Yale's rowing problem.

I doubt very seriously the report
from New Haven that a special COM
mittee will be appointed at Yale to tell
Coach John Kennedy what sort Of a
stroke he is to teach the crew.
The season just closed was one of the
most disastrous in Yale's history, but
the situation will certainly not be i'm
proved by the proposed move.
Any man who ever handled a sweep
realizes that no coach can teach a
stroke in which he does not himself
believe, and If graduates are to tell
Kennedy what he is to tell the candi-
dates, it is simply a case of making the
muddle worse.
Kennedy should either be allowed to
have his own wav in the matter Of the
stroke or else some other coach should
be engaged. On such an exact science
as rowing there is no middle road.

Votes Even on These Hours
for Starting Baseball
Matinee.
SOME FOR FOUR,
AND SOME THREE
Proposition to Be Acted Upon on
Return of the Nationals
From West.

At the end of the week of balloting
on the most popular time for starting
the ball games at National Park the
number of votes on $3.50 and 4:S0 is even.
With the beginning of the week the
earlier hour ran far ahead, but Friday
and yesterday there was an influx from
Government clerks, and the late hour
was strongly supported. There were
some votes for 3 o'clock, ad some for
4, but the real contest narrowed down
10 $50 and 4:3O.
Before leaving here Jim McAleer said
he favored $3.50 o'clock as the starting
time, and it was in Me hopes of getting
ap expression of opinion from the fans
that The Times started the voting cor
test.
AS soon as the directors decide to
take up the question, the votes will be
presented for the guidance of the
moguls.
Among the players and visiting man
ayers there is strong feeling for $3.50,
and If the patronage appears assured
II would not be surprising to see the
starting hour moved up. The Nationals
will be back in Washington the last
week of July, and then McAleer will 90

Elherfelds toss to complete the evident

Noble Effort In Eighth.
In the eighth the Nationals again
made noble effort to retrieve their
fortunes only TO have Bull Perrine

heavily wildly out to Cobb. ElberfeId
wasn't bit anxious, and he got a pass
O'Leary ran out to Cobb's position to
get Gessler's Texas circuit smash, and
still there was hope. IIelivelt came
through with a fine wallop to center,
Schaefer getting away with the sound
of the wood against the horsehide.
Cobb followed with the pill a moment
later, and then made perfect throw to
Casey at the pan.
The Comedian slid in under the back
stop amid the pandemonium of the fans
and even while Casey was making a
second stab at him Perrine called him
out. For fully five minutes the game
was delayed b. complaining Nationals
and then Perrine threatened to fire some
of them out of the contest unless they
took their places. 1t was no use-that's
all.
Bitter End of It.
No one likes the howler. No one
favors foolish chatter over patent plays,
but certainly the Nationals were tusti-
fed yesterday in thinking that all the
sweet things go to the winner and the
loser takes the bitter. Furthermore.
Perine has not umpired a decent game
this year, when the Nationals were
playing. 1t was strange for Dineen. He
is usually very accurate. Milan con-
tributed a beautiful running catch Of
Bush's fly in the seventh, and was
strong in the basestealing line and with
the willow. Indeed, the Tennessee flyer
had a very good afternoon. Mcbride
came in with a couple of his incompar-
able catches in short left and short
center.
Jim Delahanty's playing around the
bag was excellent, several times SCOOP
ing up low throws sure to mean disas-
ter had they gone to the fence.
Dixie Walker deserved to win, not
that the Tigers couldn't hit him, but
because he twirled very even ball and
was there when things counted. Lively
had nothing and Covington little more.
But, say, down here you'll find the
things that decide after all, and all
kinds of junk along this line means
nothing, absolutely nothing:

Kelley, College Athlete,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, July 9.-Herbert

member of the combined Harvard-Yale
team which is now in England training
for an international meet with Oxford
and Cambridge, cabled his brother, Ed

Phillies Angling for
Brooklyn's Players

PHILADELPHIA. July 9.-There are
probabilities that the Phillies may be
able to engineer the deal which has
been hanging fire with the Broollyns
for the last ten days tomorrow.
President Fogel stated yesterday that
he expected to hear from Owner Eb-
belts some time tomorrow in relation
TO the proposed deal, whereby the Phils
would add a valuable hurler to their
badly crippled pitching corps, and also
probably pick up an extra outfielder in
the bargain. Just what players the
Phillies have in mind Fogel refused to
state.

That amateur rule.

The District Amateur Baseball Com
mission made a move in the right di-
rection yesterday, when Il passed the
rule naming July Is as the last date
on which ball players may be regis
tered.
Although the constitution looked good
at the start of the season. the managers
soon found a way of getting around
the code by releasing a player and
then signing him Immediately after a
game. By this method the regulations
as to the number of players allowed
each club was openly violated but it
now appears as though the latest rule

White Sox dangerous.

AS the season progresses the indica-
tions are that that Chicago club is
going to be mighty troublesome in the
American League.
Comiskey has a combination of vet
Grams and newcomers that work so well
together that the club is now in third
place, and If it can hold the speed
which it has reached of late, may be
able to cut into the advantage of the
leaders before the end of the present
series in the West.
New York had a good streak, but
there has been nothing startling in the
