 The Harvard oarsmen, who were scheduled to start rowing at Lynn yesterday. were disappointed when a telephone message sent to Cambridge 7 ordered them to wait until today. i The reason for the delay was that when, about 1 o'clock today, Bill 1aines. the professional coach. came down to launch the big float at the boathouse, he found that it had not been properly made fast and had foated away. It took so long to get the float back to the boathouse that Flames decided to wait until today be- fore putting the crew on the water.

SPORTDOM SPARkLERS

All Marlin and the countryside turned out yesterday to see the Giants trounce the Dallas club of the Texas league by 15 to 2. sat4
 It was the third game of the series and gave the major .leGguers the edge by two games to one. McGraw's men more than made up for the beating they got at Dallas last, Saturday. Con- tinuing the heavy batting they dis played in their practice workout yes- terday they pounded the Dallas pitching all over Emerson field.
 Columbia swimmers gave the Tigers the second drenching of the inter- collegiate league season last night in the Columbia tank, and.s using Cap- tain Vollmer in only one event, the relay race. won without exertion by 34 to 19. The New Workers still have a clean slate of six league vic- tories and no defeats, and. with only two more meets on the intercollegiate calendar, their path to a champion ship appears to be all clear ahead, since both Yale and Pennsylvania. have been conquered once this Win ter. <
 The Princetonians, water polo champions season ago drove another spike into their fastening at the top of the league ladder by scoring five touched gouls and one foul against the Columbians. The final tally was 26 to 6.
 Kid Williams of Baltimore, the for mer bantamweight champion, and Joe Lynch of the west side fought a ten- ef }erv7 at 6n Sporting club in New York. Both boxers exhibited cleverness, and the bout furnished action aplenty. In the semi-final six-round bout Johnny Carol outpointed Danny Paresse.
 Alfred von Kolnitz, utility infielder with the Chicago Americans. has notified Manager Rowland that he has retired from the game.
 Unless there is a change in the situ-. ation the Eastern golf team to play in Atlanta against the South and West will be composed, of Max Marston, Gardner White, John c! and either Phil Carter or Norman Maxwell. In case young Maxwell starts he will be pttted against Bobby Jones, and the battle of the two youngsters will be one ,of the most interesting golf feat ures of the year.
 The Philadelphia Athletics received their first lesson in military instruc- tion at Jacksonville yesterday. Man ager Mack confined the drill to mem- bers of the team, and each man was instructed for an hour by Sergeant Smart, U. s. A.
 John A. (Buck) Rodgers of Penn state. who coached he football squad at Stevens Tech last season, will act in that capacity again next autumn. Rodgers retention was made certain yesterday when he was appointed an assistant in the department of physi- cal training. He more than made good last autumn and deserves the best Stevens can offer him in his line. Rodgers will hold no spring football work. but instead urges his mon to 90 out for lacrosse.
 Pete Herman, worlds champoin bantam, outpointed Dutch Brandt of Brooklyn, in the main event at the Broadway Sporting club last night. In tho last two rounds he had Brandt fiatfooted and tottering. The cham pion got better as the light advanced.

RUSHING PLANS
FOR BALL TEAM
Coach Gill Looking Over Material
! Business Men to Take
F., Matter Up Soon.

Plans to put an Independent base
ball club in Grand Forks this summer
are going steadily forward and it ap-
pears that popular approval will help
cinch strong aggregation for the
city.
Coach Andy Gill of the University
Of North Dakota, who is slated for
the managerial berth, is now working
on list Of players and it is now as
sured that there will be no dearth of
material from which to build team.
Many promising men from this city
have put in an appearance and it may
be possible that practically the entire
squad will be made up Of local ath-
letes. A crack battery may be Sc
lected from the candidates for posi-
tions. to work in emergency games
and double headers, as there are not
enough twirlers here to insure sue
cess. Randall, who worked last sea-
son with great success, has signified
his intention of getting out for the
squad. Gill will play in the infield,
and very probably at second base. A
local shortstop. catcher. third base
man and an outfidder are now being
considered and will be given a try-out
as soon as the diamond is in condition
for practice.
The Grand Forks Commercial club,
the Ad club and the Merchants as
ISOLATION will take the proposition up
at meetings to be held before next
Tuesday, and it is expected that unan-
imous endorsement will be given.
Suits and all other paraphernalia
must be purchased at the beginning
OF the season and to cover the cost,
money must be raised.
