coxswain who had a megaphone strapped
to his head. The Field commented on it,
The Argonauts by the way, borrowed the
idea from the high school crew of this
city, which used the megaphone at Phila-
delphia.
Some of the Rochester players blame
good deal of the trouble the team is con-
stantly running into on Burke. He prob
ably helRs, but the master mind is Buck
enburger. He has never yet been con-
nected with a team that has not had an

There seems to be a hitch over trans

nine clubs to make the game. President
Soden says Boston will never consent, and

O'Hagan and Burke of Rochester are
getting called in every city for their
rowdyism, and Pat Powers will have to
discipline them pretty soon or they will be
owning the league. Under Buckenberger's
tuition they think nothing of putting a
player out of the game by deliberate in
