The Analostan and Potomac boat
clubs will be represented in the annual
Peoples regatta tomorrow at Philadel-
phia. The former is to have four
boats in competition and the latter one.
The Analostans will row in the Junior,
intermediate and senior eight cared
races and the senior four cared event;
the Potomacs sole representative will
be in the intermediate doubles.
Analostan's junior eight will have
only one opponent-the Malta Boat
Club of Philadelphia-ands should stand
an excellent chance to win. The
Maltas have not shown anything extraor-
binary this year, having been defeat
ed by the Vesper juniors two weeks
ago by a good margin. The Analostan
intermediates will go into little sitter
competition, as they will have to beat
the Cndine Barge Club and the Vesper
Boat Club. The senior eight will have
as its opponents the Undine Barge Club.
the New York Athletic Club, and pos
sibly one or two others. most likely the
Ariels of Baltimore and the Nassau
Boat Club of New York. The four is to
be opposed to the Argonaut Rowing
CAB of Toronto, the University Barge
Club and the New York Athletic Club
1t is understood that the Argonauts
have an exceptionally capable four and
expect to capture the event. notwith-
standing that the University barge
crew won the Nationals championships
a year ago
W. F. Powell and Frank Chamberlain
will row for the Potomacs in the dou-
bles. They will have for their OPP
ponents the Columbia Boat Club of
pittsburgh, the University Barge Club
and the Cndine Barge Club.
Billy Marceron. who was in his
prime as member of the Cornell club
several years ago. is still playing good
ball. He is holding down a position
on abe Car Department nine in the
railroad Y. NJ. c. A. circuit and is
leading the league in batting. Mar
ceron's work with the stick has been
remarkably consistent, there having
been few contests in which he has
failed to ge his share of the hits. Billy
also is doing his part in fielding. TAX
ing care of an outfield position without
many worries.
The Treasury team, while it is in
no higher class ball in the Depart
mental League than it faced in the
post-season series year ago. is not
making the showing it did then. The
main reason why Treasury Is not max
ing such a record this season is be-
cause it is not getting as good pitch
ing In 1914 Downey. the big left
handler, was about as clever as any
other hurler in the amateur circuits,
and was. perhaps, superior to the
others: he worked in few contests in
which he failed to hold the opposition
to minimum number of hits. and
when errors were made he could gen.
orally tighten up sufficiently to strike
out or in some manner dispose of a
batter or two easily enough to pull his
club out of the hole. While Bell and
Croson have been doing creditabiy, it
is no reflection on their work to say
that they are hardly hurting as we'll as
Downey did in 1914.
About the only amateur league game
scheduled tomorrow will be played at
Americai League Park in the morning
between the Machinists and Congress
Heights in the Potomac circuit. Per-
mission to use the park was granted by
Clark Griffith before the Nationals left
On their present trip.
Congress Heights will try to stop the
Machinists and pull closer to them in
the league race. The Machinists are
going well. having been in the lead all
season. Blanton will do the hurting
for Congress Heights and If he does as
well as he did some time ago when
he entered the box for that team. he
ought to come mighty near winning.
Blanton. it will be remembered, is the
pitcher who struck out twenty men but
lost his game.
