RESEMBLES OLD GOVERNMENT
Varsity Annals Show State Board Of
Education Once Existed.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City. April 16.-The board of
regents of the state university. an
organization which will cease to exist
officially after July 1, has been In ex-
istence for thirty-nine years. Dean A.
n. Currier. university historlographer.
in searching the annals of the uni
versity government, has learned that
the new board of education Is similar
in name and to some extent in char
acter, to the university's governing
body away back in 1857 to 1868. The
board of education of that time had
the government of all the educational
institutions, including the common
schools. There was no normal school
nor college of agriculture, and only a
nucleus of the present university, but
nevertheless the new board of educa-
ton is in some sense barking back
to the university's governing body OF
that time

CORNELL WINS ALL RACES, MAKING
 TWO RECORDS

Pouehkeepsie, N. Y., July S.-CornelI oarsmen made clean sweep yesterday afternoon at the annual regatta Of the Intercollegiate Rowing Association on the Hudson River here. The victories were emphatic and complete, and to make them more pronounced two rec ords were established in the Varsity four and freshman eight event. It was a yindication of the Courtney stroke and system of training, for the Corneil crews won easily. and the victories were secured by combination of science and physical development.
 The Ithacans captured the Varsity fours by five lengths in 1e:o1, which Is 14 2-5 seconds better than the best previous record made by Syracuse in 1905 The freshman eight-oared race also went to Cornell by one length, the time being 9:07 3-5. which reduces the former record of 9:18 made by Cornell in 1903 by 10 2-5 seconds.
 CornelIs time for the Varsity eight pared race which the 1thacans also won by as1ength. was 19:02, which was close to record time A strong wind and favorable tide were partially re- sponsible for the fast time.
 The races were rowed in the follow ing order:
 VARSITY RACE. FOUR MILES.
 Cornell, 1902; Columbia. 1904 2-5; Syracuse, 1915 1-5: Wisconsin, 1924 Is: Pennsylvania, 19:32 1-5.
 VARSITY FOUR. TWO MILES. Cornell, 10:01; Syracuse. 1O:10; Colum- ,bia. 1O:12; Pennsylvania, 10:27.
 FRESHMAN EIGHT. TWO MILES.
 Cornell, e:O7 3-5; Syracuse, 9:15 4-5; Pennsylvania, 9:21; Wisconsin, 9:22 4-5; Columbia, 9:26.

 The salary of the supervisor of SCOT CTS, because of the increased amount of work he has to do this season in figuring up the players averages, has been increased to $2.50 per week The prizes offered for batting and fielding honors calls for the extra work.
 The finances of the league before many more Saturdayss have been reached will read in the four figures Though some of the returns at the games have been poor, returns at other contests have sufficiently offset these drawbacks.
 No. 1 Cranes are in need of a good working battery, one that has seen some work, the equal of the Industrial League, before they can be reckoned as contenders for the pennant. Their present pitchers are young and willing, but cannot stand the gaff.
 Which of the teams will take the three games in as many days? It's hard work, but some of the leaders ought to do it. It will be extra hard working on the clubs with only one reliable twirler or catcher.

 Warner Brothers ought to be able to take victory from the Yosts Monday, as it is stated that the latter team will not present their regular batting order. Tn that event the game ought to be a hummer, otherwise the Yosts would have a walk away.
 Things have not been going the best ever over the American & British way. It is now Manager Tiernan, in place ed. Coles will, however. still continue to play in the infield, as he is too val- uaible a man to drop out.

}LIVE BASE { BALL TIPS,


 Hartford is here for double header this afternoon.
 Springfield plays league game with the Orators tomorrow at Speelechase
 Three hits were all the Orators could glean off Ray Fisher yesterday.
 Schmaltz, our new first baseman. though he showed up in Bridgeport terday's game.
 Eddie Nolte, must also be all in. when the Hartford sluggers. who bring the organization can gather ten hits.
 Bore Bourquin is due for session on the bench. He started the season in fine style stopping everything that came his way For the last few weeks he has hardly missed a game without a. slip-up. while yesterday he missed three. His batting though weak has been timely.
 '.Rube" Pollard has been sent back to the wilds of Glastonbury to recuper- ate, and to be recalled whenever need ed. This was his first season with league baseball doing fairly well. He had the habit of sticking the ball too squarely over the pan, which was meat for the league batsmen. That he could clout the sphere there is no doubt.
 Cincinnati went down to defeat in an eleven inning game with St. Louis yes- terday, but it was not Tommy Dow ney's fault that his team did not win out. Tommy got in his usual hit. be- ing at bat four times. It was on the pastures that he starred. Eleven in two double plays, one of them un- assisted.
 Owner Clarkin of Hartford says that any number of big league clubs have been trying to purchase Pitcher Fisher but, he will not part with him until the close of the season.
 New Britain cranks declare that they will not be satisfied unless the Han naites take both games from Hartford Monday.
 Hartford tried to shove Metzger ir to bat for Tom Scanlon in the Hart ford Holyoke game Thursday but the lump" waved him back because he was not garbed in the same kind of uniform as the other Senators wore Scanlon then went in and showed out a single.
 Holyoke is the only team in the league that has Pitcher Fishers goat. Every time the Hartford man has gone up agalnSt the PapermakerS this sea- son he has had to be relieved before the end of the game.
 Billy Hanna can see no reason why his team will not be leading the league at the end of the month. That he has made good guess is acknowledged by all fair minded fans. All the weak spots have been bolstered up, the team being as good at fielding as at hitting
 Hanna says that there are only two pitchers in the league who can trim his team. Fisher of Hartford, and Gibbs of Bridgeport. He made an offer to Manager Jim for the local pride, but was given the laugh. If the Ora tors let Freddie go. where would they be?
