POUGIIKDEPSIE. June 2s.-Syracuse
has thrown a scare into the rowing
camps OF her rivals. 1t Is all because
her supporters have taken the elastics
of their bankrolls.
Ever since Syracuse won the feature
race here in 1908 the followers Of the
crew have been silent. 1t viii be ro-

on record they had backed their crew.

GIANTS ARE DUE
TO LOSE OPENING
GAME TO BRAVES
Will Nine Straight Victories
for Fourth Time Prove
Hoodoo for Locals?

For the fourth time IN succession the
Giants have hung up string Of nine
successive victories. The spectacular de-
feat OF tho Phillies In the last two
innings OF yesterdays scrap completed
the quartet. and the double header with
Boston to-day will decide whether II Is
to tho seasons regulation run or just a
freak OF luck. According to those who
believe In powers OF the black art such
as hoodoos and jinxes the Giants are
due for a beating In the opening russle
with the Braves. but to offset such a
calamitous situation McGraw has
groomed Matty and Wiltse for the bar
gain day bill.
The only thing that worries the play
ers L. that af.er they have won that
tenth game some nice old gentleman will
step In with set of figures to show
that the same thing was done back In
the prehistoric ages when Dan Brouth-
ers was batboy for the Heirs Kitchen
Lghtfee, and that such thing as a
modern record will forever be impos-
sible.
1t Is a rather queer twist in the for
tunes Of the pastime that out OF ffty-
eight games played New York should
have won nine straight four times. only
to fail down on the tenth. In April the
first run Of nine was broken by the
Phillies. The club then went West and
won nine more. when the Reds grabbed
the tenth. The next run OF nine was
stopped by st. Louis. According to all
presidents II Is. therefore. up to the
Braves to step In with the cudgel this
afternoon.

must have been a reason. Here It Is:

McGraw had gathered from keeping a
weather eye on the dolngs In Brooklyn.
In his last game against tho Little
Brothers OF tho Rich" Brennan gave
four bases on balls In succession and
thereby went to defeat.
McGraw had this dope carefully tucked
away when the Giants began their at
tack and he instructed his men to wait
him out" Nobody was to strike at a
first ball and the batters were to play
out the string to the danger point. As
consequence the Giants were con-
stantly in the hole and couldn't get a
lead. Mr.. Brennan was In exceptional
good form and his one aim in life was
that rubber homo plate. When the

THE OLD HOMESTEAD
Drama of New England Farm Life on
Tuesday Evening

The present season is the twenty
sixth of Denman Thompson's "Old
Homestead" The play is still as
eagerly looked forward to by theatre
goers wherever it is announced for
production. The exceptionally long
life of The Old Homestead" is a
striking tribute to its power to en-
terrain playgoers, who find in its
homely sentiment, its loyable charac-
ters and rural atmosphere a refresh
ing change from the conventional. 1t
is beyond question the most perfect
picture of simple country life that
has ever been presented on any stage.
The bone-bred love OF home, of JUS
lice, or right living, tempered with
sunny wit and kindly humOr, finds its
best exponent in this delightful play
Nearly everybody has seen it and
everyone will want to see it again.
The production and cast will be the
same as on former occasions. The
famous quartette of farm hands is
still leading feature Of the produc-
ton. Not forgetting that sterling
cr aracter actor, William Lawrence,
40 for ten long seasons has played
the dear old New England farmer.
The company appearing here next
Tuesday evening at the opera house
is the original, under the personal
direction of Frank Thompson.

RENTS 100 HIGH
One Of the Grievances Of the Law
renee Mill Operatives.


Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 3l.-One OF
the grievances which has led to the
strike of the mill operatives in this
city. Il developed today, Is the
amount that they have to pay in rent. A
large proportion of them arc housed
in tenements erected by the Ameri-
can Wooden Company. in whose mills
they are employed, and they assert
that the accommodation they can al
ford to buy is of poor quality and is
so expensive that 1t takes up a large
fraction of what they can earn.
A New York Times reporter visit
ed today some of the tenements In
Merrimac street, which are owned by
the Wood Worsted Mill, one of the
group OF factories controlled by the
American Wooden Company. The
rent charged is from Sl.75 to " a
week, and for this the operatives re-
ceive as a rule three rooms-two
bedrooms and kitchen.
In such quarters dwell families
consisting of father, mother and
from FIVE to eight children. In most
cases these houses are frame wooden
Structures, without modern plumbing

to fifty people live.
