 Courtney, himself, is describing the wrote not long ago that it was work ed out before the Cornell eight went to England in 1895, having had it's inception in the crew room in 1894, where it was perfected by Courtney and Thomas Hall, captain and stroke of the crew in that year. Courtney wrote:
 ''I had suspected for long time that we were not getting all the pow CT out of the stroke that we ought to. One day I talked with Tom Hall about it and asked him if there wasn't some machine inS Sibley College that could be used to show us just how the power was being applied in the pull of the. oar. He said there was, the dynamometer, and he borrowed it. We rigged it on one side of the row ing machine in the crew room. It had a recording pen which marked a curve on a sheet of paper as the pow CT it measured increased or fell off.
 ttRight there I learned more in fif- teen minutes about rowing than had in fifteen years before. We found that there was break in the middle of the pull caused by a pause in the body swing at the moment the slide was started. We had been starting the leg drive after beginning the pull with the arms. The curve made by the recording pen went up and then down and then up again, showing g clearly a loss of power just before the middle of the stroke.
 ffWe experimented and found that we must start the leg drive and the body swing together at the very catch of the oar and carry them through to- gether. In that way we got a single 1e,1 <aJT1~x on T7a a wide letter U upside down, showing g that we were getting the maximum power in the middle of the stroke, where it ought to be-

 The local club is still in need of an experienced catcher and it is time something was done about this situa- ton. Moshier is a good man for sec ond catcher and should be retained for his ability as utility man and pinch hitter. A brainy backstop to sity, however. The club appears to have discovered some good pitchers and their efforts should not be allow ed to go to waste because of lack of good handling behind the bat.
 Jack Egan of this city is leading the Eastern league in hitting with a mark of .524 in eight games. Of those who have taken part in all the leader with .366. Weiser of New London is going at a .36O clip. /

 Dan Tierney, who has been playing the outfield for New Haven, was a, spectator at Newfield yesterday. He played with Bridgeport in 1914 when Jake Boultes was manager.
 Red Whalen spills more pepper than any other member of the Bridge port squad. He got his daily hit yes terday and made lots of noise on the coaching lines.
 It looks as if manager Ball has picked up some likely young hGrlers. Mulrenan, Fro and Dye have all dis tinguished themselves in recent games.
 Francis Ouimet, the famous golfer who was recently declared a profes- sional, has decided not to compete in the Massa achusetts open tourney. He had previously announced that he would compete but would not accept a cash prize if he won. The Dundee-Leonard bout in New York last night was so even that the metropolitan writers could not agree. The Sun and Press gave it to Leon ard, the Times and World awarded Dundee the honors and the American called it a draw.
 The New York writers were feeling sorry for poor Joe Tinker and his Chicago Cubs. Then the ungrateful Cubs turned on the Giants yesterday and clawed them something scan dalous.

A
 OF RING BATTLES

1913-Mike Gibbons knocked out Young Ahearn in 4th round at New York. The English battIer outboxed the St. Paul bantam for 8 rounds and clearly demonstrated that in the mat ter of cleverness he was Mikes equal, but in the 4th chapter the Irish ghost feinted Ahearn into an opening and then put over a hard right to the Englishman's fragile jaw, knocking him out. After that defeat Ahearn went to Europe and in Paris and Lon don he gained a reputation as one of the cleverest boxers of the period. On his return to America he demanded another chance at Mike, and the bout was staged in St. Paul early this year. After 1 minute and 2S seconds of fight ing Mike repeated the tactics by which he had won his earlier engage 1nent with Ahearn, and put him to sleep. Ahearn has shown a lot of class in many of his bouts. but his glass jaw prevents him from surviv- ing any hard punch to that part of his anatomy. Since then England's pugi- listic reputation has been partially re- deemed by Ted Lewis who travelled the full 10 round route with Mike Gib- bons, and thus convinced the New York fight fans that the St. Paul mid dleweight is an oyerrated institution.

MEMBER OF FORD PARTY
SAYS NATIONS WANT PEACE
Says World Would Be Surprised VI II
Were Known What Influences
Are at Work to End War.

Stockholm. Dec. 29.-The public
meeting held under the auspices of

acterized as the most enthusiastic
demonstration for peace that Europe
has seen since the war began. Near
ly a thousand citizens attended the
meeting, which was in the Academy
of Music. Every mention Of an early
end of the war provoked prolonged
applause.
When Louis p. Lochnor, secretary
OF the expedition, announced that the
executive committee had secret infOr-
nation that certain of the belligerent
nations were willing to negotiate for
peace the meeting became tumultuous.
1T would astonish the world" said
Mr.. Lochner. IF we made known at
this time what influences are at work
for peace. This information has been
in the possession of the executives
OF the expedition ever since we sailed
from New York. 1t was the real en-
enlargement behind the expedition.
We have every assurance that our
project will meet with favor, although
at this time it cannot be said just
what is behind the movement"
