Looping of Minute Off Time
Made at Poughkeepsie
Puts Courtney Crew
on Par with Blue.

The action Of the BOARD Of stewards
OF the intercollegiate Rowing Associa
tion in looping a full minute Oft the
times of the crews in the varsity race
in the Poughkeepsie regatta puts the
Cornell oarsmen practically on a par
with the championship Yale eight over
the four-mile journey if the records
compiled by such experts as Charles +.
Courtney, Ellis Ward, the old Pennsyl-
vania coach, and DR.. Walter b. Peet,
the old Columbia coach, are a criterion.
They say the Plough keepsie course is
IS seconds 10 the mile faster than the
one at New London rowed down
stream, and IS seconds faster than
New London rowed upstream.
The approximate measure OF differ
ence between these two four-mile row.
ing courses is a subject that has
caused much comment among the mex
pert, as well as the expert. No one is
better able to state an opinion than
the three veterans named, each Of
whom has had sufficient experience in
coaching crews over the Thames and
Hudson courses, to qualify them to
speak with authority. Courtney and
Ward each have coached almost as
many crews at New London as at
Poughkeepsie, while DR.. Peet rowed
over the New London course before
coaching there and then coached for
several years at Poughkeepsie.

he batted 1856, and was IN every way

the plan to have more than two OF
these courts in action at the same time.
The officials of the national assocla-
ton decided that nothing other than
season tickets will be open for sub

WILLIAMS DEFENDS
HIS EASTERN TEAM
Says He Is Confident of Victory
Over California Lawn
Tennis Players.

While there has been some adverse
criticism of the makeup of the East
ern lawn tennis team now in Cali
fornia to play the pick of the Pacific
Coast players, Richard Norris Will
Jams, I'd, national champion, and cap
tain Of the team, believes the Eastern
men will make far better showing
than most persons believe possible.
Robert D. Wrenn, president of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association, received a letter from
Williams recently, in which the ma
tional champion wrote in confident vein
of the chances Of his team against Nc
Loughlin, K. Lindley Murray, Johnny
Strachan and William VI. Johnston.
81 feel confident that the team will
do much better than many persons be-
leve possible" wrote Williams. 81 am
greatly impressed with Washburn. His
game is going well, and think he will
do splendidly on the hard courts"
The national titleholder also drew
attention to the fac. that in the ma
tioaal clay court tournament al Pitts
burgh last week George VI. Church,
Dean Mathey and Washburn, the other
members Of the team, would have come
through with clean scores had II not
been that they lost to each other.
In other words. Williams and his
teammates were the strongest players
in the tournament, and succumbed only
when opposed by each other. lie be-
lieyes that the team is eXcellently bal
anced and that Church and Mathey in
the doubles will prove themselves SUI
perior to almost any Of the California
pairs.
Wrenn has also received letter from
Dr.. Sumner Hardy, national committee
man IN California, that the team
matches will be played on Saturday and
Sunday, July II and -, the best three
out of five sets. The exposition matches
will be best two out Of three sets. llc-

If heavy hitting combined with goo,a
fielding we're the only means by which
good baseball players are measured IL
probably would be an easy matter 10
strike an average and get the best men.
Rut errors Of omission are quite as
costly as errors of commission, and a
batsman who did nothing but sacri-
fee his mates along would be conceiy-
able, so that neither batting nor field
ing by themselves are true tests. -,
The heaviest hitting team obtained
among the colleges would bat 1858, and
would bat like this Nichols, Syracuse,
second base, $50; Hicks, Navy, catcher,
3lS: Bush, Yale, first base, PSI; Watt,
Columbia. second base, .3S5; Gerhartt,
Army. third base, .4O7; Adams, Navy,
shortstop, .403; Wescott, Tufts, .3l2;
Hardwick. Harvard, 1851, and Hobbs,

DEELEY OUT FOR GOOD
Osborne Makes Keepers Sus

manent yesterday by Warden Osborne.
Il was rumored at the prison last night
that this was th forerunner Of an

Riley and the warden.
The escape of Rocco Salzo two weeks
ago is the formal cause o. the keep
or's discharge. IL is not generally be-
l:eyed that this is the real reason for
his dismissal, since no charges were
brought against him until ten days
after the flight Of the convict.

won the first set so easily AT 6-l that
the spectators thought he would run
away with the match, but Rand, who
had attempted 20 meet Bassford al the
back-court game, changed his tactics IN
the last two sets and won most OF ms
points at the net. His playing was a
distinct i'm 5rovement over anything he

ford quite far from his best yester-

forcing the issue.

Cornell and Yale Would
Have ROWed Close Race

that time, or in 10 minutes 40 seconds,
Just 4 seconds better than the time OF
the Cornell eight, 10 minutes SO sec
onds.
On the other hand, Cornell, rowing
at New London, would have done 20
minutes 48 seconds. Rowing men are
agreed that unless conditions are iden-
teal times are worthless as means OF
comparison, but only in this way can
the relative merits of the two winning
crews be brought out. IL would prob
ably be safe to say that Yale and Cor
nell would have rowed a mighty close
race.
Another problem about which a great
many questions have been asked is the
fastest time on record for four miles
by college crew. The record Of the
Poughkeepsie course is 10 minutes
SO 1-5 seconds, made by Cornell in
1901, while the record Of the Thames
course is 20 minutes 10 seconds, made
by Yale in 1888. But faster times
have been made in trials.
Columbia is credited with having
rowed over the four miles upstream at
Poughkeepsie in 1908 in II minutes
so Is seconds, which is a full minute
under the record, while the Columbia
crew Of 1901, which forced Cornell to
break the record at Poughkeepsie to
win, rowed a four-mile trial on the
Hudson from Fort Washington Point
to loon Street in II minutes 80 sec
onds on swiftly moving ebb-tide.
Syracuse rowed four miles at Pough-
keepsie in Is minutes SO seconds in
1912, and Pennsylvania equalled that
time in 1910.
What times the Cornell crews have
made in trials has never been revealed
and probably never will be until all
the secrets Of the Courtney log book
are disclosed. At New London Harvard
has been credited with 10 minutes 90
seconds over the Thames course, and
Yale, too, has beaten the record in
practice.
