BOATHOUSE GOSSIP.

The Potomacs will make their first bid
for rowing honors Of 1909 at the People
regatta Monday, and on the showing of
the crew will depend much of the club
activity during the remainder Of the sea-
son. They have entered their senior
eight In the principal event of the re-
gatta, getting the crew together last Mon
day for the first time, as the controlling
officers of the club were not entirely sat
isfied with the work and makeup Of the
junior crew. They are not, nor could 1t
be expected that they would be, in the
very best Of condition, for they have not
kept together and trained as crew
should which expects during the year to
meet the pick OF America in hard races.
In month from now they would be fit to
meet the best Of England or Canada, but
this lack Of condition Is due entirely to
themselves, as the officials of the club
have used every means to keep them in
training.
It is down on the schedule that they are
to have the hardest race of the year, for
in the event against them are the famous
New York Athletics, champions Of Ameri-
ca, and always fast crew under all
circumstances because they train from
the opening Of April down until the mid
die of September, and, being mostly ex-
collegians, are adopts at the rowing game.
Coach Giovinini. who has been the mentor
there for fifteen years, and years OF sue
cess at that. says his crew is equal to the
one of 1908. and this means 1t Is a
hummer. Then, too. the Vespers have
gotten together senior eight, with such
veterans as Marsh, De Becke. Flaming n,
Gleason, Hartman. De Vol and others In
the boat, a crew that the New York A. C.,
only posed out a victory from last year,
while That other up-to-date club, the West
Phlladelphians. has q crew that they
claim is the fastest on the Schuylkill
river in years. Jim Dempsey, brother to
the coach of the Potomacs, says both
crews are fast, and he expects to see a
strong race between them for first place.
1t will thus be seen that the Potomacs
will have strong field to row down IL
they expect to push the nose Of their craft
across the line first But, no matter who
wins. the race Is going to be a hard one
from the time the start Is given until the
finishing line is passed. as it is going
to be a sprinting match all the way
through. 1t is expected, owing to the
fact that this year the distance rowed
is cut down 10 a mile and IL quarter. that
each crew Will maintain an average
stroke OF thirty-siN to the minute, thus
getting back TO the good old DAYS of the
American style of rowing when the ay-
erase was nearer forty than the meas
ured and slow work seen SO often at late
regattaS.

the ball park for q number of seasons.
The Piedmonts have been playing real
base ball this season and will doubtless
give the local Giants two games OF un-
usual speed. The fact that a special wire
from Boston will give the returns Of the
game between the Nationals and Red
Socks adds interest to the afternoon s
program.
The gates will open promptly at 1
o'clock. The prices are to be Of the pop

ton, which includes the Cuban Giants,
the Cuban Stars OF Cuba, the Philadel-
Paul Golfers, the Chicago Leland Giants,
the Baltimore Giants and the Harrisburg

team consists OF the winning Of eight
