Barons Retire Renfer

Renfer blanked the Barons in the
 first and second, but was driven from
 the mound in the third. Dilger led off
 with a single past third. Hardgrove flew out to Callahan, but Marcan sin
 gled to center. Red" Stewart provided
 the needed single to the sunfleld. King
 essayed to nip Dilger at the plate, but his peg carried wide of the rubber and both runners advanced an extra sack.
 Charlie Carrolls bingle to Callahan ushered Marcan home in easy fashion,
 but Stewart had an exciting sprint in reaching third. Hemingway received the throw and a fast relay to Lindsay downed Carroll at second. Knisely reached first on balls, for Renfer evil dently had healthy regard for his pinch hitting ability Covington singled to center and Stewart scored the tieing urn. The young twirler seemed to be losing his effectiveness, so MaEager Schwartz sent his best bet-Bernie
 Boland-to squelch the onslaught. And Bernie did, for Mcbride was retired on three furtile strikes at the speedy balls
 Encouraged by the success of the Baronial wrecking crew, Hardy did not allow hit in the next four things. In
 the fifth, Pete Knisely engineered the first triple steal of the season and the
 Barons assumed the lead.
 The Vols counted in the eighth anu again deadlocked the battle. Sloan doubled down the first base foul line and scored on Paulette's sacrifice and Gibsons fly to Knisely. But that eighth inning ralley by the Barons proved n
 knockout wollop to the Vol hopes.

HARVARD CREW FAVORITE
 IN ENGLISH CUP REGATTA

Heney-o England, July 2. The grand challenge cup. the "blue rib bon event of English rowing, will 50 abroad this year for the fifth time in nine years. America probably will be it's rest ing place for the ensuing year, after which 1t must be returned to the stew ards of the Henley regatta to be com peted for again.
 In the first series of heats for the grand challenge cup today the English crews were eliminated. The Harvard sec- ond eight disposed of Leander; the Union Boat club eight of Boston defeated the London Rowing club; Winnipeg had an easy victory over the Thames Rowing club, and the German crew of Mayence won from Jesus college. Cambridge, in the fastest time of the day.
 The four visiting crews will compete tomorrow in the second series and the winners will row the final Saturday. Har- ward will row Winnipeg and the Boston and Mayence eights will measure blades sss'.s...sss.s.s.ss-..s..... want the Evansville club n forward him to the majors immediately, hut SO far he has not been sold Both clubs offered bids for him at the meeting of the league mosuls in Fort Wayne Tuesday.
 The stocky southpaw is one of the lead ing pitchers in the Central league, where the Barons have two twirlers under op- tlonal agreements. Fittery has proved much better than Hank Gregory. but Ponder, the Texas league recruit, has lost but one game since his debut with the Grand Rapids club.
 Ffttery has had two trials with Bir- mingham. but failed to show the requisite ability. In 1915 he was placed with the Evansville club on an optional agreement and recalled but this spring ne was sold outright. As the result of the sale, the Barons will probably lose a neat sum. Flttery was sold for $100, but will prob- ably bring the Evansville club $2500.

Roland Posses Game Away

Roland was pitching in fine form. as he had yielded but one base on balls during the regime on the slab, and seemed invincible. But, in rapid success sion, he heaved four consecutive balls to Stewart, forcing Dilger in. His control continued on the wane when Carroll faced him. Three consecutive losses went astray. Then came a strike, but the fifth pitch was wild and Carroll walked, forcing Hardgrove to score.
 With the youngster bereft of control and the mighty Teuton at the bat, Mar can went out attempting to steal home, a la Knisely.
 Wobbling support behind Omar Hard grove gave the Vols an imminent lead in the first inning. Callahan, on a slow grounder to Ellam, outsped the peg to first. King sacrificed, but Carol fum- bled and both were endowed with safe ty. Sloan. whose heavy hitting was to give the Vols the next two tallies, sacrificed to Harlgrott. Paulette hit grounder to Marcan and slow fielding permitted Dave Callshan to register the first run. Gibson celebrated his re- turn to the game by walloping A Texas leaguer to right that sent King over the pan. Yale Sloan boosted the score to three in the third w<,eb1 his triple to center was followed by Paulettes sacrifice fly to KniSely.

MAJORS OFFER TO BUY PAUL FITTERY FROM EVANSVILLE TEAM


 A afternoon, the chances of the

The spitball heaver has shown good bit of speed, and it is known that he possesses every other requisite. Unless he experiences a decided reversal In con Sition, Roth will be offered Birming- lam contract.
 The management has received glowing reports about the big pitcher. One stated that Roth, with lame arm, is much bet ter than some now laboring in the South ern with two unimpaired members While there is a possibility of Roth failing to recover his oid-time stride. the chance of his rounding to form seem worth grasp

In nip and tuck struggle, Bir- mingham scored a second victory over Nashville. 6 to 1. Squirting onward With a two-run rally in the first. the Vols assumed a three-run lead in the third, but the Barons hammered Earl Renfer and deadlocked the battle in the same round. Bernie Roland. the pos sessor of variegated slants and curves, assumed the burden and twirled in su- perb form. The youngster was seized with wildness in the eighth inning, and presented the Barons the contest by forcing in two runs with bases on balls.
 The fight was replete with thrilling situations and contained many excit- ing episodes A triple steal with Knisely, Covington and Mcbride per- forming the larcenies, sent the attend ance into an ecstatic whoop in the fifth. for Knisely's daring theft of home sent the Barons to the fore. Mighty Yale Sloan, with a two-bagger to right in the eighth, tied the game and 1t seemed as though extra innings were imminent. But with two down in the eighth Fred Dilger inaugu- rated a move that won the melee.
 Hardgrove followed the opening hit with a grounder to deep short which Hemingway fumbled. Comedy took the boards at this juncture. Marcan hit a single to center field. Assuming his greatest speed in store Dilger rounded third base en route to the plate. A few yards from the third cushion, his feet became entangled with result ant flip upon the turf. Scrambling to his feet. the hefty receiver renewed his flight onward, but again he stum- bled and fell to the ground. During the acrobatic stunt between bags, Dave Callahan was enjoying a playful Yfum- ble with the pellet In center field. Just as Dilger scampered back to third base, his belated return was filed into the diamond. The oportunity to score seemed lost by Dilger's triple tumble but the unexpected happened.

travelled a thousand miles to take part
in the regatta, and the three crews

All the late arrivals had their shells
rigged before o'clock, and were on the
river. The Syracuse eight had morn

his English rigsed and English boated
Penn oarsmen a row over the course
at 10 o'clock, and Rice followed with
RAGS between his varsity and junior

overcame the handicap just as the
order was given to stop.

downstream in the afternoon. and then

The Nonpareils.

1t has been some days, or at least
several hours, since we have devoted
any previous space to a certain chosen
subject We apologize-and go to it
again.
For example, among the pitching
leaders of the two older leagues we
lamp such newyi arrived named as
label. Aitchison, Gentleman, Doak, PEN
mock. Wyckoff, and one or two others
well within the first ten.
But among this crop of new arrivals
we notice the names of two sedate, mid
dle-aSed citizens who have been there
FOR some time. These two have been
at work on the mound several years
longer than any other slabmen engaged
In gathering a living from the national
frenzy. They have been at IL for four
teen years, and at this writing were
still listed at the top of their respec-
tive circuits. Mathewson had won 0
and lost ?: Plank had won and lost l.
Which Is fair enough as pitching rec
ords go. Both are web ahead of their
marks at this date year ago. and it
will take n lot of good pitching to
crowd either out of the leagues leader
thip by the ides of October. Quite a lot.

Potomac Shells to Benefit by
instruction From Cornell
0arSman. -~.-.-
By KIRK c. MILLER.

While many a veteran of the sweeps
is expected to appear at the Potomac
Boat Club float within the next month
to participate in the development OF the
Red and White crews, probably the re-
turn of no man is looked forward to
with a feeling of actual benefit TO be
gained, as in the case of Brewer
Spransy, better known as Dick" Spran-
sy, who is this year stroking the Cor
nell varsity crew, which defeated Har-
ward on May d, and which crew is
pointed out as dangerous boat Tor
intercollegiate honors.
Spransy. who is now looked upon as
one of the finest pieces of rowing ma
terial ever turned out by Coach Court
ney. that famous Cornell tutor, Is dis
tinctly a Potomac Boat Club product,
and the oarsmen who make their head
quarters up under the Aqueduct bridge
point with pride to this fact, now that
Spransy had carried his string OF ath-
letic victories straight through his col
lego career. Half-dozen years ago,
when "Dick" was Technical High
School student. he made his hrst ap-
pearance in a shell bearing the Red and
acquitted himself in his usual style in
his early races. and throughout the
college races in which he
figured he carried this same, sure air
Oh determined
When Spransy left Washington for
Ithaca, he was not sure that he would
go out for the crews. Back of his de-
sire to be a good athlete he had a deeper
one to be a good student, and he in
tended to discount nothing in order to
realize the latter. When he got on the
ground, however. and learned that the
pursuance of his college course permit
ted time for this king of sports-rowfng
he was one of the most enthusiastic
candidates for a seat In the Cornell
freshman boats.
When the big regattas were raced In
the spring and summer of his first year
at Cornell. Spransy was found in one of
the. Ithaca shells which has made the
best showing. This fact alone is worthy
of moment of hesitancy for thought
when II is remembered that scores OF
young giants from all sections of the
country are out fighting for positions
in the first year at college. Spransy
withstood the test. He practiced in
the very earliest boats that were out
that spring, and as the candidates were
eliminated for places, he was found
not TO be lacking, and eventually he
