In an effort to abolish the system
of coaching intercollegiate baseball
games from the bench, the Yale
"Daily News" yesterday obtained
opinions on the subject from the
baseball captains of Yale, Princeton,
Harvard, Brown, Williams, Amherst,
Dartmouth and the University Of
Pennsylvania. OF these statements a
majority favor keeping the coaches
away from the bench.

team, says: 81 am decidedly in favor

ROOT OYERRATED SELF
Champion Also Pays Tribute to
Lawrence, Calling Him
lone of Best"
BY FRANK [. KRAnER

The promoters of the New York six
day race should be pleased with the
contest which ended Saturday night,
for it was a true-run race and the
best team won. There was no team
work at any time. from the start To
the finish, and the riders accom-
plished what they set out to do. I saw
approximately eighty hours OF the
race, and there never was any indi-
cation Of teaming when I was pres
emit, and had there been any conn
binations I would surely have heard
about it.
Conflict Easily Master.
oouIiet was easily the best man in
the race. There was no time during
the six days that "Goullie'' was not
the master, and IN the final sprint he
simply outclassed the field. He had
great confidence; he showed that by
the way he rode. and he watched the
best man he had 20 beat In the final
mile, Eddie Root. while he let the
other four do just as they pleased.
Root went too far in front, and had
he waited he would have finished in
second position instead of third.
Eddie was very good, but he over-
estimated his strength. Had he sprint
ed four laps, instead of five. he would
have finished second and Percy Law
renee would have taken third money,
Root may have appeared to be pulling
Gouliet, but 1 feel absolutely certain
that he was not. He has ridden just
that same way in other races and
won. I think that Root realized that
Goullet had him beaten, and he rode
from the front to make sure that he
would keep out OF any pockets and
finish second.
Commends Percy Lawrence. q
Percy Lawrence put up q wonderful
| finish, and he is one of the best six-
day riders In the game. Where he gets
1t from 1 don't know. but he has a
wonderful amount of stamina. In the
final sprint he rode faster than Goul-
let. When "Gouilie" jumped on the
bell lap he pulled away from Percy
about ten lengths, but when the latter
got started he came like a shot and
made up all but one length.
Hill MARRIED Finish.
The foul riding of Fred Hill was the
only incident that marred the finish.
| The Italian, Verri, had the position
back of Goullet and Hill had no right
| to squeeze" him. Verri was game
and fought back, but the whole thing
was uncalled for. When Hill saw thar
he was not In the position he wanted
he should have jumped and gone to
the front and then dropped into the
position behind Goullet from the pole.
1 think Verri would have finished sec
ond had Hill not interfered with him.
Joe Fogler surprised everybody by
his riding during the week. He is not
''all In" by any means, and he may
add few more to his long string Of
victories before he is through.

TO
BLOCK TINKER DEAL
Reports from Cincinnati Say
Directors DisapprOve Herr
mann's Action.
TINKER is STILL UNDECIDED

Reports from Cincinnati, the town
which has been famous because of
its deposed baseball managers, con-
tain vague stories of dissension
among the Reds stockholders. One
account states openly that the di-
rectors of the Cincinnati Club do not
believe Garry Hermann made a
good business deal in accepting $685.
900 for Tinker, and agreeing to give
Joe $4,000 for signing with Brook
Ign. They threaten to block the
deal. Whether the Cincinnati direc-
tors can legally cancel the agree
ment signed by Hermann and Eb-
bets is another question. Hermann
had full authority to act, according
to his statement, and it is said that
he will resign If the directors make
any effort to block the deal
Joe Tinker meanwhile is credited
with q statement that he is still adj
verse to playing In the East. but as
soon as Charley Ebbets has a talk
with him Joe will change his mind.

He was born at Cornwall, England.
in 1885. AT the age of II he fol
lowed the rush to the gold fields of
Australia, the trip at that early day
consuming IS days in slow sailing
vessels. He joined the gold seekers
and went into the interior, where re-
ports indicated fabulous wealth. Min
ing laws were very restrictive and a
full claim in the early Australian
gold fields was but "a feet square.
Conditions were so oppressive that it
finally resulted in open rebellion on
the pant of the miners.
They fortified their camps with home

pipe. The pieces of pipe were plugged
at one end, and then loaded with pow

attempting to assault the miners
After seven years of life in the
Australian gold fields, Trebelcock gave
up the unequal contest and sailed for
the United States, where, in 1859, he
secured a position as boss over q gang
