Poughkeepsie. n. Y, June A.-If the
plans Of Mayor John K. Sague, Of this
city, hold good there will be no public
pool selling on the day before the inter-
collegiate regatta here. nor on regatta
day which is Wednesday:
Mayor Sague has been active IN all sorts
Of reform movements since he was elect
e-l, and has put on the I'd good and tight.
The question Of the selling of pools was
called TO his attention to-day for the
first time by persons who visited him To
know how any attempt on their part 10
sell pools would be received Three per
sons asked him what he would do. Mayor
Sague simply informed them that he
would not give a permit to violate the
law, and that be would insist that the
Law should be enforced strictly.
II is understood among the college men
who know those who run the pool selling
that there will be pool selling on the
quiet this year. notwithstanding the may
0r's attitude.
More important than the matter Of bet
ting however, was the presence in Pough-
!
teenth United States Infantry. until re-
Gently football representative at the
United States Military Academy Capt
Pierce spent the afternoon at the Cornell
quarters in company with Judge Frank
b. Irving, the Cornell member Of the
board Of stewards. and afterward went
out on the Cornell launch. Capt. Pierce
has been ordered 10 the Philippines in
August, and will start soon for his new
detail
Naturally. every one supposes that you
are looking over the field for a West
Point crew" said some one 70 him.
The captain smiled and said. 1T Is
largely a question Of the time with us.
was surprised TO learn that only an
hour q day need be devoted 20 rowing"
Work of the Crews.
The Columbia crews had an of day OF
it to-day IN effect They had a very easy
time, both morning and evening. They
did not get out for the second installment
Of the days work until nearly 7:3l o'clock.
"The hard work is all over now" said
Coach Rice this afternoon. He had an
other visitor i'm Z. J. Kerus. from WCr-
cester. who knows all the rowing coaches.
Wlsc0nsin's varsity crew did rather q
surprising thing this morning IN taking
time row over the course. The Wis
cousin freshmen beat the varsity a half
length in the 1rst two miles. The 1915
men from Madison are considered 70 bs
"a very likely crew for the freshman race
while the varsity is not so much consid-
cred
The Ithacans are getting more impress
sive with every row they take and the
chances are that they VIII be pr0hib.tivC
fay0ri-es in the coming varsity race The
Comedians have improved so much over
the crew which was rowing here pre-
viUusIy tn June L. that they cannot De
recognized as anything Ike the same
college combination Taking two men
out of the boat was regarded as a risky
experiment. but from the moment that
this rh-uge was accomplished the I'm
provement waa remarkable.
Navy Crew Changes.
The Navy crew. by the way. rowed in
somewhat different style this morning
Coach GIeud0n has been much annoyed
by what has been said Of the style of his
men. and this morning when they came
down 10y the Columbia b0athOuse they
were counted several times TO be dOi0s
% strokes % the minute This was a
noticeable change from the 36-plus stroke
" other days However as it was q
paddle j. may not be a significant change
The PENNSYLVANIA and Wisconsin men
came near being swamped In the after
noon. They had just left their boat
house when a big tug came down The
river full tilt. causing a big swell Sew
eral Of the boats came back heavy with
water.
The Syracuse crews did light work
through the day their hard training being
over too.
The Georgetown men did padding work
as Coach Russell has finished with them
Much 10 the disappointment Of some
substitutes. there viii be no gentlemen S
crew races tomorrow.
