One of Alexander's greatest feats dur
ing the game was the control he showed
with Maranville at the bat in the seventh
inning The count stood three balls and
no strikes when Alexander found the
plate. The Boston shortstop took two
strikes and then foued off successive
pitches before grounding to Bancroft.
This made 10 successive pitches Alex
ander sent across the center of the plate
after getting in a hole. In the fourth
inning Honey worked the Nebraskan for
three straight balls. but Alex put the
next two over and then Honey flied to

YALE AND PENN
CREWS READY
FOR DUAL MEET
First and Second Crews to
Row on Schuylkill River
Saturday Afternoon
TEST FOR WRIGHT

College rowing comes into its own this
week. on Saturday Yale and Penn
sylvania formally open the season on the
Schuylklll with races between their first
and second crews. 1t will be the most inn
portant meeting of the week for the col
legiate athletic world.
Specializing on the outcome OF early
season boat races is always futile, and
more so than ever in regard to the coming
race. At the same time the followers OF
both crews are looking forward to the
meeting with the most intense interest
and there will certainly be many i'm
portant conclusions drawn from the race.
Pennsylvania men are deeply concerned
for two reasons. First II will give them
line on the ability of Joe Wright as a
coach of college crews and, second, 1t Will
demonstrate to certain degree the wis
dom of the Spartan training regime which
Wright has installed. Wright Will not
have to prove his ability as coach, for
his long experience with the Argonaut
Rowing Club of Toronto, has demon
strated that, but this is the first time that
he has coached a college crew.

Severe Test

1t is a mighty severe test for the Cana
dian instructor He has had to take UP
the work OF another coach, with whose
methods he was not familiar, and he has
had 70 work with a lot of new men.
Wright has felt his way along carefully,
taking nothing for granted In regard to
the ability of last years veterans, AS
a result he knows pretty well what his
crews can do.
Yale comes here with veteran coach
and the majority of a crew which last
year won the intercollegiate champion
ship. Guy Nickals, a brother of last
years Pennsylvania coach. has been at
vale long enough and scored triumphs
enough to command the absolute conh-
dence of the crew and its followers. To
that extent Yale possesses distinct ad-
vantage over Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania men feel that their crew
is likely to even up Yale,s natural ad-
vantages of veteran ntdterlaf in COACH and

tested.
But the corridor door had opened
and closed and Brouillard was gone.
Two hours later Mirapolis the phre-
netic had new thrill, shock so cleo
trifying that the rumor OF the rail-
road s halting decision sank into insig-
nificance and was forgotten. The sud
denly-evoked excitement focused in a
crowd besieging the window OF the
principal jewelry shop-focussed more
definitely upon square OF white pa
per in the window in the center of
which was displayed little heap Of
virgin gold in small nuggets and coarse
grains.
While the crowds in the street were
still struggling and fighting to get
near enough to read the labelling pla-
card, the Daily Spotlight came out
with an extra which was all headlines
the telegraph wires to the East were
buZzing. and the town had gone mad
The gold specimen-so said the pla-
card and the news extra-had been
washed from one OF the bars in the
Niquoia.
BY three o'clock the madness had
eliminated in the complete stoppage
OF all work among the town builders
and on the great dam as well, and
gold-crazed mobs were frantically dig
ging and panning on every bar in the
river from the valley outlet to the
power dam five miles away.
