BOAST VETERAN EIGHT
Five Of Last Seasons Varsity
Men Strive to Retain

Not IN years has Columbia been the
possessor of such a wealth of rowins

perienced men and a freshman sight
elected from one of the largest num-
Der OF yearlings that ever answered the
call for candidates at Morningsids
Heights.
The advantages Columbia will enjoy
this season over those OF other years
rests primarily in the fact that tho head
quarters will be at the Gould boat house
A lapse Of twenty years has character
lied this change Instead Of tho crew
men remaining three hours away from
their studies every afternoon. when they
used to go to the Edgewater quarters,
the time will be lessened to one hour.
Everything will be in readiness for
the crew men and coach as soon as the
preliminary 1nStruCtlOnb arc COnnplete.
Last week completed the transferring
OF the shells, oars and necessary para
phernalia from Edgewater to the Gould
boat house. Plaisted Is planning for i'm
mediate workouts.
One Of the most difficult problems be-
fore the coach and his staff Is the selec-
ton Of coxswains. The varsity prob
ably will have r Cohen once more. He
proved his ability under tho tutelage of
Jim Rice. But there are at least eight
undergraduates who tip the beam we'll

The London Letter

good deal has been heard OF late, the
Jockey Club may be trusted to look
after the interests OF all concerned. as
they have done in the past. There is
some agitation as to the question of
added money. and figures OF foreign
races are being quoted. which at first
glance seem to suggest that In this
country owners themselves subscribe to
q great part OF the stakes
Maintain High Standard.
but racing is conducted in the British
Isles on lines which all tend toward
maintaining the high standard OF the
thoroughbred and not altogether as a
spectacular performance. The sugges-
ton that the Cesarewich should be run
on a round course Is. in our opinion,
much to be deprecated. for we hold the
view that the present course offers a
greater test OF merit than does any
other cup course in the Kingdom. When
horses have turns TO negotiate in the
course OF race there must be some
easing up. and very frequently a scrim-
mage, for Jockeys viii try for inside
berths-which means less ground to be
covered
But when horses race on such a course
as that used for the Cesarewich, two
miles and a quarter with no turn In II
and only one very gradual and very
slight bend more than mile and a
quarter from home. the chances of
sorimmaEo arc minimixed and strength
and staying power are served in the
fullest degree

there seems little to get excited about
at this stage.
Rowdy Elliott. the second catcher on
the Cubs, has been discharged from
the navy. and OFarrell, brilliant
young prospect again, will be with the
team next season.
The chances are the Cub infeld OF
1919 will be much stronger than It was
last year when Deal played third and
Zeider second most Of the season. This
year Mitchell likely will play Pick on
third. Holocher at short. Kildufr at
second and Merkle on first
Pick came into the league last July,
and hit 1928 in 30 games, ranking fifth.
In the worlds series he outhit the reg
ular players Of both clubs with an aver
age OF .3s9. Pick played second base
for the Cubs last season. but he also
can play third. He was in that posi-
ton for the Athletics in 1916.
Holocher is bound to take the place
of Wagner as the great all around star
OF the National League. Tho youngster
in many ways resembles the old Pitts
burg marvel, especially in his STOPPING
shoulders and long arms, which give
him an abnormal reach He also gives
evidence OF possessing Wagner's ability
at bat, as he dashed out an aveage Of
.316 in his first year in the league.
Then Pete sIumped.
Pete Kilduff formerly with the Giants.
| likely will be returned to the second
base position on the Cubs He has been
discharged from the navy, and hopes to
regain his former job. In the second
half of the 1917 season, after the Giants
traded him to the Cubs for Demaree.
| Kildufrs playing at bat as well as in
! the field was one of the features of the
league However. Peter got of to bad
start last year. and was hitting only
.2O4 when he entered the navy.
Merkle had a splendid season at bat
last year, hitting .297. His bungling
early in the season enabled the Cubs to
cut down New York's big lead. But
| Fred no longer is the same shifty fielder
OF old, and Mitchell Is on the lookout
for a younger first baseman.
The Cub outfield possesses a lot OF
speed and played above its normal form,
last year. Mann, a great base runner
hit better than at any time in his career
but It is doubtful II he can go that way
this year against stronger pitching.
Dode Psskert. traded to Chicago by
the Phillies, also had n wonderful year
but Dode now is 81. and no can't las,
forever.
Max F1ack, in right field, showed more
last season than any time since he came
into the National League. However. the
class of pitching was much like that OF
the Federal League, in which Max wal
a star.
! On the whole, Fred Mitchell has q
team that stands UP we'll with anything
In the league. and his pitchers should
make his team almost as much of
favoritS for tine pennant as were tii'
