BASEBALL AMATEUR AND Observation-Disclosures
FOREIGNERS AT HENLEY.
Member of the Leander Club Does Not
Believe in American Entries.

A member of the Leander Boat Club,
discussing foreign entries a Henley, in
"Harpers Weekly" comments as fol-
lows:
The names of foreign entries that at
once occur to me are Cornell Ten Eyck
and Yale. The victory of Ten Eyck in
the Diamond Sculls, in 1897, was the
second occasion on which Henley tro-
ply had been taken to the United States.
The first was also the first time tina, any
Henley prize had been not won by an
Englishman; it was in 1873 when the
Visitors Cup for four oars was carried
off by Columbia College, L. s. a.
That particular race is now confined
to college crews of the United Kingdom:
but it is not generally known taat in
1879. the very year after Columbia vic

the hitting and run-making that the
Senators have been doing is enough to
show that they are still in the game.
The Senators made seventy-seven runs
during the two weeks. and hits which
netted them 20i bases. Among those hits
are eight home runs and twenty-five
two-baggers.

of his failure to connect with the

DUFFEYS GREAT SPRINT.
Leading Authorities Still Talking About
His Wonderful Work.

Sporting men are still talking of
Arthur F. Duffey's phenomenal run of
100 yards in . 3-5 seconds. Says John
E. Sullivan. secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Union: "If there is any man
alive who can run so yards in 8 1-5 sec
onds, It is Arthur Duffey of Georgetown
University. AS a matter of fact there
is no doubt in my mind that he broke
the existing record of 6 % seconds in
his phenomenal run of 100 yards in
3-5 seconds at the intercollegiate
games last week. was near the start

Says Evert j. Wendell, former inter
collegiate champion Splinter: Arthur
F. Duffey's performance of running 100
yards in Q 3-5 seconds will go down in
athletic history as the greatest achieve
ment on the cinder path of the present
age. | never again expect to see an
other man run in such marvellous time
1t took a great occasion, a great athlete

Duffey in his effort to equal or break his

Batting Averages to Date.


The local twirlers had somewhat of 4
snap during the past two weeks with
the Western ball tossers. Patten landed
two games from the Tigers, including
one shutout, and also took a game from
the st. Louis team. He lost only one OF
his four games. Ortiz also shut out the
Tigers. He lost one game out Of three
that he pitched. Carrick won both OF the
games he pitched. Townsend was very
unlucky during the fortnight. Although
he pitched a great game against the
Chicagos. he did not have the proper
speed TO land his other games.

a Farce.
GIANTS MAKE SORRY SHOW

Shake-Up Continues to Follow
Shake-Up-0thers in Same Boat,

1t was day of rest for the National
League yesterday. all of the Western
teams being in the East Today they
get together again in the grand pen
nant hippodrome. So far it has been
a farce to the letter. and none knows 1t
better than the men who. for years,
held the sport in the hollow of their
hand. Truly their sins seemed to have
found them out" said an old follower OF
the game recently. when commenting
on the runaway Pittshurg was making.
With the possible exception of the
Chicago team. which now seems to have
shot its bolt, the others are putting up
an inferior article of ball, with now
and then an occasional squirt to jolly
the fans along. They have not even
proved warming-up material for the
champions.
Easy for the Pirates.
From the drop of the hat the Pirates
started in to romp away, and although
they have been travelling. pulled up can-
not hel3 but distance the bunch. The
others seem to be hanging on Just to
keep things together.
Already the distress signal is being
shown from the rumors of peace that
emanate each dav fl ON some National
League town. They seem to be hoping
for the best. while expecting the worst
if they are not sooner or later taken
under the protecting wing of their
younger and more energetic rival.
Such baseball as the teams in Bos-
ton. Cincinnati, st. Louis and New
York are putting up is sorrow

lar have the earmarks of being 4

tails out of them. They seem hopeless
ly destined for last ditch unless the
others collapse before crossing the line.
Scribes to Blame.
Matters perhaps would not be 50 bad
at present writing were it not for the
p. T. Barnum fashion In which thu
scribes of Gotham have carried the pub
lie along. When the season opened they
handed out to the long suffering Gotham,
public all kinds of dope. Third-raters,
has beens. and discards were jumbied
and the public informed that
once again they had the real thing in
the baseball line.
This time there was nothing like it.
The Pirates tried and experienced ball
players were to be made to look like
selling platers. The fans of the me-
tropolis were to have peep at the
real thing. All the while the syndicate
continued to grind out columns of mat
ter until at last it had to give up. o.
Race Tame One. -
Now that it is all over, and things in
every city have settled down to rock
bottom facts, and the National League
race is to be the tamest in his
tory and parody On the sport. it might
be we'll to recall what Abe Lincoln once
sagely informed a few of his friends.
and which they have handed down to
posterity.

Arrangements are almost complete fo'
the big intercollegiate regatta to be
held at Poughkeepsie on June q. and
and best ever held since the annual
event was inaugurated.
The conditions under which this re-
gatta will be rowed this year will be
The same as those which governed pre-
vious affairs of this association, with
such notifications as may be decided
upon by the stewards.
The program OF the day is as follows,

run by the West Shore Railroad to con-
meet with the observation train. and the
tickets for the train may be obtained
from c. E. Lambert, East Forty-sec-
ond Street, New York.
Georgetown Will Be Factor.
Georgetown will be decided factor
in this regatta. and it is expected that
the crew will be near or on the finish
line when the judges flag drops. Daily
practice pulls for distance are taken,
under the watchful eye of Coach Pat
Dempsey. and the character of the
work being done by the eight, which
at the beginning Of the season was al
most entirely green, is remarkable.
The workmanship is excellent and the
boat has considerable speed on at all
parts of the distance. and the boys show
an amount CT endurance over the four
mile course which is very pleasing to
the admirers of the crew.
Will Use Old Boat.
II is unfortunate that the crew will
be unable to use the new shell which
was ordered for it in the spring. but it
runs to port, it is claimed. and neccs-
sarily handicaps the oarsmen. The old
boat is good and stiff. but it is heavy
and IS several seconds slow.
Kerns, at stroke, is doing the best
work he has eve- done in his rowing
career, and the men back OF him are
doing splendidly all the way through.
The crew will leave here next Satur-
day for Poughkeepsie, and will have
full week OF practice. familiarizing it
self with the course. A large number
of students and admirers of the crew
will go to Poughkeepsie in time to wit
ness some of the practice and view the

raiding will be continued at merry clip
unless the two big leagues get together

Comiskey has been aroused by the
late hints of National League raiding
plans, and yesterday came out fat footed
with the statement that he would be
in the scramble to a finish.

sters,'' said Comiskey. II am already

If we don't get together.
AT that, though, believe that the

at the recent New York meeting of the
National League. At their present gait
the old league will have a hard time

they'll want peace before long"

Colonel Rogers. of the Philadelphia
Nationals. who is given credit OF being

proceedings that made Lajoie the most
popular animal in the baseball zoo. and
Just how he came to let him escape to

1t is said that there was a little diff
ference OF $500. Larry was worth it. At
least a thousand people would have paid
half-dollar apiece to look through the
cage at him the first day the colonel had
him on exhibition. to say nothing of
the continuous performances that would
follow through the summer months.

Lajoie is an outcast! Knowing full
well the price he was paying the big
chap has elected to play with Cleveland,
and he can never again set foot in
Pennsylvania without being liable 10
arrest for contempt of court. Larry
had made Philadelphia his home and
had expected to locate there perma-
rently. but his action in playing yester-
cay forever bars him from the State,
unless he is willing to suffer whatever
punishment may be prescribed by the
courts Is the game worth the candle?
OF course, If Laioie does not care about
returning, it is another matter. but he
probably looked at the big salary he
was offered. and the temptation was too
much to withstand.-Philadelph Rec
