M AY ELI INMATE HAMMER HURL
 AT GAMES

New York, March 2-Ath1etic en- thusiastS may find the hammer throw event eliminated from the program in future events and as a substitute find the jave1fn throw. It is said the hammer throw is too strenuous for boys in preparatory schools and that the javelfn event will find keener competition.
 4 Final action, it is expected, will be taken today, when the members of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of America met in convention at the Waldorf-Astoria.
 The executive committee met at the Waldorf last night for an informal discussion before the meeting today. It was at the meeting last night that the recommendation was made to eliminate the hammer throw event but no action will be taken until the other members of the league meet.
 A number of other recommendations were made. which, it is believed, will greatly stimulate the interest of the boys in preparatory schools, accord ing to the secretary, who attended the executive session.

might and vim to put it over and so be able to have a rest before the Worlds Series.
 Mike Donlin was playing center field at the time and. in Cincinnati, center is a bad sun field. There is a contin- ual glare in the fieider's eyes. Donhn Mertes who played left, was one of the best the game has ever known. He could pick 6 fly ball out of a glare that would have blinded most men
 In the eighth inning Don1in lost g. | ball in the sun, and McGraw ordered him to change fields with Mertes. They had barely made the shift when Cy Seymour, then with Cincinnati, came to bat with two runners on base, A long hit would have won for the Reds.
 Seymour sent the ball on a long drive that looked like & sure home run. Moreover, he sent it straight into oentrefield, over the head of Mer- tes.
 The crack sunfe1der started on a run for the fence without looking around, until he was within five feet of the barrier. Then, with the g1aring sun in his eyes, he turnoA and caught the ball as it whistled over his shoul- der. The force of the drive threw him against the fence, but he held the ball, and the Giants clinched the pen nant.
 The play is still discussed among experts and with them it has always been question as to who should get the most credit-tMcGraw for making the quick shift of men, or Mertes for making the catch.

Will you read that a Chinese eight cared shell poked it's nose across the line at Poughkeepsie ahead of Cor nell, or Syracuse, or Pennsylvania?
 Don't laugh. It's a possibility.
 At Columbia university Jim Rice, the veteran coach of the Blue and White, is not devoting all his time to the Caucasians in training. Far from that he is inclined to give a little bit more of his time to his Chinese oars men who are making the first Chinese crew in the history of American aquatics.
 These boys are light, compared to an American crew, but they have all the endurance of men bigger than they are,' is Coach Rice's explanation. Then, too, that coxswain, little Lee, knows his business. I don't always understand his shouts to his oarsmen, but they do, and they can sure hit up the pace when he gets going.
 ITO tell the truth, was inclined to
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-03-02

be skeptical when they came to me and wanted to make a crew. But they were very much in earnest, and so l took them in charge. Now I am be- coming enthusiastic over them. They obey all orders like true soldiers and are picking up the finer points of row ing with remarkable speed. They'll make good. mark me, or never saw a crew in my life.'
 Little Lee, the coxswain, is one of CoIumbia's leading wrest1ers. Captain Kwong is a strong, well built athlete and excels in the gymnasium. Every man in the bunch is a perfect speci- men of Chinese manhood, and not one is a bit backward about entering into a regatta against American crews.
 The Chinese crew at Columbia may not TOW at Poughkeepsie- hasn't been decided yet-but they will un- doubted1y compete in several regattas around New York and in New Eng land. They want to test their mettle.

Talk Of Sports

New London will be on the baseball map again this year. Secretary Prest has mailed the contracts and most of last years team will be on hand. The draft has put few holes in the lineup but after the training season it il hoped these will be filled up. The new manager of the New London crew has been selected but Owner Plant has not yet given out his name. The rumor is very strong that Jack Flynn, former Providence manager, will lead the Planters this season.
 The Blue Ribbons will tackle the fast Jersey City Five tonight on the latter's floor. A defeat for Leavy's outit will mean further down the lad der, but a little team work and with White shooting in better form. the Ribbons ought to pull out ahead of Leonard's crowd.
 Oscar Gardner gave Bobby Reimer a boxing lesson Thursday night in Chicopee, Mass. Reimer was suppos- ed to have decision over Young Rec tor of New York and was picked to win over Gardner.
 George Proto of New Haven, sub ping for Johnny Sugrue of Water bury, was the winner in the semi final from Battling Greene of Hart ford.
 Willie Meehan will be F'uIton's next meat They are to go 15 rounds at Denver Monday night. Fulton having a big advantage in height and weight.
 Nobody gets away with anything on the St. Paul promoters. Jack Reddy pulled one on Jimmy Mason, manager of Harry Greb on that recent fight be- tween Greb and Mike O'Dowd. Mason posted a $25O forfeit that Greb would train in St. Paul for week before the match as per contract, but Greb never showed up so Mason grabbed the $250. a- .-..
 Another example of Billie Miskes' lack of punch was shown in his bout with Gus Christie of Milwaukee Thursday night. For ten rounds Miske had everything his own way but he couldn't put the haymaker over.
 Battling Greene of Hartford and Joe Currie will have it out again on March 0 as the semi-f1nal to the Shea Waltz f1asco in New Haven.
 They put up fine scrap at the Arena a month ago Currie having a slight edge over Greene.
 In Cleveland recently the fuel say ing days were the occasion for sev- eral exhibitions of baseball on ice. The teams were made up of several we'll known professionals on the one side, and several expert skaters on the other. The skaters gave the pros an awful licking, in the first game, anyway, and lost the second by a margin of only one run. Paskert of the Cubs and Wambsganss of the h. dians took part in the games.
