DOCTOR TELLS CAPT. OF YALE
 CREW TO QUIT

New Haven, Conn, March IT, Thomas Bayne Denegre of New Or leans, captain Of the Yale crew, was forbidden by his physicians yesterday to do any more rowing, and is out of the bow for good. He will resign as captain today, and a successor will be elected immediately. For nearly two men have been at the harbor, Denegre has been rowing at No. in the var sity bow, though whether he would have been able to hold his position there through the season is a matter of serious question.
 The opinion of his physicians, how ever. settles the matter beyond any question, and Denegre's days of row ing are over.
 Denegre has had strange career in rowing. He was elected captain at the end of his sophomore year, Q great honor, and last year started in to pick his crew. About the middle of the season it became quite apparent that he was the weakest man in the obat, and after talking the matter over with Guy Nickalls, Denegre got out of the boat
 He did not return to the boat during the season and did not row with the winning crew in June. Jack Appleton, the stroke, in an enthusiastic speed gave him all te credit for the victory, with the questionable praise that by getting out of the boat hea had made winning possible.
 As the result Denegre was re-eIect- ed captain He has been confident, until the physicians made their exam nations, that he would be able to make the first bow this year. but the decision is final It became known at the boat house yesterday afternoon, and Denegre did not row.

IRIS SPEAKER IN
 BETTER CONDITION
 THAN LAST SEASON

Hot Springs, March 1z.--It is ques- ttpnable if a. team has ever reported for practice before in apparently such good condition as the Boston Red Sox. DuGy Lewis and HoblitzeIl who wera members of the a1a-Star squad that barnstornaed since the season closed through California and the Hawaiian Islands, are conspicuous by their good condition. Larry Gard- ner. Scott, Janvrin and SSa1nor have no surplus weight to reduce. while Cady. Thomas and Manager Caxrigan look as though they were ready to enter ehe season at once.
 Perhaps the best sign of all is the conditdon of Iris Speaker After the long and tiresone drill Of the world's tourists trip last year. the famous Texan was evidently overworked, hurting the chances Of the club in no unmarked degree.
 Tt is a well known fact that he played in the early games last spring when he should have been under the care Of d physacians despite the advice of Manager Carrigan, so anxious was he to be in the fray
 This year it win be a diRerent prop oz1t1cn. and unless all signs fail. the idol of Hub will have the greatest year Of has career. Everyone can readily see what this means to the team. and naturadzy Manager Carrt- gan as well jas his teammates and Fres4dent Iddngaln ara greatly elated.

TRlANCLES
 BEATEN BY
 FINAL SPURT
(ByWagner.)


 About the middle of the second half last night it looked as if the St James, triangle i've might hang something on the B1ue Ribbon basketball experts. The Triangle boys had made several sensational shots and were within three points of the locals when the Ribbon speed merchants cut loose and. piled enough goals on the counter to win by fl to 23-
 The visitors had a. strong team, Their passing was remarkably good and their shooting generally accprat te. The staawaEt defense of the Rdbbons was too much for them, However. The tactics of the locals forced the Trian- gles to dc most of their passing in their owns eteritory. When they tried to rush the ball down the floor Roxey Roach or Swenson managed to stop proceed inEs.
 Capt. Becknnan was in splendid form for the Ribbons. He chaIked up nine goals and also got five from the foul line Jimmy Clinton came next with four taIlies. Eddie Leonard had the elongated Malone against him and did net do as we'll as usual. Roach and Swenson managed to contribute some shots, though.
 Dreyfus, the Heading, Pa. guard. kept Clinton busy in the first half and Sheehan also starred for the visitors. The first half period ended 1s to Ii in favor of the Ribbons Although the TriangIes made a squirt in the second session they could not withstand the Ribbons whirIwind finish. The line .up

Windhan, or1gina11y a rtght-hand- ed pitcher, lost the use of his pitch ing arm through an accident He made a shift and began practicing with his left arm. He was very suc- cessful and made splendid record with the Worcester team of the Eastern League during 1903. so good, in fact. that he was signed by the St. Louis Americans for the season of 1904.
 However, his pitching from the left side was not natural for him, and in- stead of his arms getting stronger and better he weakened his whole left side and finally had to give up pitch ing.
 So the anb1d extr0uS hurler is more or less of a, myth. The pitching game is too strenuous for any kind of an arm but the good natural wing.

CORNELL EXPECTS TO HAVE STRONG
 NINE THIS YEAR

Ithaca, N. Y, March 17.@That Cornell will develop a strong baseball. team this spring seems assured by the progress made by the baseball squad in indoor practice in the last two weeks. The Ithacans are very we'll off in pitchers, and they have a strong catching department. practically the entire inffeId Of last spring will again be available. and 9 number of new but excellent ontfielders have 1eport- ed.
 All of last years boxmen with the exception of Acheson, who graduated last June, are again available. Steve Regans last years crack, is warming up in great shape. Bryant, Russell, and Johnson have also shown good form. Next to Began. Russell and Bryant seem to be the best men, both of them requiring only experience to put them right Russell is a junior, and his development this year is very important to the success of futura Cornell teams, as the other three men are all seniors.

THREE CLUBS TO LOSE

Hartford, New Haven and Springfield
 Decline to File Bonds

Hartford, March 17-More chaotic than ever is the situation that con fronts the Eastern baseball associa- ton as the result of the doings of the directors at tha special meeting call ed for this afternoon at the Hotel Garde> Three of the clubs, Hartford, Springfield, and New Haven. under advice of counsel refIRNd to attend the session, and the other three clubs, Bridgeport, New London and Pitts field, conducted what they term was 8. legal meeting, declared the Hart ford, Springfield and New Haven franchises were automatically vacat- ed by failure to file the necessary bonds with the league president by Monday, March Is, and now declare they constitute the entire Eastern baseball association
 It was patent just before o'clock, :, as President OiRourks was getting ready to call the directors together, that something out of the ordinary was in the wind. for neither James H. Clarkin. owner of the Hartford franchise; William E. Carey, owner of the Springfield franchise, nor Jer- ry Cornell. who was known to hold the proxy of the New Haven club by virtue of a delegation to that affect from Owner George ". Cameron, were anywhere in sight
 Just at 3 o'clock Cornelius J. Dam aher or Meriden announced to Pres ident 0sRourke that he represented three clubs Hartford. Springfield and New Haven. and was instructed to in form him that the owners of these franchises did not intend to attend the meeting. Danaher then pointed out to President O'Rourke that under section 52 of the constitution of the Eastern association it would be in- possible for meeting of the lea gue to be held as it required q ma jority of the members of the league to be present. and three clubs would not constitute a majority He warm ed President OsRourke to be careful as to what action he took in view of

Marlin. Tex. March HAS an alibi for their defeat by the Colts yesterday the Regulars claim that the youngsters played far above their speed after taking some "shots of hop just after lunch. when Dr. AL len, the club physician. administered the anti-typhotd treatment to those who did not take it yesterday. The Colts were full of pepper and serum and they put it over 9n the vets in a six inning game by a score Of to
 Yesterday the old boys stood for the serum treatment. but the effect of the dope evidently wore away quickly. The cold east wind cladI1ed their play to such an extent that they made only six hits off Rube Sehauer and Al Williams. Schauer was SUD- posed to have 9 lame arm, but the Regulars hope he never faces them when his arm is right, if he was pitching lame.
 Chief Meyers went behind the bat for the first time since he came here more than two weeks ago Meyers has been complaining of colds and other misery ever since he came. In desperation he is trying to work the ailments out Of his system The Chief started out with one bad throw, but his subsequent heaves to the bases were accurate. He handled the pitching of Gipe and Schupp cleverIy. Gape and schupp did about as well as Schauer and Will Hams, but were not decently sup ported.
 Sandy Piez continues to star for the Colts. and it is believed that he will soon be assigned to left field for the Regulars. pending the return of Burns, who will be lucky if he plays ball by May 1. Yesterday Sandy smashed hit to deep cen ire into a, home run by hitting up his speed on the bases. In the first inn ing he made the sensational fielding play of the game. going over to the foul line for the capture Of Grants light hit.

 Continuing, MT. Danaher saids s'It is the express desire of MT. Cameron, the New Haven owner. whose invest ment in this league is as heavy as that of any other club, that no ae- ton of any important nature be taken until, he is able to be on the ground himself. He considers this a very serious situation facing the Eastern association and as he hopes to be able to come East in about 10 days. OF shortly after that time, and would then have a chance to inYesti- gate conditions and act for himself. MT. Carey and MT.

Cameron can get on the field of ac= ton and attend to his own affairs personally
 Mir O'Rourke then announced that another special meeting of the league had been called for next Friday at 2:30 o'clock at the Hotel Garde, New Haven. and that the secretary had been instructed to notify Hartford, Springdefd and New Haven to this effect, and that they would then have an opportunity to be heard, if there were any reasons. why these franchises should not be forfeited to the league.

Bobby Stow, recently sold by Bridgeport to Fort Worth of the Texas league. left his home in New Haven for Forth Worth yesterday. He baked at first when informed that he had been sold but finally decided to report. He said he would get a big increase in salary. The fact that he has come to terms with Forth Worth puts him out of the running as candidate for the Bridgeport clubs manager.
 Stow was brought out by Gene Mc- Cam when he first took charge of the Bridgeport club in 1910A Me Cam saw Stow playing with the West Ends and liked his looks. Bobby played three years at second base but was changed to shortstop in 1913, He led the league in base stealing last year.
