Stanford Trains in Mud;
Water Facilities Are Bad
Special to The Telegraph

San Francisco, Cal, June 30.-Why
Leland Stanford University's Junior
eight, which took second place in the
PoughFeepsie regatta on Tuesday. did
so mostly on Drawn, and showed no
form to speak of, was explained here
yesterday by E. C. Behrens, Stan
ford's graduate manager of athletics.
Stanford, Behrens said, rows virtu-
ally in the mud while at home. A
Shiny slough is their course. The water
in it is so muddy it is thick. The
slough is eight miles by rail and a con-
siderable walk after that from the
campus. Once or twice a week Frank
Guerena, the coach. slips down from
San Francisco and coaches. The rest
of the time the team does the best
1t can.
Guerena was coxswai n the Stan
ford crew of 1912 which went to pieces
at Poughkeepsie after covering the
course the day before the race in bet
ter than the morning time. Since then
his main ambition in life has been to
take another crew back.

IS those who follow the rowing game
will be treated to a novelty in the sight
of Frank Guerna. coach of the STAN
ford varsity.
Guerna is not only the youngest, but
the smallest, rowing coach on record.
He is 26 years old. 5 feet inches in
height and weighs but 115 pounds In
1912 and 1913 Guerna was coxswain of
tho Stanford varsity. He was grad
uated in 1913 and for the past two
years has been the rowing coach. That
he is a coach of ability is shown by the
record OF this years crew, which won
the Pacific coast championship by de-
feating the University of Washington
and the University of California crews
in the triangular regatta last month.
Guerna says victory for the south
erners In the big regatta the last OF
this month is more than he can hope
for. but if the Stanford boys make a
good showing he will be more than
satisfied.

MACK DENIES STORIES;
To KEEP PLANS SECRET
Sore Over Report That He Intends
to Quit Philadelphia; Stock
Not For Sale

Philadelphia, June S0.-Persistent
rumors to the effect that Connie
Mack's holdings in the Athletics were
for sale and that he had named his
price to a syndicate which has the ap-
proval of Ban Johnson, president of
the American League, were emphati-
cally denied by the manager of the
Mackmen last night. Mack also re-
fused to confirm or deny reports that
several of his players are to be traded
or sold.
The report that Mack was ready to
sell out his holdings in the club gained
circulation about a week ago, when
Ban johnson came to Philadelphia to
confer with the owners of the Ath-
letics. 1t is said the league officials
are dissatisfied with the way Mack is
breaking up his club and that there
were certain men interested in the
league who were eager to take over
Macks stock. Manager Mack said:
My interest in the Athletics is not
for sale at any price. but any time my
partners are dissatisfied with the way
I'm running my ball club, or the Amer
lean League does not like what I'm
doing and wants to drive me out of
the citv, they can do 1t easy enough.
But 1t will be a case of driving me out,
for I don't intend to quit. I'm here
to stay, and I'll win just as sure as
I've won before. To-day I read a re-
port about Jack Barry, and 1 want to
say right here that I do not intend to
tell anybody anything"

for growth as well as profit-yes,
and should be enjoyable as well.
The best work that we do is done
in the spirit of play, because we love
ii and are bound to make 1t win.
We speak of education and play
as something confined to the school
room, but our whole life's work should
be one continuous college course, and
could be made so, if the community
would turn its brains to the matter
in a broad-minded, considerate way
for few months.
The trouble is that we have never
seriously considered the problem
from a broad, racial point of view.
If we were to be asked why we go
TO work at such and such an hour,
and keep on until such and such
time, we could only give the cuckoo
like answer: Because everybody
else does"
There are few things we do so sense
lessly as work. To put in all the
hours of daylight and steal one or
two from the night at each end, no
matter how stupidity or slavishly,
ourselves, and to demand the same
tale of bricks from those We have
hired-that is the spirit OF our
boasted modern industry.
We know better than to work an
OK. or a horse, or even a loom, or a
locomotive, on such principles, but
we will and do so work ourselves
and our fellows. The one thing that
would most increase the efficiency Of
our work would be an extra hour in

cannot afford to reap profit from the
labor of our children at the risk of
stunting and impairing their ef-
ficiency for life, but we still treat
ourselves and our fellows without
any reasonable consideration or
bfains-in this regard.
Sit down and consider the problem
of your life work seriously, and
when you have done it, go to your
associates, your employees and your
neighbors and ask them to consider
it with you. All that is needed is
team work and mutual agreement.
Early closing, for instance, is now al
most universal in our great cities:
and yet our merchants make better
profits than ever before. Any given
community could add ten per cent.
to its efficiency, and twenty per cent.
to its health, lower its death rate
and raise its income, by getting to-
gether and mutually agreeing to be-
gin work in all lines an hour later
in the morning, and quit an hour
earlier in the afternoon. All the
goods that the community requires
can be sold, all its necessary work
be done just as we'll. in eight houzs
per diem as in ten.
No work is profitable, howevc-
we'll paid, il it undermines your
health. No work is profitable, what
ever its wage, which does not in
crease your efficiency for tomorrow.

week after that until you are sixty.

two hours OF play between closing
time and nightfall Such unconscious,
and often most unwilling expert
ments as have been made in this
direction yield the same result with
a positively astonishing unanimity.
Every time that the hours OF labor
have been shortened in given in
dustry, the actual output per worker,
per diem, has increased and been fol-
lowed by that most incontestable OF
evidences, an increased wage-though
this last is never in proportion to
the gain in efficiency Those coun-
tries of the civilized world, and those
trades which have the longest hours,
have nine times out of ten the low
est wages and the smallest output
per worker. The best paid and most
intelligent labor is in the long run
the cheapest, whether it be your
own or that of your employee. Only
recently, for instance, the mills IN a

The Kind-Hearted Countryman

A simple old countryman dwelt with
his wife
At the edge of a beautiful wood.
And one of the principal joys of his
life
Lay in being as kind as he could.
His kindness to animal, insect and
bird
I've mentioned that he was most
kind
Often bordered decidedly on the abb
surd,
AS doubtless you'll presently find.
He thought the poor bees had to
work oyermuch
In order to gather their honey,
SO he filled all the flowers with sugar
and such,
Which his wife thought unusually
funny.
1t panied him to see squirrels using
their teeth,
In cracking the nuts that they
found.
So he placed new pair of nutcrack-
ers beneath
Every tree for ten acres around.
Such kindness continued, as you may
have guessed,
Till the limit was reached, you'll
agree,
When, in order to give the birds
plenty of rest,

VIZ DIRK in strict moderation is

life, but is not life. Yet we
make life subservient to work, in
stead of work to life. The most i'm

of any industry is the type of man
and woman that it turns out Work
is far from being the biggest and
most important thing in the world.
Yet we are unconsciously coming to
regard work as more important than
life and the moment that any pro-
posal is made to regulate or restrain

cry is raised, as of one aghast at
sacrilege, that we are Interfering

The real purpose of work is to
build up the State and develop men.

Those people and races who profit
most by their industry are not those
who work hardest and most inces-

t VERY American desires to travel
in foreign lands and soak him
self in strange and uncouth
customs. However it is not neces-
sary to pay over the price of a dur
able automobile TO some steamship
company in order to do this All
that is necessary is carfare to New
York.
New York is the metropolis CT
America and half a dozen other ma
tions. By feeding nickel at inter-
walls to the rapacious street car cor
poration the visitor in New York can
skip lightly from Italy to Hungary,
to Palestine, to China, and on to Rus
sia without bothering about Gus
toms duties. He can find as much
difficulty in making himself under
stood as if America was three weeks
and $500 away, and he can eat meals
which are as hard to understand and
get over as the celebrated table
dh6teS of Naples, and Canton,
China.
The New York visitor who leaves
Fifth Avenue and plunges resolutely
into the East Side mile away can
see Sicilian feudists stabbing each
other in the back with all the grace
and fuency which has made their
native land famous. He can worship
at Chinese joss houses il he likes
and can wade through Russian
streets which show as little regard
for sanitation as the originals far
away.
When he has tired of this he can
30 over on Fifth Avenue to some OF
the city's most tightly buttoned up
clubs and discover more perfect Eng
lish accents and manners than can
be found in London; and he can go
to hotel and order meal which is
all French but the boy who steals
the hats at the entrance.
