ARRANGE TO HOUSE
VISITING OARSMEN
Georgetown and Potomac
Boat Houses Thrown Open
for Middle States.

Preparations for the Middle States re-
gatta have already begun. and the com
mittees are hard at work.
Il order to house the large number OF
boats expected, the Georgetown boat
house will be used in addition to the
Potomac house. The big craft will soon
be brought down to the bridge and an
chored on the west side OF the pier. The
floats will also be brou yht down, and
the two buildings Will be connected with
wide runway.
This place viii hold sixteen eight
Dared shells, besides a number OF other
small boats, which will not take up as
much roOm as an eight.
Use Arch of Bridge.
The arch of the bridge which adjoins
the boat house has lately been walled IN
and graded, preparatory 10 putting In
a concrete hoor. This affords excellent
accommodation, ana viii allow the stOr-
ing of at least ten fOurs. doubles, and
singles. In all there are seventeen dill
ferent events since the two extra ones
have been added by the New York COM
mittee, making the total or boats about
seventy-twO.
1t is TO be regretted that the Anaios-
tans have decided not TO enter junior
eight in the regatta as this event is
watched By the majority of the Wash
ingon people, and the rivalry between
these men and the Potomacs has always
run high.
Accommodations For Visitors
The Ebbitt House will be used just
as the Bingham House is used in Phila-
delphia, a harbor for all the visiting
oarsmen. and here the cups and medals
Z will be distributed 10 the victorious
crews.
A shake-up in the ranks OF the junior
Potomac bpat was made by COach
i the boat is not quite as fast, the men
say that she keeps her keel better, ana
this will insure speed later on. PedTces
the heavyweight who has been rowing
ia The senior crew in order 10 reduce
Z his weight, has been put in the junior
boat, and he IS sure TO make II stronger.

KID MURPHY BESTED
BY BANTAM CHAMP

OCEAN CITY. Nd, Aug. S.-Young
Britt. the bantam champion. had de-
cidedly the better Of a ten-Tound bout
with Kid Murphy, Of Brooklyn, at the
Atlantic Casino.
The first three rounds were sparring
matches, but both men warmed up
afterwards and got in some telling
punches. Murphy proved rather slow In
taking advantage of good openings,
while Britt never failed TO follow up
and punch at every opportunity. In
the last three rounds Murphy took the
count six times, while Britt appeared as
lively as ever. II. Herman TTefhnger
was the referee.
Harry MunshaW seconded Young
Britt, while George Bravvier seconded
Kid Murphy.

"Well, I'm from Texas, so you'll

Pipe the everlasting truth contained
herein" said Mike, whereupon he
proceeded as follows:
