In one of the most sensational games
ever seen on a city league diamond
neither Bessemer nor the Y. M. c. A.
could score In nine innings Of play. Tuck
er and Hill were the opposing slab ar
lists and both pitched great ball. They
were backed up by magnificent support
and time and again the fans were brought
to their feet by sensational fielding. The
game was played on the Owenton diamond
instead of the West End park, and in
spite of the fact that the new ball park
was only a few blocks away q goodly
number of spectators watched the anna
teurs battle 1t out. This is the first time
that the two teams have met and the
question of supremacy is stfll undecided.
This is the third game that will have to
be played Off between Bessemar and the
Y. M. G. A. It will be remembered that
the mix-up of last season was result
of a postponed game with the Y. M. c.
A. 1t is hoped that no such conditions
will exist again.

the water a bit sooner than the aver

When the first call for candidates
was issued at the University of Penn

the number of his recruits. His squad
was almost unwieldy and reached an
unprecedented size for Pennsylvania
The men began work on the water
this week and several preliminary re-
gattas have been scheduled for their
practice
Coach Rice of Colum bia is in a pc
GU lar situation with the light blue

he has the material for good eight

in a precarious position several times
during the past few years. and this
season the directors of the rowing
club seriously contemplated the aboii-
ton of the sport. AS it is now, if one
of Coach Rice's good men is incapaci-
tated he has no suitable substitute.
AT Syracuse, Coach Ten Eyck had a
hard time securing enough men to
make serious competition for the

PASCO, Wash, Mar 25.-(Special)
Much interest is being manifested
in baseball in Pasco at the present
time and some fast ball is anticipated
here for this season. Dates have been
made with the Vancouver team for two
games here on the 21st and 22nd of
April. The Vancouver team expects
to close its series of practice games
here at that time and some good ball
is looked forward to. Special rates
have been arranged for and many visi-
tors are expected on that occasion. A
baseball association has been incor-

From Puget Sound to the Charles riv-

and the shells put into commission.
The prospects for successful sea-
sons are reported to be bright at most
of the institutions and the sport is
gaining in popularity. Institutions
which are not represented on the wa

formation of navies. Minnesota, Mis-
souri, and Chicago university students
are agitating a movement to establish
crews. Stanford university is con-
tinuing rowing by means of clubs and

rowing was varsity sport at the uni

place during the early spring practice,
has been changed to the second crew
on account of back work and Cutter
has been shifted to stroke. According
