has made a state record for individual
baskets, with 25 goals to his credit.
His first year on the team he made
a record of % baskets and promptly
broke it this year. His great speed
and shooting ability have earned him
an euviable reputation throughout the
state and local fans claim that had
South Bend participated in the state
tournament Allen would have been
an all-state selection. VanDenBOsch,
his teammate, is playing his first year
on the squad, but will be claimed by
graduation. He is fast and heady.
Forster, the husky center, will bid
adieu to high school sports, after haV-
ing been a member of the football

are a number good enough to hold
their Jobs but what is most needed
are men of the type to develop into
Wagners and Speakers, CObbs and
Mathewsons in a few years.
The best youngster of the spring,
think. is Karl Won Kolnitz, the young
catcher picked up by Charlie HerZog
of the Reds. HerZog has sprung a
new idea. He also has corking man

Collins, with the Boston Nationals,
would be my second choice Of young

university man who, according to Dan
McGuigan is the best athlete that
ever came out of the south.
Stallings has more good material
than any of the others. He has Fred

from Seattle, all cOrking good major
league material.

Kenyon of Iowa introduced a resolu-

treaties, unless otherwise directed by
unanimous consent of the Senate.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules.
This was submitted with the back
ing of Senators La Toilette, Cummins,
Gronna, Borah Clapp, Jones, Bris-

OF
SHIPPERS FOR
DEFENDERS OF
AMERICAN CUP

New York, April 5.--That the hu
man element is to play very import
ant part in the coming preliminary
ard international races for the
Americas cup is indicated by the
care with which owners of challeng
ing and defending yachts have select
ed their shippers and the latter their
crews for the greatest yachting event
of a decade.
Sir Thomas Upton of the challeng-
ign Shamrock " and the New York
Yacht Club syndicate are apparently
firm believers in the ability of the
amateur skipper to develop the full
possibilities of his racing yacht. That
the professional sailor is equally COM
petent in this direction is. evidently
tie contention of the tri-city syndi-
cate and Alexander S. Cochrane, for
their selections are men who are the
logical successors of Charles Barr and
Hank Half, who made history in the
years of Americas cup racing.
Tho present alignment, which so far
as is known will be permanent, there
fore, calls for an even division of
honors between the amateur and pro-
fessional ranks of shippers.
Mr. Adams will face during the 40
odd preliminary races at least the
skill and daring Of two professional
helmsmen for the Defiance will be
sailed during many of these races by
Capt. s. B. Howell, while the Coch-
rane boat will be in charge of Capt
VIM s. Dennis. No hard and fast rule
can be made as to the shippers dur
ing the preliminary races, however,
for everyone of the contenders will
have several veteran shippers. eth
er amateur or professional, available
for 4 trick at the spokes.
The Resolute during the prelimi-
nary races in any event, will carry in
addition to Mr.. Adams and Manager
Robert w. Emmons II, representing
the New York Yacht Club syndicate.
several other amateurs, including
George A. Corrnack and George Mich
OILS, both of New York, and John Par
kinson. Jr.. of Boston. Capt Chris
Christensen will also be prominent
in the sailing of the yacht.
