TEN EYCK WANTS REGATTA.
Syracuse Crew Coach Against Drop.
ping Poughkeepsie Races.

Syracuse, n. 7. Feb. coach
James Ten Eyck. according to the
Syracuse Daily Orange, Is radically
opposed to dropping the intercollegi-
ate regatta at Poughkeepsie, which ac-
ton has been favored by Penn and
Cornell. The Orange quotes Ten Eyck
as follows:
Il want it emphatically stated that
am not in fuvoR, of the movement
to do away with or abolish the inter-
collegiate regatta at all.
Last spring was interviewed here
and at the time 1 made the statement
that was in favor of the standard
ization of races to be held, but / ex-
pressly stated that 1 was strongly in
favor of the retention of all of the an
nual fixtures Of the rowing calendar,
especially the intercollegiate regatta
on the Hudson at Poughkeepsie.
What / was and am still in favor of
Is more races each year and not a
less number
IT am not backing the University
Of Pennsylvania in any move to do
away with the intercollegiate regatta,
and I do not know of any of the
Orange athletic authorities who are
backing this movement"

BRUTALITY IN
EARLY BATTLES
Denouncers of Present-Day
Game Should Have Wit
messed Old Fights.

Those who denounce the boxing
game as conducted today as brutal
should bark back to the early days
OF the prize-ring for examples of
sure-enough brutality. Ben Caunt,
the twenty-fifth man to hold the
heavyweight championship OF Eng
land, won that title in an encounter
that would make the fights of today
look like a Sunday school strawberry
festival St. Adams, England, was
the place. and seventy-seven years
ago today the date of the fisticuffs,
which resulted in the defeat Of Nick
Ward by Ben Caunt, after thirty-five
rounds of a punching, slashing, hair
pulling and wrestling exhibition
which, as the sporting editors Of that
time said, "beggars description"
1Caunt received a belt which was
emblematic of the championship and
which was quite a flashy affair. cost
ing the subscribers thereto several
hundred pounds. The Nick Ward de-
feated by Ben Caunt was a brother
of the great Jem Ward, who had
held the title from 1925 to 1892. Caunt
kept the belt until 1s45. when Ben
digo, in a comeback bout, defeated
Caunt after ninety-three rounds of
terrible slugging and at the finish
Of which both men were helpless
from exhaustion.
This. incidentally. was the longest
heavyweight battle on the record
books. with the single exception of
the Jake Kilrain-Jem Smith affair at
Isle st. Pierre in 1887, which went
to 106 rounds-two hours and thirty
one minutes of actual fighting.

HARVARD MAY
SHIFT PLANS
Undergraduates Enter Cam
paign to Overrule Ath-
letic Committee.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. THE
Harvard athletic committee faces
the alternative of backing down on
its stand of q fortnight ago or al
lowing athletics at that university
to shamble on any old way this
spring. Gathered around the couu-
Gil table, the committee unanimous
ly voted that the attitude the uni
versity had held toward inter-col-
legiate competition should be con-
tinued.
But this condition of affairs did
not meet with the approval of GER
tain undergraduate leaders, and a
quiet campaign, in which Yale has
assisted, has been going on for the
last ten days. The committee has
been called together again, and
Dean Briggs will present the gist
of what happened during his re-
cent conference with Yale, men, who
frankly informed him that the stu
dents had taken affairs into their
own hands and were lined up solid
ly for the resumption of intercol-
legiate athletics in some form.
Capt. Hyatt, at Yale. and Capt.
Parkman. at Harvard, have both
btCh AA SNoAN NhN
discussion. which they hope will
bring their respective crews togeth-
er this spriQg. The elaborate prep
aratiOn of former years will be
missing in this event, and the lux
ury and interest of the annual
match on the Thames will be elimi-
mated if the athletic committees of
the two colleges meet the wishes
of the oarsmen.
Harvard proposes-at least. the
crew management-that a varsity
and a freshman race with the Ellis
be rOwed this spring. The race at
Cambridge would be in connection
with the annual spring regatta,
while Yale would probably hold a
similar set of races, where the 9TH
er brush would be held. A toss of
a coin would decide which college
would have its choice of the two
races.
Unless some definite rowing pro-
gram is soon outlined at Harvard
there will be no necessity for re-
opening the varsity boathouse this
spring.

.COBB'S RECORD
is REMARKABLE
Only Seven Big Leaguers in
in Game Five Years Have
300 Lifetime Average.

The fact that Tyrus Raymond Cobb
has maintained a grand batting aver
age Of 81 during thirteen years In the
big leagues Is all the more remarkable
when a census is taken OF the players
now in baseball who have been able
to bat above 800 during their years
under the big tent.
OF the players who have been in the
big leagues for five years or more
there are only seven who have man.
aged to get into this select class, and
several OF these by the scantiest of
margins. The National League is rep
resented by only one man who has
been able to amass a lifetime aver
age of 300 or better. That National
League player is no other than Heine
Zimmerman. the great sprinter.
Zim's lifetime average is .3o2, made
possible by one highly successful year,
1913, when he led the National League.
From the American League comes
Cobb, Speaker, Jackson, Collins, Ba-
ker and McInnis. But the average
mastery record.
With the exception OF Speaker and
Jackson none have been able to bat
over 300 every year OF their big league
campaigns.
The lifetime average Of Sam
Crawford and Honus Wagner are
above the 300 mark, but they are not
considered as it is doubtful whether
either will be in uniform this year.
None of these players have been in
the major leagues as long as Cobb
and It is doubtful If any of them will
be able to maintain a 300 average
over the period Of time covered by
Cobb's record.

LOVED A REAL
GOOD HORSE
Kentucky Turfman Placed
Priceless Value on Bal
lyhoo Bey.

Louisville, Feb. IA crowd Of old
sports were talking of the great turf
men who hourished in the haicyon
days of the racing game.
And nearly every man admitted that
Of all the famous and well-known pa
irons OF the, turf there was none bet
ter than the late Senator William C.
Whitney.
There was a time when the influence
Of Mr.. Whitney predominated In East
ern racing circles.
Crooked racing men never took any
chances at any race track with which
William c. Whitney had anything to
do.
They knew their inevitable fate, so
far as the American turf was con-
cerned, II they were discovered in Jobs
on race courses with which Mr.. Whit
ney had any connection.
FROM the day Mr.. Whitney took his
position as a racing man he began his
quiet but merciless campaign against
the thieves and cadgers OF the turf,
and he never let up once he had clear
proof against them.
AONS VI ioNS AONo~
was an absolute passion with Mr..
Whitney.
He loved the horse for the power
and beauty and courage and nobility
of him. and not because Of his value
as a racing tool or his earning ca
pacity.
OF all the great horses that he ever
owned, l believe he loved the splendid
colt Ballyhoe- Bey, who won the fu-
turity for him the most
Ballyhoo Bey was considered q
speed marvel as a skylarking year
ling down in the old Bluegrass
country, but he was difficult to
train and when he was shipped
north in the beginning Of his =
year-old year to race in the great
fixtures for which he had been en-
tered the colt went amiss.
John Madden, the astute horse
man who had the colt in charge,
never lost faith in him. however.
and finally got him TO the post in
a race at Saratoga a week, or so
before the futurity.
Mr.. Whitney had previously wired
to England to have Tod Sloan, the
greatest OF all Jockeys, past and re-
cent, TO come to this country 10
ride BaIIhoo Bey in the futurity at
Sheepshead Bay.
When Sloan reached New York
Mr.. Whitney took him up to Sara
toga, to give BaIlyhoo Bey a work
out and find out what Sloan thought
of the colt.
Sloan sent the colt along at
racing clip for five furlongs.
'Is he any account Tod?' Mr..
Whitney asked the jockey when he
was climbing down from the colt.
Hes the fastest horse / ever
threw a leg over" the little Jockey
replied instantly.
Sloan rode Ballyhoo Bey in an
easy victory in the futurity stakes,
but the win was protested by Fox
hall Keene.
The latter, with his father, own
ed a couple OF horses in that race,
and protested on the ground that
Sloan allowed Ballyhoo Bey to
bump the Keene colts. and IL was a
well-known fact, that Mr.. Whitney
was never quite able to forgive
that accusation. for the race was a
fair one.
He sent the amount of the fu-
turity stakes to a Brooklyn hos
pital, utterly refusing to accept the
money after the protest had been
made, and he would never again
look at a race OF any kind of his
horses against Keene's horses.
