| 900 Children WiIlApply To-day
To Attend First Tribune Outing
Fresh Air Funds Medical Examiners Will Select Members
of Party to Leave City Tomorrow otal
Contributions Now $l0ll0

a million children in New York have
one thought to-day tomorrow is the
last day Of school on that one thought
are based a million different plans for
fun and frolic during the next ten
weeks.
One thousand Of the million are even
going TO snatch an hour or so from the
last two days OF the term to take the
first step in the carrying out of their
plans. They are the youngsters who
on Friday and Saturday are to make up
the Fresh Air vacation parties which
are 10 be sent on their way toward va
cation land By The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund.
The first step toward that promised
land is the obtaining of a certificate Of
cleanliness and freedom from COM
municable disease from The Tribune
Funds medical examiner. There will
therefore be a great sticking out Of
tongues and barring Of chests at various
rendezvous throughout the city to-mor-
row as the thousand apply eagerly Cor
their passports. and after the tongues
have been scrutinized and the threats
peered into. there win be shouts Of joy
from those who pass" and feel already
the spring Of The turf under their feet;
just as-alas. there vii! be tears and
wailing from some who do not pass"
and who find the door through which
they have been peering slammed in
their faces.
Remember Last Years Scourge
This year the fund finds it especially
necessary to make careful examinations
Of the children to be sent TO the coun-
try in its parties. The people Of the
country have not forgotten the cpl
demic which scourged the city last year,
and they are inclined 20 look with eXag-
Cerated suspicion upon the children Of
the tenemCuts amid which the epidemic
ragged. The fund has therefore prom
ised its friends IN the country that il
viii not relax in its efforts TO make
sure that no disease carriers are sent
out in its parties
The children who are passed by the
funds censor to-day Will leave the city
tomorrow at various times during the
day Those who are passed on Friday
will be sent away on Saturday. The
examinations will be continued on Sat
urday for children who are to be sent
away on Monday.
That a great many people, besides
the children themselves. have been
planning for these Fresh Air vacations
during the past few days is evident
from the lists Of contributors 20 The
Tribune Fund, which have been pub
lished in that time The total of con
tributions for Tuesday was over $1,000,
while the gifts received yesterday were
more than $500. But the need Of out
ings is very great this year, and large
sums must be given in support Of the
work if 10 is 20 cover the field ade-
quately.

The New York Rowing Association
smashed a tradition of many years
standing when il transferred the
Memorial Day regatta from the Harlem
River TO the course in Bayonne. For
forty years and more the oarsmen Of
New York and their guests have fought
their battles with sweep and scull over
the waters Of the Harlem. Time there
was when the course was ideal, but
that was many years ago. Now an
oarsman firts with low fever IN pro-
polling his she'll over the fetid waters.
Great trunk sewers empty into the
river. drift wood cutters the course.
and the river traffic makes rowing a
precarious occupation AZ best.
There has been some talk of build
ing a new course along the shores Of
Pelham Bay, but nothing has come OF
il. So New York. with more than a
dozen boat clubs, is without a suitable
rowing course. Loyalty. perhaps.

hut their arguments were swept aside.

Oarsmen will meet in executive SEES

tails 10 be discussed is the standing
of Tom Rooney. of the Ravenswood

pion of America. Rooney has been IN
the employ of the City Of New York
as a playground attendant for several
years. The question of whether or not
his work places him in the category o.
professionals will be settled.

Title Play at
Indoor Polo to
Begin This Week

The indoor polo championship for
the season will be decided at Durland's
next week in the playing Of the games
for the Leeming indoor polo champion
ship cup, which must be won twice by
the same team before becoming its per-
manent property.
In 1915 the Brooklyn Riding and
Driving Club Lavenders won leg on
this cup. In 1916 the Durland TRAN
giles proved the strongest team in the
league and wbnz the right TO the cup
for the year.
This season, although many more
teams than ever before have entered
this championship contest. the feeling
in indoor polo circles is that the Tri-
angles (Messrs Bartle, Kinny and
sherman, last seasons winners, will
win the second and final leg on the cup,
because the Trisngles the highest
handicap team IN the indoor league
have not lost single game this win
ter. and as the Leeming cup contest
is played on the fat they should have
10 rather easy.
