Smith, of the New York A. c., defeated
W. NJ. Hoover, of Duluth.
There is little doubt that young Ten
Eyck will shortly find himself coaching
O college crew. He stroked the SYRIA
cuse varsity Fights in 1907, 1908 and
1909, winning with the 1908 crew. He
was a capable stroke and well taught
by his father. The Ten Eyck family is
probably one of the best known rowing
families that America has developed
outside of the Wards. jim Ten Eyck,
the elder, got his rowing from his
father, who conducted ferry at Peeks-
kill for years.
When single-shell racing was at its
height, in the 7O's and early SOS, Jim
Ten Eyck got into the game. He coached
at Annapolis in the late COS, and in
1902 went to Syracuse. where he has
been ever since. Ned Ten Eyck, an
older son, won the Diamond Souls in
England, and later was the coach Of
the University of Wisconsin crews. So
young linn has plenty of rowing tradi-
ton in the family on which to tack his
own call TO fame.

TOMMERS MAY BE
YALE COACH
Rumor Has II That He Will Fill
Frank Quimby's Shoes
in Baseball.

The selection of a baseball coach at
Yale to succeed Frank Quimby, who has
withdrawn for good and all, is a subject
that is receiving a great deal OF consld-
Grafton at New Haven. Yale alumni
were divided on the merits of Quimby
as a coach of the varsity nine, but
where they will get a better man is
the question that is puzzling them.
WIth the announced selection of I'D
Walsh as coach Of the pitchers, it ap-
pears that Yale has definitely aban-
doned the graduate system of coaching
which was introduced when Quimby
took charge. Under Billy Lush Walsh
coached the Yale twirlers, but when
Lush left. three years ago. Bernie Tom
mers, one of the pitchers who had been
developed by Walsh, was named to
coach the twirlers.
Rumors, apparently not without
foundation, have slated Tommers as
head coach of the nine, and in view OF
Walsh's retention to develop the pitch
ers such a selection does not seem to be
without the range of probability, The
only bar in the way for Tommers to be-
come head coach is the fact that he
has had practically no experience aside
from that picked up with the Yale
teams, and such professional
teams as he has played with. .
It is felt by Yale men that man Of
much experience is needed for the post,
and for this reason Tommers may not
be named. It is known, however, that
Captain Milburn leans favorably tow
ard Tommers, and where the word OF
the captain is as closely akin to law
as il is at New Haven there would be
small wonder, say Yale men, conversant
with the situation, if Tommers should
be named.

Yesterday being the birthday of
Rev. F. H. Callahan, pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, the
church gave him quite a pleasant
surprise in the form of a reception
and shower of groceries. On Sunday
morning the superintendent Of the
Sunday school announced that he
wished the Sunday hchool teachers to
meet in a called session Monday ev-
ening at the church at 1880, and ur-
gently requested the pastor to be
present. One of the elders fearing
this would not be sufficient to insure
the pastors presence, asked that the
session meet to transact some bust
ness. This he made very impressive
also. The pastor and his wife, who
is a teacher in the school, wondered
! all day Monday what the called
meetings were for, as they knew of
no business that needed such special
attention, but remembering that the
church always has GOOD reasons for
whatever it does in any department
of it's work, strolled up to the church
at about the appointed time. When
/ they came in sight they saw several
automobiles parked in front of the
church and wondered still more why

APPROVES PLAN

Editor Evening Telegram:
read in your paper of the 21st
inst. an interesting article on street
paving and the method of paying for
same, written by DR.. Irwin.
Hope the doctor will pardon me
for taking up his subject, but as I
am very much interested in Lakeland
and all kinds of paving, l would like
to see the property owners of Lake
land get started on the best plan of
paying for their pavement and get
value received for their money.
have lived in New Orleans and
Birmin CHAM and did paving in both
of these cities. New Orleans had
about the same method of paying for
street paving that Lakeland has to-
day In the early part of 1918 |
read several articles in the New Or
leans papers that stated the people
were trying to find feasible plan
to change the method of payments
as there were at that time petitions
in the city hall asking for the paw
ing of streets amounting to about
four million dollars and the city was
powerless to do anything as they had
no money and no way of getting 1t
to pay for tie icity's part of the
cost.
In Birmingham the property own
ers pay for all the paving, including
the intersections, and have the OPP
ton of paying cash, on in install
ments of ten years. l approve OF
this plan except the ten year pay
ments; | think five years is long en-
ough II the property owners OF
Lakeland will get clear idea of it
| believe they will agree with me
and for their information ] will
make an attempt to explain how il
works and why it is best. For an
example let us suppose we are paw
inc street 20 feet wide with 10 feet
sidewalks and the blocks are 800
feet long; 800 by 20 feet amounts
to 666 2-3s square yards at $l.75 pc
square yard makes $1,166.66. d.
vide this amount among 600 linea
feet of abutting property bring tn
cost up to $1,09450 per lineal foot
to this must be added the cost of tn
intersections which is prorate
among the property owners on tn
cross streets as well as the propert
owner on the street that is bein
paved.
The intersection proper would b
20 20. These four walks from tn
pavement line to the property lin
of 10 X 20; this would make 1873 J.
square yards of paving at $1.75 pc
yard amount to $233.91. Divid
this among the property $50 fec
each way from the intersectio
makes the cost 10 IL cents pc
lineal foot of abutting property. AID
10 10 cents to the $1,094.5O wihc
brings the total cost up to $2.14 pc
lineal foot of property. Divide tn
into five annual payments. TT
property would be obliged to pa
42.S-1O cents for lineal foot per ar
nun.
1t is decidedly the best plan Il
the property owners to pay for a
the pavement as it gives them d
rect contract of the pavement TIL
is to be laid and when their street
lie paved and paid for they are finish'
s, with this cost and will not have
lie be forever taxed to pay for pavii
