Habit and Environment,

Habit and environment also have their share along sportive ways. On the average you can take first class batsmen and drop them with the White Sox or Yankees and in about two weeks they will forget how to swing. These clubs have always been light hitting machines and the habit of the old days seems to at tack newcomers.
 On the other wing down at Wash irgton Clark Griffith can get pretty good pitching out of any man he finds. Neither the Giants or Tigers have any trouble about getting hit ters. Ball players come to these two clubs and begin to hit about the time they get settled.
 But Jennings can't get any pitch ing no matter where he goes or what stars he brings to camp. Here is an instance at hand-Lee Magee last season in the Fed circuit outbatted McKechnie over 60 points, But Magee with the Tanks is under 200 and McKechnie with the Giants, after 9, lean, hitless start, is now 60 points Eeyond Magee.

 Junior Eights-1, Columbia; 2, Syracuse; 3, Cornell; 4, Pennsylvania.
 Freshman Eights-1, Cornell; 2, Columbia; 8, Pennsylvania; 4, Syra- cuse. ~
 The courses are numbered from the west shore of the Hudson. Tn rough water course No. 1 is the best, but on a calm day course No. 3 is regard ed as the best. The varsity race will not be rowed until 6 D. m.. at the earliest, so the prospect for a finish in the dark is very bright. The late start is made mandatory because of the tide. The junior eights will be started at D. m., and the freshman eights at 5:15 p. m.
 For the first time in many years there wifi be only four starters in the varsity race. Syracuse will have a crew in the junior race as well as the other two events.

Tanks With Cullop Going Fine Beat Browns-Sox and Senators in Long Battle to a Tie.

New York, May 26.-Two ex-out- laws Nicholas Cullop and Robert Groom, began the pitching at the Polo grounds yesterday afternoon1 Nicholas who though he was an out law once, is a mild hammered and smiling citizen now, was there when the game finished, but Groom tum- bled by the wayside. The Yankees won, to 5, and Groom was deleted at the half way stage.
 The Browns made large number of hits off Cullop, but a combination of circum stances, including outs be- tween smacks, double plays and the fact that the Yankees took a com fortable lead early, took the sting out of the St, Louis hitting and per mitted Cullop to amble along without straining himself. The oJnes-Browns had the biggest collection of former Feds Cullop has pitched against this year. but if they knew how to hit Nick he knew how to make that hit ting innocuous. The score:
