To the Firm.

y. l can't remember. I leave those
details to members of my Urinary
member who happens to have the mat
ter in charge
Q. Don't you look after these things?
A. Not to any extent. They take care
of themselves. We have too much to
do to look after all these things.
Morgan remarked that he spent four
or five months abroad each year, and
members of his firm looked out for his
interests. He said he knew nothing
about the voting trusts by which the
Bankers Trust Company and the Guar
anty Trust Company We're controlled.
He said he had nothing to do with es-
tablishing them
Untermeyer then took up the ques-
ton of Daniel G. Reids affiliations with
Morgan & Co. ut the time the Bankers
Trust Company was formed.
Asked if Reid was a member of va
rious other boards, Morgan insisted that
he could not recall. because "he had
paid no attention to such minor de
tails"
Untermeyer then went into the num-
Der of voting trusts held by members
Of J. p Morgan ~ co. Morgan said
he recalled only four-Ere Northern
Pacific Reading and International
Mercantile Marine. He admitted that
he had not named them all, and said
those were the only ones he could
recall at the time.

Fast Questioning
EXCites Morgan.

Mr.. Morgan appeared to be somewhat
excited as Untermeyer fired his ques-
lions at him rapidly and his answers
came disconnectedly. The banker said
he did not remember where a reorgan-
lzation Of a company ever caused any
loss to his banking house. Untermeyer
was trying to show that II ever there
was an error Of judgment in marketing
securities the railroad or corporation
stockholders footed the bill.
Q. DO YOU ever remember a case
where YOU advanced money on default
ing securities and lost by 1t?
a. I can't remember any, but there
have been such cases.
Q. Can you give us any other rea son
why fiscal control OF corporation secu-
rifles is a good thing?
A, Nothing that ls pertinent, snapped
the witness.

ganization of the steel trust

PICKING THE WINNING CREW.
VAIL ACCoMPL1sEdEs WONDERS FOR WISCONSIN.
By Mack Whe1an.

NUMEROUS changes necessary in the seat
| ing Of the boat, and 1t was generally pre-
dicted that the Wisconsin crew was ut
terly out OF the race. In spite OF this
pessimism on the part of the outsiders
the Badgers gave good exhibition OF
| rowing and defeated the crew from Syra-
cuse University, finishing fourth in the
varsity race.
The present Wisconsin University crew
has shown more promise than any which
has been boated on the Hudson by the
Badgers since the 1902 combination fin
ished close behind Cornell in the race
which was rowed June 81 OF that year.
Wallis stroke is radically different from
the one which was taught by young Jim
Ten Eyck. who formerly had charge of
the Wisconsin University crew. Last
, year Vail had to spend most of his time
teaching his charges to eliminate Ten
Eyck peculiarities which did not fit into
the Vail idea OF proper stroke Now that
foundation work is complete he has been
able this spring to spend his time on
| rounding off crew which knew what
| was desired Of it. The Craftsmanship of
the Badgers Is smooth. They catch the
through, and their recovery reduced the
! check on the headway Of the shell to a
minimum.
Wisconsin alumni haye firm faith in the
| ability of Vail to make the university a
leading factor in American university
rowing. Among some Of the undergrad
yates. particularly those who have come
out for the crew and who have been
found wanting, there is a feeling Of re-
bellion because of the iron-handed COM
mand which Vail has taken over the row.
| ing administration. A pleasant, faced
squarely set-up man, with particularly
strong mouth and jaw. Vail does not re-
sort to any of the artificial methods for
inspiring respect called into service by
some athletic coaches. He talks with his
men on other subjects besides rowing, and
there Is more of a comradeship between
them than in any other rowing team on
the Hudson At the same time Vail has
a strong temper, and when really aroused
he refuses to give an inch in his demands. 8.
This was strongly demonstrated at Mad
ison last year when on the eve of the de-
partuFe of the boat for the Hudson he
received indisputable evidence that the

PHYSICAL FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
THE TIME ELEMENT.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

In all matters Of physical training the
time element enters, and not only marks
progress. but helps progress.
The mind automatically measures time
not essentially as seconds and minutes.
but as to occurrences OF certain acts. A
competent physician once told me that
the chief reason men smoke is because
they feel lost without smoke. and be-
lieve that it is time for another smoke .
The tumbler is fine example of this
time element. He does his turns in the
air not only gracefully but just on the
dot. Were he a little too soon or little
too late he could both spoil the act and
harm his own confidence.
In the performance of any exercise
there must be a certain rhythm to it. II
one works at the pulleys. they should rise
and fall exact enough to measure time
with a stop watch. II one is running.
each football should occur in the same
space Of time that the other FOOTBALLS have
taken place.
The reason this time element is SO
necessary is because the response of the
muscles is quite as essential as their ac-
tual work. One thinks of making a cer-
tain move. The message is conveyed
along the motor nerves and the action is
put into operation. When one can exc
cute thought through ready response
one has gone a long way toward the goal
OF physical fitness, for the we'll seasoned
muscle is the one that responds most
quickly.
When l say that concentrated thought
can help this process / do not fear being
accused of mysticism. The more serious
ly one thinks about what one does in the
gymnasium the better 1t is done and the
more good it brings about.
The business man is In his gymnasium
costume, working at a wall weight. He
is moving one hand outward and the
other inward. swinging his body as he
works the weight If he concentrates his
thought on the muscles in use he will
both aid in the rhythm Of the work and
its benefit.
Observance of this time element also
makes possible the doing of better and
more consistent work in the same period,
or for that matter in. a shorter period.

have a little spurt here and a recession
there. This sort of exercise does very
little good, and. possibly, some harm.

ordered program Of exercise. without con-

This is but the second year in which
Harry Vail has been in charge OF the
navy of the University Of Wisconsin.
and for that reason he still has to win
his spurs as far as the regatta at Pough-
keepsie is concerned. Vail belongs to the
Younger generation of college rowing
coaches, and as far as methods are con-
cerned is of the same school as Jim Rice.
the Columbia University rowing mentor.
Vail and Rice are old rowing mates. and
the friendship between them Is one OF
the most interesting points in connection
with the present campaign on the Hud-
son. Vail and. Rice spend considerable
part of their time when they are not en-
gagged in active crew work on the river
together, and there are no secrets be-
tween them.
Last year was the first in which Vail
was in charge of the Wisconsin crews,
and he has made more friends at Pough-
keepsie than some other college rowing
mentors have made in years of campaign
ing. Vail likes friends, and he does care
what people think of him. Any man with
good credentials can come to him and be
assured that he will extend every cour-
tesy to a visitor. At some Of the other
training quarters there is a tendency to
repel people who are not personal friends
of the oarsmen.
If any rowing coach ever had the right
to be disgruntled and disgusted with his
lot, Vail had that right last June at
Poughkeepsie. Misfortunes kept pilns up
to prevent the development Of the Wis
consin boat, but in spite of every dis
couragement, the western rowing mentor
preserved an unruff1ed demeanor and ex-
tended every courtesy to visitors who
came to the Wisconsin camp. It's trite
refrain that two-lne bit of verse which
tells of the man worth while who pre-
serves a smile when everything goes
dead wrong but this sums up the front
which Vail put up to misfortune. The
Wisconsin crew was bothered by the
change in climatic conditions from Lake
Mendoto to the Hudson. Sickness and
several cases of blood poisoning made

may be conceded as having a chance to
furnish some fast contests during the
series even though 1t does not win the
championship.
The rumor to the effect that the Capital
City League will become a six-club or
ganizatiOn is abroad, and 1t is generally
hoped it is true. Nothing could please the
followers of the game more than to see
the circuit finish it's season without a
vestige of stigma to be attached to it

doubt that there are in training now
on the Hudson some Of the most even
ly matched eights that have ever been
sent there by the universities which
support rowing, and the finish should
be the closest in years.
Two eights seem to be given the ad-
vantage over the others SO far Column
bia and Cornell are, it is agreed by ex-
perts, two of the smoothest machines
that have ever pulled an oar over the
classic course Cornell is being trained
SO that it will reach the zenith of its
power Saturday. while the Columbia men
are fit right now. and are being rated
along so as not to be overdrawn at the
time.
Rice, with his Columbia men. last year
gave Cornell the time Of it's life for three
miles, but failed to finish the last half
mile as strong as they might. This
year the mistake will not occur again,
according to those who know the
course of training through which those
Light Blue and White men have been
sent. and confidence reigns among
their followers. 1t is admitted by Cor
nell men that 1T will have to work
harder this year than last to finish
ahead.
There is another club which has a
chance-Pennsylvania. 1t is the general
opinion that the Red and Blue has one
of the most powerful eights in years, and
IL it gets it's full strength in effect 1t is
figured there is an outside chance for 1t
to win.

NEW YORK. June 26-"Hal' Chase.
declared by many to be the greatest first
baseman in the history Of the national
game, and idol OF the fans who follow
the fortunes Of the Yankees, has
brought suit against his pretty young
wife, Nellie H. Chase. for divorce. The
action will come up shortly in the courts
on an application by the wife for alimony
and counsel fees pending decision of
the case.
The wife has entered a general denial
Of the alleged acts charged. and says even
though they had been committed and
Chase's suspicious were correct, he has
both forgiven and condoned the Offenses
which he now sets up in his claim for
divorce

was smoking and otherwise breaking the
rules Of training.
The oarsman was one of the best in the
boat, but Vail publicly eliminated him
from the list of crew candidates. and
later had his varsity letter, which he had
won in the previous year, taken from him.
The affair created considerable nOtoriety,
which was unpleasant, but it did demon
strate that Vail was a. man who feared
no consequences in doing what he thought
was right. He has the unanimous re-
spect of the students of the University of
Wisconsin. His system Is similar to that
enforced by Courtney at Cornell and Rice
at Columbia The general opinion among
rowing critics is that Wisconsin is going
than they did last, and that If Wiscon-
sin sticks to Vail and Vail sticks to Wis
consin the. time is not far distant when
the Badgers will have victorious crew

OF course. the fact that Boston has Sc

the American League does not mean that
they have the pennant cinched by any
means, for. as a matter Of fact. the sea-
son has not yet hit the halfway mark.
But the National League race appears to
be a real runaway. From present indica-
tions no other team in that league has
possible chance when the "Giants" be-
come riled. They simply wade right in,
and that's all there is to it.
But it is somewhat different in the
American League. although a six or seven
game lead does make a team feel a little
chesty. But when we stop to look back
no further than last year the Detroit
Tigers had in the vicinity Of eighteen
