Local Baseball Players Hope
to Start Princeton Cup
Series Tomorrow
ROWING WILL STAY

After two unsuccessful efforts the In
terscholastic League baseball teams will
endeavor to get away to n flying start In
the games for the Princeton Cup tomorrow
afternoon. Four contests. bringing eight
OF the best scholastic mines in this vicinity
together will probably attract some 10000
spectators.
Interest In the Central High-West Phila-
delphia game will be particularly keen, in
view OF the fact that the orange and Blue
youngsters would rather beat Central High
than any other team in the league, and be-
cause the Crimson and Gold has not for
gotten what happened during the football
season. The game will be at the West
pnlies field.
Philadelphia Trades School played splen-
did baseball against kennett Square High
School on Saturday, and will bear watching.

sport, reports to the contrary notwithstand
ing There will be no meeting of the super
visory committee today to discuss this ques-
tion and so far as is known of officials OF
the schools no meeting of any kind has been
called to discuss this topic.
In speaking of rowing among the
schoolboys of this city one of the members
of the supervisory committee said:
You can say that the committee decided
not to abolish rowing. This was given out
by Mr.. Dawson, the secretary, and 1t is
correct Some slight changes in the rules
may be made in the future. Rowing will
be continued at the schools"

Peoples Regatta Prob
ably Will Be Held. on
Schuylkill, as Sched-
uled, on July a

THE calling off of the American Henley
L regatta by the stewards Of the American
Association has caused n Encouragement of
training schedules by the local clubs which
were preparing crews to go to the starting
lino On May 12. AS all the events in the
Am erican regatta called for senior sweeps
or 50 uls, 1t Ia tns class that II affected.

Malta have been broken up to row In other
events in the Schuylkill Navy regatta. and
VIII most likely be got together again for
the senior eight races in the Peoples Re-
gatta on July 4. if the big meet is sched-
ulcd.
All the Schuylkll Navy clubs have had
crews in training for the American regatta
for some weeks, and would have supported
the meet with representative entry list,
but as the main events were devoted to
aquatic battles between Harvard Yale,
Princeton, Syracuse. Cornell, Annapolis and
me University OF Pennsylvania. and all
but the last two named have abandoned
their seasons crew training there was
nothing else to do but call the big meet of.
The weather has proved quite a handicap
for the oarsmen during the last week, but,
nevertheless, the junior crews. which
monopolize most Of the events in the
Schuylkill Navy regatta logged out in
heavy rowing uniforms. have braved the
chilly blasts blowing over the course and
been put through their PAGES by the various
coaches and captains.
The Junior Race
To win the junior eight -oared shell race
in the Schuylkill navy regatta. has al
ways been a coveted honor among the navy
clubs and to this end all the clubs are bend
ing their energies as the senior cights are
out of the running for the time being. At
the present time Pennsylvania Barge, Malta
Vesper Crescent and Fairmount Rowing
Club have crews in the making. The Malta
and Vesper crews are the farthest advanced.

Meeting Tonight
It is not likely that the University Barge
and the Philadelphia Barge Clubs VIII figure
much In the navy regatta. The victories of
these two clubs havo always been con-
spcpus in the Schuylkill navy champion
ships, but the two clubs virtually have given
up hope OF entering crews this year. The
men who have made up their victorious
crews in recent years are almost all mem
bers of the national guards. or the First
City Troop and have either been called
to the colors or expect to be in the near
future
The Schuylkill navy board meets tonight
to arrange for the Schuylkll navy regatta
to be rowed on the SchuylkilI June 16, and
also award the dates for rowing the club
and. interclub regattas on the upper and
lower Schuylkil courses. 1t is thought
that the trophies to be awarded the win
ners this year will not be as expensive as
formerly and that part of the regatta funds
will be devoted to one of the war funds.

The kidneys are the most over
worked organs of the human body,
and when they fail in their work of
altering out and throwing on the
poisons developed in the system,
things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings Is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back;
highly colored urine; loss of appetite;
Indigestion; irritation, or even stone
in the bladder. These symptoms indi-
cate a condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal malady, Brights
disease, for which there is said to be
no cure.
