C0LLECIANS ARE
RESTING FOR BIG
RACE TOMORROW
One Hundred and Twenty Oars
men In Fine Condition For
Annual Regatta.
FIFTEEN STURDY CREWS
READY FOR COMPETITION
Race Will Be Pulled Off Over
Hudson River Course In Pres
ence of Many Spectators.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June rs.
With months of hard training at
their back, 120 oarsmen are today idl-
ing or padding away the hours which
intervene before the call to the start
ing line for the Intercollegiate Re-
gatta to be held on the Hudson river
course tomorrow afternoon. Nothing
remains but the final instructions
from the coaches just before the fif-
teen crews step into their shells for
the slow pull up stream to the start
twenty-four hours hence.
Since early last autumn the crew
candidates have been working in
doors and out as weather permitted
and from the original squads averag-
ing close to $50 about thirty oarsmen
have survived the gruelling months of
training and today have won seats in
either the varsity, junior or freshman
eight Dared shells. Tomorrow will
come the supreme test with the ma
tional university rowing champion
ship at stake in the three races that
form the program of the Twentieth
Annual Regatta of the Intercollegiate
Rowing association.
Coaches and crews alike, while con-
fdent predict a close contest in each
event and if the weather and water
conditions are favorable new records
for the course are not unlikely
Coach Rice Of the Columbia crews has
predicted that the stellar race-the
varsity four mile-lies between Cor
nell and Columbia but shrewd river
men and the other coaches do not en-
tirely agree with this foreword. Ter
Eyck of Syracuse and Conibear OF
Washington both figure their varsity
Fights have an excellent chance in the
big event while Nichalls of Pennsyl
vania and Vail of Wisconsin are con.
fident that their rowing men are go.
ing to give the wash of their shells
to several of the Fights at the finish
of the long race.
There is reason for this quiet con.
fdence since several of the varsity
Fights have shown we'll in preliminary
races this season and include many Of
the oarsmen who swung sweeps in the
race of 1913. Cornell has defeated
Harvard, Princeton and Yale this
spring; Columbia, Princeton and Stan
ford; and Pennsylvania, under the
coaching of Vivian Nichalls, the Eng.
fish instructor, defeated the strong
United States Naval Academy crew
Wisconsin and Syracuse are the only
crews that have not had prelimin
airy test against one or more college
Fights during the present season. This
omission, however, has not dampene(
the ardor of their supporters who ex
pect them to row up to the STANDARD
of the more experienced crews.
With the exception of Columbia
which has boated light crews this
year the Fights of all the universities
average up we'll in point of weight
height and age.

Backing In Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 23-Jack Johnson
will have plenty of betting support
from his own race when he steps into
the ring at Paris on Saturday to de-
fend his title against Frank Moran,
the white challenger from Pittsburgh.
A visit to the ''Black Belt," on the
south side, yesterday showed that the
colored people will back Johnson to
win at odds of 2 to l.
AS friend Of Johnson explained,
Jack is the only heavyweight cham
pion ever developed by the negro race
and there may not be another for a
long time to come. In most of the
sporting headquarters, especially
where the gambling element congre-
gate, the main topic of conversation is
the probable result of the fight.
eve all know Jack made a fool
of himself and has done many things
to cause prejudice against our race,
but we are going to Stick by him in
this fight" said one of the sporting
fraternity. "He has made a lot Of
money for US in wagers and we be-
ieve him to be a good enough stake
horse to place little bet on in this
fight. Jack has tipped off some Of his
friends in Chicago to play him strong.
The tip has gone the rounds and if
Jack loses, the belt will be broke"

BOY 10 YEARS OLD
KILLS BABY SISTER
WHEN GUN GOES OFF

MOOSE LAKE, Mimi, June 25.--
Axel Hammarstrom, Jr., lO-year old
son of Axel Hammarstrom, pros
porous farmer residing five miles west
of Moose Lake, accidentally discharg-
ed shotgun yesterday, instantly kill
ing his baby sister, Evelyn, aged 2
years.
The gun belonged to the boys ia
Their and had been hanging on the
kitchen wall loaded for use when
chicken hawks should become trouble
some. In preparing to repaper the
room, the gun was taken down.
In his play the boy picked it up
and while attempting to clean it, ac-
cidentally discharged the piece. The
shot passed through the baby's head,
causing instant death.

A Good Decision.

Yesterdays decision in the Marsans
case in the federal court at St. Paul
appears to have been one Of those
rarely satisfactory verdicts in that it
suited both sides. Ban Johnson says
it. sounds the funeral march for the
Federal league, while Gilmore of the
Feds is all chirked up and says that
the decisions won't hurt the Federals
any more than the puny thrust of a
young mosquito hurts the hide of a
bull alligator-or words to that ef-
feet.
Mr.. Gilmore speaks Of his journey
to the higher courts and Of his conf
dence of ultimate victory. He is keep
ing a deep, dark secret the corner
stone of his edifice of faith in the de-
cision of the higher court, but in these
moist, steamy days of June it is high
ly pleasing to see good, spirited liti-
cation proceeding with both sides SO
clipper and full of hope. That is the
stuff of which good lawsuits-and fat
fees for the. attorneys-are consti-
tuted.

PIRATES TRYING
TO SELL O'TOOLE
TO ANOTHER TEAM

PITTSBURGH, June 25.-The
days of Marty O'Toole as men,
Der of the Pittsburgh team are
numbered, and it will not be sur
prising if a deal is closed soon
that will send the once-prominent
pitcher to another club. The at
tempt of the Pirate management
to obtain waivers on O'Toole fail
ed, but that is not likely to alter
the decision of the Pittsburgh Of
ficials to get rid of the hurler who
cost $22,5OO. ''O'Toole will re-
main with Pittsburgh for the pres
ent," said Dreyfuss Tuesday, who
stated that if waivers are not OBJ
tanned, Marty will be transferred
to one of the teams claiming him.

Baseball WallOped.

The commissioners have decided
that baseball shall not be included in
the list of Olympic sports at Berlin or
hereafter. It seems that six nations
have to be competitors or play game
before it becomes what can be term
ed an Olympic game.
Mr.. Jeems Sullivan did his best to
have the national sin recognized, but
the bone-headed foreign contingent
was set for his fast one and busted it
outside the foul line.
All of which will bring sorrow to
Father Spalding, Father Reach and
Father Goldsmith, purveyors extra
ordinary of bats, balls, masks, shin
pads and other paraphernalia of our
leading summer sport.

Players Fraternity one by one and
discussing them thoroughly, the Ma
tional Baseball Commission and the
committee from the National Associa.
tion OF Minor Leagues adjourned last
night, ready to present a solid front
when the committee of players pre-
sent their case today.
No announcement of what demands
had been conceded or denied was is
sued but on good authority it was
stated that no more than four of the
demands win cause any friction at
todays meeting
Probably the most important an
lnounccment was that the meeting to-
day would be an open one, both pub
Tic and press being admitted. This
was not decided upon until just pre-
yious to the adjournment of the Joint
meeting of the commission and the
committee from the minors, but in the
minds of many it augurs well for the
! players
II was announced previous to the
joint meeting that the only request
the minor leagues objected to was the
one that asks that 10 days notice be
given players after release.
There are several however. that
the majors do not take kindly to. but
Just what these are the major league
