CREWS IN READINESS

Poughkespsie, N. Y., June 26-All the coaches of the crews of Cornell, Columbia, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, and Stanford stated last night that their hard work was finished and that tomorrows practice will be very light With the exception of Stanford none of the, crews will go out for practice Sunday The Varsity crews, however, will early in the evening row their shells to the Colum bia boathouse, the rendezvous of the crews for the four-rnile race.
 Early this evening all the crews were on the water, the Cornell, Syra- cuse, and Pennsylvania crews beirg taken over the course to give their coxswains line on their respective courses. Both the Syracuse and Penn sylvania' Varsity crews rowed a hard four miles, but had their evening drill up the river, no hard work being done by Columbia, while the Stanford eight was put through 8 series of sta rts and spurts.
 Tomorrow afternoon there will be a little regatta in front of the Cor nell quarters when two events wll. be pulled off. There will be a pair oar race between the substitutes of Cornell, Stanford, and Pennsylvania, and a four-oar race between subsri- tutes Of Syracuse and Colum bis.

If John U. McGraw should fail to drive his Giant entourage into the first division this. season, 1915 would mark his first New York slump below the Great Divide in thirteen campaigns
 While McGraw took charge of the Giants late in 1902, his nrst starting year with the Giants was 1903, when z he carried them into second place. aIr the twelve campaigns up to 1915 he has finished first on i've occasions; second on five occasions third once,4 and fourth once. tx Tn these twelve years he has won over 60 per cent. of his games through nine seasons, with with a grand average around $50. With this record back Of him to up- hold, small wonder that John J. is battling hard for his place in the sun of the First Division and is plan ring day and night to break the heavy spell which beset the Giants year ago last July and has continued ever since. Among sMcGraws s many ambitions one is to keep his first division record clean-to finish his career without ever piloting his Giants among the Trailing Four. And while many are ricking the Giants to still finish second or third, even a nrst division finish is no easy assignment m view os things as they are
 NIcGraw's Job.
 To finish among the first four, Me- Graw must beat out at least two of these cIubs-C Chicago Boston, Phila-. delphia, St. Louis and Pittsburg He. expects to beat out the last three clubs named But there must be de- cided change before any one of these three outposts fall. After, winning three pennants and holding the lead into July, the Giants first hit upon waning days something like a year ago. From July through early Octo- Der, matter of three months play, they failed to win half their games. Struggle as they would they were not able to draw an even break
 From April Up to the close of June they have still been unable to- win fifty per cent of their starts. So here: stands a total stretch of nearly six months, embracing 40 contests, where the Giants have been unable to maintain 300 clip. If they are to finish fourth or better they must ex- 1libit different brand or play from that shown in their last 40 contests.
 The Case of Mack.
 Connie Mack hasn't as spectacular 2 showing as McGraw to protect. Connie has dropped back into the. secoad set on two occasions. He finished fifth in 1904 and sixth in 1908. And where McGraw has a chance to finish as high as second or third this season, Connie hasn't a. chance to finish better than fifth-and is isn't likely that he w.n wind up. this high.
 The spectacle Of Connie grappling with St. Louis and Cleveland in a three scramble for last place is decidedly novel. But connie, with.

l AZ T. a Y Boston, June 26.-Babe Ruth and Slim Caldwell, generally known to the baseball fans as the greatest os home run pitchers, were responsible for the easy victory cha1ked up by the Red Sox against the Yankees here yesterday. The Boston pitcher con- trfbuted to the home teams triumph by hard hitting and fair pitching, while Caldwell's portion was poor pitching. As was the case in the ser cond game at Philadelphia Monday, Slim could not locate the plate or else he located it and could not get the ball past the Red Sox bats. The score was g to 5. The score:

your shelter from the cold on the

Here is another suggestion en-
mating from a road worker. In
fact it amounts to a request from
la contractor, that people who
have fences, timbers of any
kind, and trash as well, along
the side Of a public road that is
being worked by contract, do not
throw anything like posts, rails,
pickets, limbs or trash Of any
kind in the roadbed or in the
ditch. This carelessness causes
trouble and delay to the road ma
chine as it passes in it's work.
The contractor wishes to do his
job well and comply fully with
his contract, unhindered by the
thoughtlessness of those who
are benefited by a good road. It
is the pride of every one living
along a contract road, Cor any
road whatever) to have the road
clean from its top to the bottom
|of the ditch.
It would not be>a bad idea to
offer a prize to the contractors of
the five beat roads to be given
the one who can show the best
worked road at some set time.

of the bent or curled part of the brim.
layer Of colored silk voile or chiffon
is stretched from the edge of the brim
to the crown. and in the space so COW
cred flowers are laid, rather fatty
around he brim. The color effects so
gained are charming. For instance,
faded violet voile is stretched from
the edge of the curled brim of a
peacock blue straw hat, and the flow

shades of rose and yellow. The color
effect resulting is really charming.
