it may be inferred that the rowing season
is progressing nicely
jim Wray the Harvard coach has been
working overtime at Cambridge. trying to
pick a winning combination from the large
number OF candidates he has on hand. This
week but two of last years crews have
had places in the varsity boat, hut It is
bit early to predict that Wray will not use
more of the experienced Oarsmen in the big
races.
There are now II crews practicing at
Cambridge. including the club crews. OF
these eight boats are filled with freshmen.
At Princeton DR.. Speath has squad of
p varsity candidates and as many fresh
men at work. So many changes from the
first TO second boats and shifts within the
boats have taken place that any lneups at
present are necessarily tentative. DR.. Speath
says:
4 have been greatly favored up to the
present time with fine weather and some
very good work has been done. Time trials
will be held during the Easter holidays and
a preliminary first varsity boat will in all
probability be picked. A new shell is eX-
pected to arrive within the next few days.

vantage of it..
French WIZ Learn.
Such a scene occurred at the conclu-
sion of a match between Joe jeanette
and Georges Carpenter, but luckily no
harm was done. The fans thought Uhal
Carpenter should have been awarded
the decision just because he made a
great finish in the last round. II IS
true the Frenchman put up d Splendld
fight for the first six or seven ROUNDS,
but after that jeanette beat him ana
there was nothing to it except the nm
ish Carpenter made in the 10th rOunq.
They forgot all about the good work
jeanette did through the greater part
of the fight and could only think OF the
one EnOckdOWn their champion scored
and his strong finish. However, the
Frenchmen like the boxing game and
no doubt in time viii become just as
expert in Judging a boxing contest as
anv other nation and at the same time
they viii probably learn to better
Judge the ability of boxers throughout
q contest.
Mccoy Has Had Over GO Battles.
Al Mccoy, the young Brooklyn light
weight, who gained fame in boxing
circles by knocking out George CHIP
last week in one 8und, is not the
novice at the game that some people
imagine. Mccoy is only 20 years OF
age having been born at Burleigh, n;
j. in 1894, but since 1910 he has had
over 60 battles In many of them no
decision appears, while several nave
been over the knockout route Mccoy
started out as lightweight and de-
velOped into q WeIterWeight in 1872,
meeting a number Of good boys, among
them Young Erne, Bill Fleming and
Gus Christie. It is only during the
past year that Mccoy has taken on
weight and is now cl1ssed as a middle
weight, although he doBs not scale over
152 pounds. He has been meeting the
best boys around the east and recently
fought Mike Gibbons 10 rounds in
Brooklyn He is what would be termed
an awkward fighter, because he stands
with his right foot forward, the same
as Knockout Brown. of New York, but
being naturally left handed, he has
the driving power in mis- south wing,
which other fighters naturally have in
their right hand Mccoy has agreed
to give Chip another chance and il re-
mains to be seen whether he viii be
able to repeat on Chip the way Chip
repeated on Frank Klaus.
Has No Right to Title.
As to claiming the niddleWeight
championship, Mccoy has no right to
the title, although he must be cOnsid-
cred as a contender how, the same as
Chip was. Jimmy Clabby and Eddie
considered as the most legitimate con-
tenders and Mccoy viii have to mix
with shat trio before he can get into
the championship class As McGoorty
and Clabby are both out of the country
at thep resent time, ii is up to Dillon
and Mccoy to get together, so that the
winner may get after McGOorty and
Clabby and thus settle a very mixed
question.

of the Game. 9

Everything is In readiness for the
game between the Cairo X. I. r.
league team and the Centralia
White SoX at the local grounds this
Afternoon, and a large crowd of en-
thusiastic rooters is expected to be
on hand when the game starts at
2;45. Manager Herbert will use
the lineup with which he expects to
, start the league season at Paducah
next Friday, and this win be the
first real opportunity the Cairo fans
have had TO see the regular league
team in action.
OF course 1T is too much to say
that the lineup which Manager Her
bert presents today will he the one
to represent this city for the entire
season, as accidents and unforeseen
occurrences are always to be allow
ed for in baseball However, the
league team, SO far as can he told
at this time, will be in action today
in its entirety and each player will
play in his regular position.
Manager Herbert expects to make
a good showing this season, al
though he is too conservative to lay
any claims TO the pennant before
the season starts. lie is reasonably
satisfied with his club as it is FOR
the start of the season, but is frank
enough to admit that Cairo should
not expect wonders from the begin
ming. He says the fact that his
team has not been accustomed to
playing together and that 1t is not
in midseasou form should be taken
into account by the fans and that
If the first showing is not all that
it might be hoped for, no one need

carefully toward the mouse, which
lost its head and retreated to the 9th

For n few moments confusion reigned

inquired Nora in tone which implied
that he was stealing her little pet.
