FIRST RACE GOES TO Us
Very Light Breeze Shows the Seneca
at Her Best in the Canada
Cup Contest.

Rochester, \. Y, Aug. 12.-Roches.
ter Yacht clubs defender Seneca de-
feated the Royal Canadian Yacht
clubs challenger Adele in the first of
the series of races for the Canada's
cup. The Adele was no match for the
Seneca in the light breeze, which at no
time was stronger than nine miles. fire.
quently dying down to three miles In
the last hour of the contest the wind
diminished TO mere zephyrs, so that
the last half home leg was really a
drifting match. When the Seneca
managed to creep over the line the
Adele was about one mile In the rear,
and did not finish.
This race for the Canada's cup was
made possible by the courtesy of the
Canadian yachtsmen in overlooking the
violation of the agreement by the
Rochester Yacht club in not filing
plans Of the defender, and in waving
their forfeiture demand. The defend
er was permitted TO be weighed and
succeeded in qualifying.

to meet competition.
LETS NOTHING GIT AWAY :
Standard Seems Up On All Points OF
Business Advantage

It is alleged in the report that seven
mills per gallon on Illuminating oil
affords a profit of about ten per cent.
on the investment in refining and
marketing the OIL But the actual
differences in the Standards prices
among competitive and non competi-
tive towns and areas" says Commits
sioner Smith, "often amount to several
cents per gallon. A combination which
can command the profits that these
figures imply, over large areas, has
therefore obviously a tremendous
weapon when it enters on aggressive
pricecutting against independent con-
Germ"
The report gives a striking" in
stance of this divergence in the prices
cf the same grade of oil in Califor-
MIA, where the Standard carries oil
from its refinery near San Francisco
several hundred miles by water and
rail. to Southern California, and there
sells for several cents a gallon less
than it charges for it in San Francis
co. Commissioner Smith declares that
the evidence lis absolutely conclus-
i've that the Standard takes full ad-
vantage of all non-compet1tive condi-
tons to impose the highest prices
possible and it uses similar means to
drive from the competitive field all
would-be rivals for business"
Some astonishing statements, too,
are made regarding the method pur-
sued by the Standard toward various
railroads of the country in supplying
lubricating oils. Some lines which
have shown a disposition and have
the power to compound their own hub
ricants obtain favorable rates from the
Standard. but from all others roads
the highest prices are exacted.

MESSENGER BOYS
POPULAR IN PARIS

PARIS, March 23.-An American girl,
Miss Daisy Anderson of New York,
has made boy messengers popular in
Paris. There is now an efficient SER
vice of youthful mercuries, who are
called by the Parisians "Jaggaires"
after the famous London messenger,
Jaggers, who took a trip to Chicago
for Richard Harding Davis "all in the
days work"
Miss Andrews, who is the Paris repre-
sentative for Miss Elizabeth Marbury's
agency, felt the need of boy messen-
gers in Paris, where the only messen-
gers were hitherto those attached to
the cafes, and only available there.
1t took about two years of lobbying
to get the French government to sane
ton the laying of wires for the call
boxes, but in this work Miss Andrews
secured the powerful help of the broth
ers Desouches, who are big coal mer-
chants and know lots of influential peo-
pie.
The boys forming the Paris messen-
ger corps are recruited from aspirants
for the telegraph service waiting their
turn for engagement. They are dressed
in an attractive uniform, which helps
to make them popular.

Another Winning
Crew
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK. March 23.-The inter-
collegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie in
this year. Five of the greatest profess
sional rowing coaches the world has
ever seen are whipping as many SQUADS
of brawny young athletes into shape.
Just as soon as the weather opens sur
ficiently and the ice gets out of the
various water courses they Will have
them out on the water for the final
sitting, which will decide which of them
shall have the honor of representing
the varsity in the blue ribbon college
aquatic event of the year, for regard
less of the opinion held in New and
Old England that the Harvard
race is the great event, in the minds
of the balance of the country the
Poughkeepsie regatta overshadows
them all.
1t is, of course, too early to form any
idea of the relative merits of the Vari-
Gus crews, but there is degree OF
confidence among the college water
men which encourages the bellet that
the races in June will De more open
than they have ever been.
. In speaking of college rowing Cornell
and Courtney naturally come first. The
veteran oarsman and coach mas turned
out more winning crews than any other
man alive, and he is certain that ne
will add to his score this year. He has
an unusually promising lot of material
from which to pick his crews, and no
man knows better what to do with 1t
than this stalwart veteran.
Next in order comes Ellis ward and
his Quakers. While not scoring as
many wins as Courtney, Ward may al
ways be depended upon to turn out a
dangerous crew. From the news which
comes from Philadelphia, the men who
will represent Pennsy next year will
take lot of beating.
James A. Ten Eyck of the Utica
crew is the third man in the trio of
veteran coaches. He has not the num-
ber of men to draw from as his two
more successful rivals, but lie has done
wonders in the past, and it is safe
proposition that Syracuse will be a
factor that must be recognized.
We have yet to see what the two
new professional coaches, James G,
Rice of Columbia. and Ed Ten Eyck of
Wisconsin, can do. They are to make
their first appearance in the intercol-
legiate regatta.
Rice. however. has been wonderfully
successful as trainer and coach of anna
teur crews, and Ten Fyck not only
comes of a remarkable family of oars
men, but was one of the very best
men with the SOULS that ever sat IL
a racing boat.
That Rice has impaired a feeling of
confidence to Columbia that has not
heen felt at the Morningside institution
for many years cannot be gainsaid.
Whether this confidence will blossom
in results remains to be seen. Stranger
things have happened.
To sum up, there is every reason to
believe that there will be racing at
Poughkeepsie in June of the hair-rais-
ing variety.

VIII Appear with Northern Nine
Against the seraphs This
Afternoon

In one of the fastest college baseball
games witnessed on a local diamond
for many a day the st. Marys Phoenix
nine of Oakland downed the st. Vim
cent team by a score of 80 at Chutes
park yesterday afternoon.
The inability of Vincentian twirlers
to find Krause effectively and three
errors at critical times gave st. Marys
the game. st. Vincents surprised her
most optimistic supporters by the
showing displayed yesterday, and 1t
was not until the seventh inning that
the crack northern team was able to
send q runner over the plate.
Krause, who comes south with an
enviable record as a college twirler,
demonstrated yesterday that he is a
very clever young man with the horse
hide, and his crossfire was more than
the locals were able to solve, no less
than twelve striking out.
Bill Lane, although laced for eleven
hits, kept the bingles scattered and
had it not been for q triplet of errors
by Lamar at short the game would
have gone on for at least nine innings
with no score.
The Vincentian twirler had no cause
for complaint, so far as his general
and again the northerners were retired
with men on bases, and in all St.
Marys allowed twelve runners to ex-
pire on the paths.
To the seventh inning scarce field
ing skip resulted Lane and Krause re-
ceiving such support that both sides
were retired in one, two, three order.
1t appeared as though st. Marys
would score in the second inning.
Burns sent a high one to right field

Lamar, who caught Burns before he
could return to third.
st. Mary's first score came in the
seventh. Duggan singled to right field
and the ball went through Phillips
legs, Duggan racing to third. Krause
slammed one at Lamar who fumbled
Duggan scoring.
Two more runs were tailed by the
Phoenix in the ninth as a result of a
single and two errors by Lamar

ARMY ABAND0NS
PUFFED OUT CHEST
snocio1 Cob1e to The Herald.

LONDON, March 23.-Thursday's pa
pers reported an inquest upon an old
soldier who died of heart failure, which
the doctor who made the post-mortem
said was due to the "pernicious practice
in the British army of putting out the
chest"
Such evidence had never been given
at an inquest before, yet strangely
enough yesterdays papers reported how
this Doctors views had already been
adopted by the army council. The
fact is that puffed out chests have been
abolished from the British army after
an official existence of at least hum
dred years. Chests out, stomachs in,
has been a familiar order on the drill
grounds since the days of Waterloo and
probably long before.
Now it is gone for ever. The old
system of army gymnastics has been
abolished. The Swedish system is to
be instituted instead. The army coun-
Gil made inquiries into the relative val
ues of the British and Swedish systems
of drill and found that experts and
medical officers Immediately pronounced
the British dumbbell system to be anti
quated, unscientific stupid and per-
version of the ways of nature. and that
the Swedish system was everything that
could be desired from a physical culture
point of view.
Discussing the army gymnastic work,
an officer intimately acquainted with
the old system said to me: "The puffed
out chest is a delusion which has sue
cumbed to scientific knowledge of the
human body. 1t came into existence
purely for show purposes, or from false
analogy
at was probably seen that men of
deep chests were strong men and old
drill sergeants probably imagined that
hyy fha throw O11t tbair
chests they would make them strong as
we'll as look strong, which was a COM
plete mistake.
"Instead of strengthening a man,
putting out the chest tends to weaken
him, as it throws the strain upon the
heart We now tell the men, be sure
not to puff the chests out. If you puff
the chest out and do dumbbell exercises
you have to hold your breath. That
strains the heart. Any exercise which
prevents breathing freely is bad.
"Knotted muscles also are altogether
wrong. You see a man with immense
chest muscles. Perhaps he thinks he is
really an ideally trained man, but such
muscles simply bind the chest and tic
the. heart down. They do not expand
the lungs and give the heart plenty of
room which an athlete needs.
1.-THE Swedish system is the reverse of
such training work. Ut consists chiefly
of free gymnastics, which are designed
to bring every muscle of the body into
action and improve the whole physical
condition, but this system has been al
ready adopted by most continental ar
mics. We British have at last followed
suit. We shall In future have no more
pigeon chests, but shall have men who
are more athletic and quicker in body
and mind"
