NJ RACE JUNE Y
 SAY PENN DEANS
OarSmen Will Not Be Permitted to
 Row on That Date

Philadelphia, Pa, March 11-It
 became known here yesterday that
 the University of Pennsylvania faculty
 has refused to sanction the date of
 June for the intercollegiate rega tta
 at Poughkeepsie, owing to the exami-
 nations which are held here at that
 time. This places the board of
 Stewards of the intercollegiate re-
 gatta in dilemma as to the date for
 the big college race.
 R. Howard Eisenbrey, chairman of
 the rowing committee of the Univer-
 Sity, tried in vain to swing the local authorities over so that the race
 would be held June r. He left for, New York city yesterday afternoon for a conference with Morton G. Rogue of Columbia University, the Columbia representative on the board Of stewards.
 T am sorry we cannot hold the re- gatta on June IT, said Chairman Eisenbrey. T had hoped to fix things l'p, but it is now certain that the Penn faculty will not permit the big Tace on that date at least so for as We are concerned. It will probably be held around June 24 and if possible at Poughkeepsie
 It was suggested that we row up stream at Poughkeepsie on June 24. This is hardly feasible It would be impossible to get proper facilities for the spectators if we tried out this plan," continued MT. Eisenbrey. "The railroads have agreed to the plan of \ running an observation train on June 29, which is a concession in our favor.
 If we schedule the race for June Z9 1t must be held on that date and the railroad will not agree to a post pChement. There are difficulties i about this date, too, for at f o'clock l the water is rough, and if the varsity l race is held at o'clock, the fresh 1 men and junior varsity races would 1 have to be keld at ? and 3 o'clock. 1 when 1t is likely to be windy. We l Will soon come to soN1e decision as to the date and place for the race.
 T have been to see almost every Gean Tn the university. The heads of rhe departments have refused to ar range Tor the oarsmen to ike the ex- ! Rmlnauons either before or after the ! scheduled time for them, or to per- mt professor to go to Poughkeepsie. ] as has been done in former years. to give the men the examinations. The ] fnal examinations take place the first ] TWO weeks of June, during which ! time 1t would be necessary to have the ! f three eights at the scene of the races !
 It is true that the faculty has not acted on the matter as a body, but the refusal of the deans means prac- | tlcaIly the same thing. Another date must be set for the race either a week or two later. As to what day l the regatta will be held I cannot state atF present, although I am going to sndeavor to fix things up tomorrow morning.

Although the members of the New were not in Columbus; New Mexico, recently when General Villa and his band entered the Good Old U. s. A., each and every mem Der of the quin- tet are acquainted with the meaning of slaughter, having undergone the thrilling experience last evening in Naugatuck. With prem editation and malice aforethought, the boys repre- senting the institution of learning in the Rubber Town, waded through, trampled on, and crushed the locals on the basketball court, score 35 to 15. The Hardware City boys were never in the running, the work of Leary, ct. al. mystifying them ct times.
 Slim Bachulus the elongonated slat, playing the role of center for the locals, was the only player who met with much success at tossing field goals, accommodating three during the play, (just think of it. three.) while Parker shot two, which completed a healthy evenings work for an al- legged basketball team. Breckenridge tossed the remainder of the beloved" Is points from the foul line.

Some one has said there is very little romance or sentiment left in baseball
 What about the case of Roger Peckinpaugh, captain of the revised and reedited Tanks?
 When Roger was a youngster of ten he had one hero. This hero was a ball player, and Roger worshipped him from afar, but with increasing devotion. When the price of hleacher seat was not available the youngster took his place at an es- pecially constructed l1nothole to fol- low this player in his work in the field and at bat Roger, the young ster, used to wonder where rare for tune would ever give him the oppor- tunity to meet this hero Of his. That he considered one of his main life ambitions.
 Ten years later Roger was playing side by side with this hero of his Ecyhood days in a big league. For the stars name was Napoleon Lajoie.

The Case of the Cubs.

If Joe Tinkers Cubs finish among the first three this season they will surprise any number of ball players and more than one keen-visioned manager.
 Joseph himself has expressed great confidence in his ability to finish first But ball players and managers to whom we have talked will be sur prised to see the Cubs even in the first division. The figure that Braves, Giants, Dodgers and Phillies will all finish in front of tthe Weeghman ma ckine This general opinion is based upon the belief that the Cubs have a weak infield and only an ordinary outfield, with a world of uncertainty attached to the pitching of Seaton and Hendrix, who dropped well back last summer

BASEBALL BRIEFS.

Manager William F. Carrigan of the Boston American league baseball team, the worlds champions, left Bos- ton yesterday with the first squad of players for the training camp at Hot Springs, Ark. The party included Olaf Henrlksen, substitute outfielder; Harold Janvrin, general utility man. and Charles l. Anderson, formerly of Lehigh university, who will try for a position as pitcher. Pitchers McCabe McHale, Ruth and Pennock and Catchers Thomas and Haley, the lat ter a recruit from the Providence In ternational league team, were expect ed to join the squad at Albany.

nearly every batter that steps to the plate" says Jennings. While l like to have a pitcher take shot at the batter if the latter is croWding things too close, I do not believe that hurlers should act deliberately in attempting to injure their opponents
 Detroit will carry eight pitchers this season. Dauss, Coveleskie and James are, of course, sure of their places. Dubuc, the veteran, is up against the fine test this spring, while Lowder- milk and Bland are also reasonably certain to be retained. Jennings hopes to have two capable lefthanders: this means McTigue, Oldham and Smith son are in the race for the extra place. Erickson, because of the price paid for him, $5, 900 and the praises sound ed in his favor, stands a good chance of being retained.
 Manager Louis Pieper of the Lynn club announces the following as his squad for the coming season:
 Pitchers, Williams, Brennan, Mar tin, Jewett, Tuero, Rettig, Schwartz Whitaker; catchers, Haight Foster, Masterman, Freer; infielders, Demo- vile, lib; Gleason, 3b: Mccarthy, 2b; Ordway, 3b; Prysock. ss; Lynch, ss; outfielders, Orcutt, Porter, Ma1oney, Tierney. Everett, Nutter
 Frank Schulte's excuse for tardiness at the Cubs training camp was satis~ factory to Manager Tinker who rein stated him yesterday in the regular lineup, according to dispatch from m "a hn pleaded that examinations at the col lege he attends at Baldwin, Kan, i7ad delayed him, and he too was par doned.
 Benny Kauff, surrounded by Secre- tary John B. Foster of the Giants and fifty-tWO willow bats, left the Penn sylvania station yesterday for Marlin. Texas. kauff had finally come to terms with the New York club and his recOmpense; although not announced officially, is said to be s6,0O0 year with a 5000 bonus. If he comes up to expectations he will be liberally treated by the New York club, but like the other players ne must go through the routine of development and disci- pline.
 Before leaving here, kauff again ex- pressed his optimistic confidence in himself and said that he would surely be a surprise to Manager McGraw.

 This is well above the Jefferies- Johnson weight combination, as that was a modest 442.

STUDENTS GOT THEIR MEAL
Chinese Ambassador Furnished 1t to
Sons of Mandarins, Though Not by

An amusing anecdote of the first

Chinese government studying in Paris,
mostly the sons of mandarins, accord

suddenly destitute Of funds, applied to
their ambassador and their consulate

Finally as a last resort 60 hungry
students literally forced their way
into the embassy, devoured the appe-
tizing meal which had already been
served in expectation of his excel
lency and ended by raiding the pantry.
While they were thus occupied the
ambassador returned, but being told
by the concierge what was happening
inside he decided that prudence was
the better part of valor. Accordingly
he retired to a nearby restaurant and
telephoned to the police.
There is nothing Partisan enjoys

USE GAS TO PRESERVE FOOD
French Process Is Especially Adapted
for Milk Powder-Operation
Declared Simple.

A method has lately appeared in
Europe for preserving various food or
other products. and especially milk
powder, the idea being based upon
placing the substance in sealed yes
sci or packing case with inert gas, so
that this latter prevents the usual
spelling of contents by the action of
the air In the French patented
process, the milk powder is packed in
metal boxes of convenient size which
are entirely sealed except for pin
hole that is left at the top. A number
of such boxes is put in a chamber
and the air is exhausted by means of
an air pump. When this operation is
finished. valves are opened which al
low nitrogen to enter the chamber and
fill up the several boxes. Then, open
ing up the chamber, the boxes are
quickly removed and the pin hole sold
cred before an appreciate amount OF
air has time tc enter In this way the
contents of the boxes are kept in an
atmosphere of inert gas, and the
process is most practical from an in
