an easy victory over the Yale chaIIen-

The Yale oarsmen were left behind by
a full two lenths in the race that they
expected to win as the first conquest
for their English stroke.
The time was not remarka bly, fast
for the course of one and three-quarter
miles, but the Tigers undoubtedly
could have done better if they had been
compelled to, but they had the lead on
an even stroke all the way from the
start. The winning time was min

Contrary to all expectations, the

Cadillac terror had lost his punch and
was on the way back to oblivion. Dan

draw with the lightweight champion,
and many fans considered that he had
the edge. A little later Wolgast went

VEAN GREGG, GREAT
CLEVELAND SOUTHPAW,
TWENTY-SIX TODAY

Vean Gregg, the giant southpaw
twirler of the Cleveland Maps, will
celebrate his twenty-sixth birthday to-
day. His real monaker is Sylvanus,
but everybody calls him Vean or
Lefty" Gregg was born in Chehalis,
Wash, Oct. IT, 1887. and began play
ing ball with his brother Dave as soon
as they had arrived at the dignity of
pants" When he had reached the
age of twenty-one, and was his own
boss, Vean decided to become a regu-
lar baseball fellow, and hired out TO
an independent club in Lewiston, Ida
no. In 1903 he broke into league ball
with Spokane, In the Northwestern
circuit, where he attracted the atten-
ton Of the major league scouts.
Cleveland paid Spokane $4,000 for
the youthful twirIer, but, instead of
being just tick1ed to death at the
thought of playing in the main show,
eventually refused to play in the
Cleveland yard for the amount speci-
fed in the profered contract. Young
sters are usually ready to accept any
old wage scale for a chance to shine
in fast company, and Vean's inde-
pendence was considered shocking and
not at all chubby by the Nap manage
ment. Gregg was sent back to the
Pacific coast, this time to Portland.
in the Pacific Coast League, with a
string tied to him, by which the Maps
had the option of recalling him at the
close of the 1910 season. Cleveland
recalled him in 1911, and this time
the club was able to reach an agree
ment with Vean in the matter of COM
pensation. The big 1eft-hander was
one of the pitching sensations of the
American League. He went through
his first year in the big league like a
house afre, and did his share toward
putting the Maps in the first division.
Vean has never been modest about
asking for a raise, and at the close
of the 1911 season he expressed a
laundering for an annual income of
$4,000, an amount which very few big
league pitchers find in their pay en-
veIopes. In 1912 Gregg won twenty
and lost thirteen games, and this year
he maintained about the same per-
centage of victories Vean's brother,
Dave. also a pitcher, Joined the Cleve-'

Yale freshman team it was TOMS good

this game was heralded from one end

OF work he will surely earn a place
on Exeter's famous roll of honor
which includes such famous stars of
the past as Jim Cooney, Jim Hogan
and Foster Rockwell, all former Yale
college stars.
One OF the funny constituencies of
Enwright playing at Exeter under the
tutelage of Tad Jones is the fact that
the latter is grooming man who will
later be on the team which is his
alma matters greatest enemy.
When Tom enters Harvard next fall
he will be welcomed with open arms
by every true son of the Crimson and

Tt is practically settled that the
Torrington football eleven will come
here Thanksgiving afternoon to play
the Remington osts at Yost field.
This is one of the heaviest eIevens of
the state and the Naugatuck valley
cooters will come here in a special
train. In a few days announcement
will be made of arrangement for the
series between the Yosts and Wash
ington GIees of New Haven. The
Yosts will probably agree to play a
game in New Haven providing the
Glees come to this city. On account
of the rain yesterday no game was
possible at Yost field. Manager Keen
an stopped the Thomaston team at
Waterbury and thereby saved a little
money for the Yost treasury.

ball games last Saturday show Har-
ward to be further advanced than it's
rivals. Dartmouth sprang a surprise
by beating Princeton to o but Har-
ward cleaned up the strong Penn

heavy Washington and Jefferson eIev-

poor this year although the defense
is good. Carlisle played Pennsylvania
to a to tie and had the better of
the argument throughout.
