SCOTT OF WHITE SOX
 HAS DETROIT'S GOAT

Every star ball player has his par ticular pitching hoodoo but few have a look-in on the record held by Donie Bush. Five years ago the wee short stop of the Detroit took his first time at bat against Death Valley Jim Scott, then a newcomer on the White Sox curving corps. He failed to get the senblance of basehit In fact, Donie is authority for the statement that he never got a ''bIow'' off the Wyoming tUvirIer. t-Scottie'' has twirI- ed against Bush in more than twenty cornbats
 Occasionally the dynamic Detroiter has eked pass from the elk hunt been known to hit past the infie1d to a, waiting outpost arrayed In pale hose. But as Bush has stated, There's s something about Scott's curves that always fool me- In the fifth inning of the morning game at Chicago Decor ation day, .Donie po1ed a double off Lange, the drive sending home the winning rum
 Scott succeeded Wild Bill in the 8th and Bush was his first opponent. While taking toe hold at the plate the Iii ger star told Ray Scha1k he never had been able to solve Ji1n's pitching sys- ton Donie rolled a weakly grounder to Berger.
 Bush Is not the only Tiger who shas his his troubles when Scott Is on the watch. The official statistics show CaHahan's finger to be holder of an other unique record in competition with Jennings crew. Only once dur ing five years of fighting have the Bengals trimmed Scott, and that beat

FACTS ABOUT CREWS WHICH

 coaches in the persons of J. R. Kirby
 and Harcourt Gold, both wel1-known l Oxford University oarsmen. It will be seen therefore, that the ] two university crews came to New London this year after training sea- l sons of radically different character. Jim Wray, the Crimson coach, who has turned out five winning crews, re- mains in charge of the Harvard boat, but the varsity eight has still to win
 it's first race this year, having been defeated by both Princeton and Cor
 nell over short courses last month. Yale has not been tested in an inter collegiate contest this season. The rowing activities at New Haven have been devoted chiefly to learning the so-called English stroke.> Whether the resultant greater backward swing and long recover in the Yale shell will bring to the Blue her first victory in six years has been a subject for anf-
 mated discussion among oarsnen, both amateur and professional. Since the seasons training began there have been many shifts in both crews. AL though the changes in the Crimson s boat were the more numerous and
  eran oarsmen than Yale in the con test
 Because of the sluggish tide, the Thames course is slow compared with the intercollegiate course at Poughkeepsie. The time of twenty minutes. ten seconds, made by Yale in 1888, still stands the Thames record, while the record for four miles lane on the Hudson River is eighteen minutes, ffty-three and one-hfth sec onds, made by Cornell in 19O1-
 As marine picture, the Harvard and Yale regatta on the lower reaches of the Thames probably surpasses any thing of it's kind in this country. Be- cause of the proximity of the Thames course to Long Island Souid, hundreds of steam, motor and sailing yachts are able to obtain good observation anehorages near the finish line, where for a day or two they are ahutter with crimson and blue banners and with signal flags Large excursion steam CTS thronged with spectators crowd in behind the steam yachts; and observa- tion trains on either bank keep other thousands abreast of the contest.

YALE HOPEFUL OF
 BEATING CRIMSON
Captain Blossom of Eli Team Says FeIton Will Be Pounded


 We know Felton's system and are bound to win on Saturday, said Cap tain Blossom of the Yale nine last night. Before the Wednesday game with Harvard we did not know the method by which the Harvard pitcher worked, but now that we have been taught, there is no doubt about the result of the series.'' He said the men are in good condition after their defeat 'tAll the players are fling fin, and there is no reason why our almost perfect record of this season should be broken by a Harvard victory
 Gfle is to begin the game for the Ellis and in all probability will pitch the whole game against Fe1ton, who is almost sure to continue the, series for the Crimson. It was announced that the Yale team will practice in Brooklyn today at 8 o'clock. inme- diately after the Harvard men take the field. The night before the game will be spent in some summer resort, but Captain Blossom refrained from telling the name of the place.

 Harvard won an easy victory over Yaie in the+varsity four-oared two mile race the crimson blade crew crossing the finish line five lengths ahead of the Yale oarsmen. The contest was rowed in a light rain and the rippIed surface of the Thames caused slow time. The unofficial time of the win ner was Il minutes and 5 seconds.
 Yale caught the water first but the Harvard crew soon put the nose of their shell to the fore. The strong, even stroke of the Harvard men stead fly opened up a gap between the two

New London. Conn, June 2o.-The crews of both Yale and Harvard Uni- vers1t1eS meet today in the forty seventh regatta of the two New Eng land colleges. In point of conpeti- ton these crew races hold precedence over all other forms of dual sports in which the teams of Harvard and Yale are accustomed to match skill and en- durance. Stretching back to the au- tunn of 1852 the history of the inter varsity races shows that with but a few exceptions during the infancy of the sport. the oarsnen have tested stroke and stamina, each year.
 In point of antiquity, tradition and prominence these regattas yield to no college contest in American sporting annals. Anteceding the football, base ball and track meets now a part of the annual athletic curriculum, the boat races are in fact only oversnad- owed by the historic series between the crews of Oxford and Cambridge which began in 1S41- Added interest is also given the regatta because of the fact that the winning crew will break the tie of victories now existing as result of the forty-six races that have already become @ part of the boating history of Harvard and Yale.
 Since the first race was rowed on Lake Winnipiseogee on August 3, 1852, the oarsn1en of Yale and Harvard nave ILIdISII0O SQ0CO anu SIEOASIl 4OI- ty-six times, and the total number of wins for each university Is twenty threes showing how evenly matched the two universities have proved dur ing this period of sixty-one years. Vic tories, however, have not been so even ly apportioned in the matters of years for both Harvard and Yale have won and lost races in groups of three or more as a rule.
 Harvard, opening with g. victory in the initial contest, appeared to enjoy the experience, for during the first twenty-three races Harvard won hf-. teen to Yale's eight. The Ellis turned the tide in 1886, and from that year until 1908 the regatta on the Thames. so far as the varsity eight pared crews were concerned, saw, the blue-tipped oars finishing first in every year ex- cept in 1891, 1899 and 1908. Then the pendulum swung to the Crimson again and for the past five years liar yard has led the way across the finish line.
 As a result of this string of defeats Yale rowing auth critics decided that 8 new system was needed. It was de-
