Wallace Ross Comments on Yale's
Henley Experience.
Wallace Ross. the professional sculler In
commenting on the showing made by the
Yale crew at Henley, says: You know as
well / do that the talk about English
oarsren knowing more about rowing than
they do in America Is silly.
Years ago rowed the narrow blades
and long oars and discarded the English
style OF rowing. with the seats paired, in
order to get greater leverage.
D.. Il will tell you the reason the English
men defeat American crews at Henley, and
that is so apparent that almost anybody
should be able to explain 1t the instant
he looks at the names Of the men that
make up the Leander crew.
T.. The LeanderS are picked men, who have
made big names in varsity crews or have
sculled themselves to fame in English re-
gattas
Look al the Nickalls and Hollands. all
finished scullers. who have rowed for years

boats
= 1T is not necessary to go across to get a
speedy crew: for pick eight of our best
men In this country and set them at it for
sprint of a mile and a quarter under a
good coach and they will make the boat
jump faster than the college crews.
Form Is all right in Its place. but when
you are In for dash OF that distance you
must row naturally and sit naturally IN
the boat or you will not be able to keep
hammering away for the full distance
When you see contest between the COL
lege crews of both countries in neutral wa
tiers You Will be able to decide which stroke
Is the more effective, and not until then.
Only professionals know the correct
style. and the Leanders row as nearly like
professionals any amateur crew that

offices in five INNINGS by a score of to g.
The game was called in the sixth inning on
account of the rain, which began to fall
In streams after the Bureaus had made
one run, the score reverting to the five
equal innings.
The crowd in attendance was larger than
ut any Departmental League game this
season, and enthusiasm was i'm evidence
from start to finish on the part of the root
ers of both teams. The Bureaus, however
secured lead of four runs in the first and
with three in the fourth practically clinch-
ed the victory.
The District boys were a little off in their
field work, and on account of Winkleman's
reputation were hot confident of them
selves at the bat, and so lost opportunities
when hits meant runs. The Bureau team
played good fielding game and made 10

There were base ball fans in Washington
who laughed a merry laugh when it was
bulletined that Mercer, would pitch in
Brooklyn against Payne. o young man who
has hitherto been considered a soft mark
for the local sluggers. But alas! Mercer
was the soft mark and Payne was a COM
plete course in abstruse science. Merce:
was not so very easy, bnt in the absence
OF any performance producing results at
the bat by Washington he was soft enough

and thrice did he fall while Cartwright
and Brown each furnished material for
similar performances. ss
For six innings neither side scored. Both
pitchers were working like magic. Hits
were being registered. but they came to
naught. In the seventh. however, the
Grooms broke out of the bunch and tailed
once. Two men were out when Grim sin
gled. went along when Payne was given a
base on balls, and scored when Griffin
pushed out safe hit to center In the
eighth Jones hit to center for a base and
La Chance pounded out a homer to deep
right. Jones tried to block Mcclure at the
plate in the hope of making La Chances
run home more certain, but Jim picked the
obstreperous right fielder by the waist and
wrestled him out into the grass. La
Chance, however, crossed the rubber with
q margin of time to spare. Mcclure called
on Hurst to declare Jones out for inter-
ference. but Timothy did not see it in that
light. Then DAILY went down on balls, stole
second, and scored on Grims single Grim
duplicated this performance and 1t was
Payne's single to left that tailed him with
the last run of the game. DeMontrevifle
was injured by Selbach's throw-in of this
nit, the ball taking unexpected bound
and striking DeMontreville on the knee

leave the field and German took his place.

eIence, 1t would please me to see a
