New York, April 1.-The local market for raw sugar was firm and while there was no particular interest shown today the tendency was upward with holders asking sl1kht advances over bids.

 In refined there were fair inquiries re- ported from exporters at 6.1Oc f. O. b. New York, and it was generally believed that further moderate quantities were sold at that figure. The district demand was fair and there were good withdraw als on old contracts. Prices were firm and unchanged at 7.15c to 725c for fine granulated

Reports from Ithaca state that the
new electric flash-light SYSTEM recent
ly installed upon the Cornell rowing
machines, for the purpose of timing
the stroke of the individual OarSmen,
is proving an excellent help in the
coaching of the crews. The device
as now working consists of series Of
tiny electric bulbs, red one and a
white one in front Of each Oarsman,
with a set of eight together, one re-
presenting each rover, in front of the
entire combination The lights flash
on only during the forward stroke Of
the oars.
Change Alternately.
Pulling the stroke oar OF the COM
bination, number 8, lights all of the
white lights down the row and the
one representing stroke in the group
in front of the combination. Then as
each of the other oars is pulled the
individual red lights, together with
the given one in the front group, flash
on. Exact correspondence of action
between the red and white lights in
front of any oarsman shows that he
is in time with the stroke. Exact cor
respondence Of the eight lights Of the
group shows that the entire combina
ton is rowing in perfect regularity.
Although the entire mechanism is a
novelty and worked out now for the
first time, the coaches expect marked
assistance from it in developing the
perfect regularity necessary to first
class crew With the lights to indi-
cate 1T a glance the exact timing Of
any man in relation to the stroke, the
coaches will be able to devote almost
their entire attention to perfecting the
oarsmen individually in necessary
points of form and style and will not
have to devote the time formerly ne
cessary to watching the combinations
| rhythm.

to his belief that eventually Thorpe
would master the art of hitting a

decided to give him another chance

Left Wing Was Improvement.
There the redman was persuaded to
try batting left-handed when he went
to the plate and at once a decided i'm
provement was noticed in his hitting.
In his new position he showed ability
to connect with the best of the early
spring curves and his ADMIRERS have
taken hope. If it is demonstrated
that Thorpe, batting left-handed, can
land on the ball with his heavy black
war club. there is a place for him

Dillon, was added TO the champions
| sparring corps.
Wizards behavior through the nine
rounds satisfied the railbirds that the
champion is quite prepared for ten
round tilt.
The wise counsel of head trainer,
Willie Lewis, could not prevail upon
Frank Moran to rest his hands. The
heavyweight challenger felt so well
that after five-mile turn crOss-cOun-
try in the morning, that he insisted
upon donning the mitts for light work
during the afternoon. He used Bill
Mckennon fof two rounds and Frank
Kendall and BARLEY Madden for one
round each.
On the advice Of Lewis, however,
Madden took no chances on injuring
his hands. His sparring was aimed
solely at the Improvement of speed.

Freddie Welsh's title, predicts a great
boxing boom as result of The coming
fight between Willard and Moran.
in my opinion it is bound to be a
| grand BATTLE said Johnny as he
watched Big Jess training, ''and a real
heavyweight scrap is the kind of tonic
needed to stimulate the sport.
"Whom do pick?" he asked "Well,

Jim Thorpe the Indian
Lost Honors in Baseball
Gained in Stockholm
New System of Flashlights to Help Oarsmen Pull Together in
Rowing Shells Has Been Adopted by Cornell
University.

New York, March 1S.--Jim Thorpe,
the Sac and Fox Indian, Olympic prize
winner and one of the greatest foot
ball players that cversdonned gridiron
armor, is making his last stand on the
major league baseball diamond. With
out question one of;he greatest ath-
letes ever developed in America or in
any other portion Of the world,
Thorpe has made name for himself
in track and field sports, lacrosse,
football and college baseball. 1t was
not until he undertook 10 play the lat
ter game in the big leagues that he
found a sport wherein he failed to
shine with his accustomed brilliancy.
Could See the Curves.
Fresh from his Olympic trumphs
at Stockholm and the subsequent SEN
sational stripping away Of these hon
ors by the Amateur Athletic Union on
the charge that he was a professional,
Thorpe was signed TO play with the
New York National League club by
Manager John j. McGraw. From the
very beginning the redskin athlete
ran like deer in the outfeld and on
the bases, felded well but was abso-
lutely helpless before the curved
pitching of the big league box stars.
Given a straight ball across the
heart of the plate, Thorpe with his
powerful arms and shoulders could
and did lift the bali over the center
fielder's head with great regularity.
The trouble was that the pitcher new
err made such a mistake but once.
Thereafter Thorpe got nothing but
curved pitching and the Indian swung
on the slants in vain.
The Indian drjfted from the major
league to the minors and even there
his helplessness at the plate caused
