NO GRADUATE COACHES
 FOR HARVARD OARSMEN
Crimson in Flush of Victory Re- fuses to Change System For
 Yale's Convenience

Boston, Mass, Aug. S-When asked what the action of Harvard would be. relative to Yale'sF return to the grad uate coach system in rowing, George Mumford, of the Harvard Rowing Committee said:
 s'We have a graduate committee rowing system at Harvard at present, and it is the duty of this committee to confer with the captain, who is su- preme in rowing at Harvard, and to advise him as to the system to be adopted and help him in all things pertaining to his department. Natur- ally the captain accepts the judgment of this committee, which is composed of old Harvard oarsmen, in regard to the selection of coach and the sys- tenn to be carried out during his term of office as captain.
 Harvard would like nothing better than to have a graduate coach for the crews, but up to the present none of the graduates has been able to spare the time to coach the crews for any extended period and having learned from experience that changing coaches every two or three years is disastrous to the rowing interests and the de- velopment of the crew, Harvard has employed professional, who, under the direction of the captain and acting On the advice of the committee, gives his entire time to matters pertaining to crew development.
 "We have no Bob Cook at Harvard, and for that reason I see. no reason why-we should, after all these years, return to graduate coaching. We tried it for long time, with only fair re- suits for the reason that our best graduate coaches could not give their entire time to the men and crews, and during that time Yale never even suggested our getting along without the professionals because she had Cook and Kennedy instructing the men and crews.
 "Now that, Harvard has turned the tables and has struck a winning streak I see no reason why we should return to thes old system of amateur coaches, just to suit Yale's convenience"

PADS AND FASHIONS.

Never before were diaphanous n1A- terials so much in evidence at fn9 seashore resorts as they have besn this season.
 Dark blue seems to be the favorfts fabric for suits, frocks and wraps- Still there is vogue for black and white combinations.
 Plain colors in self-materia1s ara rather freely used in combination, as front and back. panels, wide, knee bands, sailor collars and cuffs.
 A notable feature in hat trimming now is that we no longer see the rib- bon bows or flowers placed at ths back All trimmings are gradually working around toward the front.
 Loose mesh canvas is a popular fab- ric for the white hat. Sometimes t is stretched over colored frames and trimmed with simple scarfs of cham ois, foulard or soft suede.
 For cool days at the shore stunning white serge and camel's hair suits are trimmed with many rows and arr row-heads of colored silk. Blue, green tan and black are featured
 Lingerie gowns are elaborately trirn- med with all-over eyelet embroidery and wide lace banding and insertion In fact, many resemble monster cob webs. so open are the meshes.

.1y Cobb Paid $5
 For Breaking Hat
Great Detroit Outfielder Also Apologized to Own CT Whose Lid Was Smashed.

Chigaco Aug. 8.-Many little incl dents of the ball field never get be- yond the ken of a few who happen tc see the occurrence. and as a result there are many actions of the players which are misunderstood.
 In &he first game with Detroit at Shfbe Park at Philadelphia, Ty Cobb leaped over the right field ropes and pulled down long drive of Murphy's. After the catch it was thought by those on the stands and bleachers that Cobb had spiked somebody when he landed in the crowd. Two innings later Tyrus Raymond went back to the same spot and there were various rumOrs about
 One of the most persistent was that Cobb had gone back to trounce some body for unkind remarks about him, while another was that he had serious ly hurt somebody in the jump. At any rate. the feeling was strong against Ty for endangering spectators by such a rash chance.
 Instead the great center field of the Tigers did little act of kindness which shows him in his true character and not as the rowdy that some would have the fans believe
 When Cobb leaped through the air and over the ropes he did not land upon a spectator, but his spiked shoes did go through a new straw hat of one of the crowd. Ty stopped in the crowd long enough to take good look at the owner ands state that he was awfully sorry that it happened
 Then the game went on. Detroit came in to bat and Cobb took the op- portunity to go in his locker in the clubhouse. When next Detroit went out on the field he played thorugh the half inning and then instead of com ing in to the bench with the team Cobb went over to the crowd at the place where he had jumped. Then the fight rumor went up and the crowd surged toward the spot. Cobb did not go to fight, however. He hunted up the man whose straw hat he had ruined and quickly found him.
 I'm mighty sorry about that hat he said. 'I don't want it to be a loss for you and I want you to take this.''
 So saying he slipped a s5 bill in the spectators hand. The man protested and said it was all right, and the few who happened to be near enough to hear and see what happened changed their minds on the spot. Cobb made friends of all who witnessed his act.

What Has Happened
WILD BILL DONOVAN
 STILL WINNING GAMES
Former Waterbury Finger After l7 Years in Majors Con-
 sidered a Star Yet

Back in 1894, or a mere matter of some seventeen years ago, Manager Gus Schmelz, of Washington, landed from Waterbury. a youngster for his ball club by the name of Wm. Don ovan. For about two months young MT. Donovan flashed a mad variety of speed and curves. but only about 1 per cent ever sailed in the direction of the plate. So after a two months trial he was labeled Wild Bilf' and shipped back to the minors again.
 After brief workout in the bush country, Wild Bill began to settle down,and was soon nabbed by Brook lyn. Here he. began to pitch fine ball, but when the American league came into existence. Wild Bill'' decided to try his career out with the Tigers.
 It has been seventeen years since Bill broke in. but he is still held as one of the mainstays of the Tiger slab and one of the best pitchers of his league. His record isn't quite as classy as that of some others, but ne has lost more than his share of tough luck games.
 The changes and turns of the game don't bother Wild Bill" to any ex- tent He is always in there pitch ing and plugging along and is gener- ally a hard man to beat.
 While that Wild BilI' cog given him in Washington seventeen years ago still sticks the correct dope is the other way. Few slabmen in the game have any better control than Donovan ,who can cut the corners and peg the leather about where he pleases.
 Although next to Cy Young in point of service as one of the games vet eraps, Donovan is still one of the of Jennings team, and with George Mullin his last and conclud- ing hope for an American league pen nant
 It takes Bill longer each season to get in shape but there is still many a well pitched game left in his sys- tenn, and it would be no surprise to see him come near rivaling Cy Young's lengthy period of play.
