ONLY SPORADIC SHOOTING

Washington, July 23-Although
there was sporadic shooting in some
of the negro districts until early this
morning, the casualties from last
nights clashes between whites and
negroes, consisted of one white man
killed and another probably fatally in
jured.
An all night rain, together with the
presence of two thousand heavily arm
ed troops, and seven hundred police
and several hundred home defense
guards acted as a deterrent upon or
ganized mob violence.

of the lid of the 1910 rowing season
yesterday and the national course Of
the Schuylkill was the scene of many
impromptu brushes between blndesmen
of the rival rowing organizations
which cluster near Fairmount Dam.
While Sunday training will be in
the ascendancy for the next few weeks,
or at least until the various captains
along the Row" get a line on their
new material. ali signs point to a
season which will transcend pre- war
activity. The Schuylkill Navy was
hard hit by enlistment into the. ma :
tional service. but the men are coming
back rapidly and virtually all the clubs
have started recruiting campaigns to
add new material to their rowing
forces.
Many Contests
There will be plenty of contests TO
try the skill of the local knights this
season. as every regatta OF magnitude,
with the exception of the national
championships, will he rowed on the
Schuylkill. the national regatta having
gone to Worcester, Mass.
The first meet to bring the local
rowing talent to the front will be the
American regatta on May 81. This
will be followed by the annual Schuyl-
kill Navy regatta June 81. The Peo-
PIES regatta July 4 and the Middle
States regatta on Labor Day.
Philadelphia has not yet been chosen
as the scene for the Middle States
championships, but it is understood in
rowing circles that when the association
holds its annual meeting in this city
shortly, the Schuylkill course will be
chosen.
River Crowded
Virtually every club in. the Navy
had one or more crews on the river.
while single and double scullers were
numerous.
