of this week for Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, in each of which he has
a bout scheduled.
Each Of the bouts is scheduled for
six rounds. and decision will be rem

constructed in the center of the large
riding hall at Fort Myer and a plat
form and seats are being specially ar
ranged around the ring so that all may
get close views of the bouts. With the
exception of the actual expenses of
holding the events every cent taken in

turned over to the athletic fund of the

Of Columbia National Guard.
For the last couple of weeks certain
criticisms have appeared in newspapers
regarding the course on the Severn river
at Annapolis, where the big intercollegiate
regatta Is to be held this spring. May %.
These criticisms have been centered on
the crookednes of the course Such criti-
cisms are not based on fact, but prob
ably on cursory knowledge of the con-
ditions prevalent on the Severn. The
United States coast and geodetic survey
map shows that the finish is clearly visible
from the starting line and that there will
be no difficulty about the coxswains hav-
ing to change their courses This open

ditions which will govern the race and
sets forth the actual worth of the route

hold an informal patriotic regatta on the
Severn river at Annapolis about May IS.
This decision of the Henley stewards was
enthusiastically received by every one
who has the interests of the sport at heart.
within the past few days it has been
noticed that various criticisms have ap-
peared in the press regarding the
adaptability and availability of An
napolis and the Severn river course for
this regatta. stating that the course
was full of crooks and turns. sandbars,
shadows. etc. The accompanying chart.
which is correct copy of the Mary
land state survey. shows that the
Severn river two-mile course is con-
tanned in a body of water more than
half mile wide with a depth of twenty
feet over the entire length and breadth
of the course. The finish line of the
course is just above the railroad bridge,
which is clearly seen by the coxswains
OF the racing crews from the starting
line. and which is very convenient in
giving range for the coxswains to
steer by.
I'm my opinion the Severn river race
course is not equa1ed by any in the

CINCINNATI, March 16.-Christopher
Mathewson has aroused Cincinnati fans
by warming up in practice at the Reds

was credited with sixteen put-outS
and sixty-one assists, without an
error.

said that he would remain in Macon
for several days. if not longer. NO

and quarter will be possible by starting
the horses in the chute and having them

Entry blanks will be mailed to owners
at Havana and Hot Springs, those whose
stables are now quartered at Benning,

MANY STAb[ESDUE
At ARLINGTON MEET
Fifty Additional Stalls Being
Built to House Horses
at Amateur Races.

With entries coming in faster than
had been anticipated, an order was given
yesterday for the building of fifty addi-
tional stalls at the new Arlington Park
race course, just across Highway bridge,
where military and amateur racing is to
be revived in Washington at a. fve-day
meet beginning April %.
This will make a total of $50 stalls. and
it is expected that others will have to be
built to accommodate owners, now rae
ing at Havana and Hot Springs, who will
start north with their stables just before
the local meet opens.
Manager Melvin c. Hazen has had a
number of racing men inspect the plant
in the last few days and without excep-
ton they have expressed the opinion
that there is no amateur establishment
of its kind in the country that approaches
it either in extent or excellence of facili-
ties. Ernest Utterback of Manassas, Va,
whose colors frequently are seen in Mary
land, believes that it will prove the fast
est half-mile track in the country. IL is
laid out in fact, over a portion of the Old
Alexandria Island track. which in its
day was said to be the fastest circuit in
the United States.
