The cases OF John A. Rumohr. former
ly OF Rat Portage. Canada. and now a
member OF the Harlem Rowing club OF
New York. and Edward Hanlan Ten
Eyck OF Worcester, Mass, are the most
important the association will have 10
handle.
Rumohr was disqualified by the Cana
dian Association OF Amateur Oarsmen
I'm 1899 for reasons generally admitted TO
have been amply sufficient. Neverthe-
less his entries have been accepted since
in regattas in this country. Last July
he won the national championship from
Ten Eyck by default.
After winning the Paris race for sin
gle scullers at the National Regatta last
summer. Ten Eyck refused to represent
the association in the Paris Exposition
races unless his father. James Ten Eyck,
the veteran professional, and his cousin
Lewis were allowed TO accompany him.
The committee refused TO send the
trio, not having sufficient funds for the
purpose. and Ten Eyck stayed at home.
II will be impossible for the association

ANOTHER COACH FOR PENNSY

Josh Ward, the famous single sculler OF
the famous Ward brothers crew of Corn
wall on Hudson. has been selected 10
coach the u. of =. intercollegiate eight
this season. Ellis Ward, ais brother, the
permanent coach of Y. OF r.. will give
all his time 10 the Henley crew, and this
will give Josh chance TO blossom out
into a real varsity coach.
Josh was the handsome, stalwart mem
ber of the crew when IL beat the British
ers back I'm II, and was noted for his
skill with the SOULS and his marvellous
development.
Speaking Of his plaps in connection
with the Henley crew, Ellis Ward said
that he had no idea of changing the
stroke. He will row the same stroke that
has landed u. OF l.. ahead the past three
years, the only difference being n more
rapid stroke, with plenty OF squirting.
Capt. Flickuer says the stroke viii con-
sist of quick. clean catch. a long reach,
steady pull. using the full leg drive and
body swing, and a quick feather and
steady recovery.
Its salient and successful feature Is
the timing of the movements correctly so
as 10 get the greatest power at the posi-
tion when IL costs the least expenditure
OF energy. This feature of 1t Ward alone
can explain.
Josa was the American champion in
1889. and IRIS record OF 35m. los. for five
miles was and Is today regarded as a re-
markable performance.

BROWN WINS CHAMPIONSHIP.

BIN defeating Princeton lost Friday
night 30 and then repeating the trick
with Columbia by n score of So the fol-
lowing night, the Brown University Hook
ey team has won the championship OF
the intercollegiate Hockey League. The
league is composed OF Brown, Yale,
Princeton, Columbia and Pennsylvania,
and they finished the race in the order
named.
The team deserves great credit both for
its good playing. and for the determina-
tion of it's members TO win out even In the
face OF the mishap TO Capt. Pevear early
in the season. The men have practiced
hard and faithfully all winter long, and
have Justly earned their laurels.
The only team who succeeded in defeat
ing the Brown aggregation was Harvard.
II must be remembered, however, that
Browns team never played together be-
fore this year. and that they were Obliged
10 confine their practice 20 the condition
of tho ice at Rogers Williams Park, Of
tentimes going a week without any skat-
ing
The queer thing about the Brown team
IS that the College Athletic Association
has continually refused 10 recognize 1t.
The association freely recognizes base
ball football, and track teams. who have
never won championship honors and
have awarded the "B'' 20 their members:
yet the Hockey team. who. both this
year and in years past have Nnished the
season with clean string of victories are
not only denied the privilege OF wearing
the "B" that they have earned, but they
must also pay their expenses out OF their
own pockets.
Ii is hoped that next year will see a
change in the attitude OF the association
in this respect.

SURVIVAL OF THE FTTTEST.

Sentiment will cut little figure in the
struggle between the National league
and the American" said a lover OF base
ball the other day. 1T will resolve itself
down TO a matter of players"
Judging by the way the American
league managers have gone into the mar
ket TO secure players this observer would
seem TO have the situation about right.
The players league certainly had the
pole in the 0atter of players in 1890. but
salaries were then something tremendous.
How high they were may be imagined
when IL is stated that the salary OF the
Boston club OF the Brotherhood was
about $4,000. against $4,000 or less for the
National league club of Boston last sea-
son.
In 1890 salaries above $4,000 were not at
all uncommon. Very few men commanded
that figure last season. In order to secure
National league stars the American
league people had to offer liberal induce
ments. but no such exorbitant figures
were necessary AS were given 10 years
ago.
1t looks as II the lawyers would have
a good thing. The National league people
will doubtless have recourse TO the courts
TO enforce their claim TO players. The
American league people have taken legal
counsel. else they would not have made
such wholesale inroads into the league
camps.
President Killilea of the Milwaukee
club Is as able lawyer as the National
league can command In its ranks. and he
is positive the league contract cannot
hold water. The National league people
say the contract is binding; I'm fact. Col.
Rogers of the Philadelphia club. who is
an attorney, says he will stake his repu-
tation as a lawyer on Il. Time will show
who Is correct

team has been one OF steady improve

each day. and it Is now only those who

fair amount of accuracy I'm throwing Is

The candidates for the freshman team
were called out last week by Capt. Clarke.
Those who appeared give promise OF de-
veloplng into strong team. Some or
the freshman candidates are men who
have been trying for the varsity. and
have but lately been dropped from the
squad
They, therefore. have had some good
experience and ought 10 form a good nu-
Cleus for 1901
The class has chosen W. A. Iiall OF
Brockton, Mass. as the manager of their
team, and he would like To arrange games
with some of the nearby high schools and
athletic clubs.
The sophomores, also, have begun to
prepare for the seasons work. AT a
meeting last week Lester Il. Dodge OF
Block Island was chosen manager. Mr..
Dodge played right field last year on the
1903 team, which made such a good rec
ord.
Manager Dodge has already arranged
several important games, and would like
10 hear from some of the first class anna
