dy the lack of work around the place
and said the organizers had been scared
of by weird tales OF the rivermen. It
Is to be regretted, as our city could stand
easily for three or four more we'll regu-
lated and thoroughly equipped boat and
canoe clubs.
And still there's nothing doing around
the coy Washington Canoe Club over its
addition, and President Whipple and GUY
Carl Stodder are becoming cross-eyed
looking for the workmen who do not
work.
The Potomacs are holding forth today
on Analostan Island and If the day be
fair 1t is expected that at least three hun
dred members and guests will be present.
A gala day has been arranged by Chair
man DAILY and Capt. Joe Richardson. Be
sides an oyster roast, 1t will also become a
turkey roast, as great number of these
seasonable birds have been donated for
use by Capt, Richardson.
The Potomacs expect to have two races
with the Naval Academy oarsmen next
May and Coach Pat Dempsey says he will
put one over on Coach Glendon for f.>e
defeat of last spring. 1t will be race for
first and second crews, the seniors and
Intermediates of the Potomacs meeting
the two best Of the academy.
Decker" Randolph of the Potomacs.
who has made a splendid reputation as a
coxswain IN the past three years, will go
out for the bow seat In the Junior crew
next year. He played foot ball this sea-
son and took on SO much flesh that IT will
be necessary to seek a new coxswain, and
there is no doubt he will make lust as
good record at number one seat, as he
did yanking the tiller rope at the Other
end of the boat.
Ex-Capt. Carl K. Mueller of the Po-
tomacs and winner of the junior SOULS al
the recent regatta sprang a surprise on
his eliminates last week by his maria 9e
to Miss Agnes Mary Pullman, daughter
OF Mr.. Charles Q. Pullman Of Alexandria
va. Inc ceremony took place at the
country manor of the brides father In
Fairfax county. and the only witnesses
present were the immediate members OF
both families. Mr.. and Mrs Mueller on
the return from their wedding trip will
reside in this city. and as Mrs. Mueller is
an ardent admirer Of aquatics, she will
insist that the captain continue his single
sculling work, a piece Of news that will
be gratifying to a host Of friends of the
groom.
A quiet tip was received yesterday that
hidoSlpLio, IucdIS the SCnuyf-
kill Navy, of course, would be almost
unanimous for Washington and the Ma
tional regatta. The tip was dropped by
a close and intimate friend Of Commo-
dore Harry Penn Burke of the navy, who
is the handspring Of that great rowing
body. the finest in America. The friends
Of the regatta movement here in Wash
ington place considerable in the rumor.
Wayne Hart, who has been pulling
number six sweep in every winning crew
Of the Potomacs in the last three years,
will probably be the next captain Of the
George Washington University foot ball
squad. He and Harry Ellis and Morse
were the bright marks of the George
Washington team, and the regret was
that he did not play on a team like Yale,
where he would have been the wonder OF
the year.
The West Philadelphia Club has ordered
two new eight-oared shells from Ruddock
Of New York. Quite big order for one
club to put in at once.
The Ariels Of Baltimore, since their new
house was completed. lay claim to it be-
ing the most perfect one in America. 1t
is very commodious and is supplied with
every modern appliance for comfort of
member or guest. It is large enough to
accommodate all the visitors that may
come to the Middle States regatta next
September.
