TOROW NATIONAL
REGATTA in FALL
President Pilkington An
nounces T h Classic
Will Be Held This Year
PREDICTS FINE SEASON

New York, Jan. e.-James Pilkington,
president of the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen, yesterday stated that
the rowing regatta which decides the
American championships will be held
this summer. He further said that he
believed that this will be the greatest
boating season in all history.
"As president of the association said
Pilkington, 81 sent out notices to the
members of our executive committee
querying their expression of opinion as
TO the coming season. The homes of
these members are Philadelphia Boston,
Washington. st. Paul. Detroit. Spring
field. st. Louis and San Diego. This
shows the really wide representation of
the rowing sections of the country.
Many Cities Want Regattas
"All enthusiastically are in favor of
holding our regatta this season. Phil
adelphia, Worcester. Springfield. Boston,
Duluth and others all are anxious to
nave the regatta on their home waters.
Worcester, one of the famous row.
ing courses in the country, where the
great college races were held in the
early history of university boating. has
pulled out the old causeway and thrown
over a bridge across Lake Q~uinsigamond.
Thus, Worcester looks good.
Canadians Will Compete
lowing to the terrible losses which
came to the Canadian oarsmen n
other athletes it is doubtful whether the
Royal Canadian Henley at st. Gather
ines will be held this year. but the
Canadians surely will have crews at our
national regatta.

been so very active in the past. con-
tributed a great many of its youngsters

has gathered itself together and Will

American boy who ever won the dia-
mond SOULS at the English Henley, will
