This action was taken at a meeting held here yester- day at the call of James A. Pilking- ton, president of the National associa- tion. Members of the executive commit- tee, rcpresenting the various sectians of the country, declared that it was the concensus of opinion of officers iot the clubs in their districts that it | would be contrary to the spirit bt the times to promote a regatta. The au- tharities at Lynn concurred in this, and the regatta was declared off. With the cancellation of this avent American waters were swept clear of competitive rowing. Just a few days ago the Schuylkill navy decided 1o abandon its regattta set for June 9. The People’s regatta, rowed on July : 4 every year, also has been declared | off. The Middle States Regatta asso- ‘ clation followed the example of the others. . 'Mr. Parkington hoped up to the iast + minute that the regatta might be held. | He eald last night: “This is the first : time in almost half a century that our regatta has not been held, and I re- gret that conditions necessitate de- laring it ‘off now. There seems to be no other way, however, “Many of our young men have an- swered the call to the colors and many others are going. It would be almost impossible to hold any crew races. It is too bad for the sake of the younger , men who are just starting to row that ; this set-back should come, but in the | face of the great emergency that our country faces all minor activities must step aside. 3 ] \‘‘Duluth would be strong. The Du-' luth Boat club has about a dogen crews working, and some of them would be able to start. Moreover, , the Duluth club would have several good scullers, but this club is the ex- | ception. | “I had hoped right up to the last minute that our regatta would be held, However, this desire to sacrifice sport 1s in the air, and when the colleges cancelled their schedules all other amateur organizations followed the example. All that we can do now is, P held | wait for happier times to return to lm land.” YANKEE ADMIRERS New York,, May 17.—The prolonged | race is Baker's batting averagd 30 and his longest hit has been a double.
