SOx VS.. GIANTS
FOR BIG SERIES
Barring Accidents, N. Y.
And Chicago Seem Ger
tain to Be in Series.

More and more. as the races tighten
up. II becomes apparent that New
York and Chicago, barring accidents,
this year will provide the fields for
the greatest event In haseban-the
world series.
The White Sox and Yankees. in the
American League, apparently have an
edge in the pretty race now being
staged IN the Johnson organization.
The Giants and Cubs are the class
of the National field and the race
should be between these two-and a
bitter. heartbreaking. ding-dong fin-
ish it should prove.
There's Q chance that both Chicago
teams may win. as once happened
back In 1905. and there's a chance
that both New York teams may win
and then fight out the world title
question on tho Polo Grounds; then,
there's the chance that the Cubs and
Yankees may battle. and the possi-
bility. too. of IL repetition of the 1917
struggle in case the Giants and White
Sox come through.
In the National organzaton the
series now ON In Chicago between the
Cubs and the Giants Is an important
one. The former are now staging
thciF oiS rush. Iney went badly In
the West In April and badly when
they Were East in May. Anybody
could hit their star pitchers. and they
In return couldn't touch the "dubs''
OF other teams. But now they have
passed the turn in the road.
McGraw should get good pitching,
too. Schupp's showing In Cincinnati
was most encouraging, and a few
more games to harden up the young
ster and he will be in 1917 fettle.
Cleveland and Cincinnati are the
teams I'm the American and National
leagues. respectively. that may up
het the New York-Chicago dope. "
The Indians, however. are having a
lot of trouble with their pitchers,
and the Reds are having in and out
hurting and a weakened outfield.
1t looks as though the Wanted
world champions, the Boston Red
Sox. can be counted out of the pres
ent pennant race unless a sudden. i'm
provement comes In their pitching and
they get better playing at second
base.

YALE 0ARSMEN
MEET HARVARD
Old Rivals to Row Friday
For First Time Since
1916.

New York. June I5.-Again il is
June and once more those familiar
little flags mark out the lanes in
the four-mile rowing course on the
Thames at New London. Again the
camps at Red Top and Gales Ferry
are all abustle and the old river is
allVe with lusty young oarsmen and
their frail shells, for Harvard and
Yale have come back to the Thames
for their annual regatta.
After a lapse of two years-two
war-ridden Strings which were
marked by only one Harvard Yale
regatta over the two-mile course
on the Housatonic River-the old
rivals have come back to the his
toric stretch OF water at New Lon
don and next Friday win see them
have 1t out again in the races for
varsity. second varsity and fresh
man crews. On the eve of the re-
gatta there may be a race between
combination crews and a sculling
match between Prof. Mather Abbott,
Harvard mentor.
regatta on the Thames was rowed
on June 53, 1916, and IL resulted in
utter rout for Yale. Not only did
Harvard win all three races. but its
varsity lowered the record for the
downstream course from 30 minutes
10 seconds, as established by the
Ellis in 1888, to 20 minutes 2 Sec
onds. The record for the upstream
course still stands at 30 minutes Sc
seconds. AS this years contest will
be rowed downstream that mark will
not be in jeopardy. Nor do we
think that the downstream record
will be in any danger either, for
neither Of the 'varsities seems to be
capable of anything like the per-
formanct of tho Harvard eight of
three Years ago.
The spring Of 1917 saw America
enter the war and the regatta was
cancelled. In 1918 1t was decided to
revive the races. but not to go back
to New London, The regatta was
taken to the Housatonic. and Har-
ward won both the varsity and the
freshman races. There was some
idle talk of giving up New London
for good. But with the return of
peace and with calm consideration
taking the place of war hysteria It
was seen thdt tue ihames was tho
only place for the regatta. and so
1t is to the Thames that we re-
turn next Friday.
The Harvard Yale races on Friday
will be the fifty-second since the
colleges rowed their first regatta on
Lake winipesaukee. at Center Har-
Dor. N Hv back in 1852. Those early
races were over short courses. In
1875 New London became the scene
of the annual struggles. To date
Harvard has won twenty-six varsity
races and Yale twenty-five, so this
years contest presents - ~ n'ue
the opportunity to even the score.

That it is not really necessary for
player loading down a caddy for
twenty-five or thirty pounds of
clubs every time a player wants to

Barnes never uses but two clubs-a

creditable game
