay for the fddling while
the general public has free dance. We
will use our money to so off to the big
resattas where it will cost us about one
tenth as much

Founder Week regatta that takes place

PAL MER N. ]. TENNIS CHAMP
Wins From Stevens and Takes Game
From E. P. Larned by Default.

MORRISTOWN, y. j., September 10
Richard II. Palmer of the Ridgewood
Golf Club won the New Jersey state lawn
tennis championship today on the courts
of the Morrstown Field Club. In the
tournament final he defeated Neal Stevens
-, 4-6, 12-10. 81, and then took the

The mixed doubles titles were won by
Miss Wagner and 'Watrous. who defeated
Miss Whitney and Fayerweather, Go,
C. Gwynne won the mems consolation,
defeating Preserved Smith. 81, Sc, Ga.
All of the matches brought out high class
tennis. although the stubborn resistance
of young Stevens at all times compelled
Palmer to work for his title and the
holding Of the cup.

Potomac Boat Club that he will assume
charge of building up an eight that will
be winner. That it Is going to be a fine
affair is shown by the action of the
municipal authorities of that city, who
have appropriated $1,000 to meet the ex-
penses of the Schuy,kill show. The media g
for the winners will be diamond studded,
while the prizes for the clubs will be Of
the shield design, similar to those given
at the Peoples regatta on the 4th OF
July.
These races are intercity affairs and
the crews may be selected at random from
among the different clubs, or may go
intact from a single club after they have
proven their right as the best of the sec
ton from where they come. The New
York Athletics will represent New York,
and it is these doughty champions that
Dempsey will attempt to trim.
He may select his crew entirely from
the sixteen seniors in the ranks of the
Potomacs, or he may go out and bring in
some of the Analostans or Georgetown
oarsmen, as he is entitled to under the
circumstances. He Is after glory for
Washington and himself and he will be
given carte blanche to go ahead. The
members are enthused and the expense
of the trip will come entirely from sub
scriptions raised among themselves, and
the club will only be put to the expense
of entering them.

Ell oHs Roy WOODS.


Last Friday was exhibition day. The
students have been working on their
books all year and were well paid for
their labor by the words of praise given
by the patrons. The pupils came in the
morning and parents and patrons in the
afternoon. A short program was given,
Elder Rupert delivered an address
and the school band furnished the
music. A number of patrons were out
who had never been in the new school
building.
Alvin Muse visited the High room
Monday morning.
1t would have been better for the
students had they started few min
utes before the rain Monday morning,
instead of waiting until it was over.
Better one hour early than one minute
late.
These are busy times for the senior
class, who are writing and committing
the orations for class day, May 26.
These will be given at the school house.
The board will probably hire music
teacher for next year.
The final examinations begin next
week. This pleases the pupils.
The schools are preparing to take
part in the Decoration Day exercises,
! May Goth. The school band will furnish
the music.
The commencement exercises will be
given May 2Sth at the opera house.
