NEW LONDON SEEMS
TO HAVE BEST CREWS
Or. Walter Peet Believes Pough-
keepsie Boats Are EcIipsed
This Year.
By DIR. WALTER PEET.

NEW YORK, June For the first
time in several years the class OF crews
, at New London this year seems to be
better than that OF those which will row
at Poughkeepsie. In the early season
races the Yale varsity beat Pennsyl-
vania. Princeton. and Cornell. while
Harvard defeated Cornell on the latter's
home waters Harvards margin over
Cornell was slightly greater than was
Yale's. but the race at Ithaca was an
eighth of a mile longer than the one at
Princeton. so that the two New Eng
land crews now seem to be very evenly
matched.
With Harvard's experience abroad,
and having veterans In the boat. the

The Dark Blue Is perhaps rowing on
better basic principles, but the New
Haven men are in several respects
rather rough. Guy Nickalls will un-
doubtedly polish and smooth out the
faults before the 18th OF this month.

PENN CASTS ABOUT
TOREPLACE 0RTON
Athletic Authorities Disappoint-
ed at Showing Made by
Track Team.

PHILADELPHIA. June 7.-University
of Pennsylvania athletic authorities
have already begun to cast about for
successor to George orton. who has
been coach of the track team for the
last two years orton was named in the
spring of 1918, after Mike Murphy's
death, and he signed contract the
same year to coach the team In 1914.

er year to handle the Quakers on the
cinder path.
1t is an open secret at Franklin Field.
however. that Orton has already out
lived his usefulness, and, although his
resignation will not be asked for, II
would be received with qualification by
the Pennsylvania authorities. who are
OF a mind In the belief that Orton failed
signally to keep the team that Murphy
had built up in condition for the 1914
games. and that he did even worse this
made were scored by four men. despite
the fact there were ten or a dozen Of
championship caiiber on the squad.
No one Is willing to admit that Orton
is defective in knowledge OF track ath-
letics or training. but there Is unan-
unity Of opinion as to his failure to
grasp the situation presented to him at
Franklin Field and OF his inability to
recognize the conditions confronting
him. 1t IL a matter Of great regret to
Pennsylvania men to be forced to reach
this conclusion. because no one had a
more honorable record in Pennsylvania
athletics as a student than orion
Rowing Is the only sport in which
the Quakers feel they are keeping
abreast Of the times. They realize that
George Brooke was too hard pressed
by outside activities to devote the time
necessary to the development OF the
football team. Although Brooke will
continue as head coach next fall, he
will have assigned to him corps OF
able assistants, so that he will be en-
abled to devote his time to the work
ing out Of original plays, a branch OF
football coaching in which he was most
successful at Swarthmore.
AS to baseball. there seems little
ground for finding fault with Roy
Thomas. Although the, Quaker team
has won only Ave Of eighteen games.
its poor showing is attributable chiefly
to the lack of pitchers. There Is not
single boxman in the squad who is
consistent Neither spielman nor Wis
ner has pitched continuously good ball.
The team In other respects seems to be
as good as the average college nine.

COLUMBIA SEEKING
ITS GR|D|RON COACH
No Decision Yet Made, Though
Director Was to Have Been
Named at Commencement.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Columbia is
still in search Of a football coach. 1t
was believed by many that the name
OF the man who would have charge of
varsity football in it's first appearan nee
on Morningside Heights IN ten years
would be made known on commence
ment day, but the name Of the coach is
still as much Of a mystery as ever.
Because of the peculiar conditions
under which the football director rnust
work 1t will probably take the greater
right man. Several promising candidates
for the place have been interviewed by
the committee, but with none of them
was Columbia able to come to terms.
1t Is probable that a man who has
had experience with the system of ath-
letic MANAGEMENT in vogue in the
Western colleges will be put in charge
Of Columbia's gridiron squad. because
such a man would understand from ex-
perience his relations to the faculty, of
which he would be a member through
Furthermore. when the football season
Is over the coach will continue in the
physical education department as
regular instructor. This stipulation will
bar a man of the type of Hamilton
Fish. who would be able to devote only
part of the year to the interests of the
football team.

BOSTON, June T-Sentiment among
the fans here is largely with President
Joe Lannin. of the Red Sox, in his con-
troversy with Dutch Leonard and other
players on his team. The Red Sox have
the highest salaried pitching staff in
either league and are getting the
poorest returns. Leonard. Wood, Gregg
and Collins have been dra wing extrav-
agant money and resting easily, assured
that they could not suffer financially

GRIFFMEN ARE STICKING TIGHT.

Though all the world. be against them.
the, Griffmen are sticking tight, They
refuse to fall to the, bottom, As often
as they lose. they come right back with
a victory offsetting their failure. II
Manager Griffith is correct in his pre-
diction. they may yet begin to hit better,
and. IL they do that. they are certain
to cause trouble to those clubs ahead
Of them as long as they fall no farther
behind.
:. During the week gone the Griffmen
won two and lost three contests. the
same record made by the Athletics. In
their Ave games they made 20 runs on
30 hits, and had 80 men left on bases.
Twelve errors In the field were chalked
against them.
In seven games the Indians made "a
hits, the Tigers following close after
with 62 bingles In eight games. one OF
which ended in tied score. The In
dians also led in run-getting, having 30
runs in their seven combats, the Tigers
falling behind that in eight contests.
Here is the comparative work of the
Griffmen to date.
