SYRACUSE OUT Of
ROWING FOR YEAR
Sport So Expensive That Up
State Students Will Not
Race at Poughkeepsie.

SYRACUSE, n. Y. October 31.-Syra-
cuse University has abolished rowing. The
announcement was made last night in the
following statement:
1.-THE athletic governing board of SYRIA
cuse University at its last meeting voted
to eliminate intercollegiate rowing from
the list of sports for the present college
wear Syracuse will not send crews to
Poughkeepsie or engage in any regattas
with colleges. The services OF James A.
Ten Eyck as coach will be retained, but
no other money will be spent except fol
the necessary maintenance of the rowing
plant.
This action has been taken by the
board after q discussion lasting nearly
a year, and has been necessitatod by
financial conditions. Efforts have been
made to reduce the amount of the debt
but the receipts from college sports have
not been sufficient.
For the past six years a budget has
been prepared by the governing board
each year apportioning to Zach sport Its
proper share of the athletic revenues, and
in no year has the amount allotted been
exec, ded and no addition to the old debt
has been incurred in that period. Tbs
indorsers OF the note have made the reaS-
enable request that they be relieved OF
their obligations, and the board decided
last winter to take the necessary action
this year. to wipe out the old debt"
Syracuse has long b. en- big factor In
the intercollegiate races on the Hudson
The up-staters under Ten Eyck's coaching
have been factors to reckon with in every
race and the news of the withdrawal OF
the Orange from rowing will be a hard
blow to many followers OF aQuatics.

h .ONG SCHEDULE BLAMED FOR
DOWNFALL OF CHICAGO CUBS
But for Protracted Season in National
League Athletics Gould Not Have
Played Against All-Stars.

Athletics, for then they beat Ed Walsh.
and it was then they first showed signs
of the form they displayed in the clash
with the Cubs in the worlds series.
There has been much criticism made by
the maenates Of the National League re-
garding the schedule the league adopted
last winter, and 1t is likely that there
will be many more comments made at
the annual meeting of the league in New
York In December. Barney Dreyfuss OF
the Pit'sburg club and Garry Hermann
OF the Cincinnati club were so much OPP
posed to the schedule dragging through
an extra week they secured permission
from the league to move up their games
slated for the last week and ended their
season at the same time as the American
League.
Whether or not the unnecessary length
ening Of the National League schedule
was the real reason for the defeat of
the Cubs. IL will be used as an argument
by the advocates Of the short season at
the next meeting Of the league Another
lively scrap between the magnates may
be the outcome. for the embers of the
row Of last winter are smoldering and
the magnates have been whetting their
knives for several weeks In preparation
for another battle.

DAVIS FOR BROWNS
Athletics Captain May Get
Jack 0'Connor's Job.
IS POPULAR IN ST. LOUIS
Hedges Seems in Quandary How to
Fill Managerial Berth-Has
Many Applicants.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ST. LOUIS, October 31--Harry Davis,
captain of the Athletics, is the latest
name to be mentioned in connection with
the management of the St. Louis Browns.
But, like all the others to whom r,mor
has given a chance to take Jack O'Con-
nor's place. nothing definite seems to
have been done In the matter.
This, like all other coy corner CONVEX
sation. comes from the most reliable
authority, from lone Of the ground men
at the park" the soda water man, lone
of the gatekeepers' or some such authori-
tative person, one OF the men who wait
upon Mr.. Hedges when he Is at table or
some other such person who has Inside
information means Of getting to know
things which perhaps Mr.. Hedges him
self does not know.
Asked about it, Mr.. Hedges gave his
head one last shake. He has almost
shaken it off it's hinges in denials re-
Gently.
Hedges Respects Davis.

my attention. I would like very much to

base ball lore and learned some of his
good manners. pOliteness and suavity
| But / have not thought about any one
yet. You see, I dare not think about
Davis so long as he is with the Athletics
That is forbidden"
Harry Davis would command respect
and attention. He is about thirty-eight
wears old and has but few seasons OF
first-class play in him. He has been a
great man for Connie Mack. but his
playing life is drawing to close. Mack
is considerate man. II Davis could gel
a good place to manage team Mack
would, no doubt, be glad to let SO faith

likely to get for 1911 and a man whose

|, tleman. If Connie Mack said to Mr.
HEDGES, Davis will. in my opinion, make
fine manager" Mr.. Hedges and the
people of St. Louis would have to lis.
ten respectfully. What Mack might say
commands respect.
Davis could possibly be employed ia
manage and play first base for. say. 6.0O(
a year. Men like Jimmie Callahan or
Fielder Jones, who have means of liveli-
hood outside Of base ball. would proba-
bly, want much more money. Then Mr.
Hedges would be obliged to find himself
a capable first baseman also.
That would cost any amount you'd like
to guess, $500 to find and get him arid
So 500 to feed and train and pay him, the
brute! Thus Davis would mean clear
profit of some $4,000 or 1000 to Mr.
Hedges. OF course, he is not very
nd "a rAf t.A
for a very long time. but Mr.. HEDGES
must take care of 1911 first and then
when that is off his hands proceed to
look out for 1912.

have more effect on the game than one
would first suppose. The chances are
that 1t would gr atty increase the batting,
for the reason that the pitchers would nol
dare to take as many chances as they do
now to fool the batters. It would be neces-
sary for the pitcher not TO waste any
balls to speak of, which incidentally might
increase the base running. The change of
the rules might have this effect for q
While, but it has never taken the pitch
ers long to master any changes In the
rules calculated to place.a greater han
dicap on them. It was believed that
when the pitcher was moved back and
forced to pitch sixty feet the prob
lem Of increasing the hitting had been
solved. For a time it seemed, indeed. ar
II the hitting would he heavier than
formerly, but gradually the pitchers mas
tered the distance and again became the
autocrats Of the diamond.

While there is naturally a great differ
ence Of opinion as to which of the eight
shortstops of the American League is
entitled to the crown. most cities having
their own favorite, yet there is no doubt
that there was hardly shortfielder in
the country who played better ball last
season than Jack Knight of the Yankees.
Not only did Knight field brilliantly, hut
he was one of the best hitte in the
league. and a smart ball player at all
stages. There are few instances in base
Os~AA "hCLC a payer udS improved as
much as has knight. When Connie Mack
had him he did not seem able to ever
make hitter out Of himself, but after a
return to the minor league, wher he got
confidence and an improved stride,
Knight has developed into good hitter.
and when this Is taken into consideration
Is perhaps entitled to be called the best
shortstop in the American League.
On the form the Athletics showed last
season and In the worlds series, Il rs
going to be no easy mater to beat them
Tor the pennant for the next few years.
There certainly does not appear to be q
team In the circuit just now which stands
chance with Mack's champions and
unless there is great deterioration IN
the work Of several of Mack's stars. par
ticularly the pitchers. it should be easy
sailing for the Athletics again next sea

Once manager gets a team together
such as the Athletics have proven them
selves, 1t is comparatively easy matter

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Lefty" Russell, who was purchased by
Philadelphia from Baltimore for the re-
ported price Of $4,000. made a costly
mistake when he kicked over the traces
because the salary offered him did not
suit. AS result of his stand against the
amount Connie Mack thought he was
worth, the young pitcher did not share in
the division of the worlds series receipts.
which amounted to over $1,000 per man.
Russelrs end Of the money would have
amounted to considerably more than the
difference in what he wanted in salary
and what Mack offered. But the young
pitcher was too shortsighted to see what
his action in leaving the team would re-
suit in, and he must be both sadder and
wiser now than he was month ago.
Russell pitched one game for the Ath-
letics. winning 1t easily from Boston. 1t
Is understood that after the game he
made salary demands which Mack would
not listen to. He then left the team, and
as a result did not share in the world S
series money.
All the other members of the team,
shared alike in the prize money. Even

The PRONUNCIATION by President Lynch
OF the National League OF the names OF
the four players released to Philadelphia
by Cincinnati has absolutely no bearing
on the controversy between these two
clubs anent the deal made by their re-
spective managers.
when a club disposes Of any player it
sends the name Of such player to the
president Of the league who promulgates
same. There may be any sort Of ir-
regularity in the matter. but there Is no
way for the president Of the league to
know 1t and his duty ends when he is
sues a bulletin announcing the release
Of the players in question.
The fact that one end of the deal was
promulgated by Lynch can have no eff
feet on the matter at all. though it has
been made to appear the head of the
National League had taken sides in the
matter.
