Will enter at least one crew in the inter

eight. may be a third entry for the mid

with the freshman crews OF the other col

ties are fairly well satisfied with the show
ing made by the senior eight this year, and
it is understood unoftictally that the Navy
Department was also satisfied and will look
with favor on its competing again. The
rowing department of tho Navy Athletic
Association is more than satisfied with
Glendon coach He will be in charge
of the crews nett year. and will be at the

CASH MAY BE REQUIRED
BY BOOKMAKERS FOR BETS

NEW YORK. July 27-The case of An
thony Brown, who overbet himself in the
ring at Brighton Beach to the extent of
10000, the wagers being recorded in the
name of his employer Hugh Collins fol-
lowed only ten days behind similar case
in which Kid Dreyfuss lost nearly $780,
wagering in the name of DR.. Carlos F. Mac
Donald. for whom he acted at various local
tracks. has set the layers of odds wonder
ing just what kind Of a chance they will
have in case some irresponsible commits
sioner goes the limit without authorization
The Dreyfuss wagerS remain unpaid but
In his case no layer was stung for more
than $1,000. The same is true of Browns
bets. but these will be paid, as Collins ac-
knowledges responsibility and declares that
he will make the losses good If he breaks
himself In doing so.
The bookmakerS are DESTROYS of discoy-
erIng. however. some method by which they
can protect themselves and their patrons in
similar cases In the future. Many of the
big bettors. they say. would quit specula-
ton on the runners rather than have to
place their own wagerS in the ring and
there Is no question in such cases that an
Intermediary is necessary. What Is desired
therefore. is a method by which the com
Inissoners who bet for wealthy visitors
at the track are absolutely reliable but it is
evident that In the cases of Dreyfuss and
Brown chances were taken that turned
out wrong leaving detection inevitable
The only real solution of the problem"
said prominent layer is to do all bust
ness in cash, doing away entirely with
markers. Otherwise there is always the
risk that commissioners are betting on their
own hook. There Is no good reason why
cash should not be employed in all cases.
since the men who make marker wagerS
are supposed TO have ready money and to
be betting on the nod only as matter of
convenience. 1t is Il problem that the Met
ropolitan Turf Association could solve with
out much trouble. Personally. think any
bUokmaker would rather do business in
cash than run the risk of being caught
by Irresponsible commissioners. as in the

The Columbia men were so well pleased
with the work OF Jimmy Rice. whom they
made rowing coach as experiment that
they reappointed him the week following
and also raised his salary In a substantial
fashion. Columbia men expect big things
from Rice. and. Judging from the splendid
results he achieved with crew of new
men. he ought to come pretty near scoring
q victory in 1903. since he loses but one
member of the present crew. A matter
that IS causing Columbia rowing enthu-
siasts some worrlment Is the continued re-
fusal of the authorities to sanction foot ball.
Now foot ball is the sport which pays the
expenses of rowing and all other sports
at the different universities. Rowing costs
Columbia something like SEQ every year
and as there is no revenue whatever from
the crews 1t will cause the Columbia man
agement good deal OF hustllng to raise
this amount each year by subscriptions.
Columbia authorities think they are bring
Ing about reforms by their abolition of foot
ball. but there are many persons who con-
slider the subscription business among stu
dents and graduates a serious evil. For
instance, the Yale ia cuty has deCreed that
student managers must not solicit subscrip
tions from the undergraduates. The same
conditions prevail at Pennsylvania Both

FIFTY BELONG TO BLACK HAND.
In Shamokin Regions, Says Prominent Italian
Secret Service Plan 10 End 0rganiza.
tion.

"Not two thirds of the crimes at
tributed to the Black Hand are
really committed by this organiza-
ton said prominent Italian
resident of Shamckin Saturday.
He said, however, that without
doubt the society was organized in
the county. Asked how many
Italians belonged to it he said that
there were at least fifty in that
region. 1t is the belief that this
organization is in direct communi-
cation with the New York and
Philadelphia branches of the society
and that its members who commit
crimes are spirited away to COM
rades in these cities and are safe
from retributive justice as though
the earth had swallowed them up.
Secret service men sent out
through the alliance of the district
attorneys of New York, Philadel-
phia and Luzerne county are ex-
pected to end the reign of terror
that the Black Hand has exercised
for some time in the eastern States.
A net work of special police is TO
be spread for the violators of the
law, which will effectually rid
Northumberland county of them.
The plau includes all the counties
in the State where the Black Hand
is known to exist. So far the au-
thorities of Northumberland county
have not been asked for coopera-
tion in the scheme but it is expect
ed that the plan will be made gen.
eral.
The Italian above mentioned who
is thoroughly familiar with the
system pursued by the Black Hand
said that very few of the letters
to be sent by the Black
Hand are the genuine articles. The
real Black Hand missive is only
spot of paper, blackened on one
side and with a skull and cross
bones on the other. Sometimes the
states what sum of money
is demanded and how long time
is given for the accomplishment of
the demands.
"The Black Hand" continued
the speaker, "is gang of organ
zed highwaymen and cutthroats.
They want to make money with
out working. All good thinking
Italians will be glad to see it exter-
from this country"
