Oarsmen from the Nonpareil Rowing
Club scored brace Of victories in the
mixed swimming carnival Of rowing
and swimming races held by the New
York Athletic Club at Travers Island
yesterday, But the Mons got scare
before achieving their double win,
when pleasure craft blocked their
path in the closing yards of one of the
contests.
This occurred in the final fifty yards
OF the centipede race, when, as the
Mons were leading by three lengths, q
yacht suddenly loomed UP from be-
hind the anchored boats and almost
rammed the thin she'll Bsland, the
Mons bow, had one Of his oars broken.
The men managed to right their boat,
although it shipped considerable water.
and won by three quarters of a length
from the Metropolitan Boat Club. The
Mons other victory was in the pair
cared gig race.
The Pelham Bay sailors captured the
Dared cutter race from the Federal
Rendezvous, of Brooklyn, by one
length. The Pelham sailors got Off we'll.
but were closely pressed by the "Feds'
for the first mile. In the final quarter
the Pelham Bay men had the more re-

Lee Will Ask
That A. A. i.
Suspend Dues
Hollywood Inn Man Says
War Necessitates Such
a Course
BY A. c. Cavagnaro

Among the many changes to be urged
politan Association at the Glencoe
Athletic Club on September 16 is one
by Jimmy Lee, of the Hollywood Inn,
Yonkers. Lee realizes more than many
other local officials that. a war is on
and that the youth Of the country is
being utilized for national service.
Therefore Lee comes forward with the
suggestion that the local amateur as
sociation suspend dues for the coming
year to those clubs in good standing
at the 1917 meeting.
Lee hopes that the delegates who
attend will seriously consider his
recommendation, as the life of many
clubs Of the association depends upon
the vote In speaking unofficially upon
the subject with many officials of the
local district Lee has gained many ad-
herents to his idea. Lee maintains
that the loss in revenue will be trivial
to the association, as the deficit caused
can be realized through other sources.
In speaking Of his recommendation
Lee says:
Cat the present time athletics and
the organizations which foster them
are in pretty bad shape. owing to the
enlistment and the drafting of mem
bers. In some cases the small clubs
have been hard hit, SO hard, in fact,
that their continuance in this recre-
ative pastime is very doubtful.
"Of the 1866 clubs holding member
ship in the Metropolitan Association
of the A. A. u I doubt if more than
80 yer cent will be able to renew their
dues, and it is with a view of keeping
these clubs on the books Of the local
association until the war is ended that
the dues should be waived for the du-
ration Of the war.
Others Set Example
"This small sacrifice on the part of
the Metropolitan Association would
only be in keeping with the policy Of
