STUDENTS HOPEFUL
AQUATICS WON'T GO

Rowing Supported.

Those in charge OF athletics at
Georgetown refused this morning to
confirm the report that the poor show
ing of the Blue and Gray crews in the
Henley regatta at philadelphia Satur-
day had sounded the death-knell Of
aquatics at the West End school, and
the student body is rejoicing and has
high hopes that next season viii again

A ruTnor which seemed TO have gained
its source other than at the university
the poor performance Of the two
Georgetown crews, the Props and the
freshmen. at Philadelphia yesterday,
rowing at Georgetown was a thing Of
the past, and that the prestige which
the Blue and Gray held several years
ago had finally faded nd died out.
Nothing could be farther from the
TRUTH said one of the prominent ath-
letes, and a former oarsman. at the
university this morning. There has
been some talk about the advisability Of
dropping the crew here for the last sew
eral years. but despite the showing of
the crews yesterday, the majority is in
clined to think that with & little more
practice the material which is at hand
can be brought TO a proper development
and once more raise Georgetown TO its
former standing. Neither Of the two

ditions which they were forced TO com
bat with was also cause for the poor
showing"

Isn't it funny what a difference a
few years makes?" says the New York
Press. Charley Comiskey, who was
some hrst-sac1er in his day, was talk
ing about custodians of the getaway
bag at a meeting of the American
League in this city q few days ago.
MY man, Jiggs Donohue, has some
thing on Hal Chase" remarked the
Old Roman. Chase is great, but DON
Ohue is greater"
Look where Donohue is nOw-with
Cantillon's Combination of Castoffs.
Jiggs has been a bench warmer for
the last two years. He, like many other
players. is going back. He is no spring
chicken, for he had his first major
league Job in 1900 with tlle Pirates. DON
ohue broke into the profession as a
backstop. being one Of the few left
handed windpaddists who have held
jobs in the big show. Fred Tenney,
Sam Trott. and Jack Clements were
other pOrtside receivers.
THAT Washington club is starting to
bear a very much Milwaukee aspect.
