Cambridge, Mass, March 24-Al-
though the Harvard rowing manage
ment has practically abandoned the
hope of going through with its regular

are now going on. Coach Haines has
had ten days to size up his varsity and
Junior boats at Lynn, and although he
has called for no change in the per-
sonnet Of the first boat he has given the
order for a shake-up.
The varsity will probably row on
home waters for the first time this year
on Tuesday. The river bids fair 20 be
practically free from ice by that time.
and Coach Haines will find himself
with better equipment to follow the
shells and the men will have consider
ably more time for practice. Haines's
shake-up in the varsity had to do with
two positions. Brown, No. 2, and Whit
man, No 6, exchanged places, and
Coolidge, No. 8, snapped with Moody,
No. 7.

Crescent Team
Beats Arenas
In Fast Game

Boston. March 24.-The Brooklyn
Crescents and the Boston Arena hockey
teams fought TO finish in the Amateur
League finals tonight, the visitors VIM
ming 2 to 1, but having big scare at
the finish. The New Moon players got
a goal in the first half when Heffernan
made a brilliant rush almost the length
of the surface and midway through the
second half went into to 0 lead
when Browne made a long pass 10 Con
way, who, absolutely clear, rushed to
within a few feet of the Arena goal
and scored.
The last six minutes of the second
half were thrilling. The home players
nut all their efforts on attack and kept
the puck around the Crescents' net
continually. Mitchell had all sorts Of
stops to make. coming out for some
shots and kicking away others in just
the nick of time. Not less than dozen
times his quickness saved goals, and
once the Arena got the puck past him,
this being when Irving Small, with
three minutes to go, made brilliant
rush and scored with low lift when
free from Browne and Heffernan. AT
the finish the Arena claimed it scored
again. I. Small shot the corner OF the
cage. and there was mix-up. The
coal umpire lifted his hand, but said
the shot did not count. The referee dld
not see it, From the side lines II
looked as if Mitchell had made another
brilliant stop.
The Crescents owe their victory to
NitchelPs remarkable work. Conway,
except for few flashes. was slow on
the wing, and Rosch did not play with
his usual speed.

Bull Wins Final
Match at Squash
From Cordier
Retains His Title of Club
Champion in Hard
Fought Contest

Charles NJ. Bull. jr.. retained his
title of club champion in defeating
Auguste j. Corder in the final round
match Of the Class A squash TERMS
tournament at the Squash Club yes
,erday. The issue went into four
games. which were close and hard
played, the scores being l5--lo'
i5-l2, SIS, 1913.
Speed and smashing kills" proved
the predominant weapons of attack
employed By Bull. The latter kept
the play sizzling, driving the ball INTO
the front wall corners. and invariably
following it with a placement shot
along the wall that troubled Cordler.
The champion was pressed by Cordier
1t all times, however, and frequent
~ was caught out Of position by
Cordier.
Cordier failed to hold a commanding
lead in the fourth game. thus forcing
the match into the limit set OF five
games. Although enjoying a lead of
II aces to 6, Cordier failed to stand
off a rally of Bull. who quickly closed
the gap to set the game at l3-all.
Cordier here began to tire from the
hard playing. and was unable to In
terrupt the almost consistent point
gathering by Bull. who collected his
final five aces without giving his OPP
ponent one point.
The first and second games proved
n nip-and-tuck fight from the outset.
Both men were playing in their best
form. and each point came after a
hard fight. However, Bull always
collected several points toward the
end. and managed to successfully de-
fend this lead. In the third game
Bull sIackened his speed, and the rest
he obtained came in timely in the
ensIiinp game,

New York Girls in Clash with
Hub Septette Are
Winners
By FRED HAWTHORNE

The hockey team of the Boston Ath-
letic Association defeated the Irish
American A. c. seven in the final league
game of the season at the st. Nicho-
las Rink last night by n score of 8
goals to 2, and by the victory clinched
and rivetted down their title to the
championship Of the American Amateur
Hockey League.
The big feature of the evening. how
ever. was the first game of hockey be-
tween girls played in this city. The
New York Girls team defeated the Bos-
ton Girls team by score of | goal TO
0, in n game that was replete with
bumps, flying hairpins and hard
bruises. Miss Elsie Muller shot the
winning goal from a scrimmage in the
second half.
Big Crowd Present
The largest crowd of the season
went to the rink in anticipation of a
fast and furious evenings entertain
ment, and not a single one asked for
his or her money back after the two
games were finished. The only persons
who raised any sort of objection were
the ushers and skating instructors, who
were kept an extra half-hour on the
ice sweeping up the stray hairpins.
The Boston team completely out
played the local seven and demon
strated its unquestionable right to the
championship. The passing was unusu-
ally fast and accurate, and the work OF
Donahue. the brilliant goal tender, was
a treat to watch. Big SkilIon, the 240-
pound Boston coverpoint, was a power
on the offence, and broke up many a
we'll planned Irish rush for goal.

will thereby work way still further into the fancy OF the

We have no entanglements WITH nor any particular

from wondering how the older circuit could have kept
away from proposition OF such immediate Importance
and appeal
By adopting this policy of aloofness the National has
merely permitted its Young rival pick up and play
winning card. When the chief of staff of big DIVISION

way of example, there must be something more to the
movement than froth
