COLLEGE COACHES TO
SIT ON BENCH AGAIN
big Three" Revoke Order That
Banished Them to Stand.

PRINCETON. ". j.. May Iz-From
now on In all the championship base
bail games among Princeton, Yale and
Harvard the professional coach OF each
team will be allowed to remain on the
bench and direct the play. The advisory
baseball committees at a recent meeting
In New York came to this decision,
which Is TO 20 into effect this spring,
according to the announcement made
here today.
The banishment OF the coaches from
championship games failed to meet the
approval of the authorities. Conse-
uuently when the three captains met
last spring they petitioned their respec-
tive athletic committees to have the
rule changed. but no results were forth
coming until this action was taken.
A communication from a member OF
the Yale advisory committee states:
Lauder win coach the Yale team to
play its own game and to do its own
thinking and not make the players mere
puppets run by him. such practice as
having the PLAYERS. while at bat or else
where. constantly looking to the bench
for signals and instructions will not be
In evidence. The Yale coach will act as
a teacher and adviser and will be pres
ent on the bench to give the team the
benefit Of his judgment and experience
when point comes up or a situation
arises In a game"
This attitude is identified with that
taken by Harvard and Princeton. Sam
ford b, white, captain of the Princeton
team OF four years ago. states that hav-
Ing the coach on the bench to size up
plays and situations which ofttimes es-
cane the attention Of the college cap
ball. and more than anything else
turned defeat into victory.

to Hermann mentioning this fact and
been written by him. His reply was a.
follows:
mo such letter as you refer to in
your telegram written by me to Hickey
or any one else. No decision in sisler
case, because evidence to warrant find-
ing has not been submitted.
AUGUST HERMANN"
The argument being one that Affects
both leagues. the rules of baseball call
for the chairman OF the commission
Hermann, to make the decision. Herr
mann has had ample time to decide. He
has had the case since June. 1sl4-two
years saving one month-and still he

furnish positive proof that Slsler is the
Pittsburgh clubs property. But in order
to furnish this proof he would have to
expose certain parties to censure.

Sixteen Men Suspected of "Making Book" Barred

Some Live Topics You'll Read.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

The American League has ever set
its grim yisage against gambling on
diamond dolngs. and undoubtedly
the simultaneous arrival OF Ban
johnson in New York and the bar
ring Of sixteen men from the Polo
Grounds mean something. II means.
for one most important thing. that
the American League Is not going
back on it's old policies.
Ban johnson before now has stop
ped the "do's-and-dont's" from oper-
ating at American League games.
These pests of the third base and
first base paviltons were arrested
In dozens in Boston a couple Of
years ago. and effectually driven
from the ball park. They have been
driven away from Comiskey Park
in Chicago. Now they have been
refused admittsnce to the Polo
Grounds while the Yankees are per-
forming.
One fthe surest ways to elevate
any sport Is to give It a reputation
for being entirely ION the level" The
surest way to kill It is to let talnt
fail upon It's honesty.
Horse racing died because Of OBJ
1ectionable methods used by its
promoters. 1t Is struggling now to
return on a better basis.
Boxing has fallen in the esteem of
the sport world for exactly the same
reason. High dives to get the
money" have ruined many followers
of the ring game.
Wrestling. from q pure sporting
proposition. has become mere exhi-
bition sport requiring strength,
agility. and endurance.

The Henley Regatta.

Tomorrow the annual Henley re-
gatta will be rowed on the schuylkili
at Philadelphia, and oarsmen every
where will watch for the results.
In some ways this Henley regatta
is the best staged in the country.
The little tin between Yale and Har-
ward on the Thames is a mere family
affair. The Poughkeepsie regatta is
better than the Thames race, having
more entries, but the real one Is the
Henley regatta at Philadelphia.
Sixteen crews will row tomorrow on
the schuylkill Now that's providing
some real racing. Cornell Is the only
Eastern college supporting rowing
uprepresented.

as important In this country as the

ONE FAMILY HELPED

What the United Charities OF Keo-

week, is what 1t might mean to many
others through more perfect co-opera-
ton. This manless home was found
to be the shelter of poverty which
was sapping out the very life and
soul OF good, Woodworking woman,
a woman who in her younger days,
knew none of the drudgery of life. 1t
was also leaving unerasable marks on
the two children who were often
without proper food and more often
went to school without any.

ness man they were supplied with coal

ans health. This was supplied by
one of the professional men. The
owner Of the house in which the fam
lily live gave them boost by not ask
ing rent for while. One of the
churches sent some temporary relief
in the way of provisions. A little tenn
porary work was given by good
housewife. Last and best of all, the
woman was found an opportunity for
regular employment where she could
support her family. A relative was
persuaded to look after the children
after school hours. Eight people
who wanted to do something for their
less fortunate nefghbors, through the
United Charities, were given the OPP
portuntty OF helping in just the way
they wished and family was helped
on its feet through cooperation,
without burdening any one person.
II you have some pet charity, some
particular line along which you would
rather work, get In touch with the
general secretary of the United Chart
ties. He can help you place your
gifts and use your talents where they
will do the most good. If you do not
believe in salaries, but want your
money used directly for some poor
family, let the secretary know about
it. The United Charities needs mon
ey for food, fuel and the like and
could use to advantage, thousand
dollars. Who is going to be the first
to give generously to this fund?
