collegiate varsity race at Poughkeep.
•ie tomorrow and their coaches, Jim
Rice, of Columbia (on the left) and
"Pop” Courtney, who is photograph
ed shouting orders to his charges
through a megaphone, are famous

Poughkeopsle, X. Y., Ju e 26.—On

settled over this region. At the training
camps of five of the biggest universi

work of the last two weeks, so as to

crucial test tomorrow.
Every incoming train brought scores
upon scores of enthusiastic and noise-
making partisans of the different crewt?
who insisted upon seeing their favor
ites and celebrating with them in hon
or of the coming event. But they were
disappointed In having to steer clear
of the athletes, each of the coaches iso
lating his proteges as far as possible,
from the bedlam that reigned. A try
ing time it was for the quintet of the
country’s foremost mentors in oas-
manship—Courtney, Ten Eyck, Rice,
Ward and Vail—who shoulder the re
sponsibility for the showing of the na
tion.
On all hands it Is declared that to
morrow’s varsity race will produce the
greatest contest in tbe history of this
rowing classic and hard fights are
promised also in the dashes of the
freshmen eights and varsity fours. Not
since the great race of 1^)05 has there
been such an assemblage of first cali
bre oarsmen competing. As usual, Cor
nell is the heavy favorite to win the
varsity race, with Columbia backed
be filled mostly with veterans. Things
changed, however, as the veteran men
tor developed from his novices several
men superior to those in last year’s
boat. After many shifts and substitu
tions, he has selected a combination
that stacks up as one of the best sent
forth by Cornell in several years—and
the Ithacans have been winning the
event regularly almpst as long as any
body can rmember.
The new eight-oared shell built by
John Hoyle, in which the Cornell
crew was scheduled to row this year,
has been abandoned because the men
could not get usd to it and preferred
the old one, accordingly Courtney will
send his men to the mark in the old
Hoyle shell which has won two suc
cessive years.
L.ast June Courtney w’as quoted as
saying he would rather have his fresh
men in the varsity race than the first
eight. But the same condition does not
hold forth this year, although the first
year crew could not be called a weak
one. The Cornell varsity four has done
fair work in trial spina.
When the Cornell oarsmen go out
on the river tomorrow, they will be
boated as follows;
Varsity Eight—Elliot bow; Bates 2;
Lum, 8; Kruse 4; Wakely, 5; Distler,
6; Ferguson. 7; Bowen, stroke, and

Coming out of the West unheralded
by achievements in actual competition,
Wisconsin is the unknown quantity of
the race. The Badgers row^ the famous
Harvard stroke—taught them by Har
ry Vail, formerly assistant under Coach
Wray, of Harvard. When the Western
ers got out for their initial tuning up
spin last week, jtt was the first time
the true Crimson swing had been seen
on the Hudson. It was plain, however,
that they had been going under wraps
since their arrival here, partly to keep
their real ability unknown and partly
because of their unfamiliarity with
the ebb and flow of the tide. When
they dipped their oars for the first time
into the Hudson, the contrast startled
them. One of the freshmen asked
Coach Vail w'hether it was the salt
that made his oar pull “so funny.”
Vail has also had trouble in keeping
an occupant in No. 5. MacMiller, a vet
eran, was expelled from the crew a
month ago and his varsity letter taken
from him because he broke training
rules in Smoking a big, black cigar.
Samp, w’ho took his place, has been
bothered with blood poisoning in his
hand, and the member is still a little
weak.
The Bs’.ager freshmen are the star
of the Westerner’s fleet. The coach
is enthusiastic about i*iS farmers. The
W'isconsin freshies are expected to
have easy sailing, if stories that have
leaked out can be depended upon. The
Badgers did not enter a four. The men
in their two boats will take positions
as follows:
Varsity Eight—Templeton, bow*; 2,
Rogers' Sieblom, 3; Roberts, 4; Samp,
5; Pollock, 6; Krantz, 7; Hare, stroke,
and Corley, Coxswain.
Freshman Eight—Kennedjf, bow;
Cuff. 2; McCleod, 3; Wright, 4; Graf,
5; Termanson, 6; Rideout, 7; Tasker,
stroke, and Fletcher, coxswain.
Ellis Ward has primed his Pennsyl
vanians to win the varsity fours,w^heth-
er they perform creditably in the
more important race or not. The four
is the pet hobby of the Blue and White
coach, w'ho made his reputation in the
noted Ward four in which he rowed at
bow. The shell in which the Quaker
four will race this year is modelled
after the shell in w'hich the Ward com
bination rowed to , so many victories.
Although it is practically unmanage
able for almost any other college four,
Ellis Ward has succeeded In teaching
his four its secrets. It will be a keen
blow' to Ward if this combination is not
returned vicurious.
Mulford, at bow, has had plenty of
experience as a steersman, having
experience as a steersman,having row
ed bow in the secound 4 of a year ago.
Barrett, at No. 2, rowed in the freshman
in the second four of a year ago. Bar
rett, at No. 2, rowed in the freshman
crew of two years ago, and for a
while this year, he made a bid for a
seat in the eight. Thompson, at No.
3, rowed in the freshman crew three
years ago, and has been a candidate
for the varsity each year ^ince. Ma-
deria, at stroke, set the pace for last
year’s freshman eight. A peculiar fea
ture of this year’s four is that Browne
and Thomas, members of the four of
a year ago,'both failed to make seats.
With Tom Reath, veteran stroke,
lost to the crew, and Hoagland new to
the position, Pennsylvania’s eight can
not hope to do much. The freshman
outfit also is not as strong as in for
mer years.
The Syracuse crews have had a dis
astrous year, and Jim Ten Eyck kjept
them at home to practice on famiftar
w’aters until the last few' days. Their
defeat at the hands of the Middies at
Annapolis does not sbow them in a
very formidable light in tomorrow’s
race, but reports from the up-state
town, where they made their last trial
against time, itdicates that they will
prove stronger than might otherwise
be anticipated.
The Syracuse crews will be made
up as follows:
Varsity Eight—Stroke, Thurston;
No. 7, Vaughan; No. 6, Capt. Williams;
No. 5, Frawley; No. 4, Grimm; No. 3,
Topping; No. 2, Bobbitt; bow, Gregg;
coxswain, Richardson.
Varsity Four—Stroke, Hall; No. 3,
Crlmmins; No. 2, Noxon; bow, Klock.
Freshman Eight—Stroke, Summer
ville; No. 7, Hiflinger; No. 6; Daw
son, No. 5, Abbinger; No. 4, Robbins;
No. 3, Rutan; No. 2, Crawford; bow,
Butler; coxswain. Goes.
The stewards of the Intercollegiate
Association decided to return to the
original course for the regatta this
year. All the crews w ill row under the
second span of the Pougbkeepsie
bridge, and the outside crew will row
90 feet from the nearest bridge pier,
disposing of the danger of eddies. The
drawings for position resulted as fol
lows:
Varsity—Pennsylvania, 1; Columbia,
2; Syracuse, 4; Pennsylvania, 5.
Freshman—Cornell, 1; Columbia, 2;
Wisconsin, 3; Syracuse, 4; Pennsyl
vania 5.

TRAIN MARS MONEY COUNT.
Bethlehem, Pa., June 26.—While
counting over the money receipts of
the day as he was driving home,
Butcher John Heintzleman, of Bow-
manstow'n, did not notice the approach
of a passenger train as he drove on the
railroad trades at Lehigh Gap. The
train crashed into tlie team, killing
both horses and catapulated Heintz
leman 25 feet, where the trainmen
found him dazed, cut and bruised and
still counting a fistful of money.

It will be seen from the above that
not a Charlotte pitcher is above the
.500 mark, but Hankie is near It with
7 won and 8 lost. Bausewlno has won
5 and lost 6, while Scheelley has won
4 and lost 5. Charlotte has never won
a game from Boyle, of Winston, Ca
shion, of Greenville; Eldridge, of
Greensboro; Hill, of Spartanburg;
Swindell, of Winston, and Walters, ot
Greensboro.
Winston leads in attendance, with
14,159 people at 19. games. Following
are the attendance figures.
The Chronic Kicker
There is one type of man who ought
to be stopped by injunction from his
nefarious work. He is seen in every
grandstand and on every bleacher. His
presence is more to be feared than a
pstilence and the fans in his imme
diate neighborhood always turn up
their collars to escape his contaminat
ing influence. He is the chronic kicker.
Good fans may come and go, but the
croaker we have always with us. He
sits with a melancholy face and at ev
ery brilliant play shakes his head and
mutters of how the old fielders would
have handled that hit so differently.
If the local team is winning he has
little to say beyond a few ghastly pre
dictions that luck is breaking with
the team—that it cannot last, that
So-andSo will slump soon, and can not
keep the pace, and that the team will
find out what it Is up against when
it meets Such-and-Such a club.
If the team is losing he comes as
near smiling as he ever does. He has
all kinds of criticism of what would
have happened if advice that he
thought of long ago had been taken.
The croaker is not only a chronic
bore, but a real detriment to the
game. His whole influence is depress
ing on the crowd about him, and we
all know how much of an Inspiration
and vital element of success to the
home team is the attitude of the crowd.
It is the team, and no one can over
rate its importance.
The croaker is his own worst ene
my. He is denying-himself the privi
lege of enjoying the greatest game on
the face of the earth, and is Interfering
with the enjoyment of others. If it Is
necessary to have a constitutional
amendment that he be suppressed
we most heartily advocate that it be
done at once, for no work in baseball
is more cryingly urgent

This is the story of the Wampus
ball and of the soft-voibed Southern
you who gave its reason for existing,
says a special dispatch to the Atlanta
Georgian from Denver, Col. This ia to
tell you why Benjamin Franklin Har^
ris is going ahead by leaps and bounds
to an enviable position among ti^e,
pitchers of the Western I^gue and'
performing so scandalously well that
big league scouts have one eye fixed
attentlToly upon him.
The W'ampus ball Is a floater. It
starts rather high, but has a sharp
break, either down or to the side. The
break isn’t wide enough to confuse a
catcher, but it will make batters sweep
large circles in the air trying to hit
it. When the husky young Harris, who
invented it—name and all—throws this
particular ball amongst his large rep
ertoire he curies the first three fin
gers of his throwing hand until his
nails touch the leather. The ball 1ft
caught with his thumb and little fln*
ger and this sort of position puts the
king of English on the sphere that
makes it do the aforementioned things
to itself when It leaves a pitcher’s
hand—no, it isn’t the knuckle ball,
either. There now, all you hopeful
kiddles get busy and see what you
can do with the Wampus balL
