SPORTS. 31 Banner Season in Aquatics Promised : Quints in Third Round of Title Tourney NEARLY THIRTY REGATTAS OF IMPORTANCE CARDED Many Sections to Be Represented in Collegiate Eveny on Hudson—Crews Already in Water Despite Adverse Conditions. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, March 6—Sweaters, woolen underwear and heavy socks constitute the garb these days of the candidates for the varsity crews. Most of them are on the water now, and the winds of March are keen, the sunlight thin, and the surface of the water writhing in wind-blown petulance. Standing in the bow of a coaching launch today, the writer had the impression of a boatload of Arctic explorers on a small boat journey rather than a shell filled with young men emulous for intercoliegiate rowing laurels. There were miniature bergs and floes, which tested the skill of the muffled coxswain. And was it cold? But other days will come—days of blue, vernal skies, waters bathed in mellow sunlight, river banks lush With reed and grass and green meadows stretching away. Herein lies the.poetry of rowing. and when you add the zest of competition you find a lure that keeps voung men working in boat and on rowing ma- chines month after month while their classmates lead I of comparative idlene Outlook Is Rright. The outlook for 1925 is one of great Promise so far as aquatics are con- cerned.

The mutiny culminated in the entire team being moved into one of the leading hotels Iin the Are de Triomphe district in Paris.

GOTHAM BALL CLUBS HAVING DIFFICULTIES | By the Associated Pres NEW Gra YORK, March 6.—John Mec- manager of the New has more serious things do than to ride as king of the orange blossom festival in Sarasota. ' He ac- cordingly has resigned from his throne, to which he was chosen by popular vote, in favor of Jack Bent- ley, his star left-handed pitcher. George Kelly has not reported. Neither has he signed, although he s expected to do both next week.

Urban Shocker spent the day in bed with a cold. Tom MclIntyre, Boston College infielder, pulled up lame with a “charley horse.” “Squire” Ebbets heard the salary dispute case of Dutch Henry, south- paw hurler, at Clearwater, Fla., aft- er which Henry signed.

TEAM | NNAPOLIS, Md., March 6.—Spike ‘Webb. the boxing coach at the Naval Academy. has picked the mittmen who will oppose Catholic varsity here tomorrow evening. 5 His choice was somewhat con- tracted by the fact that Gus Lentz and Dick Collins, his heavyweight and 115-pound boxers, respectively, are under scholastic restrictions. Lentz is the big foot ball guard, weighing 220 pounds, and the visiting heavyweight will not have to stand up against his bombardment. Collins is an extremely clever lad and strong for his weight. Webb will use Huck, son of former Congresswoman Winifred Mason Huck of Chicago, in the 115-pound clasé, and moving up some of his other boxers. This is the selection for tomorrow: 125 pounds, W. S.

The schedule will be finally decided upon at the annual meeting of the District Golf Asso- ciation Monday night at the Racquet Club. The Middlé Atlantic body will for mally certify its 1925 tournament to the Maryland Country Club of Balti- more and will select dates for this | year's event, at the same time pick- ing a course on which next tournament will be played. The Washington Golf and Country Club will bid for the 1926 event, according to Dr. James T. McClenahan, chair- man of the greens committes. While the District Golt Association has no direct jurisdiction over the club events held about Washington each year, it has been the custom to set the dates for the Spring events at the annual meeting of that organ- ization. The District association really has direct power only to set dates for the District amateur cham- pionship. the junior champlonship and, with the co-operation of the pro- fessional association, the open cham- pionship of the District. Members of the Women's Golf Association of the District will meet at the Willard the afternoon of April 4 to set dates for the women's events about the eity. The Spring and near Washington will be one of the heaviest on record, according to the present line-up, with six local clubs seeking Spring dates and _with two dates already selected by Balti- more clubs for thelr events, while the Middle Atlantic Golf Association championship will come along at the end of the Spring schedule. year's tournament season in| Town and Country Club and Con- gressional Country Club are the two clubs which will seek Spring dates this year which did not hold Spring events last vear. Washington prob- ably will start off the season with its annual tourney. but whether that event will be held during the first week end in May or the next week end has not been decided. Upon this decision will hinge in a measure the dates for the other tour- neys, for Washington is usually ac- corded the privilege of starting the season. If Washington holds its tour- nament on April 30, May 1 and 2, it will conflict with the Gibson Island tournament, which has scheduled an event for May 1, 2 and 3. R. Lee Slingluft of the Maryland Country Club is scheduled to be pre: ident of the Middle Atlantic Golf A sociation, with Dr. McClenahan slated to be vice president. Tom Moore president of the Indian Spring Golf Club, is In line for the presidency of the District Golf Asso- clation to succeed Herbert T. § non of Columbia. The association probably will discuss a proposal to charge a membership fes of $10 to clubs on its roster. Thers is no mem- bership fee charged at present, the only income of the association being the $2.50 charge for entrance fees, which last vear did not raise enough money to pay the cost of prizes.

SPITE of the fact that game I hunter insists on helping it on its road to extinction. currence which illustrates what I mean: keeps decreasing, a certain type of Here is an oc- Jim Simpson of the Red Ranch, in the Gros Ventre Mountains, on the eastern edge of Jacksons Hole, last Fall took a ride out into the nearby hills to see what was happening to the elk that had been driven down from the mountains by early October snows—had been driven, in fact, Through his glasses Simpson sa#w a large herd of elk coming down a draw into the lowlands of the Gros Ventre River. He saw two hunters, whom he recognized as a State Sen ator and his son, approach on horse- back. They saw the elk and dis- mounted. They established them- selves in cover and awaited the ap- proach of the herd. ‘When the elk came within range they opened fire. Instead of picking out an animal each and killing it, they evidently fired wildly into the herd. They fired 16 shots as fast as they could. When they finished shooting, not having killed any ani- mals, they mounted and rode away. There were plenty of elk about and they did not have to chase cripples. But Simpson, seeing some of the animals go lame, rode over another pass and headed them off. When he came to them he found one spike bull, two cows and one calf badly wounded. One of the cows was shot through the stomach and was barely able to walk, all humped up. The little calf had a shattered leg. There were other stories told, too, 10f hunters who, because of the Jarge numbers of elk that were driven out of the hills by the storm in the midst of the hunting season, did not bother to chase cripples, but kept shooting until they killed an animal dead, and he fell in a convenient place. Not all of our blg game Is in the ‘West—not by a long shot. Deer hunt- ing Is better in some Eastern States right now than it is in many of the famous big game regions of the West. In the little State of Vermont, which would hardly make a fair- sized dot on the maps of some of the Western commonwealths, 1,541 deer were legally killed this year. The value of this meat as food was es- timated at $35,324. In a hunting season lasting one week 2,033 deer were killed in. the | into the arms of a thousand waiting hunters. TROPHIES AWARDED ST. ALBAN'S TOSSERS Members of St. Alban's 130-pound basket ball team will be presented with silver basket balls in recognl- tion of their work in winning the title of the Inter-Prep School ILeague.

Let what is to follow golf you can make no greater mistake than in playing a shot which | 's always best to concentrate on the | wait until you get to it. | The end of a particular match with Chick Evans was tragic from my | viewpoint, but as [ look back upon aspect of which nobody but I knew. After T had squared the match on, the thirty-sixth we halved the first extra hole and went on to the second extra, or thirty-eighth This hole is about 350 yards long. You drive over a hill about 140 vards from the tee and, catching the slope beyond, are apt to get a good roll, leaving you with a short pitch to the green, which is an island affair, trap- ped all around. I got a very good 260-vard drive straight down the center, but Chick sliced pretty well to right, his ball coming down in the midst of the gallery. It hit some one and then stopped on a nasty down-hill side-hill slope, 160 yayds off the green. It was a very bad lie and I was not surprised when Chick, on his next play, fell short of the landed in one of the deep protective traps. To add to his bad luck, his ball found a deep heel print. To me it seemed that I now had the match in my bag. “This looks easy to me,” I told my caddle. My lie was not bad, although-it was a bit down hill and the ground was almost bare of grass. But I was anxious to be well up to the flag and not in that trap with Chick. To do this it was necessary to cut the ball sharply. In some way I failed to perform my job perfectly. I pitched to the far side of the green and the ball went handsomely over into a trap at the rear. Had the pitch been only a few inches shorter, I would have held the green. As it was, the match now be- longed to anybos Why cigars have such a wonderful box trade? Because Business Men like to have them handy for friends and customers. They’re so mild, big and fragrant.
