of 9 to 2.
Richard de Marquis, otherwise known
as RUDE Vanguard, was no greater
trouble to the Phillics than he proved
to the Giants in the opening game at
the Polo Grounds earlier in the week.
He lasted longer, of course, but this
was because Erskine MAYER, who start

that Uncle Robbie decided a second
guess under the circumstances would
be the height of folly Mayer was so
very good that he allowed only two

inning Brooklyn avoided shut-out
at this late stage of the game as the
result of Daubert's single and doubles
by Mitchell and Johnston.
Crowd Unusually Small
The crowd was the smallest Satur-

due in great measure, doubtless, to
the bitterly cold weather. There was
also nter-attraction in the Wom-

it be forgotten that the fandofn of

ANNAPOLIS, Md. April 2O.-Over a
course the Henley distance of mile
and five-six teenths in length the var
sity and freshman crews of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania woV from the
first crew and the fourth class crew
of the Naval Academy in choppy
waters on the Severn River this after
noon. In the main race the lead at
the finish was a little over a length,
and with the junior boats it ap-
preached two lengths.
The time of the varsity was 7 min
utes 561a seconds, remarkable time
considering the conditions. That of
the Naval Academy first crew was 500,
the Pennsylvania freshmen S:16h, and
that of the Naval Academy fourth
class eight, 1922.
Coach Wright expressed some doubt
this morning as to whether his charges
would do so we'll in heavy water. He
said that they had been used to quiet
places, and that five of his men were
rowing in a race for the first time
Furthermore. he was inclined to be-
little the record breaking performance
in practice, as it was done with Q
strong wind and tide behind the boat.
On the whole, rather gloomy outlook
was intimated.
But Pennsylvania had one of the
best crews ever seen here, and the
mldshipmen, weighing thirteen pounds
to man more, were distinctly cut
rowed, though they pulled good
race.
One of those acts Of craftsmanship
which amount to so much took place
little over minute from the start
the bow of the Pennsylvania crew
snapped mis- oar in *wo. According
to the rules of the game the crew had
to abide its misfortunes at that stage,

Columbia, 6-3

Cornell finished up her first away,
trombone series in most satisfactory
manner by winning from Columbia on
South Field yesterday afternoon, s to
3: This leaves the Ithaca nine with a
clean slate SO far this season, since
1t defeated Rutgers in the first game
on FRIDAY; 1t also gives Cornell the
lead In the three game series to be
played with Columbia.
The visitors showed themselves the
superiors of the local nine in all
branches of the game. They were able
to bring in scores at tac necessary
times and frightened up when Columbia
threatened to even the score.
Cornell got flying start in the first
half of the opening inning by bring
ing in three runs, but Columbia re-
taliated by also making three. The
score remained tied until the fifth in
ming, when the visitors drove in two
more runs. Columbia tried hard again
to equalize. She got men on second
and third, but Brookmire tightened in
the pinch and retired the side without
a run. Cornell scored again in the
ninth frame.
Pitchers Lacked Control
Farrell was not up to his old form.
A sore arm has been troubling him,
and he lacked control. Although he
allowed only seven hits he was batted
hard, and had several streaks of wild
ness.
Bruckner, although wild, gave Col
umbia only four hits.
In the first inning Harden walked
and went to second on Towards sacri-
fee. Ellsworth Singled, scoring Har-
den, and Whitmore was safe on Vein
STEMS error. Both advanced on Cor
wins out and scored on Wagner's hit
to left.
The winning runs in the fifth inning
were brought in by Harden and Howard

Columbia scored her runs on triple
