Charles Brown well-known oldtimber of
the Lurlne Boat club and amateur sculler
of distinction, is in Minneapolis accompanied
by Mrs. Brown. Mr.. Brown is now in busi-
ness in Chicago. He is the guest of Hugh
Loudon at Minnetonka this week.
Speaking of Wisconsin's defeat in the Pough-
keepsie event, Mr.. Brown said that Andy O'Dea,
the former coach of the Lurlines, who is now
in charge at Madison had a very hard and
somewhat thankless task ~
1T Is hardly a fair shake to expect O'Dea
to compete against Courtney, considering the
manifest advantages enjoyed by the Cornell
coach" said Mr.. Brown. "At Cornell they
have all the launches they need for following
at practice. Courtney can be right on the
heels of his crews, following every move and
correcting every error. The best ODea can do
is to stand ons the shore and wave his arms.
1t is a whole lot different. as every rowing
man knows. There is nothing like the college
spirit at Madison that there is at Ithaca. and
O'Dea has done wonders with the chance he
has had. .-..,-|

at little distance it is difficult to distinguish

Unfortunately in the last year or two her crews
have seemed to go to pieces, losing control Of
their slides, with the result that they row
higher stroke than they have been trained to.
Il expect to see O'Dea go to the front one
of these days and get a real chance to show
what he can do against men like Courtney, Ter
Eyck Kennedy and the others. I see they say
Andy Will have to go on account Of Wiscon

done, that may be good thing for O'Dea."

Signals Of distress are flying in several leagues.
The Texas league has dropped two of its clubs
and reduced its circuit to four cities. The Cotton
States league has lost Natchez and several Of
its other clubs are carrying heavy burden.
The collapse Of the outlaw Pacific Coast league
was expected. Spokane and Salt Lake could
not support its. teams and those of Boise and
Ogden. President O'Neill has secured new back
Ing for the Colorado Springs and ST. Joseph clubs
and hopes to keep that circuit intact. The sur.
render of the Colorado Springs franchise was not
unexpected Other club owners came to the
conclusion two months ago that Thomas F.
Burns contemplated retirement and prepa ations
were made in advance Of. the announcement of
his intentions. The Pacific Coast league has the
misfortune to have its champion team located in

the outlaw league led to the suggestion that

New York, July 1.-Mrs. c.. T. Stout's prowess
as golfer is already household word In this
country, and stories of her brilliant capabilities
have been accepted even in the land where the
game originated. Yet in all her career, or in the
career of any golfer, past or present, naught has
been chronicled WHICH in any way equals her
deeds at Baltusrol, where the annual champion

Reno, New. July 1.-Marvin Hart has devel-

his fight with Jack Root next Monday. With
the blow he has discovered he foored Jack
Mccormick, his spsrfing partner, three times III
short bout. Hart is big and strong and looks
able to travel any distance at fast pace.

on the arrival of Jack Root from Ogden, where
he did his training Root appears to be in
fine trim, and is as confident of victory as is
Hart Root will finish his training at the
Wheeman's club.
A dispatch has been received from Jim JET
fries, who is now in San Francisco, demanding
that the fight promoters forward a certified
check for 81 600 to Harry Corbett in San Fran
cisco, the boilermaker's fee for refereeing the
bout ~,
The promoters, Jeffries said, agreed to do
this, and unless they make good at once he
will not leave San Francisco. .,....
Jeffries also wired that he would not give
the championship to the winner. but that all
the heavyweghts would have to battle for his

Hart's new punch-the wallop, which he says
will surely put Root out OF business-is apt to
