J. s. COLLEGE BOYS MAKE ROWING CREW
 FUR PARIS REGATTA
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, April 17.-The roster of the American crew which will take part in the international regatta on the Seine April 27, reads like an all-American selection, and college yells, more fa- miliar to Poughkeepsie than to Paris, will startle the natives on racing day. The Amercian crew is made up as fol- lows:
 Bow, Sergeant Collis s. Cole. Yale: CD Private Royal Bird, Cornell; (3) Sergeant Howard McHenry, Yale; (4) Captain James Brinkerhoff, Cornell; (5) Lieutenant Tommy Jeffers, Har ward; co Captain Royal Pullen, Uni versity of Washington; CO Captain Harry Cabot. Harvard; stroke. Lieu tenant H. s. Brooks, Cornell; Lieuten- ant Guy Gale, University of Califor mia, coxswain.
 The crew under the coaching of Captain C. D. Wiman. Yale, 1915. has adopted a combination of the Yale Harvard stroke which is working eff ficiently
 The Yankee coxswain, who is an expert aviator and pilot, told the cor respondent yesterday that should the Seine continie to rise, he would hurdle ' the bridges with his shell as there was more room over than under. The req son given for the withdrawal of the English crew is that when they came 1 to the Seine for training, they did not like the French type of boat, which is 1 heavier than the English, and 'ecided not to compete.
 ! Each crew is made up of War vet 1 erans. The New Foundlande are showing a surprising amount of speed. l The coach, however said that his men were handicapped because they were unaccustomed to sliding seats.
 The Australian and New Zealand crews are training on the Thames but are expected in Paris Sunday. The i Portugese crews have been on the water since February, and the French 1 oarsmen are veterans who have rowed together for years.
 The dark horse in the race is Alsace- Lorraine The men representing these provinces are training in secret on the
 Rhine
 Thus, sturdy crews are dipping their
 blades in some of the most famous rivers in the world, the Seine, the
 Thames and the Rhine, in preparation
 for the inter allied water carnival
 which promises to be one of the big sporting and social spectacles of the French season.

In the indictment, consisting of four counts. Fain is said to have presented for payment to B. N. Gibbs, chief of the field division of the land office, under whom he was acting as special agent, four sub-vouchers for expenses that were never contracted. The vouchers were approved by Gibbs and forwarded to Denver, where the disbursing officer paid them.
 It is claimed by the government, ac- pcording to the indictment, that four amounts, totalling s125, were collected by Fain, for automobile hire and per diem that were never paid out for these purposes at all. They were included in his (Fain's) expense account, or "swin dle sheet" covering the month of Jan- uary, 1918. Later Investigations, which have not yet been introduced in evil dence, are said to prove that Fain had secured the money by making false claims. This is the basis of the pros ecution which is being conducted by Assistant United States Attorney John H. Langston and Assistant Attorney McFall. P. H. Hayes represents Fain.
 Should Fain be found guilty of the charges against him, the ''swindle 'sheet' will be in bad odor, fors to tam-

Ha:SSpOP]EzS.A HE pTTCHED THE OAKS TO VICTORY VESTERDA A
(BY cAPUT

Reaction in favor of scientific boxing has been decidedly noticeable in almost every state in the union during the last few weeks. While Carolina's lower house failed to pass a ten-round measure Wednesday, there is still hope among the boxing fans and en- thusiasts of that state that the measure had not entirely lost caste with the legislators. In New York, an innova- ton has been established, the state senate there having permitted ten- round engagements, subject to the supervision of the army and navy. In many other states of the union, the example of the splendid exhibition of army and navy boxing has occasioned a reflex action powerfully in favor of the manly art.
 Legality of ten-round boxing in Arizona opens an opportunity for pro- motors and managers to establish good, clean boxing exhibitions that will give the sport a bill of health that none can question. To establish and try to maintain an athletic club in this city and state upon any other basis is doomed to failure from the start A club that is operated on the same high plane that Jack Doyle is maintaining at his arena in Vernon, California, will be credit to the legislature that gave 1t parentage. It is a noticeable fact that Doyle's exhibitions number among the spectators, week after week, larger numbers of women who both appreciate and encourage clean sport of this char acter, whenever 1t is staged in the right manner.
 Practically every division in the army, every ship in the navy and every section of both the land and sea forces. has its bantam, light, middle and heavyweight champions; the fighting forces of the United States, under the supervision of their commanding of- ficers, not excluding the very highest, have saved boxing from the garbage heap of discarded sports. In just the same manner as this sport has been developed and maintained in our mili- tary and naval ranks it can and should De supported in civil life. It is a cinch that the I. M. C. A. and all Phoenix people that have an appreciation of the possibilities there are in boxing will be friendly to any club that breaks a season of good programs, at reason able prices and conducts them in a truly sportsmanlike manner. The snort itself is worth encouragement; those that handle it can deserve the same cooperation.

AN ISLAND OF MYSTERY

From "A Tenderfoot in the Tropics" "
 by Mack P. Cretcher)
 Mindoro, in the Philippine group, is something of mystery. Other islands are rather thickly populated, but Min doro is something of a mystery. There is a fringe of population around the shoreline. but the interior of the big explored. It is claimed that but one island is practically unknown and un- white man. Dean Worcester, ever has crossed the interior of Mindoro..
 Why the island has remaine& thus for nearly three hundred years is some. thing of mystery. It is said that there is gold in abundance on this is land. and where there is gold there usually can be found white men willing to go after it. whether in frozen waste or tropic heat, but Mindoro's secrets remain safely hidden.

Applicants for the course are care
fully selected, and registrants are APP
pearing in large numbers. With the
same independence as to recreation

The yer purpureum Horace loved
Is coming up the valleys;
The violet-colored spring he sung
With winters coattails dallies;
We're ready for it any day
Up here at Jim McNally's.
We're glad the sun is running high
And paying earth attention.
He's going up like other things
Too numerous TO mention;
There's nothing that's too low in Burke
But the widow Plunkett's pension.
The cattle hook the barnyard fence.
The sheep are all a-bleating;
The colts, they stomp their straw and
hay
And call for better eating;
The singing school has gone the way
OF that protracted meeting.
The barber leaves his door ajar,
The peanut cart is steaming:
The folks are planning seashure trips
That do the schoolhouse teaming:
The teachers hope 10 summer through
by eating grass and scheming.
The Singing sparrow dapts lts throat
To pure Italian quavers.
The dandelion roots commence
To gather juicy favors:
The alley kids begin to lick
The other little shayers.
The rarmer men are working fast,
The farmercttes still faster;
They're looking into dirts aud sqaits,
The nitrate group and plAstei,
BY fall they hope to be d. rich
As her twas Mrs. Astor
Depressing war has stopped at last
And everybody rallies;
It's great to see the violet spring
A-ereeping through the valleys;
We're ready for it any day
Up here at Jim McNally's.
