NEW PROBLEMS BROUGHT OUT
IN COLLEGIATE ROWING RANKS
" WITH FINISH OF 1916 SEASON

other, but different from It in the method
OF feathering. 1t is a sculer's stroke, and
1t Is one which puts less strain on the
abdomen than the English stroke taught by
Nickalls. AS was predicted before the Yale.
Harvard race, it was a better sprinting
stroke and reserved the strength of the men
better than did the Yale boat for the final
squirt.
Herrick's work is the most notable eX-
ample OF development in American rowing
that this country has seem He produced
crew around three defeated veterans in one
year that could get more length of drive
than could Yale's, which had five veterans
In 1t, and was coached for the third time by
Nckalls 1t could sprint faster and sat It's
shell better than Yale's. 1t was as clean
and decisive n victory as any coach has ever
won, and 1t places Herrick high in American
rowing. 1t was a complete vlndicatIon of
the graduate coaching idea as well as of
American ideas over transplanted English
ones. 1t was an overwhelming defeat for
Yale and Nickals, and marks new era
in American intercollegiate rowing
The vital point in the Syracuse victory at
Poughkeepse Is the question of whether the
same methods which have marked the pro-
duction OF other intercollegiate athletic
teams are TO hold In rowing. Rowing is n
sport that has been remarkably free OF all
the problems incident to football, baseball
and track. College oarsmen have been made
from the student body with little or no
previous rowing experience. In fact when
tho candidates have rowed at preparatory
schools they nave been benefited but little.

 Joseph Poisson was before Judge Heald of the borough court Tuesday morning charged with breach of the peace and intoxioatiou. He was arrested Monday night by Chief of Police Hayes on the complaint of Enos Penny that he was creating a disturbance in West Main street. Poisson was fined $l and costs, his payment being $S.66 This is evil dence of the expressed intention of the authorities to bring to an end the disturbances that have been occurring in that section of the borough. Cornelius Curran, who said he was from Plainville, was be- fore Judge Heald the same morning on chargs of breach of the peace and intoxioation and was fined $2 on each count and costs. the total reaching $1O. 46.
 The rumor that Payson Weston is to shortly trek through New England and that he will probably pass through here has lead Charles B. Gary to come out with a challenge that will forever remove any question as to his availability, on which more or less serious reflections, he says, have been recently cast. In the event of Payson, the world-famed, journeying through this locality. MT. Gary will challenge him to a six-mile hike with a fifty minute rest at the end of each mile. There is talk that William Park may enter, seeing that he has used his pedals extensively since his big Packard was partly destroyed by fire. There is also heavy possibility that George Gary may compete with his father. Payson and MT. Park. George, it can be proven, has been practising strenuously, though secretly, of late on the old Scott trail in the rear of the Gary farm. The odds as to who will win the big event rest with Keep -agoing Gary (Oharles). as he is to have Charles Newton, the one- time bicycle speeddemon, as a hand- Ter.

 Sport followers will be glad to learn that the baseball team is not going to book out.of-town games Saturday afternoons. as threatened by Manager Clark and the members of the baseball committee not long since. The team is not going to play elsewhere on the afternoons in question because there has been decided pickup in the rs- ceipts since it first became known that there was likelihood of the team not staying in town. The failure of the fans to contribute in the necessary sum, which directly caused the deola. ration of Manager Clark, has been re- placed by the desired spirit, that of solid support of the nine. It is hoped that the fans will hereafter keep the receipts at such high mark that there will be no cause for worry as to how expenses of the nine are to be met.
 Frank Sacco, who was the foreman of the cement gang employed in put ting up the foundation of the Stafford Springs Agricultural sooiety's exhi- bition hall. dropped dead while at his work close to 2 o'clock Saturday after noon. It was thought at first by fellow-workmen that Saoco had suffered a sunstroke, and efforts to revive him were made at once. Dr. G. P. Bard was called immediately after Sacoo dropped and came within a short time. In his medical examiners report, Dr. Bard says death was due to heart disease and excessive heat. Supt. Banks of the Torrington Con- struction company here said that Sacco joined the company four and one-hah years ago in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Sacco's nearest friend, Frank Ross. of Poughkeepsie, came on here and arranged for the funeral which took place at 9 o'clock Tuesday morn- ing in the Congregational church. Rev. l.. Rees, the pastor, offioiated. Burial was in the Stafford Springs cemetery. Among the floral tributes was large wreath from fellow work men. Sacco was to have been married at the completion of work here to a girl in Newburg, N. Y, who came here to attend the funeral. He leaves relatives in Italy.

GOO punitive damages in his suit against
John E. Riechman, former sheriff of

his relatives. Harris testified that he
was not aware Of the identity of the
possemen when he resisted their efforts
to search his home. Riechman was ex-
empted from the verdict for punitive
damages, as it was shown that he was
not actually a member Of the posse.
