 Coach Courtney returned to Ithaca with the larger portion of his squad, leaving John Hoyle in charge of the freshmen. Courtney was attended by three nurses, and stated that he felt well, but dreaded the railroad trip.

 There was an unconfirmed rumor here last night that Captain John Collyer of this years varsity eight will be the first man to handle the reins of Cornell rowing under the di- rection of Courtney when he begins his duties as chief adviser coach next fall.
 Collyer still has another year to TOW, but the fact that he has been left here with Ted JamiesOn, under graduate manager, to oversee the di- rection of affairs in the Cornell camp last night and today, seems to add confirmation to the rumors.

 The logic of this statement is over thrown by the facts in the case. Last summer Bob Gardner played very little golf, entering but one one Gay tournament. John G. Anderson reVer had a golf club in his hand from June 19 up to his arrival in Detroit. Yet the two finalists were Gardner and Anderson, the two who undoubtedly had played less golf than any others of the elect.
 You may recall Hughey Keough's s definition of form. . Form" he wrote, 'Gs the brief interval between getting ready and going stale" And this brief interval, if the proper skill is there, can frequently be reached properly in a fairly short time of preparation.

New London, Conn.,, June 19.-The crews of Harvard and Yale are ready for their annual clash on the Thames river, which is to be held June 23. This years varsity eight race promises to be a spirited one from start to finish, with Harvard going across the finishing line first. Harvards show ing for the past two weeks has been satisfactory as regards smoothness. Lund, at stroke, has given the i'm pression of having again regained the form he displayed at the English Hen ley two years ago. Coach George St.

OverwOrk.

Note the difference between Eddie Plank and Ed Walsh. Plank is far below Walsh in physique and Stam- ina. His pitching lacked the ease of the Big Reel. But Plank was worked wisely. He knew about what he could stand, and from twenty-five to thirty games a year was his limit while Walsh was working from fifty tC siXty-five.
 The answer is that Plank is still a star at forty-one and Walsh is through at thirty-four. There are times,' says Fred Merkle, when you can tie the game, but you can never beat it.

Collins, Baker and McInnis.

Frank Baker, Eddie Collins and stuffy McInnis, as related before, have a combined batting average so far around .220. It has been sug- aested by several experts that Baker misses Eddie Collins, who was wont to get on frequently and thereby harass and annoy the pitcher. But low does this explain the slump of Collins and McInnis? It has also been. suggested that the three, while wonders together, miss the combined inspiration and aid when separated.
 Yet last season, while separated Collins batted around 300, with McInnis well up above the 300 mark. Ii is easy enough to understand that a pitcher who was forced to face these three men in a row, on the same club would find the com bined task beyond him. would therefore be unable to center his entire attention on any one man. This being so. why should Collins and McInnis, 100 miles apart, have moved along serenely last season as Baker spaded the yielding earth and weeded out the cnion beds?
 Here are three men who for about five years have averaged around .33O They are still young, strong, am- bilious and in good shape Why the drop to .220? There is an answer undoubtedly, but we'd rather you asked some one else We haven't even a guess

Ed. Walsh.

We often wonder how Ed Walsh feels about it; in perfect physical health, only thirty-four years old, enc of the most ambitious pitchers that ever lived, one Of the keenest for hard work, yet crowded out of the game for life because the elastic in his great arm has been worn a bit too thin.
 Walsh today should be one of the great stars of the game with three or four fine years left. It is hard enough to quit at the allotted time the appointed hour but it is hardest cf all to be forced cut through one defect that came from an over jealous loyalty and a love of the game.

And then I've seen another swing, A half baked, looping, lucky thing, A weak attempt that won the game Y ct such is fame.

COURTNEY IS FIRST
 OF NOTED TRIO ID GO
Cornell Loses Coach Who Has De-
 VelOped Many Winners

New York, June 19.-The retire ment of Charles E. Courtney, for many years crew coach at Cornell university, marks an epoch in Ameri- can intercollegiate rowing and the first break in the trio of coaches who have made Cornell victorious in recent years on water track and gridiron. No coach ever achieved greater fame in his chosen line of athletic instruc tion or developed winning combina- tiOns with greater frequency and con- sistency than Courtney. While he will still be available in an advisory capac- ity and has a worthy successor in John Hoyle, should the Cornell au- tn critics decide to continue the latter in his present capacity, the dean of all crew mentors has hung up his coach ing megaphOne for the last time.
 Courtney's retirement was not en- tirely unexpected for the "Old Man, as he has been affectionately termed at Ithaca for some years, has been in poor health since he sustained a frac- tured skull on June 12, 1915. The ac- cident occurred while he was enroute to POughkeepsie with the Cornell crews and was caused by Courtney be- ing thrown violently against a berth following a lurch of the fast travelling train. The Cornell coach has been under the care of physicians ever since and while his condition has i'm proved to some extent the word has gone forth that he must give up fur ther coaching and spend the rest of his life quietly.
 Cornell Good to Him.
 Born in 1S48, Courtney is in his six ty-eighth year and after his many seasons of competition as an anna teur and professional Oarsmen and his later reign as coach at Cornell, his friends and medical advisors feel that he has richly earned the quiet and re- tirement which he requires. Thanks to the generosity of the Cornell alum nj and undergraduates, Courtney is re- moved from any financial worries or cares. He owns outright a handsome home and grounds at Ithaca, overlook ing Cayuga Lake, the gift of Cornell men, in addition to comfortable competency. There he will be found in future ready to advise and assist from his great store of rowing knowl- edge and experience, those who will take up the burden he has laid down.
 Cornell rowing auth critics are at the present time uncertain as to the exact coaching system and meth ods that will be adopted for the crews of coming years but whatever the system or the coaches, it will be hard for Courtney's successors to impOve or even duplicate his record. The ca- reer of Courtney as a coach and Cor nell as premier rowing university of America are so interwoven that it js difficult to consider one without the other or to aDpOrtiOn credit.
 Since the formation of the Inter collegiate Rowing association in 1895, Cornell has competed in every one of the tWenty-one fOur-mile champion ship races, winning thirteen, finish ing second four times and third four
