HARVARD EIGHT
 GETS BAD ROAST
Students Say OarSmen Looked Around at Crowd Instead
 of Rowing

Cambridge. Mass, May 14.-When the Harvard crew men return to practice Thursday. a big overhauling is due in the varsity eight which fn- ished second in the triangular brush with Princeton and Pennsylvania last Monday.
 Coach Jim Wray stated yesterday that from two to four new faces will appear in the varsity boat on that day. The Crimson oarsmen are being heartily ''panned'' for the action in .trubber1ng'' around the course during the race when they should have been devoting every ounceS of strength to getting a more rapid forward move ment of their craft
 Morgan. Reynolds and Pirnie were -taI1 1nss at the conclusion of the row. Pirnie, who stroked the shell, suf- fered from stomach trouble during the race, and when the shells had landed was carried ashore

ENGLISH COACHING
 SYSTEM AT YALE
 CLOSELY WATCHED

Followers of rowing throughout the country, az well as those directly in- terested in Yale, are awaiting with considerable interest the results to be obtained by A. G. Kirby, the Oxford crew coach, who is here to train the Eli oarsmen MT. Kirby arrived Sat urday on the Baltic on the invitation of the Yale Athletic Association to be- come advisory coach. He will be fol- lowed by MT. Gold in about two weeks and within a short time followers of amateur rowing will have an oppor- tunity to see the effects of the system which has been so effective in Eng land, when applied to American oars men.
 The introduction of the English stroke at Yale will mark a. new chap ter in rowing for the Blue. Those who have been giving the matter careful study, including Capt Snowden, are confident that the move will be a big success. The training of the crew will be entirely in the hands of the English coaches as soon a they arrive.
 The Yale crew as it stands to-day is rowing smoothly but seems to lack dash and drive, which, it is claimed is and which fault it is expected the new coaches will remedy. Speaking of the present condition of the crew and the changes that 1t is believed will be brought about by Messrs- Kirby and Gold, Albert H. Barclay of the Yale Alumni said recently:
 seWhat the final result of this inno- vation will be no one can predict, so far as the present crew is concerned. But this change in the coaching is certain to have a great influence on the future of rowing at Yale. It will mean the development of a stroke more closely patterned after the Eng fish stroke than any that Yale has hitherto worked out.
 It will mean the rowing more per fectly of the stroke that Yale has, since early in the '70s, been striving to row. Whether Yale will ever be able

DAY OF RAGING
 MACHINE PASSED
Yacht to Defend American Cup
 Will Be More Substantial

Bristol R. T., May 13-OId boat building experts here who have help ed produce the Americas cup defend CTS for 20 years believe that the lat est Lfpton challenge vilI be accepted ana are preparing for active win ter's work on one or two 75 foot sloops built on what are known as wholesome Enes.''
 It is also believed that two or three other boats will be constructed in Bos- ton and New York, and that the American trial races in the summer of 1914 will find half a dozen able looking boats at the starting line.
 The day of the racing machine for the Americas cup defense is passed said one of the old triggers to-day. 'It reached it's maximum in the Reliance The 1914 fleet will show speed, safe has been missing in tthese cup yachts since we pushed the Vigi1ant over board 20 years ago. In the old days Of the Vigilant, Volunteer, Mayf1ovv- CT and Puritan no one thought of bunking anywhere except on the boat itself. But the Defender of 1895 and her successors, the Columbia, Consti- tuition, Independence and Reliance, as well as the three Shannrocks, had no accommodations whatever and a fleet of tenders was necessary.
 Furthermore, the 75 foot sloop will SoSC 1AOA OWASNs not AK11cn more man $5O,OO0 if built of wood and perhaps double that amount if constructed of bronze. The Reliance was launched at cost of $250,oOO and as much more was spent before she was hauled out at City Island the day after the last race. She is there yet and worth perhaps $5,Ooo in junk. Her sailing days are about over. But these T5 footers will have as useful a future as the Puritan, Mayhower, Volunteer and Vigilant, all of which were raced and used for cruising after the pri- mary object for which they were built was attained.
 Again, it will take scarcely more than 20 men before the mast to han de one of these boats compared with the 35 required to sail the Reliance

to row this stroke as the EngIishnen row it is a debata-bIe question. But as this is the stroke that every suc- cessful coach has copied, with varying success, it is essential that Yale men should learn it, if Yale is to develop a winning stroke under the guidance of Yale coaches.
 The new coach will find 8. rather unusual Yale crew. The first var sity rows very smoothly for this time of the year. The men are well to- gether and have a lot of good points that will undoubtedly be of material assistance to the English coaches in their work. The boat is reasonably well balanced and for the most part is made up of men who are strong and have the necessary qualities for oarsmen. It would seem as though the English coaches would be able to use this method to good advantage.

THIRTY GROOMS FOR
 ENGLISH POLO PONIES

New York, May 14.-Forty-four polo ponies, the best that British gold could buy, were unloaded from the steamship Minneapolis yesterday and sent to the stables of the Piping Rock Country club, on Long Island, in read mess for the international polo match es in June. The ponies, entered un- der a $50,O0O bond, are valued at $10O,OO0, and no human traveller had better care during the voyage from England. Thirty red sweatered grooms attended them. They were fed selected hay and English oats, and enough of this was brought along to last them during their stay. Twenty four of the ponies belong to the duke of Westminster, and G. w. Naylor, for 21 years the dukes stud groom, is in charge of the lot.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Jack Coombs, the star twirler of the Athletics, Is slowly recovering from his illness, but will not be able to get back into the game for time.
 Speaker, Lewis and Henrickson of the Red Sox are polling for a com bined average of about .360 yet the team is down in sixth place.
 Otis C1ymer's inability to play with the Cubs last Saturday was due to the fact that he ate $S steak in one of the gilded grills in New York and right away got ptomaine poisoning.
 The showing Jim Thorpe, the dis qualified Olympic athlete, has made in exhibition games, has caused Giants fans to beg McGraw to place him in the regular lineup.
 Shouldn't the Cubs be called the veterans? In their lineup are Schulte, Evers, Leach, Reu1bach, Ritchie, Archer, Corridor, Bresnahan and a few. others who have been playing for several generations.
 The Maps so far have refused to ttcracl1' as has been widely predicted. Maybe, after all they've discarded their famous trick and will become real pennant contenders. While dis CuSS1nS l10 r1NdpSs IL 1Il1SnI pc well to look. into the record of one J. Birm- ingham as manager.
 Eddie Foster, the Senators third baseman, who is suffering a slight at tack of typhoid fever, is reported by the Georgetown hospital to be great ly improved. However, according to the attending physician, he will not be able to rejoin the team until the western trip is over.
 Bostonians now are calling little Maranvi11e "the Rabbit Also they are rising to proclaim that he is one of the very few men in the game who really can place a hit, which over comes his inability to smash the ball quite as hard as some of his larger contemporaries.
 Does winner pay? Ask Charles Ebbetts, boss of the Dodgers. 2n if teen home games including the two exhibition performances so far played the Brooklyn turnstiles have record ed attendance equal almost to that which appeared for the first fifty son.
 By shutting out the White Sox in a game last Saturday Walter John son of the Senators, annexed a record of 52 2-3 score1ess innings breaking the old record of AS.

 IN SUNSET LEAGUE

In inc second game in the r. M C. A. Sunset League. played last night at Seaside Park, the Pirates defeated the BraveS-Dodgers in a. one-sided game by the score of 1922. The fourth inning proved the u1dodng of Pitcher Bump when his own wild heave cou- pied by a bunch of hits sent nine runs across the plate, forcing the lanlzy ezT1rfer to retire in favor of Davis. Brsad, the star southpaw of the Pi- rates had his opponents at his mercy aII through the game, Davis being the only man to hit him safely.

 Members of the Australian tennis team who have been practicing at Philadelphia have shown great speed and it is expected they will bother the American team.
 No report had been received this morning from Umpire Mason regard ing the trouble in Waterbury yester- day when Manager Corridor of Spring field was put off the lot after kicking over a decision by Mason. The Ponies claimed a hit by Swander was fair but Mason called 1t foul Then when Swander batted again he was called out at first after the Ponies thought he had beaten the throw. The fire works started then. As a result of these disputes over foul balls President O'Rourke will ask each club to mark the foul lines more plainly from the bases to the flags. In some eases he will recommend that the lines be slightly raised so that the unpires can see them better.
 The Cleveland Americans have sent Pitcher Baskette to Toledo and taken Pitcher Dave Gregg. a brother of Jean Gregg, in exchange. The same man owns both clubs so it's a very simple trick.

EARLY Nav York.

New York city had become one OF
the most important places on the coast
before 1850. Its great advantages
were its fine harbor and the noble rtv
er which emptied into it The other
towns on the cosst were shut of from
the far west by the Appalachian
mountains or the Alleghenies, which
follow the Atlantic coast at distance
OF 100 10 200 miles from 1t from Geor
gia to Maine. But the Hudson river
broke through this barrier and gave
New York easy access to Canada and
the profitable Indian trade. In 1897
the city contained about 1900 inhab
itants. about one-third being slaves
It extended from the Battery to pal
lsaded wall. where Wall street now
runs. All above Wall street was IN
the country. The population grew to
about $500 in 1880 and about $4,000 In
1850.
