COACH NICKAtLS OF YALE CREW IS HAPPY IN VICTORY

New Haven, April 9-Guy Nickalls, head coach of the Yale crews, which triumphed over Pennsylvania on Sat- urday, will leave for England this week. Nickalls is undecided as to what he will do, should he return home safely, but indications are that he will seek employment in a muni- ton factory there.
 Nickalls was greatly pleased over the showing of the Yale crews, espe- cially the junior eight, which negotiat- ed better time than the varsity eight. Nickalls expressed the belief that the Ellis would have made quite a mark in rowing circles this season but for the war, which has placed all college sports at a standstill. The oarsmen held a banquet at Atlantic City iInme- diately after the race and then dis banded without electing a captain for next year.
 According to Yale men, the junior crew made what they were pleased to call a typical Yale race, It was one of the gamest exhibitions seen on any waters. From the start to within a few strokes of the finish Pennsyl- van1a was in front. But the Ellis were not to be denied. A powerful rally, started at the three-quarter mark gradually cut down the Quaker's advantage. Little by little the Yale shell crept up on the Penn craft. |. vain, Drayton raised the stroke to a 38. Yale, rowing 36 to the minute was getting more power into it's stroke. 1t drove it's blades deeper into the water and kept them there longer.
 One hundred yards from the finish Drayton brought the Penn stroke up to a 40, but still Yale, rowing at a, slightly slower gait was coming up. Stroke by stroke Penn kept falling back
 AS Penn was beginning its last stroke Yale was finishing it's final drive. The power of that finish, com. ing less than a second ahead of the drive in Penn's final stroke. was cough to give the Ellis that small but precious advantage that meant vic- tory. It was a race we'll worth going miles to see.

BILL CLYMER AND
 HENDRICKS GREAT
 BASEBALL PIRATES

Tn Bill Clymer, pilot of the Louis- lville Colonels, and Jack Hendricks manager of the Indianapolis H1osiers, the American association has a eouple of leaders who look to be of major league ca.Ebre. Clymers club swon the Championship of the big minor circuit last year, while the Hendricks outfit was the runners-up.
 Hendricks will pass his fist mile- stone today, as he was born on April 8, 1876, in Joliet, III. Jack was 26 years old before it occurred to him to play baseball for a living. It will be 15 years next June since he broke into professional company with the New York Giants, that being the last year of the Friedman regime at the Polo Grounds, when the Giants were hope less cellarites. Jack didn't last long In big time, and finished the season with the Columbus club of the Amer ican association. In 1903 he started the season in Spokane, and later was given 8 chance to display his wares as an Outfielder with the Washington club.
 Hendricks d1d not play in 1904, but in 1905 he made his debut as manager with Springfield, O., where he re- mained three seasons, winning a pen- uadEL III 1SVI. inc next two years h6 was the boss of the Fort Wayne out it in the Central league, In 1910 he took charge of the Denver Grizzlies and his club won three straight pen nants in 1911, 1912, and 1913. When James c. McGdn purchased the Indian. apolis club. Hendricks was placed at the helm. and the Hoosiers finished third in 1914 and again in 1915, and achieved second place last year. Hem dricks was among those considered for the management of the Cubs this year.

NOBODY BOSSES COBB.

It appears that Ty Cobb has even managed to buffalo President Ban Johnson of the American league. AL though urged to take some action against Cobb because of his trouble with Charley Herzog of the Giants, Johnson sidesteps by saying he has no authority in the matter as the affair took place before the league season started.
 There doesn't seem to be anybody who has any authority over Cobb. He refused to listen to the pleas of Man. ager Jennings and Owner Navin of Detroit when they asked him to fin Ban Johnson imposed a fine of $100 on Cobb for playing with the Colonials of New Haven last autumn but there money. Cobb and not Ban Johnson Is evidently the Czar of the American league.
 Ray Heating of this city is starting as if he meant to have fine season in the American association. He held the Red Sox to one hit in four innings when the champions appear ed in Toledo, Saturday afternoon. Manager Bresnahan of Toledo is. en- thusiastic about Keating's work and says thelocal boy will be sensation in the American association.
 It is said Jack Collins, the former Springfield player, is about to lose his job with the Chicago White Sox. Col lins has been carried several years as utility outfieIder but is not hitting we'll this season.

YANKEES DEFEAT
 NEWARK CLUB BY RALLY IN THE 10TH

New York, April 9.-The Yankees opened up the local baseball season with the Newark Bears, trimming Newark 5 to 1 in a ten-inning battle, at wiedenmayers Park yesterday af- ternoon. The Tanks were leading l to until the eighth session., when Newark tied things up, taking advan- tage of the wildness of Pitcher Jack Emrdght There was no scoring py either team during the ninth inning, but the Yankees hammered out four runs in the tenth, more than enough to win.
 Considering the weather conditions, a remarkable crowd turned out to see the first game of the season. The fans who braved the cold were treated t0 . military exhibition. Previous to : the game, the etnire Yankee team, led by a boys band, and commanded by Sergeant Gibson, paraded around the f1ord, and went through the tactics amidst thunderous applause.
 ssWHld BdlT' Donovan started Slim Love in the box, and he was invin- cibae during the three innings he worked Six of the ten men to face him were retired by the strike out route, and only ont hit was combed from his delivery.
 Alex Ferguson, Jack Enright and Sam Ross divided the boxwork during the balance of the game. The hitting star of the afternoon was Frank Gill i. .fooley, who got four clean hits in five times at bat.
 The Yankees first run was scored in the second inning, Pipp leading off with a double and counting on Ba- ke's hit to center for base. In the final session. hits by Knaupp, Alex ander. Gifhooley and Maisel, together with Highs walk resulted in four runs. Newark was unable to do any thing in their half.

The game with the Prov idence International League team for the following Saturday also seems as- sured, but after that it is doubtful II any attempt will be made to continue the regular schedule.
 Although the Brown baseball and track teams are sure to be pretty well upset within a week, there is a grow ing sentiment at this college that ath- letics should not be entirely aban- doned.
 It is possible, although the Varsity baseball schedule be cancelled, that some sort of an organization will be continued and some pretense made at playing games.

 Jack Britton has been suspended by the Ohio Boxing commission for stall ing in bout with Bryan Downey. It. is said Britton was friendly with. Downey and wished to let him make a good showing. E. Benny Kauff displayed plenty of batting ability in the series with the Detroit club which ended yesterday in Kansas City. The little outfielder banged out two hits in the final. game although his team only gathered five. Harry LeGore, the great Yale ath- lete, evidently entered into some kind of an agreement with Branch Hickey. the man who left the St. Louis Browns to become president of the Cardinals. The agreement between the two clubs stipulated that Hickey shall not at; tempt to sign LeGore prior to June pf.sa Several Ibig league scouts have. watched LeGore and the Giants made him an offer, which he declined.

 FOR STATE TITLE BY
 FAST WATERBURY TEAM

In the game for the championship of the state the B. H. $. basketball tam went down to defeat Saturday at the hands of Crosby High of Water bury by the score of 34 to 20. It was not a very fast or snappy game. Beers the Crosby center, who stands about 6 feet 4, would stop all the locals passes and take shot. In the second half Cuneo chung to him more closely and prevented him from making many baskets but he could not do much with a fellow about a foot higher. Clancy and Porter did most of the defensive work while the shooting was left to Plus and McGran. There was dancing after the game un- til 6 o'clock, the Colonial orchestra rendering the music. This was the last game of the season so the local team will have to be content with the championship of the Southwestern Interscholastic league, and get the state championship next year.
