CREW MATERIAL AT

An early diagnosis of the trou le under which rowing is laboring at Yale has disclosed the fact that the men in the boats during the last few years have been too light

An Illustration of the type of earsmen sought for the waist of the shell is seen in Bill Rooss the inter collegiate champion strong m an, and aMfke,, Madden, the football guard Each weighs about 1908 pounds and has great strength and endurance. These two men have been captured and are now busy in the in- door tank and ct machine work

Santa Monica, Feb. 27.-By driving 2s4 miles over the Santa Monica, course yesterday at an average speed of 75.6 miles an hour, Ralph De Palma, in a Mercedes car, won the ninth Wander ibiIt cup race and established a new record tor that aBrtonobiie classic. The old record Of TAT miles an hour was made Ry Ralph M9Ilford in a. Lozier at Savannah in 1911.
 De Paana's time for the race was 3h. 53m. As. Close behind De Palma was Barney OIdf1eld, who took second place with a. Mercer. His time was 3h 55m. 01s.
 w H. Carlson, in a Mason, was third. and Earl Cooper, in a, Stutz. fn- ished fourth.
 Sixteen cars started in the race and only five finished, but from the 18th lap to the finish it was a contest sole ly between De Palma and O1dfeld. De Palma won because he did not have to stop once in all the 35 laps of the course OldfleId Forfeited what chance he had when he was compelled to stop and change a wheel on his 34tn lap and lost nearly a. minute

Atteanpted Suicide.

Eugene DeWerdht, gardener for nnerly employed at the Greenwich Country club, attempted to end his fife Tuesday afternoon by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. He went upstairs and, pointing the re- volver at his head, pulled the trigger. The bullet entered just above the right eye It is believed to have lodged somewhere near the temple. Tn order to make death sure, he pulled the trigger the second time, but the shell failed to explode. His wife and other members of the household heard the shot and ran upstairs. They found him bleeding prcfusely. The physi- cisns believe that he 4il recover. It is said that he had been out of work for several weeks A few days ago, another gardener was given his old position at the Country club. and since that time he has been Respondent

BON TONS BOUNCE.
 JOY BALL AT PARK
Cleverest Aggregation Since Behman Show Takes
 Town by storm. '

A sea of laughs capped by joyous hysteria. is the true-to-nat ture bur 1esque production of My Wixes Hus- band, presented by Bert Baker and last night. If the crowded houses which resulted from the announcement Of ths show yesterday is not followed by capacity during the balance of the week then the rule of reason has been displaced.
 Jack London has had his say about the Bon Ton Girls, and that his per- |ception of class inclIbated hilarityj and eferyescent joy-bubb1es is not aniss is the verdict of the lover of the real in this city, Perhaps it was the Bon Ton Girls that David Belasco saw when he made his recent statements upon the. future of this class of thea tricals.
 The music though not the latest, is put acrosss with voices and manner tsms which charm The dialogue is snappy and the principals have that beauty and ease which shows not only dramatic training but versatility and activity worthy of productions receiv- ing far greater consideration in metro. pelitan centers.
 That cherubic soubrette, Babe La Tour, bubbles with the vivacityi of youth and infects with the germ of jo1Iify and nnerriment Bert Baker is not only the originator of a book which gives material for all to share equally but through inherent art opens the way to avenues of pleasure which even the charm Of feminine beauty and grace could not overcome There is a chorus, many of whose members eclipse the average principal seen on the Columbia circuit. An aggregation of eccentric dancers, acrobats and gen- era1 speciality artists, afford a bill of vaudeville above that often seen in variety houses. Special mention is de-. served by Michey FeeIey and Mabel McCloud, who perform a Barbary Coast dance with a speed, agility and eccentricity unconnnon here Had con |stitutions permitted they would un- doubtedly have stopped the show. The voice of Hazel Crosby, who later with Paul Allen. sang a duet, was a mark |ed feature o1s this performance In fact, every. member of the company He'd the microbe of pleasure that is gerninated in the Bon Ton company The only discordant note, and that well portrayed by the performer. was the character Of A1kaH Ike which is not in harmony with the general scheme, though if lends contrast. There seemed to be no legitimate reason for the introduction of the wild west into. such a harmony of elegance.
 There is nothing too good to be said. for the Bon Ton aggregation of clev- ernes which should top the gate re- ceipts of any production yet seen in the bur1esque world Of Bridgeport.

JOHNNY DUNDEE IS
 VISITOR IN BOUT
 WITH PAL MOORE

Pal Moore Of Phaladelpflias once rated as one of the cIeverest boxers in the game, made his appearance in New York last night at the National Sporting Club after an absence of more than a year and proved a rather easy victim for Johnny Dundee over the ten-round route.
 The card drew a crowd which filled the West Forty-fourth Street cll1b- house for the first time since the club was reopened several weeks ago.
 Dundee conceded eight pounds to his opponent, the ringside weighing, showing the Italian boxer at 12371 pounds and Moore 131 A pounds
 Dundee's footwork and his ds1cking were in evideraee at every stage and Moore wasted more swings in the air than he landed on his opponent. Tn the second round Moore missed so many by several inches that the crowd began to taunt him for his failures. Although on the losing end all the .way. Moore was always trying hard. It was his first bout in seven months and this undoubtedly had sonnethfng to do with his poor showing

 'sHdr. McCarey of Los Angeles, has submitted articles for a match with williams which are satisfactory and I expect that we will get together be- fore next fall I had x-ray5 pictures taken of my fractured right hand and they show that the bones were jam- med worse than the doctors thought it.

The SinnGtt contest showed me that I need actual work to per- feet my judge Of distance. Otherwise my condition is great. and just as soon as can get into proper train And if he can show that he is a bet ter man than I am, why he is vel come to the title. but until that time Little Johnny will wear the belt. 7.
 Prom the above 1t is evident that Cou1on and Williams will really meet and decide the bantam weight title, but from the drift Of things now it is not likely they will get together for at least three or four months E

 Tommy Downey is said to have re- ceived a check for $1.o0o as an in ducemenL to sign a Federal league contract. The check has been seen by some of the local boys friends. No wonder he wants to play in Buff falo. The money probably win be counted as part of his salary in ad- vance.
