COAST Grew IS
COMING FOR
CERTAIN

Final arrangements for the particle
patton of a Coast crew in the Homo
lulu regatta have been completed, and
the winner of yesterdays elimination
race at Alameda will be here for Re-
gatta Day. The Coast oarsmen agree
to every condition imposed by the To-
Gals. and If Honolulu wins, the six
cared barge championship will remain
in these waters until lifted
The following letter received by Bert
Lightfoot tells the story:
San Francisco. Cal. June 81, 1912
Mr.. ]. B. Lightfoot, Secretary and
Treasurer, Hawaii Rowing Assoc
citation, Honolulu, H. T.
Dear Sir: Your communication adj
dressed to the Pacific Association of
Amateur Oarsmen of May 81, has been
read at the meeting of the association
and your offer of $S2S to go towards
the expense of sending a crew to the
Islands on the 9th of September has
been accepted.
The championship regatta will take
place in the Alameda Estuary on the
4th of July. and the club winning the
senior barge race will represent the
association in your races on the 9th
of September. The competitors will be
the Alameda Boat Club, the Ariel Row.
ing Club, the Polphin Swimming and
Rowing Club, the San Diego Rowing
Club and the South End Boat Club
This will make five competitors COM
peting for this prize. and you may be
sure that you will get the best crew
to represent us, as every club is on
its mettle for that event
We appreciate the fact that you will
lend us the barge to row in-that is.
barge viii be at the disposal of the
California competing club before it
goes to the Islands. so that they may
get accustomed to, the boat and get in
trim for the race before leaving for the
Islands. We understand it will be bet
ter for the club competing to finish
their training in California waters, as
they would want to row before being
affected by the Hawaiian climate, as
they would not have enough time to get
acclimated but would only be weakened
by the change if rowing short time
after arrival. so we would figure on
arriving at the Islands on the last boat
before the races take place.
1t is understood by the Pacific As
ISOLATION of Amateur Oarsmen that,
should the championship for the six
cared barge be awarded to a Hawaiian
crew, il will stay there until won in
your waters on the same principle
that the American Cup stays in the
waters of the winning clu>, until wrest-
ed from them.
The Pacific Association of Amateur
Oarsmen offers its congratulations to
the Hawaii Rowing Association for the
fact of getting up this regatta, and we
hope in 1915 to have big events in San
Francisco bay in which the clubs from
Hawaii will be invited to compete.
Yours fraternally,

washington continues the sensation
Of the American League, and by the
last percentage table, June %. is only
two points back of Chicago for second
place, but fixe full games behind the
flying Bostons.
If Washington wins the American
League pennant this season and
this Is not the jest the ordinary per-
son would make il = Walter Johnson
will pitch at least four of the worlds
series games-if necessary.
Walter has pledged himself in this,
and the Nationals are Drumming with
confidence that Johnson would win
the worlds honors for them.
The confidence of the Washington
players in their own ability Is nothing
short Of astounding. They go into
every game convinced that they will
win, and it is helping them in their
work. Fortunately, there is nothing
bordering on swell-headedness yet
perceptible among the players, all re-
naming modest, yet very confident.
It's no race in the National except
for second place, where Pittsburg, Chi
cago and Cincinnati are plugging
away. Vernon keeps in the lead of
the Coasters, while in that great race
of the Northwestern, Victoria and
Spokane are tied with Seattle only
one point behind.

call to attend a family by the name
Of RosenthaI at 50 Arch street. The

said that no time should be lost. As
soon as possible the physician hurried
to 50 Arch street and rang the bell.
