BIG BENEFIT TO
 PROVIDENCE BY
 EASTERN ENTRY

'"The action of the stockholders of the Providence Club of the Interna- tional League, when they named Ed die Eayrs as manager for the coming season, sets at rest all doubts in the minds of the baseball fans regarding Providence's entrance in the Eastern League says the Hartford Courant.
 'If the Providence club entertain ed any notion of the International Cir cult being able ito resume business when it gets together Monday fter- noon for another session, it never would have allowed Jack Egan to re- tire as manager to accept a job at Milwaukee.
 Having allowed him to go, there was no necessity of appointing a manager at this time unless the stock holders had some definite idea in view, and the only definite thing be- fore them was the fact that the East ern League is going to do business this year. Eayrs'' selection means to the baseball fan that the Eastern | League at last is coming into it's own and that Providence will be mem Der of the circuit, a place where that city has belonged ever since it was left out of the old National League. '"Tht Messrs. Clarkinu and Carey of the old Eastern Association knew what they were doing when they rid themselves of the old regime that handled that circuit and forced the formation of the merger" league, is being proven more steadily year, by year. The big drive in the first place was to secure Worcester for this end of the circuit, along with such cities as Hartford Springfield, New Haven and Bridgeport.
 with Providence coming into the league, the circuit is more strongly entrenched than ever before, and Il is a safe assertion that once Provl- dence has finished a year in the Eas- tern league it will never again leave the circuit short of taking an opening in one of the major leagues. The In ternational circuit was monstroslty due to the large mileage and cost o1 producing baseball in that league.
 .Last season, the Providence club played to 135, GOO people during the season, and yet the club failed tc make any money. With the reduced cost of maintaining a ball club in the Eastern league, due to the compac i circuit, the Providence club can play ball to 100000 people this coming sea
 son and show a substantial balance or the right side of the ledger"

LINDSEY WINNER

Mort Lindsey, the local bowler, took five out of the nine games play ed in the State Duckpin tournament yesterday afternoon in New Haven, and jumped into second place in the race. With 22 victories out of 35 games played, Bob Stone, the Water bury sner1r1, is the real leader to date. Lindsey has won 12 out of IS games and bids fair to be up among the winners when the tourney ends.

son is that we do not believe, where the casualties are coming in more frequently every day, that Yale Uni versity should take part in a big cele- tration such as the proposed regatta Cn the Severn.
 If Yale and Harvard had wanted a big regatta, they would have fol- lowed their usual plan of meeting at New London on the last of June. The only excuse that the authorities had for instituting organized sport at thesa two universities again is that we find ir necessary for the morale and good health of the college, that the stu dents should be urged to undertake athletic sports, and these sports will merely be the handmaid of military and naval training"
 ''We, therefore" continued Pro- lessor Abbott, "enter organized sport not with the old purpose of defeat ing our hereditary rivals, but merely for the purpose of turning out men il. the best physical condition to un- dergo the strain of modern warfare. It is necessary for the American youth to have some objective. There fore we are going to race Harvard Princeton and Pennsylvania, to gel as many men as possible out rowing for, without this sort of impetus, we find that the American undergraduate takes little interest in sports, as was evidenced last autumn, when only 5( men went out for football and 40 fol crew. Since we have instituted organ ized rowing again we have man! more men out on the river than wt

Yale Varsity Eight Will NOt Compete OIl
 Annapolis Severn

New Haven, March 22--Yale has definitely announced that the Varsity crew will not enter the intercollegiate race which is to be held on the Sev- representatives / were at the recent meeting of the American Rowing As sociation in New York city, which formulated the latest plan for a pre- tentious regatta to take the place of Poughkeepsie and New London, and favored the idea, the university au- thorities at New Haven have drowned on the project, and Yale will not send a crew to the Maya! Academy regatta 4
 In giving reasons for coming to this decision, Professor Abbott, who is in charge of the crews, points out that with the casualties growing every day, the university does not believe that the crew, should take part in such a big celebration such as the proposed regatta.
 The action of Yale, it is believed, will now have an effect on the atti- tude at Harvcrd and Princeton, and it is possible that the Severn regatta may be abandoned, although outside of the three institutions mentioned the sentiment for the regatta is very strong Yale is willing to take part in dual regattas but refuses to par ticipate in anything which resembles rowing spectacle.
 In stating Yale's, position, Pro- lessor Abbott says: 'The Yale Uni versity crew will not take part in the Severn regatta on May Il. The req

SUNDAY BASEBALL
 BILL IS BURIED

Albany, N. Y, March PA favor able report on the Sunday baseball bill introduced by Senator Robert R. Lawson, of Brooklyn, was submitted by the Senate Committes on Codes yesterday. The measure has been amended by the addition of a home rule clause which would make base ball matches lawful after p. m. Sun daNst unless the municipal authorities should adopt ordinances against it.
 Senator Lawson requested that the biH be advanced to the order of final passage, but an objection by Senator Adson P. Brown resulted in its con- siennnent to the general orders calen- dar, considered the legislative burial ground at this period of the session.

Fistic History

Clifford D. Cravath, the California fence buster, will celebrate his 36th birthday tomorrow, as he was born on March 23, 1882, in San Diego. Cal. Cactus or "Old Wooden Shoes as he is generally known, has been the subject of many articles in the pub lie prints, announcing his big league demise, and by this time he is used to reading his baseball obituary.
 Away back in 1909, after a couple of seasons in the American League with Boston, Chicago and Washing ton, Cravath was sent back to the minors. He landed in Minneapolis, and it was with the Millers that he gained his reputation as a home run slugger. The Phillies bought him in 1912 and he has worn a Quaker uni form ever since. Cravath has been playing professional baseball for over fifteen years, starting with San Diego in 1902. He was with Los Angeles for five seasons before he got his first trial in the big show. Slowness of foot has been Cravath's greatest handi- cap, but, then, a fellow can't have everything, except Cobb. Cactus ranks as one of the greatest sluggers in the history of the diamond pastime and the fans dearly love a good slugger.
 Dan Creedon knocked out Billy Stiff in the fifth round at Hot Springs on March 22, 1901, just sev- enteen years ago today. Either of these battlers would have been stars in the middleweight ranks today, with oh o+ Iao io but they were so unfortunate as to be at their best at a time when that divi- sion abounded with great performers.
 Stiff was a Chicago boy, and a game, rugged battler, but he was not quite good enough for Creedon. In 1899 he fought a great contest with Kid Mccoy in St. Louis, but the Hoo sier knocked him out in the thirteenth round. In the same year he lost the decision in a twenty-round engage ment with Tommy Ryan in Davenport and twice after that he lost to the Syracuse bruiser in Kansas City. In l1904 Ryan and Stiff fought again in Benton Harbor and Billy was knock ed out. Creedon was a native of New Zealand and claimed the middleweight
 championship after Fitzsimmons be- came a heavyweight, but he was de- feated by Kid Mccoy.

CHAPTER III.
The Kaiser's Dual Personality.


If I had come away from Germany In
January, 1914, instead of In January,
1918, and had written the impression
! l had gained of the kaiser in the ten
years 1 had known him, what a false
picture 1 would have painted Of the
! man as he really is!
1t would have been a picture Of a
man who in general appearance and
| bearing was every inch an emperor and
yet who could exhibit all the courtesy,
affability and gentleness of the most
democratic gentleman, a man soft of
eye and kindly in expression, man of
wide reading and MISUNDERSTANDING
the most versatile man in the world,
man who possessed most alert mind,
a remarkable memory and the keenest
observation; a man who was not gen.
erous in nature and yet was at times
considerable of others; man Of charm
ing personality and amiability. 1t
would have shown q man of unpar-
alleled egotism, a man who was i'm
patient of correction and who would
brock no opposition. There might have
been in the picture suggestion OF the
dire lengths to which the man would
go to have his way. but 1t would have
been only suggestion.
As far as it went, the picture would
have been accurate, but 1t would have
been sadly incomplete-with all the
lights worked in but lacking all the
shadows.
1t took the war and its attendant
horrors to reveal the kaiser in his
true colors. The war did not change
his character; it uncovered it.
Early in my practice I happened to
mention to the kaiser that I appre-
ciated the friendliness he showed me
in invariably waving his hand at me
as he passed my window when walking |
along the Tiergarten.
'It's a good advertisement for you,
Davis" he said. 1.-THE people see me
waving to you and they know you must |
be good dentist or I wouldn't |
come to you. 1t will help your bust
ness" In every act, he was conscious
Of the public.
during that period or my career In
Berlin, he showed the utmost interest
n my progress and frequently inquired
how my practice was developing.
The first bill 1 rendered him, as 1
nave mentioned, he doubled. On a
lumber of subsequent occasions, he
,aid me more than my bill called for.
These ,overpayments never amounted
o very much, but they impressed me
because they were so out of keeping
With the stinginess the kaiser dis
'layed in other directions.
From time to time the kaiser sent
II brought me autographed pictures of
imself or others. At the time of the
ne hundredth anniversary of Fred
rick the Great, he gave me a picture
f that monarch. On another occasion,
e presented me with group picture
t himself surrounded by his family
nd dogs. 1 remember his bringing to
