DENY TOWNLEY SCANDAL.
State Department Officials De-
clare Story of Intrigue Is False.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. December 30
State Department officials dcpTecate In
the strongest manner the allegation that
the retirement Of Sir Henry Mortimer
Duran1 from the post OF British ambas-
sador mere was due to drawing room;
rivalry between Lady Durand and Lady
Susan Towuley. wife OF former cOun-
cilor OF the British embassy IN this city
and intrigles growing out Of that rivalry.

that the latter is Influenced in Its official
action No petty society quarrels I'M
worthy OF serious attention.

Sir Henry may be found I'm recent shifts

BOSTON. MASS, December 25.-It looks
as IL Harvard's baseball authorities might
be compelled to adopt the professional
coach system IN vogue at Yale. Colum-
bia. Cornell and other colleges While
professionals have been engaged in ths
past for q few weeks in the early spring
10 coach IN pitching and batting. they
have acted under a head graduate coach.
Harvard prefers the graduate coach
system. but the trouble this spring is TO
find the available man. 1t is almost as
difficult 10 find the right professional who
can give his time to the team for four
or five months. Few ball-players, even
among the noted ones, have the ability
to teach the crude material that comes
out 20 try for a varsity nine.
Billy Keller is a competent teacher OF
batting, but his engagements at Cam
bridge in the past have been altogether
too short.
