as heSult OF Explosion.
Detroit, Mich, June 2.-The steamer
Erin, up-bound and towing the schoon-
er Danforth, was run into and cut in
two by the steamer Cowle, in the St.
Clair river. just below ST. Clair. carly
yesterday and five members of the
Erin's crew were drowned.
The collision occurred during fog.
The Cowle is modern steel freighter,
and is not thought to have been much
damaged, while the Erin was wooden
vessel OF the old type.
Seen Men Saved.
Six OF the Erin's crew and the thir-
teen-year-old son Of Mrs. Reed, who
was on the steamer, were saved.
Officers of the schooner Danforth
charge that the Cowle did not stop and
assist in the rescue OF the Erin's crew.
The Erin sank so rapidly after the COL
lision that those members OF the crew
who were asleep had little chance for
their lives.
Officers Were Confused.
Capt. Sullivan Of the Erin was in the
pilot house when the collision occur
red. and the impact Of the steel freight
er as she hit the boat, threw him into
the river. He f1oated down to Marine
City on some wreckage before being
rescued. Capt. Sullivan says that the
officers Of the Cowle evidently were
confused as to the number Of boats ap-
preaching and that this caused the
collision. The body OF Mrs. Reed came
to the surface soon after the accident
and has been picked up.

CASSIDY'S STANDING START
City Park Patrons Surprised that
He Adheres to Jockey Club Rule.
His WaIk-up System at New Orleans
Was n Great Success, but He
Seems to Have Given X I'd.

New York, Dec. 11.-Mars Cassidy IS
using. the standing start at City Park,
New Orleans. This announcement came
to-day as a complete surprise 10 many
turfmen who are wintering here. for Cas-
sidy. on the winter tracks in previous
years. employed the much-discussed walk
up system. which he tried to induce the
Jockey Club to adopt on the race courses
H. New York State. Cassidy tried 10 in
augurate the walk-up system during the
season recently concluded in the East
but the stewards. having fully tested the
waIk-up system when Cassidy first intro
duced it here. concluded without much
hesitation that il would not do, and
unanimously voted that the standing
start which had been the secret Of c. J
Fitzgeraids satisfactory work with the
barrier. should be made a permanent fac
tor in the conduct of racing.
It Is said. on good authority that be
fore spring rolls around the Jockey Club
stewards will decide to have two starters
and that Starter A b. Dade stands a
good chance To divide the job with Cas-
sidy. Dade Is devoted to the barrier sys-
TEN. He haRdled the barrier in the
Jockey Clubs second circuit last year
with excellent results.
The engagement of two starters will
afford a relief for both men, and at the
same time make it impossible for the
public TO contend with "a run Of inferior
work at the post due 10 overwork and
staleueSs.
Just at present it looks as if the new
turf partnership of Fred. Burlew and
former Jockey Frank O'Nein would prove
a decidedly profitable venture at the New
Orleans track this winter. During The
first meeting Of two weeks. ut the Fair
Grounds. Burlew and O'Neill headed the
list of winning owners with about 5000
to their credit. They have started IN
with similar success at City Park, and
the end is not yet
With a fair measure Of success they
should be enabled to come North in the
spring with q fat bankroll. incidentally,
they are rapidly developing Jimmy Hen
nessey. who rode here with fair success
last season. with the prospect Of making
him one of the best lightweight riders in
the country.

AFTER EMBRYO STARS.
Harvard viii Seek Promising Ath-
IeteS in Preparatory schools.


Chagrined by successive defeats, Har-
wards athletic authdeisies are planning TO
adopt Yale's method of seeking cut star
athletes from preparatory schools and
academies, instead OF ignoring them, as
has formerly been the Harvard custom.
Although the Ellis and several other col
leges found it profitable to induce the best
football or baseball players of leading
schools to join those colleges with enticing
offers, Harvard men called such tactics
beneath them and not exactly fair. The
idea always was that excellent material
ought to be available from among nearly
6000 men without exerting any efforts to
secure II.
The first inclination of a change Of ten
dency and sentiment was found in the talk
of a Harvard publicity bureau, to be es-
tablished with a view TO enlarging Har-
ward from the cream students of schools
all over the country. 1t is now understood
that the duties of such a bureau could
easily be made TO include looking up desir-
able athletes.
It has often been said that more athletes
do not enter Harvard because of the rigid
entrance examinations. Through what are
called conditions, examinations that can
be passed after entering college, the Har-
ward sporting coaches hope TO urge the
men with muscle and brain to join their
freshman class and their athletic squads,

This is the time OF the year when base

star players, whose services they know
are not on the market BY adopting this
policy the magnates believe they can
throw dust in the eyes of the loyal
supporters Of their teams. who are vainIy
clamoring for winners.
A club owner would be safe in offering
Barney Dreyfuss S25,o9o for Hans Wag-

of a prompt rundown he could go home

best to strengthen the team by offering
S25.oc0 for Wagner, but Dreyfuss would
