OARSMEN NOW FLYERS.
Many College Crew Members in
the Aviation Corps.

New York, July 2o.-It is surprising
the number Of past and present col
lege crew men who have enlisted in
the government military service for
the war.
Many have entered the aviation
service, and several have made note
worthy records already. As this serv-
ice requires the strongest kind of
hearts and sound nerves, the success
of so many crew men as aviators
ought to disprove the oft-accepted i'm
preston that rowing ruins the hearts
of college men.
oliver Filley, the famous Harvard
crew captain of a few years back, is
an officer in the English aviation
corps, and has done remarkable serv-
ice in France. He is to be transferred
to the American service. Now two
Yale crew captains, Seth Low, of the
1916 crew. and Cord Mayer. of the dis
banded 1917 crew, have received COM
missions as first lieutenants in the
Aviation Corps in the United States
army. A number Of Penn men now
are training for this service, as well
as at least three Cornell crew men. =

M'GRAW'S CASE UP
TO LEAGUE HEADS
YESTERDAYS RESULTS.

New York. July 2o-The board of
directors of the National League is
going to apply large quantities of
whitewash to John McGraw, of the
Giants, for reputation the now fam
ous Tener interview. If today's final
hearing Of the charges, pressed by
the New York baseball writers against
the Giant chleftain. is any criterion.
After DIR. Frank H. Finley, Nc
Graw's friend from Pittsburg," had
denied that "Mugsy" had ever said
a sassy thing about the revered pre-
sident of the National League and
several other witnesses had locked
horns over what McGraw had or had
not said. the whole matter was turn
ed over to the leagues board of direct
ors for consideration.
Just what this consideration" will
be. even John X. Tener himself does
not know. Mr.. Tener said he was
glad the writers had been given op-
portunity to be heard and that the
board would have a meeting within
ten days, probably in New York, to
determine what is to be done.
What possible action is open to the
board-or will 1t censure McGraw?'
Mr.. Tener was asked.
1T can report its findings and I do
not care to make guesses in advance
what the finding will be-" the national
president replied.
McGraw also stated that he had
nothing to say"
OF course none of the league direct
ors present would admit the warpaint
had been rubbed of or that the
hatchets intended for the field leader
OF the Giants had been buried, but
the smoke of the peace pipe was
nevertheless apparent to many of
those who follow the national pas
time.
