 Devlin has had one of the tendons of v1tk Browns for some time. HooTer, Barkey, Hamilton and McGarr f&tfened their records at Kings expense inrtheflast Kansas City-St- Louis game.
 The Cleveland club has withdrawn it's claim to Catcher Tom Daly, released by Chicago. Loftus does not think he would aid the club. He will no doubt go with Mark Baldwin to the Columbus club.
 The Worcesters defeated the Lowells to 1 yesterday. At New Haven the game with Hartford was called on ac- count of rain, the score standing 3 to 2 in favor of the visitors. O'Connell laid OuU l1OluCI W1OH PIOCIlCu U<i1ls
 The Giants have the most supreme confidence in themselves when Keefe is in the box. That's one of the reasons score to against them in the third inning was quite an achievement. The Yale Varsity crew is doing excep- tionally good practice work. The Yale freshmen will assuredly row the university of Pennsylvania freshmen, and may row the Columbia.
 The candidates for coxswains of the two Columbia crews will not be named until the men present themselves on the river.
 No date has as yet been fixed for the Harvard Columbia freshmen races. Cornell wants to row both Yale and Harvard while on the Thames, but there crews unbending to notice Oornell's first | Varsity eight.
 Cornell men are still confident that she will win the ,three-mile triangular con test over the University of Pennsylvania | and Columbia
 The Yale university orew,will be trained on the Thames river for her coming tus sel with Harvard from the steam launch Yale, said to be the fastest craft of hel inches in New England waters.
 Yale will. have two new shells on tn. Thames this year. They are of paper made by Waters & Sons, of Troy, ant cost about $4O0 each. Each crew will have one. Yale has always been luck, with paper eight-oared shells.
 The new Harvard Varsity shell Is g. feet long, 3 feet beam. and draws 8 l. inches amidships. She has steel tub, outriggers, Davis row locks and shoes Keafns roller seats and adjustabl etretchere. She Is fast, and stiffer than paper boat.
 There Is an informal agreement be tween Yale University and the Universit, of Pennsylvania to row race one weel before the Yale-Harvard event. This new departure for Yale, who has hithert looked down on these "side shows," a they are termed, with indifference. Tn contest will afford the crimson giants al opportunity to size up the condition an, work of the New Ravens and prepar to catch them on their weak points.
 In spite of several costly reverses, tn Harvard Varsity crew Is in better shap at the present time for It's annual rac with Yale at New London than the mos sanguine supporter of the crimson coul' have hoped for six weeks ago. The ere, Is rowing an entirely different strok from previous Harvard crews, althoug one thatis by no means new. It is abou the same swing and pull that most pro fessionals use In their races.
