Rowing men in all parts OF the .
country are just now giving much at
tention to the makeup of the Amer
lean crew that will represent this
country at the olympic Regatta in .
England next July. President James .
Pilkington, of the National Associa- /
ton of Amateur Oarsmen, and Julian /
Curtiss, the Yale man, who Is also n ,
member of the Olympic Athletic 3
Committee. comprise the committee I
selected to map out the program and |
decide how the crew will be selected. |
Their announcement has been await |
ed with great interest by those who !
would like to make the pleasant mid |
summer trip to England. The time is |
short for picking the crew, when
the tests are considered that the
members of the rowing club will be
forced to undergo before they make
good before the committee. There Is
strong sentiment that the commit
tee will finally have to fall back on
one of the college crews as the typi.

Baseball never yet has produced a
| Croesus, but some moderate fortunes
| have been made In the national
American pastime. President Comis-
key of the Chicago White SoX is the
| wealthiest baseball magnate the
game has made. Comiskey's success
has been wonderful, when the OBJ
stacles he encountered in his walk to
wealth are considered, for II was nee
essary for him to practically make
new major league before he couli
make showing over the hundred
thousand mark. As player he earn
ed good money, and much of this
went into the game later on when he
became a magnate. The interest he
drew on the principal he invested in
the game, until now he stands in the
position of a maker of the baseball
that made him. Comiskey doesn't
own the whole West Side of Chicago,
but he owns plots of It large enough
to make numerous ball parks.
