FEDS LOSING

5 How little one hears of the Federal

outlaws in the llmelight since organ
lied baseball adopted it's policy Of In
difference. In only one town In its
circuit has II been drawing well. and
that Is Kansas City. the town that
Gilmore tried TO kick out last winter.
In none OF the other seven cities are
expenses being made. In fact. when
the extravagant overhead expenses
OF the Feds are taken into consider
alton, il r. believed they are losing
much more than either the Interna-
tional or American association. which
admit they are heavy losers.
A year ago. the Chicago papers
sent war correspondents with the
Cbifeds Just az they did with the
White Sox and Cubs. This year they

HARVARD QUARTERS. RED
TOP. Conn. June 23.-Every boat
race of importance depends largely
upon the endurance and good inde.
ment OF the stroke oars. and this
is expected to be particularly true
OF the annual. classic between Har-
ward and Yale. which will be rowed
Friday over the New London
course.
The Yale men think Morse Is a
phenomenon. He has stroked two
Yale class crews which went to
Cambridge and beat the champion
Harvard class crew and this year
he has set the beat for the Yale
varsity in all its races.
He is light. but his physical de-
veiopment Is far above the ordi-
nary and he is said 10 be tougher
than nails" He Is older than the
average college man and has spent
good deal of his spare time on
the water ever since he was boy.
Indeed. one OF the stories In
Gales Ferry. where he has lived
more or less. Is that he once went
around the world before the mast.
His Judgment OF pace. Of the ability
of his own crew and OF what II can
do against an opponent Is highly
commended by the Yale men.
Lund. the Harvard strokes is
quite different sort Of man. He is
tall and wiry and does not seem to
have the toughness or endurance
which Morse possesses. He is. more
over, four or FIVE years younger
than the Yale stroke.
Lund has had. however. more ex-
perience az stroke than Morse.
Neither has rowed tour-mile race.
but Land has rowed against most
OF the college crews in this country
and the pick OF the English Fights.
and unless the Harvard men are
greatly mistaken he is one OF the
