ssttss. and probably will send some
srrws TO row In the Harlem Regatta
~ Memorial Day, as well as to the

/ Tho boys have answered the call ol
Coach Muller with enthusiasm. and the
sIub is a busy place. 1t will be re :
,~snnbered that Muller was formerly
roach of the Vesper crews. having
mined that club in 1910. He rowAd in
: number Of crews for that club. until

m coaching the Bachelors. he is also
IN charge of the Episcopal Academy

together n Junior double and innior
centipcde. w. w, Shoemaker will take
care OF intermediate single rowing for
the present, and will be entered in the
American Regatta next month.
Gilmore Is Fast
W. r. G. Gilmore will do the senior
single sculling for the club. He is row.
Ing much faster than ever before. and
should prove a formidable contender
this year in any race in which he enters.
Last year in the Canadian national
championships. he finished second to
Belvea,. the Canadian champion. Gil
maker, and row in first doubles in the
American Regatta. .......
The club has a number Of good
juniors from which to pick an eight,
among whom ARE Roberts,, Lorimer,
Neal, Townsend, Whelchan. Morris,
Richie, Goldman, Davis and Sproul,
together with Eddie Mitchell, who left
The University of Pennsylvania last
week to enter the business world. Last
year he was captain and stroke Of the
University of Pennsylvania crews.
Jellinek, who is now rowing in the
Penn varsity crew, will row for the
club later.
On June "a, after lapse of several
years. the Bachelors will meet the
Cndine oarsmen In n dual regatta. This
was formerly an annual event but during
The war was discontinued. #
The Bachelors are doing much to en-.
courage rowing in the prep school, and
have loaned Episcopal : Academy an
eight and four, In which to train. There
Is talk of the alumni Of the school rais-
!hs money enough ta buy the necessary
equipment for the boys. but up to this
time not enough has been put up to do
much. w
Stone Throwing 80 .
last Sunday Earl Jordan. Of the
Nest Philadelphia Boat Club, was row.
Ing under Columbia Bridge In an eight
when a stone thrown, from the bridge
hit him on the head, fnfiicting such a
wound as to nccessitsteN iils being taken
out Of tho shell. '1fe-was put in the
police boat, which took him back to the
boat club.
Some years ago there vas consider
able agitation about stones and other
missiles being thrown ut crews and
oarsmcn from Girnrd Avenue and Col
umbia Bridges. 1t was not until after
several shells were damaged and two
oarsmen injured that the. .ip1ljce author
tiles took stringent acEion. On &C.
count Of the very thin. materials Of
which the shells are made, it takes
little to damage them, not to speak of
the personal injuries which might be
involved, and the Oarsmen are in hopes
that the proper authorities will take
the matter In hand Immediately.
Now that Walter Hoover, of Duluth,
has cancelled his engagement with Paul
Costello on June 3, for the Philadel.
phia Gold Challenge Cup. the only
plausible way to, compete for this cup,
according TO well-nown Oarsman, Is
TO have same contested for in the Peo-
PIES Regatta, which will be held here
on July l.
!, There are only three or four men in
the country today. really in the tlass
to contest for this cup. It would be
an added attraction to the Peoples
kesata'if this race were placed on the
Ths committee in charge Of the cup
could easily determine from the list OF
rhallcngefs' who would be the most
worthy At tho present time there is
really no holder of tho cup, as Jack
Kelly announced last year nc would re.
IRE. and the only logical way to earn
me cub would be to put it in nioIen com.
retiticn, and let the winner be chal-
