TEN EYCK CELEBRATES SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY WITH ROW ON HUDSON

The roth birthday of James F.
 Ten Eyck, Syracuse rowing coach, has just been celebrated on the Hudson river. On the Hudson is the only place that ever could stage such a celebrat tion, for Ten Eyck made famous that stretch of row ing from New York to Albany, a distance of 118 miles by the river
 Three score and ten years old, the veteran is far past the point in life where most men give up ac- tive participation in anything cath letic and settle down to live in ease. Vigorous, healthy, and pow erful yet in his body, the veteran made use of the occasion to show the youngsters he teaches how to row that the old man is still one of the best oarsmen in the. country
 Ten Eyck's health is all laid to his rowing. He says that's it and hundreds of students at the Syra- cuhe institution are willing to tes- tify to it. Men he has turned out from the shells that have flown the orange in many regettas in the past are testimonials to the pep the old coach has put into his work.

High Finance Sparkles With
 Clean Comedy

High Finance" at the Palace thea tre witt William Fox in the title role, would make a wooden Indian laugh. It combines that rarest of rare It includes the rare combination of an excellent plot well carried out and plenty of good healthy American humor. The western cowboy scenes" pictured so vividly for the benefit of My Lord' fairly makes the latter gasp, and by the way, no better foil background for bringing out the humor of Fox could be found than the makeup of My Lord" As may be supposed there is also a girl-The Girl--in the case who plays right up to the part Besides the play. which will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night, there is weekly showing war pictures. It so happened that these were well illustrated by the -four minute" talk made by Attorney A. E. Maltby last night

WILD GIRL CLAD
 IN 0VERALLS IS
 GHOST OF WOODS

LA GRANDE, Ore, Dec. H. Phantom ships are not uncommon, but the woods about Elgin, this county, contain phantom girl in overalls. Not only has excitement and curiosity been rife, but sym pathy is becoming general at what appears to be the deplorable plight of the unknown girl.
 The Elgin country was first aroused Saturday, when a wild eyed girl in overalls was seen running through the ~.qosr several miles west of the town, in the vicinity oi the toll gate road. At sight of any one the child screams and runs to hide, and nearby farmers report hearing her cry all through the last two nights. Many attempts have been made to capture the terrified girl
 The small daughter of a local farmer is said to have caught the l.child, but was unable to get any in- formation from her or hold her so frantically did she struggle fo1 release. The young child said while fighting for freedom that she did not know who she was or where her home might be. It is supposed by authorities that she is crazed from fright and hunger

THINKS POLICY OF
 ALLIES BAD ONE IN
 lSOLATING HOLLAND

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Dec. t2-"I am quite sure the policy of America and Britain of isolating Hol land is bad one" declared Marie Willem Troub, Netherlands Minister of Finance, in discussion recently lbout his country's position with the correspondent of tae Associated Press A
 Minister Troubs' criticism was based on the contention that the at titude of the two powers made the Netherlands dependent on Germany, with the result that she had to make III kinds of concessions to that coun- ny. Moreover, he thought it had a most unfortunate effect on the na- ions sympathies. At the outset of he war these were, for the largest part, on the side of the Entente Al lies. but, excepting perhaps, France, pro-Allied feeling had since largely declined as result of Allied meas ures
 If a referendum on the subject could be taken today, he thought il would show a pretty equal division of sympathies between the Entente and the Central powers. Unless the present policy be changed, he added, q am quite sure pro Allied feeling will decline daily"

STOCKTON ST A T E LEAGUE NINE HAD
 HEAVIEST BATTERY

Every now and then the story goes out that the suchand-such a player is one of the biggest men in baseball, and much stress is laid on the fact that such-and- d-such a player weights couple of hundred pounds or so and is over six feet ill height.
 Back in 1911, when the Stock ton team was in the State league, under the management of Cy More ing, a pair of players on that team were justly entitled to the heavy weight championship in the battery line.
 One of these men was Orval Ov- erall, former University of Califor. mia, Tacoma Tiger and Chicago Cut pitcher, and Tom Hackett, former. ly of the Oaks.
 Putting Orvall on the scales in those days, he tipped the beam uI to 238 pounds, while Tom, alias "Tub,55 brought the indicator ur to 240 pounds, grand total oi ATS pounds.
 Will somebody come along anG take the championship away iron these two for the heavyweight bat tery of the baseball arena?

GIBBONS MANAGER RESENTS CRITICISM

 "I cant answer for the other battlers," said Kane, but I know Mike Gibbons joined the army with the understanding that he was to go to France. All this talk of him accepting matches is bunk. He has not time to train and is working harder now than any other time since he became a professional fight CT.
 Right now Mike is preparing to raise S25, ,000 to build a gymnasium at Camp Dodge, where he is locat- ed. He has herded together an athletic show and is going to tour Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and In-
