ANALOSTAN PROTEST
GOES To N. A. A. 0.
Local Oarsmen Declare They Intend
Fighting Case for Good
of Sport.

Following close upon the heels of
the rejection Monday evening by the
officials of the Peoples Regatta of
the protest Of the Analostan-Undtne
Junior race Of July 5. comes the an
nouncement that the Analostan oars
men are prepared to carry the case
to the executive committee of the
men for consideration at the meeting
of that body at Springfield. Mass. on
August IS and IA.
We care nothing about the doubt
full honor of getting the race on this
protest" said an official of the
Analostan Boat Club yesterday. who
asked that his name be not mentioned.
but we are determined to carry the
protest to the limit for the sake OF
clean sport"
There has always been more or
less complaint over tho way resattas
have been conducted in Philadelphia"
he continued. "and we feel that we
have just grounds for feeling that
all Is not as it should be in Quaker
town rowing circles"
"Undine's excuse that the name OF
Pepper was left off the program
through a typographical error is too
weak to be given serious considera-
tion when II is remembered that the
excuse was not offered until two
weeks after the race"
Speculation was rife yesterday as to
the reason the intermediate eight
cared races were left off the program
of events for the Middle States re-
gatta. which will take place in Phila-
delphia on Labor Day. Friends of
the Analostan Boat Club. which has
one of the best intermediate eights
in this section, feel that the absence
of this race on the card of evetns was
intended as a slap at the Washing
ton oarsmen.
AS the Schuylkill Navy has entire
charge of the program. no protest can
be made by Analostan over the in
termediate race being left out Of the
sporting calendar.
