YANKEE CREW MAY GO TO
RACE BRITISH ROWERS

1t looks now as if there would be
another race next summer between
English and American college crews
The management at Harvard is doing
all it can to bring about a race between
the winner of the Cambridge OXFORD
race in England and the Harvard ale
race on the Thames. There is one diff
Guilty, however, and that is in arrang
ing date for the race. The Harvard
crew management will first have to fix
a date with Yale, so tlrat whichever
wins the dual meet will be able to &c
over to England in the early autumn
and then a date has to be made with
the English crew.
Should it prove that either Yale, Ok
ford or Cambridge should stand out
for n date that neither of the Others
wanted under any conditions, it Is
doubtful If the race can be arranged
The brightest part Of it is. however
that the Harvard management is very
deSirous of a race and will push ii
through if possible. Another rub may
come when the managers try TO raist
funds for the trip, but from the facs
that the alumni We're SO willing to give
two years ago, it, seems likely that
there will be little trouble again.
Coach Wray has studied the Englisl
system of rowing considerably, having
been over in Europe the past summer
for that purpose. He is "a firm believer
in the English stroke. and with tht
English shell that has been sent the
crew by Mr. Baylies, the Harvard crew
if it is the one to go over, would be
able to meet the Englishmen on much
better terms than any American crew
has before.
One of the greatest motives that is
prompting the action is the desire tc
defeat crew in English waters, 6
thing that college of this country
has never done before This sort 0.
feeling will soon create friendly RI
valry between the English and United
States colleges which ought to result il
many fine races.

BoWERMAn LIKES
LOOKS OF BOSTON TEAM.

Romeo, Mich, Dec. a1.-"Boston fans
that Represents the Hub in the Nation

we'll worth following. This is my first
chance in the major leagues to show
what I can do. and If work and honest
endeavor can count for anything, as
we'll as a free rein, which I am sure
President Dovey will give me. the Bos-
ton National League team for 1909 will
be one chat the fans Of Boston will be
justified In following
This Is Manager Frank Bowerman's
cheery winter message to the Hub
fans who are waiting with interest to
see Just what plans the veteran catch
er has on foot to strengthen the meek
and lowly Doves for next season. If
Bowerman can succeed in carrying out
his intentions the Boston National
League team will look about so per
cent stronger next season.
Il have not much fault to find with
the outfield," says Bcwerman. land
with Ginger Beaumont in shape
think that the garden trio, with Bates,
Beck and Becker to pick from, will
compare IdNOIdDIv Will dHy OuIiCiu
in the entire league. 1t is the infield
that Is giving me the most worry.
1.-TWO spots in the infield have got
to be strengthened. Sooner or later the
short field position must be bolstered
up. and for this reason l am especially
anxious to see the Dahlen deal GO
through But first base will be covered
next season better than it was last.
and it is the first sack that Is giving
me more cause for worry than any
other position on the team.
IF Dan McGann could keep UP the
gait he started off at last spring. we
would not have to bother much. but I
am afraid that Dan may find the going
q bit too fast. Stem, the other aspirant
for the job, needs a little more expert
ence to my mind, and vet a good train
Ing in the South and a few opening
games before good-sized crowds may
enable him to get over the stage fright
that SO many youngsters experience.
"There is chance that l may have
to try a hand at first base play N.Y.

Simmons, Graham and Smith the
oatcher's department ought to be well
taken care of. and as l have played
first base for long spells with the
Giants ! figure that l should be able
to iurnr IN ut the first sack.
LAS far as second base and third
is1sa are concerned I am not worrying,
for I look to Sweeney to come even
faster next season. while Ritchey can
hol5 down the second bag we'll enough
for anybody.
"Our pitching staff ought to he a
lot better next season, too. Ferguson,
MCCARTHY, Tuckey and Lindaman
ought to be in fine fettle, while Fla
t,erty should give a good account of
hirrs}f. Pfeffers arm is all right again.
Boultes and Dorner ought to have re-
9a.ned their former strength before this
time and these. together with bunch
of promising youngsters. should give
ua pretty good pitching layout.

Is a fact that the sale OF tickets began
at the park Offices at ! P. NJ, and con-
tinued until the line Of buyers had
melted away. The story that Mr.. Cook
took a large package of tickets to the
scalpers has been refuted by the police
officers who escorted Mr.. Cook during
the time he had the tickets in his pos
session. The fact that the tickets were
not on sale down town at the advertis-
ed time was due to delay in the pre-
paration of the tickets, which had not
been delivered in time by the printer.
MY own illness was doubtless respon-
sibe for much of the trouble and con-
