It seems certain that the Analostan
Boat Club will be compelled to cease
Its activities in connection with water
sports and go out of existence. The

to connect Rock Creek and Potomac
Parks necessitate the tearing down Of
the club house and the condemnation
Of the property now belonging to It,
If the officials Of the boat club fight
the matter through the courts 1t may

with the rest. 1t may be two or three
years or 1t may be earlier. but 1t now

spirit that old things must go in the
general scheme of building for the
future. There will be many who have
had connection with the club for years
who will regret it's passing. 1t Is the
most historic athletic organization in
the District.
Some of our members have proposed
schemes to secure permission to erect a
handsome brick clubhouse on the park
property. thus improving the park with
a desirable structure and still allowing
us to continue our activities as a boat
club. This is done in Philadelphia, and
there is no doubt that the boat houses
there add much to the general park at

The Analostan club was organized In

its membership some of the most promi-
nent men in the District and is now a
very popular organization.
The double-referee system Instituted

Of such events. No regatta was ever

were no delays between events at any

character where each Is supposed to be

the regatta was carried through just a
little ahead of schedule. The last race
on the program was listed to start at

GORE STARS IN TENNIS
Dumbarton Club Player Will Meet
Dudley Morgan for
Championship.

Albert ]. Gore, the racketer from the
Dumbarton Tennis Club, who defeated
Henry c. Brock in the third round of
singles in the Columbia Country Clubs
invitation tournament, won his way to
the finals In both singles and doubles
yesterday afternoon. defeating in the
singles his clubmate, John NJ. Hancock.
and in the doubles, paired with W. A.
Bethel of the Chevy Chase Club. de-
feated Hancock and Lou Doyle. Gore
meets Dudley Morgan Of the Chevy
Chase Club in the finals tomorrow.
The singles match was won In
straight sets, Hancock showing for the
first six games in the first set the best
tennis he has displayed this year With
the score at five games all, after sus-
tained rally, Hancock. dashing in to the
net. chopped the ball to the side line
for a pass Gore protested the stroke,
crossed the net on the kill. Referee
Douglas Hillyer allowed the claim.
although it seemed the consensus of
never in danger of crossing the net
After this happening, which would
have given him the lead in games at
6-5, Hancock's game slowly faded
Gore taking the first set at rs and
easily annexing the second at Go.
In the earlier stages of the match
Hancock's American service was going
strong and it looked as If he would
take the measure of Gore, as the lat
ter's backhand, which proved such a
strong feature in the match with Brock,
was weaker yesterday.
Bethel, who has held two Washington
state singles titles, was the mainstay OF
the Gore Bethel team which defeated Lou
Doyle and Hancock for the place in the
doubles final In three sets at 90, 2-6
and 6-1. Doyle, despite the fact that
he fell and injured his knee the evening
previous, played superlative tennis. and
1t was only the excellent teamwork OF
the opposing pair, who have often
played together, which was able to up
set the strong game presented by Doyle
and Hancock.
The doubles final between Hillyer and
Lincoln and Gore and Bethel will be
played this afternoon at 4:30 with the
singles final carded for the same hour
tomorrow. Play was begun in the
women's singles, of which the feature

but one man left and not one of them

Johnson is not apt to lose another
game this season He is in perfect
that he gets the necessary three days
rest between his games, which surely
will keep him on edge.
Joe Leonard disputed Umpire Evans
decision at the plate in the sixth inning
! and was sent off the field for his hot
headedness. Leonard is an earnest play
er but there is nothing gained by kicking
on decisions which are just. He
must realize that he would handicap his
team If he should be foolish enough to
have himself suspended for anything he
might say to the umpires, for he Is hit
ting and playing ball of the highest grade
and the team needs him every day.
John Henry handled Johnson's delivery
perfectly. and the only one of the Yam
KEGS who tried to steal, Magee in the
sixth inning, was thrown out by yards.
Foster handling the throw
Some of the out-of-town papers give
the Yankees two hits off Johnson, con-
tending that Magee should have been
given credit for a single on the ball he
hit to Judge in the sixth inning. The
fact of the matter is that Johnson was
on the bag ready to take Judges toss
and there was daylight between him and
too high for Johnson to reach 1t. Ma
gee should have been out by a step.
Bert Gallia will face the Yankees
in the game today. and he will be op-
posed by either Shocker or Mogridge
The former is a right-hander and the
latter left-hander.
1t is gratifying to" learn that there
are some true sportsmen here in Wash
ingtoh who want to reward the MEM
bers of the local base ball club on
the final game of the season, next Tues
day, by suitable benefit for the play
erS.
A telephone call to the sporting ed
itor of The Star this morning from
regular attendant at the games here
expressed the desire that committee
of prominent men be appointed to take
charge of such a proposition and get it
under way at once.
The party who made this suggestion
said he knew lots of patrons of the
game here who appreciated the fact
that the team is making a game bid for
better position in the race, and who
would contribute to his scheme. and
that he was one of many who would be
willing to buy several boxes for the
benefit of the players.
He believes that such demonstra-
ton would be encouraging to the play
ers. He pointed out that this recently
was done in St. Louis.
1T would be a most encouraging prop
osition for the players who repre-
sent Washington to know that there
are enough real sportsmen here to
show their appreciation of the players
efforts, and l am satisfied that 1t would
stimulate their interest in their work
on the coming trip" he concluded.

Incidentally. the hitting of the locals

numerous victories of late.
There is. therefore, no reason for the

final western trip next Tuesday.
{ The return of Judge to first base and
the acquisition of Leonard have done
wonders for the locals. Elmer Smith
