YALE CREW READY
FOR penn ON MAY II
Ellis Refused to Go South to
Row This Spring

Philadelphia, April 17.-Following
a meeting of the Board Of Directors
of the Pennsylvania Athletic Associa-
ton 1t was announced that arrange
ments had been concluded whereby
the red and blue varsity crew will
meet the Yale eight at New Haven
in a two mile race on May ~. Nego-
tiations had been hanging fire between
the managers of the two crews for
some time, but it was generally
thought that insurmountabIe obstacles
had been encountered, and conse-
quently the final announcements came
as surprise.
Early in the winter Manager Smith
of the Pennsylvania crews, wrote to
Yale suggesting that the Ellis come 20
the Schuylkill for weeks training,
to be wound up with a race with
Pennsylvania, as was done in 1909
Yale demurred, saying that as Easter
came so late this year there was little
need of going South during the holi-
days in search of smooth water This
was accompanied by a suggestion
that as last time Yale came to PhiIa-
delphia, this time it was meet that
Penn should go to New Haven. And
this is the way it was finally settled,
The arranging of this race gives
Penn the best rowing schedule she
has had in many years. A race had
already been arranged for the varsity
with the midshipmen at Annapolis on
May and for the second eight at
Ithaca with Cornell on Decoration
Day. Several crews will also be en-
tered in the American Henley, while
as usual the season will be wound up
with the intercollegiate regatta, at
Poughkeepsie.
With Penn scheduled to meet Yale
and Annapolis. and Cornell to meet
Princeton and Harvard in preliminary
races, there is little possibility this
year of dispute at the end Of the sea-
son as to the college rowing cham
p1onsh1p. Penn and Cornell are re-
cognlzed as the best of the POUCH
keepsie crews. If they succeed in
beating Yale and Harvard in the
preliminary races there can be no
doubt that the championship will be
settled by the race at Poughkeepsie
But, on the other hand, if Penn and
Cornell get trounced New London will
be looked upon as the decisive race
This is we'll. for far too often has the
season ended with the New London
and Poughkeepsie victor each claim
ing the championship honors.

One ROUND HOGAN
HOPEFUL OF VICTORY
Expects to Trim Champion AID
Wolgast Wednesday Night

Round" Hogan of California, an
nounces that his battle with Adolph
wolgast, worlds lightweight cham
pion may be the last of his career.
Hogan and Wolgast are scheduled to
box at the Madison A. C. of New York
on Wednesday, April 26. The Califor-
mia lad has seen the michigan Wild
cat'' in action and he believes that he
will have no difficulty in "flattening"
the champion. Hogan said yesterday:
"I was at the ringside and saw Ad
ed anybody in my life, and I do not
intend to start now. But all I have
to say is this: If I can't beat Wolgast
I never want to fight again. L have
a very good opinion Of my own abil-
ity. You fellows who write about
fighters and fights know better than
1 do whether I have a swelled head
or not, but I don't think L have; 1
only believe that L can fight we'll
enough to beat Wolgast and if L can't
I know / can never be a real cham
pion Therefore. if Wolgast beats me
when I fight him I'm going to quit the
game for good. That's ALL
AS a matter of fact, Hogan is any
thing but a "swell-headed" fighter.
He is a youngster of the modest type,
like Packey Mcfarland but he insists
that he can fight
eff I had been right when [ fought
Brown I would have Won easily" says
Hogan. 'I met him before I was ac-
climated. I'm not making any eX-
cuses but I was not as good as ]
might have been. When 1 go against
Wolgast I'll be at my best, and the
best man will certainly win. If that
man isn't Hogan, then I'll quit the
game entirely. I believe in being a
champion if one has to be a pugilist.
There's no mOneV Or glory in being
else. So it's me for the title
Or bust"

How do the big league races look
to you? Do you think the Athletics
will come home in front in, the Amer
lean league and that the Cubs will
repeat in the National? Just now
neither the Athletics nor the Cubs
look like champions but a poor start
doesn't count for much. Chance
men are generally slow in getting go
ing but they finish like a house Attire.
They had great difficulty with the
st. Louis Cardinals and then the best
they could do was defeat and two
extra inning ties.
The New York Americans handed
Mack's crowd a bunch of hard wal
lops. Three victories from the world 8
champions is fine record. Although
Yankee fans are not unduly elated
they are beginning to feel that Chase's
men will be there or whereabouts at
the finish. Chase has a fine bunch of
pitchers in Ford, Fisher, Quinn, Cald-
well, WARRIOR and Vaughn and he fig
ures that If his men do amy hitting

with.

PITCHERS IN
GOOD SHAPE
FOR CAMPAIGN
Rumsey, Gibbs and Clunn
Looked Good Against New
Bedford

Some of those base hits which have
been in cold storage, We're brought
forth by the Mechanics at Newfield
park Saturday when the locals bang
ed their way to a to 2 victory over
the New Bedford team, champions of
the New England league. McCann's
hirelings swatted the visiting twirlers
for nine wallops and looked generally
as if they had polished their batting
lamps.
They were up against some pretty
good beavers, too. Pruitt, the first
slabman, was formerly with the Bos-
ton Red Sox and Mcintyre, the sec
ond man, had a little something. Bob
Stowe is apparently going to have a
great year with the stick. His contri-
buttons Saturday were three hits, a
sacrifice and a stolen base. Bob hit
1868 last season. Tom Crooks connect
ed for two Dagger and a single and
and a one spot. Hi Ladd couldn't
connect. He came up twice with men
on bases but couldn't get the ball out
of the diamond. But Hi will be there
when the league games roll around.
Manager Mccain trotted out three
hurlers. Tex Rumsey who worked
five rounds, had a great jump on his
fast ball, and made a fairly good
showing. He was hit hard In the
fourth when New Bedford grabbed
two runs on a. pair of singles and a
two Dagger. The big Texan says he
hasn't got the kinks out of his arm
yet. He has charley horse in each
leg and for that reason looks like a
bush Lacquer in fielding his position.
He gave New Bedford six hits fan
ned two and didn't isue a pass.
Freddy Gibbs labored in the sixth
and seventh and held the visitors
scoreless. He famed two and didn't
give walk. Chalky Clunn was on
the job in the eighth and ninth. He
didn't allow a hit or pass and whiff-
ed. one. On the whole it was pretty
high class pitching. New Bedford has
a bunch Of youngsters that look fair
but nothing to rave about.

May Get Catcher
From Eastern League
RumOr That Jersey Wants to
Turn Spahr Over to Mccain

Manager Jack Ryan Of the Jersey
City Eastern league team and Del
Mason, one Of his pitchers, were in
the city this morning. 1t is said that
Jersey City wants to turn over one
of it's catchers Larry Spahr, to Bridge
port. Spahr is considered good
backstop He stood third among the
Eastern league catchers last season
with the fine average of 1887. In bat
ting he was weak, however, as his
average of 1872 shows Manager Nc
Cam wants to look Spahr over and
see if he is in good shape before he
gives any decision. Del Mason was
with New Haven last year but was
canned. He is a veteran who claims
he has come back this year.
