SYRACUSE CREW
LOOKED UPON AS
STRONG FACTOR
New York Tigers Coming Up
Strong and Have a Good
Chance of Winning.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June TO-
Syracuse Is now booming up strong as
a factor in the intercollegiate regatta.
Their varsity took two long rows yes
terday and surprised the other coaches
They row the short, snappy stroke
which brought the 1904 Syracuse crew
home a winner, and many think this
years crew will duplicate that per.

tionally strong. In fact, al present it
seems to be the best On the river.

day. The have been sent East by

ing in the East. They will remain here
till after the big race. They were the
guests of Coach Ward on the Ben
Franklin yesterday afternoon. The
University of Washington crew de-
feated all her rivals on the Pacific
coast this year and then sent on their
entry for the Poughkeepsie regatta,
but 1t came too late and was rejected.
The Westerners are full of enthusiasm
for the sport, and say they will surely
come East next year IL the i~ntercolle-
giate stewards will accept their entry.
Coach Rice put a Columbia four on
the water yesterday for the first time.

stroke. This is the heaviest four on
the river, and If they can get going
right they will prove very dangerous.
Yesterday afternoon they rowed up
two miles from their h%ouseboat and
had to put in and empty out their shell.
The Wisconsin varsity o. not seem
to be improving as rapidly as was eX-
pected. They were beaten by their
freshmen by half a length in the after
noon in a two-mile race.
Cornell, on the other hand, Is coming
along with wonderful strides. Three
days ago the freshmen beat Tire var
sity by half a length in a two-mile
race. Yesterday the varsity beat the
freshmen four lengths. Courtney still
pretends to be hopelessly out Of the
running, but the other coaches do not
credit his calamity tales. They have
had experience with Cornell crews be-
fore. and know hat frequently they
have come out ahead after just such
preliminary disasters.
Coach Ward shook up his freshmen
this afternoon, putting Keplinger in at
2 in place of HUM, and Wilcox at 4,
in place of Howard.

KLINE HAS TWO
BATTLES ON HIS HANDS

Patsy will be In the best possible
condition, for since he has opened his
boxing school on lower Market stree:
the boy has been keeping in the best
of condition. I dropped in to see Kline
in his nicely appointed physical palace
today and found him hard at work. He
was assisted by a corps of trainers. his
brother being in full charge. well,
Patsy. this Dorbitt boy must think you
are his meat this time
Yes, stree, I guess he does think he
has it on me. But l am not afraid of
him. 1 know how to beat him and ]
am going to do it, for I want another
fight down there"
You have another fight there, have
MT you?" he was asked.
Sure; one week from next Monday
night I meet Young Britt, and I think
I nave this fellow whipped now. But
you can't tell every time. Anything is
liable to happen in this business. But
my friends here may as well know that
I am not taking any chances. l have
several pupils in boxing and these !
work with every day. Then I rough it
with my friends here and I am getting
stronger in every fight"
Patsy didn't say all this at once He
had to be questioned to bring out al
this talk. l asked himi what he had en-
for later in the fighting line and then
he unbelted again. MY manager, Mr.,
Carroll, has received an offer from
Brazil, Indiana. offering to match me
against a bantam named Walsh there.
We have excepted this offer and If the
club sends us a couple of tickets both
ways and holds to its agreement to
give us a guarantee or a certain
amount of the gate we will be there"
1t does look as if they cannot keep
this city off of the sporting map.

Horses and Mules On CIosRer Plantation

1t certainly was the queerest
thing I have seen for many long

with John Closner of Hidalgo. Dur
ing the trip Mr.. Barnes stopped at

saw the horses and mules eating
molasses.
Mr.. Closner has tank in the
center of the corral. In this he
keep continually large quantity
of black-strap molasses, the re-
mains after grinding the cane.
DO you know" said Mr.,
Barnes, that as soon as they I'm
harnessed mule and turned him
into that corral he struck up a
lively gait. ran over to the
and got two or three ticks of the
sweet. Then the animal rushed to
the water trough and afterwards
went to his regular meal. He got
his dessert first, you see."
Ali of the horses and mules on
the Closner place are strong" for
the molasses. The hogs are too.
It seem to agree with them.
But it was the queerest thing
ever saw" said Mr.. Barnes.
