OPTIMISM IN CAMP
 OF YALE OARSMEN
Crew Work Has Become Active After
 the Return of Guy NickalIs.

With Guy Nickalls back from Eng land, crew work at Yale has become active, ill preparation for another victory over the Crimson at New Lon don next June. Despite repeated assurances to the contrary there has been feeling that something might intervene so that Nickalls would be obliged to stay in England, and his actual presence here in New Haven has given the Blue confidence that there will be an- other powerful varsity. eight. Last season the new Yale rowing policy was something of an experiment, and hopes and doubts struggled against each other almost up to the day of the big race. There is a different con- dltion now. Nickalls has proved his theory by an indelible victory, and main unquestfoned in all that pertains to the rowing policy at New Haven. And as Q matter of fact that policy has been quite cleverly outlined
 It is now known that the Yale var sity will use an English made shell. equipped with thole pins, but in ar rangement of seats the American cus- tom will prevail, that of placing the men directly over the keel, instead or z1gzaS as in the usual type of English boat. The performance of the Yale crew last year when it used the thole pin rig and the corrobora- tive evidence which was gathered from the performance of Pennsylva- mia on the Hudson has been taken as Justification of what by many was considered as an absolute method. The fact that Captain Denegre and Coach Nickalls are in accord on all the main points of the rowing policy gives confidence that there viii be no hitch in carrying active training along to 8 successful issue.

A Tribute to "Red" Waller

The leading writer on the Water bury American pays the following tribute to Red Waller:
 Athletes in Southern California col leges who take money in one sport are barred from college teams only in that branch of athletics; they are still eli gible to any other of the college teams This was the rule adopted at Los An seles, Cal, recently by the executive committee of the Southern California intercollegiate conference. The sum- mer baseball problem is thus solved for Southern California collegians, as the athletic playing professional base ball in summer is only disqualified from the varsity baseball squad. He can still play football or appear on the track.
 Red Waller, the former Bridgeport ball player who died Thursday, was of that baseball generation which had not discovered the necessity of properly caring for ones physical health if he would make sure his suc- cess on the diamond. or of husbanding ones finances to provide for the future. The class of which he Is a type, even in the minors. is rapidly being Supplanted, thanks to the ad- vent of more college players than was the case a few years ago. by wiser players who not only play the game for their love of 1t, but add to the longevity of their baseball usefulness, as well as to their fund for that day when their earning capacities as play CTS are no more, by passing up many of those things that bring momentary pleasure, but are followed later by everlasting regret,

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS PULL.
Stocks Showed Steadiness at the Openins-Ciosed With Few Material Changes.

New York, March 9.-For the first time since the outbreak of the Europ- can war, conditions across the water were today almost wholly sub ordinate to events nearer home. Latest developments in the Mexican situation, as seen in the attitude of the Washington government, drew re- newed attention to affairs in the sounthern republic and excited some concern in financial circles.
 Stocks manifested steadiness at the opening, but became moderately unsettled on announcement that it had been decided to send warships to Mex jean ports. Prices became firmer later, when it became known that Washington had not departed from it's policy of intervention in that luarter. Recoveries to the early high level were recorded, but trading grew increasingly dull, with few material changes at the close.
 Retirement Of the Gould or domin- ant interest, from the Missouri. Pacific and St Louis and Iron Mountain roads was reflected by considerable activity at advancing prices in the securities by properties Later, however, profit taking in Missouri Pacific caused some shading of quoted values.
 Manipulation continued in the so- called commercial specialties, including the motor shares, Sears Roebuck, Woolworth, Express company issues and numerous stocks in the more ob- scure list, but was without effect on the speculative favorites, where the movement was more narrow. Western Maryland common and preferred were the only railway stocks to score sub Stantial gains, Canadian Pacific Req ding, Lehigh Valley and Chesa- peake and Ohio were relatively heavy.
 The feature of the opening exchange market was the strength of remit tances to Madrid, pesetas advancing sharply because of an abrupt decline in sterling at the Spanish capital. Be- cause of the large amount of available capital now held by local banks, time money was dull, six months loans be- ing made at 1-4 per cent.
 There was marked decline of fu- ture or foreign sales of our bonds. That market was irregular, with strength in low priced issues. Our bankers announced an impending loan of s15,000, 900 to the government of Switzerland in the form of one to five year five per cent notes, the pro- ceeds to be used for purchases in this country. The notes will be offered to the public, at a price slightly under par according to report

STALLlNGS BREAKING UP
 HIS CHAMPIONSHIP TIE
Whitted. Mann and Deal Allowed to
 Depart.

The disintegra tion of a champion ship baseball team does not start as a. rule until, say, two years after the championship has been won, but here the 1915 capaign has not started and We find that three of the leading factors in the success of the Athletics in 1914-Bender, Plank and Collins have been allowed to depart while several of the Braves who helped win the worlds championship will be with other clubs this year.
 At least three members of Stallings' team who took part in the memorable clash with the Athletics at Shibe park and F'enway field will not be found in Boston uniforms this year. Whitted, the hard-hftting outfelder who was sent into the lineup when a southpaw was hurling for the opposi- tion. is slated for the Phillies, along with Pitcher Tom Hughes and Inf1eld- er Dugey. Charley Deal, former American league discard, who did the pinch third -basing in the world series and Leslie Mann. another of the right hand batting outfielderS, have jumped to the Feds.
 Without any trouble Stallings could have prevented the hurdling of Deal arG Mann. Neither wanted to leave the Braves, but, with the National league agreeing upon player limit of q, it was necessary for the miracle man to do some cutting, and Deal and Mann were two upon whom he asked waivers. Regardless of that action the two players might have remained with the Braves had they been will ing to accept the terms offered, but each asked for a raise, and as such salary boosts were not forthcoming they passed up the chance to get in to the next worlds series and hurd- led.
 These two players were the ones re-

CHANGE FOR RITcHIE
 TO REGAIN HIS TITLE.
Meets Freddie Welsh Thursday Night
 At Madison Square Garden.

One thought will be uppermost in the mind of Willie Ritchie as he sits in his corner awaiting the clang of the bell that will send him against Fred die Welsh, the worlds lightweight champion, in their 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.
 The memory of how the elusive Welsh ducked. sidestepped, gave ground and fitted out of harms way like a willo'-the-wisp all through the 20 round bout in London last summer, when Ritchie lost his title to Freddie, will come back to the California boy as he walks forth from his corner to meet Welsh at the Garden.
 Those who have seen Ritchie in his recent training, and who have noted from the former holder of the title, believe he intends to adopt radically different measures this time against Welsh. It is rumored that Willie is going to take the aggressive from the beginning and devote all his attention to connecting one solid punch with the champions jaw in the hope of re- gaining lost laurels.
 It is & certainty that Ritchie will not attempt to match his boxing skill against the Welshman. He saw the futility of that in the London bout,
 
 his opponent out before the bell ends the tenth and last round.
 The Californian does not appear quite so fast in his gymnasium work as he did a. year ago. His footwork, too, appears to have suffered a bit in comparison with what he showed earlier in his career. His long lay of has undoubtedly had it's effect on the former champions speed, but on the other hand, he has filled out until he looks more like a welterweight than a lightweight.
 His training methods would indi- cate that Ritchie is going to rely on the heft of his punch this time, rather than on mere speed, to defeat his con- queror. Both Dr. Jeffreys, the Pacific Coast boys trainer, and Ritchie him. self are confident sooner or later Welsh's jaw will come in contact with Willie's glove, and that then the title will come back to America.
 It is evidently the intention of the San Francisco youth to keep after Welsh relentlessly, taking whatever the champion sends over in the effort to land his own punch, and there are quite a fewboxing enthusiasts who arc of the opinion that Ritchie will be able to accomplish his purpose.

sponsible for the 1-to-0 victory ac- quired by the Braves at the expense of the Athletics with Eddie Plank in the box. Deal it was who got on when Strunk misjudged his line drive. Deal 1t was who stole third, and Mann 1t was who sent Deal home with the only run of the game. Then again, Mann, running for Gowdy, scored the winning run for the third contest of the series.
 The going Of WIhitted and Mann may prevent Stallings from switching his outfielders, as he did last year, 50 as to have three right-hand batters in the game when facing a southpaw and three left-handers in when a right-hander was on the slab for the opposition.
