YALE May LOSE
ROWING COACH
Guy NichaIIs May Join Volunteers
and GO to European War

New Haven Conn, Sept. 15.-Fear is
felt that Yale may lack the services OF
Guy Nickalls, its crew coach, at least
during the fall months. Nlckalls is un-
derstood to be likely to be in the Eu-
ropean war as a member OF one OF the
English volunteer army corps and IL is
not believed that the war will be set
tied in time for him to return to this
country for the fall rowing which be-
gins oct. l.
Nickalls agreed about five weeks ago
TO return TO this country to direct Yale
come to Yale this fail, the rowing COM
mittee will probably select Coach Gil
annini to instruct the crew Giannlni
had charge OF the freshmen last year
and has accepted an invitation to re-
turn to Yale another season.
Nickalls is said to be the highest
paid director of any American college
sport. The English rowing expert is
reported getting salary of $4,000 and
he can live in London about six months
each year.
In case OF the continuance OF the
war throughout the year, il is hardly
expected that Nickals will be able to
keep his agreement to come to Yale
and coach the crews and the same is
expected to prove true of his brother.
Vivian Nickalls, the University of
Pennsylvania coach. The successes of
the crews coached by these masters Of
rowing in the New London and Pouhg-
keepsie re9attas were the sensations OF
the rowing season OF 1913, and their
absence from this country during 1914
would prove a distinct handicap and
damper on the quality Of the rowing
next spring.

PENN's eRIDIRoN HERCULES.
Strong Man Dorizas May Be Terror
With Piuskin,

Philadelphia, Sept. 15.-The Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania football. coaches
have undertaken the job Of manufac-
turing football player. and the sport
ing world awaits the result Of the ex-
pertinent with great interest.
Mike Dorizas, the young Greek Her
cules, is the subject of which the Penn
coaches are endeavoring to work out
IA theory. Dorizas, as is well known, is
the strongest man that ever matricu-
lated in an American college. With ut
most ease this wonderful youngster
from classic Athens has smashed the
intercollegiate strength ;est record
again and again, adding hundreds OF
points to the standard set by the Har-
ward athletes, who formerly were the
champion strong men Of the American
colleges.
The ability OF Dorizas is not all brute
strength. He can learn the "knack'
OF any particular stunt that he tries
with great handness. He is an ex-
pert javelin thrower and with but "a
few months teaching Dorizas landed
among the first five in the intercol-
legiate shot-put championship. The
experts are unanimous in the opinion
that with another years experience
Dorizas will do forty seven feet or
better with the sixteen pound shot.
1t is at wrestling that the Greek has
shown most brilliantly. Here his great
natural strength and his quickness
make him invincible. Last winter he
won the heavyweight intercollegiate
championship, throwing each and
every one of the men who faced him
in less than two minutes each.
The Penn coaches have been busy
for long time and, If their efforts
have been successful, Pennsylvania
hopes to have one OF the greatest line
men in the history OF the game this
fall. Those who have seen Dorizas'
tremendous strength demonstrated on
Tie gymnasium machines and his cat
like quickness and irresistible power
on the mat, can we'll picture the Greek
Hercules as "a demon on the gridiron.

RING NO PLACE
FOR FAIR SEX
English Periodical Laments That
Women Can Attend Bouts

England has not yet done with dis
cussion Of the Carpenter bout.
Even some OF the periodicals devoted
TO subjects far removed from the world
OF boxing have had something TO say
of il.
The Saturday Review in a recent is
sue devotes a leader To a lament that
women are beginning To watch prize
ring battles. II declares that even the
antics OF the miltants are scarcely less
repellent or less degrading" and as
serts that a woman's mind is not
capable Of grasping the fine points Of
IA boxing match.
The presence OF women at these
great contests is perhaps the most OBJ
jectionable feature of the craze" says
the Review.
ut is n fashion borrowed from
France. where the youth and handsome
face Of Carpenter have inspired all the
idle sensation hungry women OF Paris

Of Nero's Rome sighed In their bore

is not Carpenters fault; he is busi-
nesslike young fellow who likes his art
and has "A keen eye for profit, but lit
tie appetite, apparently. for fame.
'lIe takes his lionizing, on the whole,
quite calmly and sensibly But it is
to he regretted that he has given his
support TO the view that women are
justified in claiming their latest 'privi-
lege,' and it is n pity that his good
looks have tempted so many of our fe-
males, as we'll as those of France, to
a new folly.
Breaking Of ribs, as Touchstone
said, is no sport for ladies, and boxing,
watched without understanding. as
women must watch it, can satisfy only
a craving for excitement such as a
bullhcht spectator demands.
The skin. the art of the thing, is
lost on these intruders. Their minds
react only To the crudcr sensations
They see, not two consummatc masters
Of fine craft. but two half nude men
for mastery. They are there
to see what no true boxer goes to see

Offer of $4,000 to Drew Shows Revived
interest

New York Sept. 15.-Another indi-
cation that all it's not gloom in Eng
land because OF the war may be found
In the report that Howard Drew. the
colored sprinter. has been offered the
sum OF $4,000 to run one race in that
country as "A professional. The Spring
field boy is said to have refused this
tempting offer and expressed his in
tentlon OF remaining permanently in
the amateur ranks. This big offer TO
Drew was made. according To the re-
sports promoter. who said he consid-
cred the colored runners name worth
that sum as n drawing card
Such an offer only goes to prove
that despite the war athletics are still
very much alive i'm England and that
those in close touch with the situation
are confident that the war will have
little effect on sport. The promoters
must necessarily have planned for an
immense crowd when they could afford
to make Drew such a splendid offer.
II was feared at first by American
athletes that Drew might accept this
offer, as he has had considerable
trouble lately with the Amateur Ath-
letic union, but Drew says that he
would not go in for professionalism ut
any price.

FORCE GROWTH OF PEARLS
Japanese Have Ingenious Process to
Accelerate the Production of
Coveted Gems.

The growing scarcity of perfect.
pearls has induced the Japanese at
many of their pearl fisheries to adopt
a somewhat novel plan, which, if it
succeeds, should tend to increase
enormously the worlds pearl output.
Pearls are formed by little grains.
of sand and other substances which
| get into the oysters shell and are a
source of irritation to the little ami
NAL inside. He cannot turn out the
intruding substance, so proceeds to
cover it up with layers of lining ma
terial, until at length the object is
incased and a round or pear-shaped
pearl is formed.
The japanese are trying the fore
ible introduction of foreign sub
stances into the oyster shells. They
place live oysters before a fire, the
heat Of which induces them to slight
ly open their jaws; then very tiny
piece of wood is inserted with little
carbonate Of lime. They are then
placed once more in the oyster beds,
and it is calculated that in about
twelve months the oyster will make
pearl out of the substance intro
duced.
The result of the experiment is
awaited with keen interest, as, owing
to their comparative scarcity, pearls
are now among the most valuable of
precious stones, very large sums be-
ing paid for especially fine pear
shaped pearls.
