Q HORTY McCABE, he of the pic
~ turesque lingo and the slam straight
from the shoulder style of getting there,
hobs up serenely again in Sewell Ford's
new collection Of the physical culturist's
adventures. Eighteen times does Shorty
go to the bat with tale and each time
he manages to cause fifteen or twenty min
utes to instantaneously disappear. If
you don't like the Shorty McCabe school
Of fiction you won't be able to abide
Shorty, for he is type with vengeance
and he remains type from start to finish
Slangy, adroit with comical metaphors
and SMILES, full of what the professors
call virile Americanisms, but what in the
zippier nomenclature of New York is
known as "pep," Shorty relates a num-
Der Of tales that always hold the interest
however weak their situations may be. It
is the way Shorty talks, the confidential
colloquial manner in which he clothes his
The sun., 1919-09-14

argument, that make the stories go.
One may also offend Mr.. Sewell Ford
by asserting that his character (Shorty,
not Mr.. Ford's) is what is known as whole
some. Shorty has the big heart, the ev,-
dent desire to help his more helpless deni-
zens of this tough world. Many of the
stories in this latest volume possess some
war interest and it is worked in with an
admirable restraint from too much flag
waving. Naturally we gather that Shorty
is patriot but there are no black head
lines in the presentation.
To select the best from series Of
eighteen stories, all of which are obviously
cut from the same bolt Of cloth, is both
impairment and thankless task. If
you like one of them you will probably
like the other seventeen. They carry no
grave pretensions TO the higher realms of
literature but they are entertaining and
remarkably easy reading.

"Tanburlaine"

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE'S Tam
~ burIaine the Great is now accessible
to amateur dramatic clubs in an excellent
acting version made by Edgar Montillion
Woolley and Stephen Vincent Benet. To
such societies as care to attempt the pro-
duction Of SO ambitious play this quaint
looking little volume will be very helpfel;
but in these days when not one profess
sional actor In a thousand knows the diff
ference between blank verse and prose,
it Is not to be hoped that amateurs can be
found who will even attempt to declaim
the magnificent rolling lines Of Kit Mar
lowe. However, the play is worth pro-
ducing, and perhaps some day lovers of
pure defamation may have the oppor-
tunity Of hearing Tamburlaine's magnif-
cent spoutings on the boards of theatre
One can imagine one of the old timers
reciting the prologue:
"From jigging veins of rhyming mother
wits,
And such conceits as clownage keeps in
pay,
Wen lead you to the stately tent Of war,
Where you shall hear the Scythian Tam
burlaine
Threatening the world with high astound-
ing terms,
And scourging kingdoms with his con-
quering sword.

Yale Eight Loses
Two Strong Oarsmen

NEW HAVEN, March 2S.-Yale has
lost two of the most valuable members
of the varsity crew through the illness
Of Godfrey Rockefeller and M. r. Pat
terson. Neither has returned to col
lege with the other members Of the
rowing squad who reported yesterday
after spending the spring vacation at
home. in the case of Rockefeller no
hope is felt that he will be able to row
in any OF the April and May races.
Professor Mather A. Abbott. the
coach, said to-day that the loss Of
Rockefeller was especially severe be-
cause he regarded that oarsman one
of the most promising he has ever
seen at Yale. Both men have been
seated in the first varsity eight since
the squad reported early this spring,
Rockefeller at No. 6 and Patterson as
No. 2.
Rockefeller was member of the
freshman crew two years ago and re-
turned to college last January from
a years military service. Before fill
ing the two places DR.. Abbott will prob
ably make several changes in the COM
position of the varsity EIGHT in prepar-
alton for it's race with the University
of Pennsylvania which opens the Yale
rowing season on April 10.

Professional Champ;on
Defeats Reid in Final
Round in Three Sets
By A. c. Cavagnaro

Walter A. Kinsella, world profs.-
sional squash tennis champion. sill,
reigns supreme in his speciality. Th;.
he proved in convincing fashion when
he dccisively defeated James I. Riea
Crescent Athletic Club, in the sn,,
round of the annual handicap tourna.
ment which ended on the Squash Cluh
courts yesterday.
The scores of 15--7. 1S--14. ia
give clear conception of the superior.
ity of Kinsella over his rival. Tb;,
superiority is further brought ons
through the fact that the champ;on
played from the handicap of minus
9 aces. while Ried enjoyed an allow
ance of plus aces at the start of each
game Kinseila was at his best es.
pecially in the second game, when he
had to call into play every clever shot
in his category TO overcome the leaa
gained by Ried.
The principal factor in Kinsella's
victory was his ability to mix up his
game constantly, Ried being kept on
the alert to solve the attack. Kinsella
frequently drew applause by tricking
Ried out of position with exceptionally
low shots that could not be returned.
Ried was also forced to run frantically
around the court to intercept Kin
sella's varied assortment Of shots
which he smashed off the wall at sharn
angles. Ricd at times succeeded in
getting his racquet to Kinsella's ter
rife kills but often found the ball
swishing past his ear
kinsella placed his shots remarkablv
we'll throughout the match. In this
way he collected 20 points, while his
smashing and sharp cut shots COM
PEELED Ried to forfeit % aces through
failure to return the ball. The point
analysis for the match shows that the
title holder actually made rs aces to
10 for Ried.
Long rallies featured she OPENING
game and both men set a lively pace
hlnsells quickly warmed to his best
playing and after six hands had come
within striking distance of his rival.
HIS kip shots were proving difficult
for Ricd to handle. Kinsella was
pressing strong attack and by count
ing his points in clusters soon as
sumcd the lead at 8 to T. He then held
Ried scoreless for the remainder of
the game.
The second game was a bitter tussle
As'SN OhCN'HS Qttiucu DTdCe Ill ms
playing. He scored several aces against
klnseila on front wall kills" that the
champion could not return propor.y
After Kinsclla had attained an advan-
tage of TO 4, Ried showed his grit
by taking the lead at II TO 6. He in
creased his lead to 13 to 8, but then
Kinsella evened matters at l3 all. Not
relaxing his attack, Kinsella poled to-
gether run of six points and after
three more hands counted the winning
point on miss by Ried.
Kinsella settled the issue in the third
game in quick fashion, only failing to
score in one of the ten hands that he
required to accumulate his necessary
"a points. AT the end of the fifth 1And
Kinsclla had passed Ried and held a
lead of 10 4. The champion then
showed his remarkable smashing abi-
ity by driving the ball with such light
ming speed that Ried foundered about
hopelessly attempting to return the
ball
