PENN OARSMEN
ARE HEAVIEST in
COLLEGE RANKS
Turner, Red and Blue Fresh
man, Tips the Beam at
1914 Pounds
OTHER BIG ATHLETES

PoUGHKEEPSIE N Y, June lO--Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania this year has won
the distinction of producing the tallest and
heaviest college oarsmen in the last decade.
without exception followers of the big
regatta which will be held over the Pough-
keeDsie- Highland course on June H. are
ready to admit that w. j. NJ Turner, row.
ing at No. in the Pennsylvania freshman
eight, is the bulkiest specimen Of an under
graduate oarsman ever seen on the Hudson.
When the eagerly awaited and important
statistics Of all the crews entered in the
big rowing classic were announced today
by the managers at the various crew train
ing quarters, the name of this Philadelphia
freshman was in a class by itself Whereas
college oarsi1en in the varsity shells work
best at weight of l7O pounds and whereas
the exception has been men ten pounds
heavier, Turner tips the scales at 1874
pounds, But he carries his weight well
and has the so-called ideal build" Of an
oarsman He stands six feet five inches
tall Moreover, the next starboard oars
man in the Pennsy freshman boat Is p
Newton. who looms sllyward for n distance
of six feet four inches, and between these
two young giants sits little Percy Glen
dennlng, youngster of 158 pounds and
with height OF five feet eight inches.
AS usual, the weights of the three Cor
nell shells this year are far and above those
of the competitors in the race. In the
Varsity the Ithacans have n combined
average of l70B pounds and on the other
hand, Columbias crews have the custom
airy place as lghtest crew, with an even
l64-pound average. In the Junior class
Cornell again is ahead OF all others with a
weight average of 1863 1916 pounds. Penn
sylvania is second as in the varsity class
Syracuse third, and Columbia fourth, with
scant 162-pound net average. Cornell's
freshmen are also the heaviest, with an
even 170-pound average Syracuse beats
out Pennsylvania for second honors by
quarter of pound and Columbia is low for
the third time. with 1853 pounds.
Columbia partly makes up for these de-
ficiencies by reason of the height average
In the Varsity and freshman divisions the
Light Blue and White has the talest crew
and in the junior class Pennsylvania holds
this distinction.

The Case of the Braves
In 1914 when Stallngs won the pennant
his club was away to one of the worst
starts on record. The Braves that year
won only three out of the first eighteen
games and were still bad last in July.
In 1915 Stnllings expected to get away
to a flying start, when Evers' injury and
Bill James detection again threw him by
the wayslde, so far back that his late sea-
son rally fell short.
This spring when we saw Stallings down
South he was full of condolences that his
Braves at last would get the ,i aesireu anu a,l
long delayed flying start, The Miracle
citizen believed that he had met every
emergency and that he had the stuff to
travel with
We happen to know that the Giants
Phillies and Dodgers all figure the Braves
as the one club to beat Yet here June is
aying along and the Braves still are strug-
Cling back in the old rut, unable, for some
reason, TO hit the clip which they expected
to show. Stallings is getting good pitch
ing but his club isn't batting. 1t now Is
registered only a notch above .9S5, which
isn't husky enough TO get very far. Yet
the material Is there and 1t is merely a
question once again as to when the Braves
will open their flag campaign.
The New Arrivals
This has been fairly tough season for
the two present kings of the mound. Both
Johnson and Alexander have been unable to
keep pace with two youngsters who now are
setting a merry clip Johnson has been

Both Morton and Mamaux pitched well
enough last season to prove they are well
beyord the fiulSe stage If their ball clubs
holds up they now have better than an even
chance TO beat the two big stars to the
final wire.
At Home and Abroad

clubs could win on the road and when 1t

was considered something akin to dis
grace to lose many games at home.
Apparently that epoch Is past. The West
ern clubs In the National League all have
been doing better in the East than they did
at home. And the Giants have found it far
easier to achieve glory on the road. At
present McGraws club has road percent
age around .770. You might figure that
n ball club good enough to win 20 out Of 26
games on the road would have strength
enough to be a dozen lengths to the good.
But while playing at a 40 pace abroad the
Giant home record Is still below 200. We
hope that you don't ask for an answer to
this queer, quaint shift, for we don't happen
TO have 1t In stock.

Cubs VS.. Giants
1t has been a good many years since
the Giants and Cubs were pehnant rivals
Where each was gnawing at the others
throat. Not since 1911, anyway.
Yet such is tradition. From 1905 to
1911 these two clubs generally were neck
and neck in the days when Christy Math-
ewson was accustomed to give battle to
Miner Brown That tradition has still
held and when the Cubs and Giants meet
much of the old pep is still at hand Early
this spring Tinker looked to have one of
the worst clubs in the league. But the
once star shortstop has worked long and
hard and at last he has a machine that
no rival is taking lightly. The fact that
Heinie Zimmerman is having one of his
best years with the big mace has helped
more than a trihe while Schultz who fell
away last summer, is back again at a
higher plane than ne has known for sew
era campaigns. The Cubs also are getting
better pitching than they were able to get
for the first month and the combinations
has made them into a first class ma
chine.
We have no idea how Hal Chase and
Charley Herzog viii get along later but
just at present Hal is entirely too busy
annoying pitchers to fool with any one
else.

PENN JUNIORS TO ROW
INSTEAD OF THE VARSITY
Big Shake-up Among Oarsmen at
Poughkeepsie

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 1O.-The
Penn Juniors are TO row the four-mile
varsity race. This was announced yester-
day afternoon. and 1t caused considerable
surprise among the rowing enthusiasts on
the Hudson. This decision of Coach
Wright's came as a result of another de-
feat OF the varsity at the hands of the
juniors in time trial over the course yes
terday morning The juniors covered the
distance in 90 minutes s2ls seconds which
is good time, considering that the wind was
against them, though there was favorable
tide The varsity trailed the second crew
by four lengths and thereby ceased to be
called the varsity crew.
Last Wednesday the varsity received
their first taste Of what the juniors could
show in a line of speed. That time the
second crew was held in the rear for a
mile. but then forged TO the front and in
creased their lead all the way to the finish.
Yesterday however 1t was the juniors
race all the way. They kept a lengths
lead, and did not let out until the last mile,
then taking things in their own hands
