PRESIDENT PUILIAM RETIRES TO TAKE A LONG REST.
NOt4N HEYDLER NOW AT HEAD OF NATIONAL LEAGUE

with one victory over the other on the
water In 1907 the Quakers beat the Hill
top colts at the American Henley In a
fairly speedy race, but the laurelS were
brought to the local preps school last
summer. when its eight won from six OF
the best schoolboy crews of the country,
making the remarkably fast time of T.
minutes and ~ seconds, seventeen SECONDS
better than the best previous record for
that event. In this race Central fnfShed
second.
And now comes a challenge for match
race the preferable pace for which is
in Philadelphia anyway three weeks later
a the American regatta.
Whether the gauntlet of the Central
High School is accepted or not Will hard
ly be decided for couple of weeks. but
if it is the race will most likely be held
on the Potomac
Such an event on the local course could
not help but prA,e attractive. as was
shown by the battle between the Preps
and Tech two years ago, when the whole
rowing community turned out to cheer
the youngsters in their efforts. Last
spring Manager Woods of the Blue and
Gray varsity held a regatta between the
Hilltoppers and New York University
which was. considering the inclemency OF
the weather, also a great success. Sc
therefore. as there will not be any other
local school eights to give the people
of Washington a strictly schoolboy re-
gatta there can hardly be any doubt that
a race between the Georgetown Preps
and the Central High of Philadelphia fol

plenty of merriment. In this match

Sellers of the Memorial Athletic Club
and Darden, unattached, in the 12J-pound
class, put up a good showing IN the Two

When Pulliam was selected as presi-

Johnny has a temperament that will
eventually carry him permanently into

He has made friends on all sides, keeps
a closed mouth on almost every subject
and is just the man to head the major
organization, AS he plays no favorites
and the magnates can carry their trou-
