EXPECTS
BULLDOG TO REGAIN
ROWING PRESTIGE

Ithaca, y. y. Jan. l4.-That Yale
should regain some OF her former pres
tigc in acquatics if she goes back to
the Bob Cook stroke, is the opinion
of Charles l.. Courtney. Cornell's
rowing coach. who says that in the
old days the Bob Cook stroke rowed
by Yale was good one and that Yale
won many victories with it, He thinks
that in Armstrong, Giannini and
Nickalls Yale has trio of capable
instructors who should do big things
for the blue crews.
Courtney. however ridiculcd the
claims made at New Eavcn that he,
Courtney, got some Of his ideas for
the Cornell stroke from Cook, or that
any Of the Cook rowing principles are
Incorporated in the Cornell stroke.
"You may say for me- he said,
that the Cornell stroke was thought
out and worked out here with Cornell.
that it evolved from the experience of
Cornell crews and that it got nothing
from the stroke of any other univer-
sity."

CAPT. BURTON'S
GREAT RECORD
Something About the Man Who
Will Pilot the Shamrock

London, Jan. 14.-Now that a start
has been made with the actual build
ing of Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger
for the forthcoming contest for the
Americas cup. it may DC taken for
granted that interest will quicken and
extend in the whole matter every day.
Already there is reason to believe that
there will be as much interest engen-
dered over this contest as there was
over any previous one. For one thing.
the South OF England is i'm some ways
the greatest yachting center in the
world, and the fact that the building
Of our challenger has once more been
entrusted To a south of England firm,
To Il south of England man moreover,
who is at present enjoying a great and
well-won reputation. is bound 70
make an irresistible appeal i'm that
most powerful quarter.
The determination, again, To try to
recover the cup at this time with the
aid of a Corinthian steersman, has
fairly captured the popular imagina-
ton and it is safe To say no knight
cf the greatest days of chivalry ever
took more good wishes into the lists
with him than will accompany w. y.
Burton across the western ocean when
lie goes to do his devoir for Sir Thorn
as Lipton-and for Britain.

as many people will wish between
now and next autumn to know i'm at
least summary form what our chos-

his racing and prize winning; prepar-

not remember the financial ruin that
resulted from the memorable attack
upon organized baseball in the broth
crhood movement of 1890, 4. G.. Spaid-
ing was asked today to say something
about the present embarrassment of
the national game.
The brotherhood war involved a
loss OF more than 100000" said Mr.
Spalding, and both sides suffered
about equally. There was not a stock
holder in any of the National league
or Players league clubs who did not
lose money.
The brotherhood took practically
all the National league players away
from their old employees. who were
left with grounds and had To ind new

the standing of the clubs. In due
time the games in both circuits were
played To empty benches, and at the

players We're ready L surrender.
THE National league stood practi-

league. led by Gov. John TCner. will

star players.
In June, 1880, the New York Ma
tional league club had been driven to
the wall 10y the brotherhood, and the
other club owners were called upon to
put up $4,000 to prevent the Giants

New York club over rather than have
a big hole in our circuit. That was
nearly twenty-five years ago, when
baseball wasn't conducted on the big
scale of the present day.
u read the other day that the Fed
eral league had sl0,000.00O with which
To fight the two major leagues. In
January S10000,0O0 is equal To about
100000 in July. inexperienced men
who are ready to furnish money to
start this movement have been told
of the future in glowing terms. but
when the time comes To pay salaries
and other expenses in June, with gate
receipts dwindlng. they may find that
they have been deceived"
