PREDICTS FINE SEASON
"Xfw York, Jan. 9. James rilklngton,
president of the, National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen, jesterclay stated that i
tile rowing rcpnttn which decides tlio
American clinmiilonnhlps will bo held

believed that thin will bo tho ercateat
boating season In all history.
"As president of the association," said
Pilkington, "I sent out notices to the I
members of our executive commlttco '
querylnc their expression of opinion as i
to tho comlnff season. Tho homes of
these imembers are Philadelphia, ltoston,
Washington, St. Paul, Detroit, Spring-
field. St. Louis and San DIcro. This '
shows tho rcnlly wldo rcprescntatloh of
tho rowing sections of vtho country.
Many Cities Want Regattas
"All enthusiastically are In faor of
holding our regatta this season. I'lill- l
adetphia, Worcester, Springfield, Boston,
Duluth and others nil are anxious to
have tho regatta on their homo waters.
"Worcester, ono of tho famous row- '
lng courses In tho country, where tho
great college races were held In the
early history of university boating, has
pulled out tlm old c.iusewav and thrown
over a bridge across Lake Qulnslgamond.
Thus, Worcester looks good. ,
Canadians "Will Compete
"Owing to tho terrible losses which .
came to tho Canadian oarsmen and
other athletes It Is doubtful whether the
Iloyul Canadian Henley nt St. Cather- I
lnes will bo held this year, but the
Canadians surely will hao crews at our
national regatta.
"The Duluth Boat Club, which has
been so very nctle In tho past, con
tributed a. great many of its joungstcrs
to tho ranks, but this llvo organization
has gathered Itself together and will
have an entry In every event in this
year's national.
