wrestling Instructor at West Point for the
last six months and only recently decided
to return 20 the mat
1t Is considered a certainty that Miss May
Sutton Of California, who succeeded in
capturing the womens tennis champion
ship in England last year. will be seen on
several eastern courts before she departs
for the other side in July to defend her
title. Miss Sutton will go east in the latter
part OF May and will probably play in some
Of the tournaments taking place at Phila-
delphia about that time. Miss Sutton may
be accompanied by two, or possibly three,
Of her sisters, all of whom are said to be
expert handlers Of the racket They win
also take part In several contests while in
the east.
The announcement that the intercollegiate
regetta will be held this year on Saturday,
June q, is welcome news to many rowing
enthusiasts who cannot afford to take fun
day from business to witness the races. The
program for the regatta as at present ar
ranged provides for the following events
First race, p. m; University four-oared
shells, by Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania,
Syracuse and Wisconsin Qf It enters); dis
lance two miles, for the Kennedy challenge
trophy presented in 1899 by David Kennedy
Pennsylvania, to be held by the winner for
one year, now held by Syracuse.
Second race, 4:45 p. m: Freshman eight
cared shells, Columbia, Cornell, Pennsyl-
vania and Syracuse to compete; distance
two miles, for the Stewards cup, presented
I'm 1900 by Francis s. Bangs Columbia, to be
held by the winner for one year, now held
by Cornell.
Third race, p. M; University eight-oared
shells, Columbia, Cornell, GEORGETOWN,
Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Wisconsin to
compete; distance four miles, for Or the
war elf rnnl
DIR. Louis l.. Seaman, Cornell, to be held by
the winner for one year, now held by COR
nell.
There is a possibility that Wisconsin may
not compete in the four-oared race this
year, preferring to enter a freshman eight,
and Georgetown is also expected to send a
freshman crew this year. The idea Of hold
ing a fourth race Of the centipede type or
Of single SOULS, has been abandoned owing
| to the lack of enthusiasm over such a pro-
/ posal except on the part Of Syracuse. The
! four-oared race among crews made up Of
substitutes, however, proved so popular
last year that II will undoubtedly find a
! place on the program again this season.
The regatta win not differ materially from
| those held In former years, but college
crew races are always attractive, and this
spring there will be the same merry crowds
of excursionists lining the banks OF the
Hudson as have made the Catskills echo
with their cheering in past years.

| Wild Bill Donovan says: "a fooler, for
fair, is the outcurve used by all the
pitchers with good, bad and Indifferent
| effects. In my experience 1 find that the
outcurve is the hardest curve 20 control,
and success with II depends entirely on
the delivery. A good twist of the wrist
Is needed for this one. There are num-
Der of ways to deliver this curve to fool
the batsman. For some batsmen the ball
is shot directly to them. making it break
just across the plate. For others 1t is
aimed directly at the plate and goes wide
when It passes the batsman. The best
of hitters get fooled"
