SPIRITED SKIRRISH
FOR OLYMPIA CREW
Washington Oarsmen in
Race for the Coveted
Honor.

BOSTON, Mass, March 19.-There is
unusual activity among the oarsmen Of
Boston, Philadelphia, New York and
Washington this year, as each city is
desirable of being represented on the
Olympic crew that viii go 10 England
10 UNFOLD the name America has made
in the rowing world. These four cities
are the leading centeTs of the rowing
game IN this country, and 1t would not
be fair to pick a crew from either one
OF the places named without giving the
others a chance.
President James PilkipgtOn Of the Ma
tional Rowing Association Of America
and Julian CuTtIss. the well-known
writer OF aquatic sports, who have been
named to pick the crew, will meet this
week at one OF the New York hotels and
decide how the crew will be selected.
Their decision is being awaited with IN
terest in the rowing circles OF the East,
as they may decide that II VIII be
necessary to have one OF the college
crews represent this country. Three or
the colleges prominent in the rowing
line have signifed their intentions OF
sending a crew across the water.
Four Cities Represented.
The Bacon boys, at Harvard, are put
ting Up a great fight, but as their homes
are both in washington, New York, and
Boston. one Of these cities seems sure
OF distinguished representation.
The only way that rowing clubs o;
this country can prevent a college crew
from going across the water as the rep
reseItatfve American band is to pick
the two leading Oarsmen in the -four
cities named and send them to some
central point, where they can train tOI
about a month and then. when the
Poughkeepsie regatta is over. have the
crew that has been sent from these
cities meet the college crew that wins
the regatta.
The winner OF this race. which should
be the same distance as the Olympic
course, would be the only tit crew tC
send across the water.
