According to James A. Ten Eyck, ia
ther OF Edward III. Ten Eyck, there Is
an oarsman at Harvard university who.
with proper training, can come near
winning the Diamond Sculls at Henley
in 1899. While at Cambridge the other
day looking over the crew of candidates
Ten Eyck picked out Lockett Gwin
Coleman Of the junior class as the pro-
spective Henley winner. Coleman was
born at Macon in 1877 and prepared for
college at Harvard academy, st. Louis.
He has always been prominent in foot
ball and in cycle racing, having won
IL first and two second prizes in 20 mile
road events. He is feet IL inches tall.
weighs $50 pounds and is powerfully de-
veloped. Coleman never rowed before
entering Harvard. but last year he was
a member OF the Weld crew, which won
the eight cared race at Philadelphia,
beating a field that included the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania eight. He Is
rowing i'm the Weld crew now and has
greatly improved in his style. Cole
man and his friends are greatly pleased
with Ten Eyck's favorable opinion, and
Harvard men generally hope that the
young oarsman will visit England next
year to have a try at the celebrated
AQUATIC emblem.

QUEEN CITY'S CLUB.
The Excellent Material Which Manager
Ewing Has Got Together to
Represent Cincinnati.

Now that the baseball season has fair
ly commenced the cranks are having q
chance to find out what truth there was
in the reports that are so plentiful at
the beginning Of every season as TO the
fitness OF the individual players and the
strength of the teams. The 'phenoms"
who have been discussed all winter are
now proving their worth or worthless
ness and creating feeling of joy or de-
spondency. according to the result
The general consensus OF opinion is
that the Cincinnati Baseball club OF 1898
is the strongest that ever represented
that city In the National league As a
club the organization has had a varied
experience. For the past two years the
team has been fully in the race part OF
the time and at the finish maintained
what might be termed a respectable
position" The glaring fault last sea-
son was the weak stick work of the
outfield. Captain Ewing recognized the
deficiency before the season was very
far advanced and has profited from the
lesson then taught. He has been en-
gagged during the winter months In se-
curing a promising lot Of youngsters
from minor leagues and some tried
and true material from other National
league clubs. He now feels confident
of an assured degree of success.
The eight recently acquired men
among the Reds are Pink Hawley. Will
liam Hill, Joe Goar. Algie Mcbride. H..

and ability. and the youngsters have
made a very satisfactory debut. IT il

ling in the lot As in the Chicago tlub.
the newcomers have the good win OF
their associates. and this presages ex-
cellent and effective work by the nine.
There are 10 players under contract
with the Cincinnatis. Six of them are
pitchers-namely. Breitenstein. Dwyer
Dammann, Hawley. Hill and Goar.
Hawlcy's ability as a twirler Is well
known. He has been a star ever since
his entrance to the big league. Hill was
n phenomenon in 1896. but last year he
injured his arm and could not do his
best work. All these men are expected
to pitch the best ball of their careers

OF the season. During the winter he
was advertised as a hard thrower, who
stopped the ball with his shins, which
were covered with pads. and then relied
upon his strong arm to do the rest.
But this was a dainty fiction. He is a
clean fielder and does not wear the pads
for the purpose stated. but as protec-
tion against the sharp spikes OF that
class of players who delight in cutting
up a rivals shins, and he has suffered
that unfortunate experience. After his
recovery he secured whalebone shin

keep UP the pace with which he has

continue in the place OF Holiday as

The Reds corps Of pitchers is a de-
light to the eye. The twirlers OF last

line he is an expert. and what few sore
arms existed when the players reported

to the twirlers' whips while they
were in the south. and his guarantee
that every one would jump into his
work ut and ready was fully realized.
