CANOE CLUB REGATTA

The Washington Canoe Club held a
club regatta yesterday afternoon at Its
clubhouse at Aqueduct bridge. The
weather could not have been better.
as there was no wind to bother the
wielders OF the paddle. and the air was
warm. Tho races did not start until
$50 o'clock, and was finished about z
o'clock.
A pretty contest was staged in the
mixed tandem race when J. w. Burch'
the genial commodore of tho club, and
Elizabeth Parrish flashed across the
finish line a half length ahead Of H. T.
King and Miss Leonard, with j. A. Hun
and Miss A. A. Grillo a close third.

with the high school track and field
games yesterday and the south Al
Nf fha A TDa =
letic Union meet of the day before, the
track season was brought to its finish.
In some ways the year on the track
has been very good and in others the
standard has been lower than usual
There Is no question about the indoor
meets having fallen somewhat below
the standards of previous seasons. but
something of a stimulus was to be OBJ
served in those held outdoors splen-
did quota of athletes took part in
South Atlantic intercollegiates, big
held was present for the Maryland Ag-
ricultural College intercollegiate and
interscholastic contests, and there were
representative squads from the various
schools at the Tome games yesterday
and the annual meet for local high
schools yesterday was the largest in
wears and perhaps the best. The South
Atlantic A. A. A. L. games Friday were
much better than usual, and the gen
eral impetus gwen to this form of out
door sport this spring augurs well for
ii in the future. The chances are that
there will be larger representation
from the many colleges and schools in
outdoor track athletics next year than
in the whole previous history of the
sport in this part of the country.
1t is not often that the pitcher and
catcher of base ball team form the
mainstay of the offense as well as the
defense. yet that is true of Tomlin and
Flaherty OF Eastern. These youngsters
hit fourth and fifth in the lineup and

establishes them among the most con
sistent batters in the high schools. 1t
was two home runs by these youngsters
which gave Eastern its victory over
Western Friday. Incidentally. Tomlin
and F'laherty seem to form about the

one cannot help but give them that
distinction when their accomplishments

! The standing of the teams shows that
| the series is not fully decided by any

good margin, cannot afford to allow itself
to grow oyerconfident. The three teams
. tied for second place are all strong ana
any of them is apt at any time to slip
| over a victory on the Light Blue and
White, and in a short series each game
counts tremendously. The first part OF
! the series has shown Eastern to have
slight advantage. which, by virtue OF Its
excellent battery work, is likely to be
maintained, but it is more than possible
that one of the other schools will come

has been said hundred times that any
