where they are to take part Friday
and Saturday in the national regatta.
An eight from the Analostan Club and
an eight and four from the Potomac
Club are entered in six races.
The boats ere going into some mighty
fast competition. and their greatest
strength will be taxed if they are to
win. The two Fights will take part in
the special junior and intermediate
events, while the four is entered in the
senior and international races. The
arst race Friday is that in which the
Fights are to meet the best junior
boats of the other clubs. Besides the
Washington crws there are in the race
the Montrose Boat Club and Pennsyl-
vania Barge Club, both of Philadelphia
the Detroit Boat Club of Detroit and
the Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe Cluo
of Grand Rapids. Mich. Just what kind
of competition the western organiza-
lions will afford is not known, but it
is safe to say that neither OF the
Quaker city boats will be able to win
from the two local representatives For
that matter. it would not be surprise
If the Potomac and Analostan boats
finished first and second.
When the local Fights start in the in
termediate race, the final event on the
program Friday. they will be against
much better crews They will contest
with the Illinois Valley Yacht and
Canoe Club of Chicago. the Arundel
Club of Baltimore. NeSper Club of Phila-
delphia. Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe
Club of Michigan, the Detroit Boat Club.
the Duluth Boat Club OF Minnesota and
the Argonaut Rowing Club of Canada. II
one of the local Fights could win against
such competition as these opponents are
sure to give then it will be worthy OF
even more than passing commentator.
OF course, the Potomac four VIII be IN
even faster company than the two Fights.
1t will row against the very best comb
nations in this country and one or the
most capable from Canada. The Western
Rowing Club of ST. Louis. the Duluth
Club of Minnesota, the University Barge
Club of Philadelphia and the ArEonaut
Club of Canada. In the international
four-oared race the same organizations
that the Augonaut Club will have two
boats in competition.
Two members of local clubs will be
officials at the regatt John J. Nolan
and Vernon E. West of the Analostans
is to be judge. The referee the first
day, Friday, will be Mai. Q. Heron.
president of the Arsonaut Rowing
Club. and the referee of the second
days sport is to be James Pilkington,
"
of Amateur Ooarsmen. John .. Regain
will do the starting.
The eight that is to represent the
Potomac Boat Club has improved so
much that it does not look like the
same crew that was rowing a month
ago, before Jim Rice took charge
There is not feature of its work that
has not been vastly bettered, and.
while there are no predictions made
as to the probable results of the races
in which 1t is to take part, in the
exact words of Jim Rice. who general
ly knows what he is talking about,
there's apt to be some surprises
But that Analostan crew Is not goinF
to be an easy one to defeat. 1t is
made up of powerful bunch of
youngsters who will give a good ac-
count Of themselves Man for man.
probably are more able to stand the
race than the Potomac aggregation.
The Analostans have been tried and
found true: they have shown their
staying powers and caliber under fire.
The Potomacs have not yet done that;
the men who will be in the Red and
White boat are more or less untried,
and whether they will measure up to
every requirement in the pinch is
something that no one can foretell.
But there is one thing sure, the Po-
tomac boat is sure to be as smooth
working combination as appears in the
junior race.
The Potomac four undoubtedly has
difficult proposition on its hands. II
will be in competition against tours that
have been rowing together long time,
and it will be extremely hard for the
local men to show on an equal plane
with them. There is not much likelihood
that the opposing crews will be made
up of better individuals physically, but
it takes more than physique to carry

Kenlworth and the Emeralds evened
matters up in the series of five games
they are playing for the Central Lea cue
championship in the contest OF yester-
day. The En1eralds took the first Mon
back yesterday and got the long end of
the score by an exceptionally strong
finish Kenilworth scored twice in
the seventh and twice in the eighth. The
final count was to 4.
The brilliant playing of Mike Moran
for Kenilworth featured the contest. Mo
ran gave grand exhibition of how to
play shortstop and out of four trips to
hits. Six chances in the field We're
handled by him. and there was not ar
evidence of misplav. Norris who did
the pitching for the Emeralds. was bat
ted rather hard and. to make matters
worse. there were six errors made be
hind him.
Whitney Avenue sprung surprise
on the Emmanuel team yesterday when !
it defeated the leaders in the North
west Sunday School League by 10 to u.
The Whitney Avenue aggregation got
the jump right at the start of the con-
test, scoring four runs in the first and
two in the second. That kind OF
