Coach Hecox was very much pleased
over the showing made by his men yes
terday In the trial races rowed by the
crews of the Analostan Boat Club. Hecox
made the statement after the events that
his material for this season looked to
be better than usual, and that II nothing
happened he should turn out an excep-
tionally capable aggregation. In dis
cussing the races and the prospects for
the year, Hecox said:
'Of course, I cannot say that we are
going to have a good year. because lots
of things are liable to happen to prevent
the success we expect, but do think that
the prospects are brighter than for some
time. The boys have some crudities to
about their latent ability. The trials yes
terday showed some marked Qualities In
some Of the fellows I really did not
expect, and there is no doubt about them
being capable enough to be, developed
into winning crew. I am particularly
pleased with the work Of my intermediate
four. and believe II it would train 1t
would be able to come very near winning
In the National regatta
I'VE are going to send a double to the
National and possibly an intermediate
four We will be represented by a Junior
crew in the Peoples regatta at Phila-
delphia July 4, and we hope to win that
event again. We are going to have a
crew strong enough to give the best OF
them a hard run. Our juniors are going
sent up there last July. when we finished
in front"
A game of base ball will be played to-
morrow between teams representing
Catholic University and the Knights OF
Columbus for the benefit of St. vincent's
Orphan Asylum. The contest will take
place at American League Park and will
start at $50 o'clock.
The nine that Is to represent Catholic
University is the regular aggregation OF
players the school has had on the dia-
mond all the year. That it will be able
to put up a good game is assured. The
team will be opposed by nine OF mucn
strength also. as 1t will be made up
mostly of Georgetown men, but there are
two from other colleges on it, they being
Gargan Of Fordham and Joyce OF Bates.
The knights of Columbus team will be
under the management OF Jim Coll1noWer,
who is sure to present fast como1naton.
as there are few things with which Jim
associates himself that do not measure
up to a high standard.
The orphans of the District will be the
guests of the two teams at the park. and.
besides these, it is thought large crowd
will attend in order to aid the charity.
There are at least four boys making
good with the Martinsburg serni-pro team
in the Tri-City League. They are Blair,
Long, Morris and Kelly. Kelly has been
pitching good ball, and yesterday won his
game with Frederick rather easily. allow
ing only five hits. Long is playing third
base, Morris is holding down the job at
first. while Blair has been playing the out
field Blair did well in the game Of yes
terday, getting three hits.
A Washington boy is at present rowing
stroke in the Cornell eight, which has
proved very successful SO far this season
