GIANTS WON'T
 SEND MCCORMICK
 TO TORONTO CLUB

Boston, June 22.-There is no truth in the report. that Harry Mccormick, oneztimes regular outielder and pres ent pinch hitter extraordinary--ex extra ordinary because he is never called upon to bat in aspinch--has a been re leased to the Toronto. club of the, Eastern league. Mccormick will coil- rinue as candidate. for worlds series money next fall. if only to keep up the social standing of the club.
 At the same time the Mccormick release story was killed the an nouncement was made that the New York clubs option on infielder Arthur Bues, of the Buffalo club of the In- ternational league, has been transfer red to the Boston Braves.
 Bues has been playing grand bail for Stallings, developing unexpected speed among other pleasing traits. but McGraw evidently figures that Milton Stock, pastiming with the same club, is the better prospect of the. two and that one new infielder will be as many as he can. carry next year-if he wants to carry any at all.

WINS BOAT RACE IN
 HOLLOW FASHION

u New London. Conn.,, June 22.-HarS ward, with an American stroke, scored a triple rowing victory over Yale, em-. ploying British methods, on the Thames yesterday. Having won the freshman eight pared event and the varsity fours in the morning, the Crimson came back just before sun down with varsity eight pared crew that rowed away from Bob Cooks pu- pills from the start and swept down to the judges boat with nearly five lengths to spare. Harvard covered the four miles in 21 minutes 43 1-2 seconds, while Yale was timed in 22 minutes, 4 seconds.
 After short, desperate struggle just after the gun sent the varsity crews awoy at 5:45 o'clock, the Crim- son oarsmen, hitting up, their stroke to 39, took the lead and were half a length to the good at the end of the first hundred yards. This ad- they had nearly a length at the half mile. From that stage of the race to the end Harvard held the enemy safe. ..sxsrs. sYsss.,a ,,
 In all three races Yale was beaten at the flash of the referees revolver. Wray's pupils got. the Jump on the New Haven: men and. capturing an
 
 rest of the way. In, the freshman race Harvard led all the way, but near the end came on mighty squirt of sthe Yale youngsters, who were beaten less than. a length. Harvard's freshman rowed the two miles In 10:62 and Yale's in 10.54 1-2.
 Jim -Wray, the. Harvard coach, is an Australian, but he has developed a stroke that is close initiation of the. Cornell stroke as perfected by Charles Courtney. The Harvard crews showed careful training, and muchaof the credit naturally belongs to Wray. s4 Bob Cook, once inVincihle as Yale.s coach, has worked hard to improve rowing at New ,HaYen,s but the results are sdiscouraging.
 It was the opinion of rowing sharps last night that Yale will go. back 10 the Cook stroke of the-' S0s and sos, when the Blue beat Harvard inces- sanity. F To make; this change Cook will have. to- 1engthen the slide and increase tile kick with the legs, there. by taking some of the strain away from the waistband. At least four of the Yale men in the varsity boat !keeled over with griping pains in the abdomen after the first mark was reached a.< # ' Yale awas game to the end, but could not prevent Harvard's steadily increasing advantage, so that when Harvard won by about five lengths in comparatively easy fashion. When the men stopped rowing they splashed water on one another and rested a few moments. watching their rivals come to the final mark. The Yale men were pretty well exhausted, but nobody collapsed.

FIRST THINGS

James Henry Lane, first United States Senator from Kansas. was born ninety-eight years ago today, June 9, 1914. He was a native of Indiana, Mexican war and member of Con gress before settling in Kansas, then the scene of bloody warfare between the slavery and anti-slavery parties. At first Lanes attitude was equivocal, and he was member of the two rival constitutional conventions at Leaven- worth and Topeka At length he cast his, lot with the Free State party, and in 1856 was chosen United States Sen ator, but was debarred from his seat.

 STICK WIELDERS
(By Wagner.)

If the Bridgeport management had known that Chief Snyder was going to be laid up, there, would probably have, been no double header arranged for yesterday. The Mechanics went into the fray with crippled boxmen and Hartford took two games from the locals. The score of the first was il to 5, and the second to 2.
 Speed Finn, formerly of Springfield, tried to pitch for the Mechanics in the opener, but he didn't have any thing. The Senators pounded him hard in the first two innings, There was also some bad fielding contribut- ed by Stow and Bridges. The home boys had the satisfaction of knocking Pete. Wilson off the rubber in the fourth. Averett. formerly of Mon- real, finished for Hartford and did weH., as7

 Manager McCann has suspended Pitcher. Ducky Holmes. the big south paw secured from Newark Holmes arm has been troubling and he hasn't shown speed enough, to dent a cream puff. The manager thinks vacation may bring Holmes into form. Tommy Barron, who has twirled for docal semf-pro teams, was taken to Hart ford today. Manager McCann plan ned to use him to help out the crip- pied staff. Dick Tuckey. is slated to work against Springfield tomorrow.
 The check for 5000 which the Bos- ton Nationals paid foe Frank OeRourke has been received by the Bridgeport club. That is the largest amount ever received for Bridgeport player. Chief Snyder is feeling better today. He is under a doctors care but has been keeping close to- home. He ex- poets to be back in the game next week. .,sa
 The Mechanics' pitching staff at present is as full of holes as Swiss cheese.
 Chief Snyder's illness came at bad time for the, Bridgeport club. With four games in two days the club need ed all it's pitchers. Just at, present Gibbs and Tuckey look like the only ,dependab ble pitchers. And it is more difficult to get pitchers this season than ever before. , The chances are that Manager McCann will have to put on his green whiskers and gum shoes next Monday and go on a scout ing trip.
 One of. the bright things in the af- ternoon was contributed by Jack Spratt in the sixth inning of the sec ond game when he caught Mowreys of the Senators off second on the hidden ball trick. They'll be working the shell game arfdS the gold brick stuff next Jack kept the ball under his

HYMNS CHANGES AGAINST
 JOHNSON LOOK VERY SLIM
Formsr Champion Thinks Pa!zer- Wells Bout
 x Will be Good

Day" And readers. as my friend. suggests, 1t Is all question of how good the champion is physically. , As evsry- body knows Flynn at his best does and whatever hope there is of Jim's being returned victor must be build- ed upon the belief that the present title holder will be unable to toe the mark anywhere near his begt shape. The old saw about youth being served can hardly apply here az there Is scarcely more than a years differ ence in the ages of the two men. But it is a we'll known fact that Flynn has clung pretty closely to the straight and narrow path while Johnson has been cutting some awful didoes during his reign as champion fighter of the universe.
 Next Friday night at Madison Square Garden Al PaIker will box Bombardier Billy" Wells for the

At any rate the big fel- lows will revive local interest in a sport that has been suffering from an over dose of mediocre talent. Gotham fans hunger for s1ghtf4ef good big men. They have been surfeited with Of Wells we of this side, know little outside of what the cables have tipped us from time to time. and Wherefore are not competent to pass Judgment on his ability as a boxer. Palxer may be heavy weight cham pion in the near future if mistakes are not made in the process of devel- oping the natural fighting talent the young man possesses in abundance. I have enough confidence in my knowl- edge of the game to believe could take charge of Al and make cham pion of him. To my way of thinking he is a second Jenries and the one white heavy today who appears to be made of genuine championship tin- Der. Palzer has had quite a long vacation from the ring, due to, differ ences of opinion with his form CT manager, Tom O,Roure, anas for that reason may not show at his excuses for the big fellow; 1t is only natural to expect him to shuw some i'll effects of lack of work.

There arc rumors, as is generally the case in matches where champion chips are involved. that the affair is . frame-up. but there is no founda = tjon for the stories. Any pre-arrange- sment Would call for Johnson to quit to his opponent, and the negrO's van aty would nevef in my opinion permit of l1ln ''lat1nE down. to much Unal1er m1n. eS
 Flynn is taking long chance; he Ss fiSkfng beating without monetary return worth mentioning against the chance of winning a title and there after reaping a golden harvest in picture receipts and theatrical en- gagements. He has absolutely noth- 1ng to lose in the matter of reputa- ton. Ninety mine out of every hum dred men who follow pugilism expect Johnson to win. No disgrace will attach to Flynn should the champion beat nina victory will mean fame and fortune that come to few men.
 It may interest my readers if I quote a few passages from a letter juit at hand from 2 friend who has been at Ees Vegas for several weeks. He aayO among other things: There n no denying that Johnson is carry ing too much weight around the mid-section. Flynn will enter the be handicapped, with considerable fat tho day. of the fight.
