COACH WRIGHT
MAKES A SHIFT
IN PENN CREWS
Three Varsity Men Sent to
Second Boat in Yester-
days Workout

That Coach Wright Is far from satisfied
with the lineup of the varsity crew, was
demonstrated yesterday, when he sent three
of the oarsmen to the Junior eight and
shifted the remaining ones to other seats.
Wright has been experimenting with va.
rious combinations since the Henley race,
and as yet has not gotten together the one
which Is entirely satisfactory to him.
Littleton, CLAM and Medeira were sent to
the second crew, while Gotham, who has not
been feeling very we'll for the last week,
will be given several days rest In which to
recuperate. Chickering, Ross and Pepper
were switched to other seats in the boat.
Captain Chickerlng went back to the bow
position, while Wirkman was advanced to
his place in the No. seat Ross, the stroke,
was put into the No. position his place
being taken by Drayton, stroke OF the
juniors. Pepper, the No man. took the
No. seat. Tilden of the juniors, took
Gotham's place at No. 3. Guenther was
sent to No 8 to fill the vacancy caused by
Pepper
In the junior boat Littleton was placed
at stroke Littleton stroked the varsity
several years ago in several of the races,
B., that he has had a little experience at
the position. Wright took all three, crews
up the river, giving them instructions to
use n &c stroke. The new varsity COM
bination seemed to work fairly we'll to-
gether, but in all probability the seating
arrangement is still far from settled. The
varsity rowed as follows: Bow Chicken

JUNIOR LEAGUE
TEAMS TO MEET
in FINAL MATCH
Penn Charter Youngsters
and Germantown Academy
in Final Match Today
By WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd

Today will see the climax of the closest
race any tennis league ever has seen in
this city. In the Junior Interacademic
League, organized this season and playing
a schedule corresponding to the lnteraca-
demtc League itself, Germantown Academy
and Penn Charter are tie, with only the
last meeting of these two schools yet to
be played.
The Junior Interacademic League has
met with the approval of the whole tennis
world of Philadelphia. 1t was indorsed at
the last meeting of the Philadelphia and
District Lawn Tennis Association. This
body, which is boosting junior tennis around
@the city in every possible way, considers
the league as n most important step in
the right direction of opening competitive
play to young boys.
Episcopal, Penn Charter and German
town deserve praise for their work, but it
is to Friends Central that the greatest
credit should go. This school, with un-
falling good craftsmanship has played all
it's matches and laid n foundation for its
next years team that should result in put
ting this school very near the top at the
close of 1917 season.
The boys show prospects of developing
quickly and, with the volley board in the
gymnasium next winter and under the
coaching of Professor Moore and Mr.. Rex,
assisted at times by Mr.. Gibbons and Mr..
Tilden the boys should make rapid strides.
The Individual stars of the league this
season are Pennock, Myers and Sherrard, of
Penn Charter; Harper, Wiener and Kolb.
of Episcopal, and Beard Smith Beck and
Jelett of Germantown. These boys all have
played good tennis and consistently showed
development.
The Individual Junior League tournament
will start June 8 saturday. at Mannheim.
Each school may enter four boys who have
played at least one-half the seasons
matches The tournament will be played
on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday, June
3, 8 and g. All matches 2 out of except
the finals, which will be out of SETS

both In the morning and afternoon, but

nevertheless. Spencer d. Wright Jr.. was
tied for low score In the morning round, but

no trouble about sliding into second place,
the Main Liners being the other team to

to put all Its stars in the field and as
result was beaten rather badly for a place
by a total of 3S strokes The team made a
frantic and game effort to get in the rum
Ming when the disastrous morning round
was cut down by 35 strokes.

most interesting in years, and enthusiasm

good chance to worst the present champions.

Ten Leading Questions.

!. Why is Wall street for Hughes ?
?. Why is the German vote for
Hughes?
3. Why are the great financial in
terests that are still plotting to substi-
tute a central bank for the Federal
reserve system for Hughes?
4. Why are the tariff monopalists
who dictated the schedules of the re-
pudiated payne-Aldrich tariff for
Hughes?
8. Why are the chief opponents of
American neutrality for Hughes?
6. Why are the advocates of arm
cd Intervention and war with Mexico
for Hughes?
Z. Why are the trusts for Hughes
s. Why are the champions of mill
tary conscription for Hughes?
3, Why are all the elements of
political reaction and political Bour-
bonism for Hughes2
10. Why is every enemy of indus
trial. financial and corporation reform
for Hughes?
The foregoing questions have been
repeatedly asked by The New York
World. yet up.to.date there have been
no denials from any quarter mem

Edison And The Law.

Thomas Edison, one of the greatest
inventors the world has. ever known,
criticises the way the law is admins
tered in our courts. As is well known
he has suffered much at the hands of
| courts. One of his suits to compel
Jay Gould to keep a contract was pro-
longed for 40 years. Here is what Mr..
Edison says of the law:
There is no justice in law. If has
resolved itself into technicalities and
formulas. A case will be thrown out
of one court and carried into another:
it will be sent back on writs and ad-
yanced arguments, and banded back
and forth more for the exercise OF lie.
gal practice than for the attainment
of justice. Where an important case
might be settled in a sh ,rt time by tho
use of common sense i will BE- pro
longed for years through the techni
cality of Jurisprudence, the whole
course of which defeats the object
sought"
The Cincinnati Enquirer in COM
menting on the statement of Mr.. Edi-
son says
When it is understood that Edison
has been called upon to defend prac-
tically all of his great inventions at
an enormous expense and through
great tribulation, his severe language
will be forgiven. Upon his own state
ment he lost the German rights to his
carbon transmitter through the inser-
ton of comma, which entirely chang
ed the Interpretation of the patent. 1t
Is not against law he inveighs, but
rather against it's Interpretation by
the courts and their officers, which
term includes lawyers. Nor is he
alone in his bitter comment. Only
last week a judge of the common
pleas court at the capital declared
from the bench that questions which
delayed for four years an accounting
with the city of Columbus by public
service corporation might have been
answered off hand by any bystander,
even though a lavman.
with his marvellous brain and his
long and varied experience with the
administration of the law the wizard
of invention might, if set himself to
task, produce a system of practice
which would eliminate the evils of
which he complains"

Funston says. has inaugurated a regu-
lar carnival Of lies, and he declares
that he has never seen or heard of
anything that approaches It for sheer
maliciousness and shamelessness.
While there are honorable excep-
tiong," says General Funston, "many
OF these correspondents are men of no
judgment or balance, and have so lit

seem to have no sense Of balance or

into the most distressing stories.
They persistently neglect to say any
thing about the excellent and credi-
table things that they see, and If they
can see nothing with which to find
fault they manufacture lies out of
whole cloth. The effect is to distress
needlessly the families and friends of
members of the state organizations
and to make other nations think we

dies. | have endured these pests as
long as | propose to, and shall here

ers who would rather tear down with

are, every war or approach to war
