with session in the snappy atmos
phere yesterday afternoon.
With the opening game due in about
two weeks, busy days are ahead for the
candidates. With dozen hustling
youngsters battling for permanent
berths in the infield and about ten trv-
ing to land in the outfield, the coach is
confronted with no easy task. A series
OF practice games will be arrange 4
when the candidates are split into
squads and in this work the mettle of
the players will be more easily tested.
Several newcomers have Joined the
list. They are Weldon and Kelly. out

ers; Connolly, law student, who is
out for catcher; Halloran, a former
Boston high school player who Is show
ing good form as a twirler; Lucy, a
shortstop; Collins. a third baseman,
and Galligan, second sacker, all loom
ing up as strong if not permanent CON
tenders.
The battcrs got in a good drill YES

work with vim. The practice was
held on diamond on the new athletic
field.

Rice Rigs Up Machine
For Columbia Oarsmer


In order to give his crews taste
of the pull" of actual water, Coach
Rice has set up special rowing
machine in the Columbia pool. This
contrivance, which is dubbed the "pol-
lywog" by the students, is situated on
the north side Of the pool, where the
water is about three feet deep. By
means Of n sliding seat the oarsman
gets the feeling Of pulling boat
through the water. Jim Rice believes
that it makes it much easier task
to become accustomed to the river.
1t will be week now before the
crew will be able to get out on the
Hudson, and this ingenious device takes
n little Of the monotony out OF the
continual machine work. Both the
freshmen and the varsity crews take
turns at rowing up the swimming pool

1t was a song from Tennyson's The

Coomaraswamy in her Dance Of Sird a
collection of Indian essays published by
the Sunwise Turn. The author insists
that it is a social convention, although
she admits that there have been some I'M
willing individuals upon whom pressure
was put. Here is something which bears
out Kiplng's Last Suttee:
Matter Of fact account of more modern
suttces are given by Englishmcn who have
witnessed them. One which took place
in Baroda in 1925 is described by r.
Hartley Kennedy, the widow perSistlng

remarkable ease is described by Sir Fred

her determination by asking for a lamp

EDWIN
By A. ELWooD CORNING.

DERHAPS no living poet has endeav-
L ored so successfully to voice the
spirit of democracy as Edwin Markham,
whom William Dean Howells calls, now
that James Whitcomb Riley has gone, "the
first of the Americans" Markham sings:
There is destiny that makes US brothers:
None goes his way alone;
Al! that we send into the lives of others
Comes back into our own"
The thing which impresses you most in
meeting the poet FOR the first time is his
OVERLOOKING brotherliness. He has not
lost the Western hncture, nor the pas
sion for comradeship, for which All earlier
American poet, Joseph Rodman Drake,
was SO much beloved. Nor has success
obliterated the memory Of boyhoOd of
toll.
Born in Oregon City, Ore, in 1852, Mr..
Markham was, IS a boy, reticent and
thoughtful This temperament he prob
ably inherited from his mother, who is
said further 10 have been a woman of
great catholicity of taste and of sin
gular power of apt expression; she en-
joyed local reputation as newspaper
