NAVY OARSMEN IN
GREAT TRIAL SPIN

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 18-Coach
Ward gave the Pennsylvania oarsmen an
easy time Of 1t yesterday. as the work OF
last week has told upon them considerably,
and the "old man. does not wish TO run

Is to get them in the best condition posi-

the course yesterday morning, and the
showing was not altogether pleasing TO

When Coach Courtney made big shift
In his varsity eight yesterday his state
ment of last week that he was not at all
satisfied with his crew appears to have been
a correct one. yet in making the change he
broke up his varsity four. which has been
considered one Of the best fours Cornell
ever had. 1t looks as though he was des-
perate to build up varsity eight to de-
fend the prestige Cornell has obtained upon
the water.
Taking this late shift into consideration,
and the showing Of Annapolis Sunday and
again when the middies went over the
course on another time trial yesterday
morning, it would seem from the showing
they made and the opinions of many Of the
coaches here upon this subject that the
navy was a strong favorite for first in the
varsity race: In fact 1t has been conceded
to them because of the wonderful piece Of
rowing Of the navy yesterday. Starting off
with a stroke close to forty, the middies
dropped 1t to thirty-six. which they main
tanned until the last squirt. when they ran
1t UP to forty-four. Every one said they
could not stand the strain Of such an ac-
tolerated pace, yet they finished strong. and

outplayed by Trinity yesterday, thereby
losing first place to the winners by the
score of to 2.
Although thirteen hits were registered of
Hilleary he pitched better game than the
score indicates.
The large number of hits was largely due
to his fielders falling down on easy chances
at critical times, and G. Chism, who was
sent in at backstop instead of the regular
catcher. who failed to show up, was on in
both his judgment of the batsmen and his
throwing to the bases.
"Duckey" Mess was the star. The little
fellow pulled of several heady plays and
accepted six chances at third. Mess also
tailed all of the runs made by his team
and COPIED three hits in four trips to the
plate once losing the ball in the tall grass
in left field for trip around the circuit.
Heinrich of Trinity also played brilliant
batting game. getting three hits, two Of
which were doubles.

cellent game behind the bat, but had the
misfortune to bat In very bad luck. He hit
the ball squarely on the nose in the first
three times he went to the bat, but it went
directly at opposing fielder. Killian be-
ing left-hander, Warner batted from his
right side.
Bob Ganley's batting stood out like a

to head him Off. Coughlin and O'Leary be-
ing on the edge of the grass. Bob then
changed his grip and laced nice little line

years ago that made him the king of place

with Washington has created a great rum
