they could see they had stopped at a sta

giving the Lowell yell and calling on the
boys to get up and show themselves. The
train pulled out before they could do
this, but they got up and dressed and had
an early breakfast.
Then they prepared themselves for the
all-day ride to the east. Presently they

themselves with singing a few of the
jefferson songs, mingled with their own

With Philadelphia and Baltimore fight

oarsmen of Washington are between
heaven and the deep sea. Philadelphia
has always been the helpmate of Wash

Baltimore is favored for the place for

They heard il, they seemed to drink it

rather dirse-lke chant of a Lowell vic

Hughie tried his best tn get the team
away from TIE crowd for they had a
hard game ahead of them next day, but
he gave it up finally, saying only:
'All right, boys. Do as you please with
us. but don't hurt us; we've got to lick

Jefferson. The championship was really
in danger.
Hughie congratulated the boys on their
excellent playing, and while none of them
had done very much with the bat, fol-
they had been opposed by a wonderful
pitcher, it was satisfaction to know that
Jefferson had just as hard a time trying
to hit Black.
He was particularly pleased with the
fine fielding displayed by the youngsters
Hans, Hal, Ty and Iris. who had stood
stanch under the first big firing: but wha,

BIG BOOM FOR THE
NATIONAL REGATTA
First Substantial Donation
Comes From the Plate
Printers.

The national regatta committee of the
ping out the preliminary details of the
affair, and the committee is very much
elated over the way things are shaping
themselves.
Chairman Charles 6. Warden of the ad-
visory committee says the change of the
dates from July 30 and 80 to August IL
and Is has met with general approval
throughout the country, and there is no
doubt it will swell the list of entries and
bring a larger crowd of people to our
city. 1t was the dates that the national
executive committee wanted at their
meeting, but selected the July dates, with
the understanding that the Potomacs
could change it if they desired, if they
wanted to arrange so as not to interfere
or anita gonize the base ball people.
To finance the regatta to a success is
the most important thing before the local
committee, and plans for a general cam
vass of the city are now being devised py
the subcommittee which has been APP
pointed to take this matter under con-
sideration. This committee recognizes the
fact that Washington is peculiarly sit
uated in regard TO any official action, for
when such regattas are held in cities of
municipal authority the common coun-
ellis of the PAGES always vote ali appro-
priation to help pay expenses, but here in
Washington it is generally a case OF beg
cling donations from our merchants and
pubIic-Spirited citizens.

In anticipation of the many visitors
that will be here during the year. and es-
pecally around the time of the National
regatta the Potomacs have commenced
a general overhauling of their boathouse
and property. The concrete plaza I'm
front and the bulwark on the river will
all be repaired, while the river front OF
the boathouse will receive new coat
of paint
The Old Dominions of Alexandria are
beginning to show some activity since it
became known as certainty that the
National regatta was coming TO this vicdn-
ity, and il is not unlikely that they win
enter crews when il does come off.
