Mr.. H. G. G0Odwyn, CoIiax, La.
Nv Dear Sir-The Tulane Universi-
ty Of Louisiana desires to extend its
great privileges and opportunities to
asmany deserving young men In Lou
isiana as possible. 1t seems to me
that the splendid opportunities ai-
f0rded here ore not quite known
as they should be. am writing y0u
to say that II you will recommend to
me deserving young man, believe
I can arrange for him to receive tut
tiOnfree in our academic department.
OF course. it u not desired to give
free tuition to any young man who
san afford to pay i0r it. II, there
fore, there be any young man In your
knowledge who has character, brains,
and is qualified to take up our work,
and who IL poor, such a young man
can, in oil likelihood. receive tuition
free here, upon your recommendation.
l Ishould be grateful to you, there
fore, and l believe you could serve the
cause of education in the State by
recommending TO me young man
having the qualifications mentioned,
namely: brains, preparation, charac-
ter, and financial need. Hoping you
can help me in this effort, to serve the
youth Of the State, and thanking you
for your valuable efforts in behalf oi
education, l am.
Yours very truly,
EDWIN A. ALDERMAN,
President of the University.
Referring to the above We will say
that we shall be pleased to have
young men who are ambitious for a
finished education to call at the
Chronicle Office and make formal ap.
plication to take advantage Of this
splendid offer. The authorities of Tu-
lane earnestly desire to establish q
system Of self-heIp for poor but deserv'
ing students, and it is quite likely
that an energetic and industrious
young man can make arrangements
to earn his expenses for board and
clothes in addition to getting fres
tuition.

BASEBALL
/ AMERICAN ASSOCIATION

ItNwas the old, old, story yesterday.
The millers couldn't hit at the right time.
and Kansas City walked away with the
game after eleven innings Of fast. If not
always clean, play. a=.ss,s.s
: For that matter the millers couldn't
connect with the ball much at any time
yesterday. Mcdonald, the speedy south
paw of the Kawtown aggregation, was on
the slab, and Mac pitched master
game. He really deserved to win, for
most of the locals swats which figure as
safe hits in the box score, were very
much of the scratch variety, while the
ten singles gathered by the visitors were
nered by the millers in the f1rst were due
to one scratch hit, base on balls and a
bad throw to second by Beville.
Frank Figgemeier must have overheard
remark from the grand stand to the ef
feet that he was the best pitcher on the
miller payroll, for he started off like
steam engine, and pitched steady ball all
the way through, save for temporary
ascension in the fourth and fifth, when
the kaws gathered five safe hits, sharp
fielding only keeping the score down to
two. Figg came down to earth again,
however, and the two runs in the sixehl
were only scored by the cowboys after
Breyette had overlooked !, an opportunity
to retire the side on Rothfuss' grounder.
In the seventh with first and third GOV
cred and one out, Wilmot sent Byers in to
bat for Figgemeier, and tried too late to
take back the move, after double steal
had resulted In a run and another out.
,Byers didn't do his usual stunt, and the
change of pitchers may and may not have
affected the final score Chapleski did
well for three innings, but In the eleventh
Elmer Smith sent the sphere to the street
car track on Nicollet avenue, and the
game was practically over. The details:

C0ASTING CONTEST
Cycle Dealers Are Planning Series
,.@.-.< of Novel Races.
TO BE HELD ON KENWooD HILL
Permission of the Park Board Will
De Necessary Before Contests
Are Arranged.

The cycle dealers Of this city are plan
ming a coasting contest, to be held some
time during July on Kenwood hill, If
the permission of the park board can be
secured. IS A committee has been ap-
pointed, which Is now endeavortng to get
the desired permission from the commits
sioners. ... ~ T..
Coastirg contests have long been popu-
lar in the east, but no formal races of this
character have even been held IN Mime
apolis. 1t is thought that the contest
would be great success, as no great
amount of training or practice Is neces-
sary to be successful In a race OF this
description, and consequently the entry
list is expected to be very large. .
The: contest will either be restricted to
wheels fitted with coaster brakes, Or the
contestants will be, divided into two
clases, according to the presence or alb
sence Of the brake from the machine.
The contests might be varied to include
all possible tests of the contestants 8
skill and of the machine itself. The or
thodox coasting contest is decided by the
distance rider can make from the start
ing point, standing starts only being al
lowed. Another style of contest Is de-
cided by the time required for the rider
to pass given point at the bottom Of the
hill Still a third form would test the
riders skill in stopping the machine.
The Flour City Cyclists Will move into
their new hcme July l.. The new quarters
are in the old Rand house, at the corner
of Seventh street and Sixth avenue S.
About the first of August the club intends
to give an opening party to the friends of
the members The new house is much
more conmodious than the old quarters
of the club, and is also better adapted for
the needs Of such an organization. :.
The legislative committee Of the cycle
trade association is doing a great deal of
quiet work in arousing sentiment for a
law which will make bicycle stealing a
felony. 1t Is maintained by the dealers
and riders that the penalty fixed by law
for the theft of a wheel is far too light,
as proven by the increasing number OF
thefts reported weekly. -. -

ROWING

Coach O'Dea gave the Wisconsin boats very
little work at Poughkeepsie yesterday after
noon, Notwithstanding that they had no
practice in the morning. The crews rowed
together at a slow pace to a mile above the
bridge, on the west shore, and then came
down for two miles. Until the bridge was
reached the crews merely padded, but then
they hit UP their strokes and rowed hard for
a mile. The varsity rowed four miles in all,
and never raised its stroke above thirty-four,
and a shoe broke and Coach O'Dea took the
men back to the boathouse.
The Quaker eights rowed over the course,
the freshmen picking up the varsity on their
way down the river. The position of coz
swain in the varsity seems to be in doubt
owing to Payne's Inability to get his weight
down. =, 49, AN s..-.Ef
The Cornell crew took very light work.
The varsity rowed four easy miles and the
coach scarcely spoke to them. Courtney has
definitely decided on his varsity four. Be-
ginning at bow they will be Toohil1, Ballinger,
Edmonston and Lyford. All but Lyford rowed
in the crew which defeated Pennsylvania and
Columbia last year.
Coach Sweetland sent both Of the Syracuse
crews out to practice starts in the morning.
Despite the hot sun the boats had two stiff
brushes. ..''.
Columbia boated her varsity eight and two
varsity fours. Hanlon was not pleased with
tendency to hang between strokes, which is
a serious fault in go light a crew.
The rivalry which exists between the Yale
and Harvard oarsmen broke out yesterday
afternoon, when the freshmen four-oar crews
OF Yale and Harvard met on the Thames.
The Yale crew was being coached from the
dock when the Harvard four came up the
river. followed by the launch. Before the
coaches realized It,, the two crews. when they
were abreast started off on a race up stream
and had gone 200 yards before the orders of
tho coaches were needed and the race stopped.
At that time the Yale freshmen were about
half length to the good.
The varsity four crew rowed up the river
in short stretches, and returned with racing
start, in one stretch. In all they covered
about a mile and a half
X The varsity and freshmen eights, with a
racing start, went up stream for half mile.
The varsity got tho Jump on the youngsters
at the start and gradually increased the lead
to half a length, which they held until the
finish.
The Harvard varsity crew went over the
four-naiIe course last evening under very
favorable conditions In 22 minutes and II

seconds. This Is the fourth time for the Har-
ward crew to cover the distance against the
watch since they came to Redtop.
There was fairly good tide running up
stream. as 1t had one hour to how before
turning. Consequently the crew was. carried
by the launch to the New London bridge and
from this was sent up the stream. y
The wind was from the southwest on their
port quarter most Of the way.
Under these conditions the coaches are
naturally downcast, it being thought that the
crew should so close to q minutes. One fault
that the coaches find is that the men fail to
sustain a sufficiently high stroke.
The four-oar crew did their afternoon work
and the freshmen were sent over short
stretches in front of the quarters.
