YALE's HEROIC MEASURES
 TO PRODUCE WINNING CREW.
Endurance Will Be the Quality Aimed
 For in the Next Eight.

A string of defeats at the hands of Harvard crews has stirred the Yale rowing authorities to unusual eXertions to develop the finest material in the university, and greater efforts are be- ing used at Yale this year than ever before to fill the boats with men who can not only stand the strain of the four miles at New London but men who can pull the boat across the line before the crimson. Last year liar ward swept the river, and the Yale varsity has not won since Captain Ide's first crew was victorious in the. June of 1907.
 This year an innovation in training was started in sending the men out for run before they were allowed to go into the shells.
 And after the run the men go into the boats. Last year they went into the boats before they went for the run This year it is planned to have no breaking down the last minute. menced, the men go out on the harbor around the edges of which there is still ice. On the harbor in midwinter few years ago would have seemed a very reckless undertaking, but not so this year. And in the early part of for half mile or less, while this year it is never less than & mile and ofter two miles. Anything goes this year.
 There has not been such enthusiasm over rowing in years at Yale. Perhaps the new boathouse is partly responsi- ble but one reason is probably the personality of the aptain Another is the long series of defeats at the hands of Harvard, which have brought the total number of defeats by the crin- son within three of the total number of victories by Yale.

Bout With Tommy Kilbane Stops In Fourth Round
 When Featherweight Champion Smashes Bone.

innings, Tim had to stand out there for more than five hours, and it made him grouchy.
 Mike Powers was catching for Phil adelphia, and Mike, being tired him. self, wouldn't attempt to stoop and block the low throws that occasion ally came, and some of those low throws would be stopped by Tin's shins. Tim finally got wise to the fact that he was acting as backstop. and with fine sarcasm leaned over Mike shoulder and remarked:
 "An apron is what you need between your legs, and if any more low ones land on my shins I'll deprive you of my company. I'll umpire behind the pitcher, and you know you've just told me I can't see that far"
 Billy Evans runs his game in {, slightly different way. He assumes a fatherly attitude that serves his pur- pose we'll. He talks in a kind, sooth- ing tone of voice as if it pained him to call you out He's very sorry and would like to call you safe, but he re- ally can't. When a man runs up to Billy protesting he was safe "a full length of that step, Billy will fold his arms and in that awfully sorry, CO., rective voice, answer:
 'rNow, Fred, it was very close, very close; but you were out, Fred, just a half a step."
 Though every umpire tries to run his games as smoothly and with as resort to benching man unless abSo- lutely necessary, but a player just has to object when called out, and he al- ways objects more or less in prOpor- ton to the closeness of the play. The leopard cannot change his spots.

SACRIFICE FLY RULE HELPED BATTING AVERAGES
Put Murphy and McInnes in the 900 Class-Crawford Made 17 Sacrifices
 to the Cutfis!d.

Billy Murray, former manager Of the Phillies, was responsible for two players of the Philadelphia American league club getting into the Society of the Three Hundred last year. Mur- ray was not the official scorer of the White Elephants in 1910, but in the season of 1898 he made the plea that a batter who walloped long fly to the outfield that brought in a man should be credited with sacrifice hit Placed on the rules committee, Mur- ray carried his point and the rule was incorporated into the code.
 The records of the American league for 1910 show 13 men to have batted 300 or better. Jack Richness, the schoolboy shortstop of the Athletics, wouldn't have been in the Swatters select society if it hadn't been for the sacrifice fly, and neither would Danny Murphy, the veteran outtielder. Me Innes' average, according to the SCOT ing rules in vogue before battars got credit for aerial sacrifices, would have been .297 and Murphy'S .296, says an exchange.
 The sacrifice fly rule did not tend to make the race between Ty Cobb and Larry La1oie for the Chalmers car any closer, as each renowned batsman whanged out five long flies that brought men scooting home. Sam Crawford, the Detroit outfielder, bene- fited most by the sacrifice fly rule, as he made IT drives to the outfield which, though caught, brought men galloping over the plate. Crawford's mark of 2S9 would have been .2S1 on the old system of scoring these long flies. The tonsorial artist from Wahoo, Neb.. was the only American leaguer of 1910 who reached double figures in sacrifice flies. Jack Stahl of the Bos- ton Red Sox, with nine, ranked second In this respect,

UMPIRE O'DAY MIGHT
 BECOME PITCHER AGAIN.
In Case His Eyes Disable Him for the Arbitrator's Duties.

Hank O'Day, the premier umpire of the National league, declares that if his eyes are so bad he cannot continue to act as field judge he will break back into the game as 8 pitcher again.
 O'Day, who has been visiting Presi- dent Murphy of the Cubs, was engaged in flaming bee with Ted Sullivan, the veteran baseball manager. For years O'Day was a pitcher on the Washing ton club when Sully was manager.
 'I might not be able to get into con dition as quickly as in the old days" declared O'Day, "but I still believe l could show some of these young fel- lows an assortment of curves that would do them a whole lot of good.''
 O'Day expressed disapproval of the plan to take the un1pires south on the spring training trips so they could get in practice. He said he thought it would be bad policy to have the play CTS and umpires mixing with each other before the season opened.

 A comparison of the schedule with that of last year will show that the new schedule is different only in two games. Norwich and Bowdoin have been dropped, while Colgate and Tufts are the added starters The schedule contains four home games and five away from home, but as the Trinity game is in Hartford this equalizas matters. Trinity's place on the sched- ule has been pushed forward slightly, while New York university has gone into last position. The game with Yale is, as usual, the first game for both colleges.

A Patent for a Hole.

Curious ideas some people have of patents," a New York coal dealer said "A man came in here the other day and wanted to know if we ever heard of boring holes in the logs we sell for open wood fires, because he said, if the idea was new he was going to get a patent on it.
 T asked him what might be the use of boring holes in the logs; to hang them up? He said that every one liked to see the blaze in an open wood fire and when it got low they poked it or put on fresh logs just to see some more flame If you bored an inch hole through the middle of a log and put it on the fire with the hole verti- cal it would form a kind of chimney, and you would have a cheerful little jet of flame coming up through it until the log was completely burned away.
 T tried it when I got home that night, and sure enough, he was right. But the idea of asking for a patent on such thing as a hole?'-New York Sun.
