ENGLAND THE FAvoRITE.
In Coming International Meet At
 Franklin Field.

England's chances of defeating America in the first international con- test of 1914 will be unusually good when the Oxford University four mile relay team competes at the Un- iversity of Pennsylvania meet at Franklin Field April 20. According to the present plan the Oxford quartet will consist of four runners who, when considered as a. team, are not equa1led in the collegiate world today. Ar mold N S. Jackson, winner of the 1,500 metre race at the Olympic Games of 1912, will captain the team His first lieutenant will be Norman s. Ia bor, Rhodes scholar from Brown Uni versity, winner of the 1913 A. A. U. mile championship and a number of Sproule, captain of the Oxford cross country team and Rhodes scholar from Australia, will be third man, while Basil Rudd of South Africa, all so 8 holder of a Rhodes scholarship, will complete the teAm.
 It thus happens that by a peculiar co-incident Oxford has quartet corners of the world, every one of which can run a mile in four minutes twenty seconds or better. All have figured prominently in the fall spor. $ of the English university and because of their varied experience in national ana lnlernatloIdl coIlpeutioH, VIII form most formidable team. both from the point of time and steadiness. Jackson and Tabor have repeatedly run the mile between 4.15 and 4.20 and are excellent judges of pace and squirt. Rudd was originally a one half miller, with a record of 1.56. but has shown the speed and endurance necessary for mile in the longer tri- als. Sproule is a long distance winner for whom the mile is an easy run and he possesses a burst of speed at the finish that makes him appear like a sprinter in the final one hundred yards. On a. fast, dry track, this team ac- cording to English experts, should run the four miles with out heart breaking effort inside seventeen minutes thirty seconds. Judging from the past rec ords of the men they should be able to cut fifteen seconds off these figures if pushed hard

Baras Used in 1929.

The Oxford University Boat club has regained possession Of the rowing barge in which the Oxford crew of 1929 rowed and won the fret inter varsity race against Cambridge Uni- versity on the Thames river near Lon don on June 10. 1929. The boat which Is 45 feet long and 4 feet 4 inches wide at the middle, is constructed of nine streak or lap boards. a keel and 8 gunwale long plank runs the length of the centre of the boat, and the thwarts are supported py single upright iron stays. The heavier ma terial is spruce, the smaller ribs ash. and the main tirnbeYs oak. The thoEl pins are narrow and the oarSmen sat at the extreme opposite end of the seat in rowing.
 The boat was used for a number of succeeding races and some ten years later was stored in an old boathouse at Oxford as unfit for further use. In 1s41 Sir Robert Menzies, then a stu dent and oarsmen at Oxford, pur- chased the boat and had it shipped to 1och Hammock There the historic grandfather of all racing shells re- mained until his death, when 1t was sold with other relics of Castle Men zies. Thus after seventy years the primitive racing craft has returned to the scene of it's earlier triumphs and history making.

1 secrecy surrounds the plans and build l ing of Shamrock ", American yachts men with English connections are se- 1 curing various items of information which, taken in the aggregate, indicate l that Sir Thomas Lipton's cup chal- 1 lenger will be the last word in Euro l peen yacht building. Designer Charles l Nicholson appears to have broken the l shackles of English tradition and con 1 servatism. with the result that there Is building at Grosport 75 foot rac- lug craft embodying so many radical departures from the conventional type that the average English gentleman skipper is aghast.
 General Attitude Disreaarded. While neither Sir Thomas nor Nich- olson will affirm or deny the reports relative to the structural details, 1t Is generally accepted both here and abroad that Shamrock ". will prove a most formidable challenger when ready for the starting gun in the first race of the international regatta on Sept. 10. The belief is borne out by re- cent optimistic statements attributed to both the owner and the designer. It is known that Sir Thomas laid the result of his observation and experi- ence in his previous attempts to lift the Americas cup before Nicholson and it was decided that in order to win, it would be necessary to build

 Tremendous Sail Area.
 That this policy IS being carried out to the letter is apparent from the oc- casional fragments of information that enanate from Grosport despite the rigid rule of secrecy that prevails con- corning the building Of the cup chaI- lenger When pieced together they would appear to indicate that Sham rock ". will be of abnormal type, with lead keel of approximately sixty tons, extraordinary overhang. centerboard, and tremendous spread of canvas. The mast, which may or may not be of "Marconi" type, will be the longest ever stepped in a. cup challenger, length of water line considered, and capable of carrying many thousand square feet of sail area.
 The yacht will be launched early in April, according. to the present sched- ule, and will be in racing trim by May With w. P. Burton in charge and Cap tain Gould as skipper, a series of pre- liminary trials will be sailed against the present Shamrock in Tor Bay. on the coast of Devonshire. The regatta committee of Torway will offer special prizes for these tuning up races, which will be sailed under the conditions pre- vailing in Americas cup contests. Aft CT these trials Shamrock ". will be put under jury rig and the long trans Atlantic voyage begun. Under favor able conditions the challenger should be reported in American waters late in June with two months at the dis posal of the challenging yacht owner and skipper for the final preparations for the blue ribbon sea classic of 1914

BOTH SIDES EXPRESS CONFIDENCE Ban Johnson Says Federas Will Give Up Ghost Shortly
 Several Towns Unprepared-Joe Tinker Has Busy
 Day

Chicago. Jan, 1s-Developments to-
 day in the newest baseball war left 1 both sides-the aggressive outlaws ot the Federal league and Organized bau'-confident of success. Predictions 1 that the new league would give up the | ghost in a short time were made by President Johnson of the American league and President Murphy of the Chicago Nationals.
 Lack of preparation in g. number of towns, although the opening of the l season is less than three months away, | was given as leading reason by those l who expect the Federals' end soon Meantime at the headquarters of the Federal leogue there was a busy scene I all day. According to Joe Tinker, manager of the Chicago Federals, there are forty ball players in town and most of them were up here today" as one of them put it after watching the crowd in Gilmore's office. Among the visitors already Russell Ford and Ed Sweeney, the New York Americans battery both of whom were closeted with Tinker and President Weeghman of the local club for some time. Whether either or both of them had signed contracts with the Fed erals was not announced. Howard Can1nitz, the former Pittsburgh pitcher traded to the Philadelphia Nationals, had private discussion with Doe Gessler, the Pittsburgh manager.
 Despite reports that Killifer of the Philadelphia Nationals and Kirkpatrick of Brooklyn had not signed with the Federals, President Gilmore this after noon exhibited contracts signed by these men.
 A total of thirty three major league players have signed with the league, he said. eight of them having joined the new organization since Saturday.
 Inf1elder Mccarthy of Pittsburgh was a caller at the office early this eve Pzur S1 T11S Chouinard, formerly of the Chicago Americans, and later with Des MoineS also consulted with the Federal leaguers and intimated that he would sign with them.
 William Brennan, National league umpire, this afternoon signed a three year contract with the Federals. Just before he signed he received a tele- gram notifying him that 3. new con- tract with the National league had ar rived at his home in St. Paul. Seven more urnpires of high, .class are on their way here to talk with Federal leaders, Gilmore said
 Weeghman repeated today that he would stand by the new league, de- claring that since the stormy meeting of Saturday he. was sure it would be 8 success. In this connection Presi- dent Murphy claimed to have infor- nation that Weegham's protest at the meeting against carrying three clubs" resulted in a verbal attack on him that ''created wounds that cannot be heal ed.''
