San Diego. Cal, Aug. 26.-Seven
men, alleged to be members of the

GARFIELD SCORES ARcHB0LD
Calls His Statement Deliberate ant
Unqualified Falsehood.

Cleveland, Aug. 26.--All plans for
the prosecution of the Standard OIL
company had been outlined by James
r. Garfield, as head Of the bureau OF
corporations, before the fall OF 1904,
when John ID. Archbold stated before
the senate committee at Washington
the company made a contribution OF
100000 to the Republican campaign
fund.
This statement was made by Mr..
Garfield. who, referring to his diary,
found letter of Nov. 4, 1904. in which
Mr.. Roosevelt denied that such gifts
had been sought.
"A deliberate and unqualified false.
hood" was the way Garfield charac-
terized the evidence given by Mr..
Archbold in SO far as 1t dealt with the
prosecution.

TWENTY YEARS ON

No. p in tho John Nolan Series-In-
sidde Workings Of the Game as
Ringers

My halter friend from New Jersey
who came to work at Norwalk gave
me the tip that made a start for our
ringing tour. He had a paper con-
tanning the challenge Of George Du-
frame Of Elizabeth to run any man
in the state from to % miles for
any reasonable amount. Dufrane and
his hackers had just cleaned up about
$4,000 IN a 25-mile race in March, $780,
when Dufrane defeated Pat O'Neill of
Bloomfield for $500 side and the state
championship.
We located in Orange, N. T., and
tried to get on a match with Nick
COffey. but he spotted us for ring
ers, and refused, but arranged to
come in with us and help US get some
matches Then we went after OrNeiu,
but he had been warned BY Pete He
gelman TO look out, and refused to
entertain any thought of q race.
We then decided to hire the Park

another local runner, and conclude tho

could run, while Sullivan was intro
duced rs John Smith, a gentleman
with sporting proclivities.
Eaton was to be married in a short
time and that 500 looked good to him.
Sullivan and | had laid out the track,
and called it LIZ laps. when, in reality,
1t only required 16 laps to make a
miie our intention being, in making
the distance to be run nearly q quar-
ter of n mile over the distance, to
make the time appear poor in order to
convince the hackers OF Dufrane that
they would have an easy mark in the
Orange halter. 1t was a common oc-
currenco to run on short tracks to
make record breaking races, with the
object Of drawing on the public, but
making a long track was almost I'M
heard Of.
Eaton took the lead at the start and
held it for about three-fourths of the
way, when 1 passed him, and won by
about 20 yards in II minutes. Eaton
was as surprised as the spectators,
but the time seemed slow and little
comment was made. We cleared over
500 on this affair, and Sullivan, COf-
fey and | divided it equally.
The next day Sullivan started for
Elizabeth to get Dufrane, finding
MIN at his work at the drydock. Sui
Ivan pretended to be John Smith of
Orange and that ne had won S25 by
backing Dufrane against Pat O'NeiI,

STUDYING ENGLISH STROKE
FOR THE YALE CREW.
Bob Cook is After Something to Beat
Harvard.

Latest adyices from England are to
the effsct that Bob Cook, the old time
coach of Yale university rowing, is
watching the Oxford varsity crew at
work preparing for Its annual race
with Cambridge in the hope of acquir-
ing more definite knowledge of the
English stroke, with a view to defeat
ing Harvard at New London next June
with his Yale crew.
While the torpid races were in prog
ress at Oxford on Feb %. and the
crew was taking its practice below
locks, DIR. Bourne, coach Of the Oxford
crew, accompanied by Mr.. Cook, fol-
lowed and carefully noted the move
ments of the men. boat and ears They
were sent off slowly at q to the min
ute to enable Mr.. Cook to grasp the
fundamentals. and, the water being
rough, the men we're callel on to exer-
else rare workmanship on the row to
the lock.
The feeling prevails in England that
Mr.. Cook has found In Mr. Hartman
a very keen young oarsman, who net
only possesses the wealth but the en-
thusiasm to keep at it until such time
as he has mastered the English stroke,
and that in this way he Will be build
ing the foundation Of Yale's future
rowing policy.
It was learned that Mr.. Cook does
not care to brave the chilly March
winds on New Haven harbor and win
in all probability rem ain abroad in or
der to have the Yale crews we'll along
in their rowing before his advent By
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1912-03-07

this plan he will be relieved of much of
the drudgery Of coaching the men in
tubs, a form Of rowing he firmly be-
iieves in ard always advocates.
Mr. Cook was in New Haven long
enough last fall to lay the foundation
for the varsity crew, but being q vet
eran at the game he realizes that this
years freshman crew should start
right if Yale is to regain supremacy
and that is what prompted him to send
over for Hartman and have him take
q post graduate course in the Oxford
school Of rowing, which has brought
victory to that university in the annual
race with Cambridge the last three
years.
The work of r. c. Bourne Of the
Oxford crew, who has stroked all three
crews to victory and is trying to land
the fourth and make a new record, is
considered by Englishmen to be stan
dard form. and for this reason Cook
and Hartman win take him for their
model in their efforts to transplant
English rowing methods in this coun-
try.
1t win be remembered that when
Mr. Cook returned from the Henley
invasion several years ago he brought
back with him a complete change Of
stroke, which strongly reminded old
rowing men of the style that the last
years Yale freshman crew used at
New London.
As the water in the harbor at New
Haven is open, it is expected that Yale
| will be enabled to get adoat weeks
| ahead Of Harvard this spring.
