Panama Wireless Says She Has

.pHiLADELPHIANS IN CREW

The Pennsylvania Railroad steam
ship Panama reported by wireless this
morning that she had discovered the po-
sition of the reported burning freighter,
William Henry Webb, off fuckers
Beach. \. j.
No mention of the fire, which last
hight was reported raging in the hold
of the United States shipping board
vessel, is made in the Panama's wire
Jess, but the William Henry Webb is
believed to be foundering helplessly in
the seas.
The wireless reported that the Pan
Ama was standing by and was prepared
to take the disabled steamship in tow
when conditions enabled.
Distress calls We're sent out from
the freighter yesterday. Several yes
sells picked up the call and hurried
toward her position. The Panama was
evidently the first to reach her side.
THE William Henry Webb was en- route
from Philadelphia to New York on her
maiden trip. She has n crew of TWEEN
ty- three. many of them Philadclphians.
Uhe vessel left this port Wednesday,
to take aboard cargo for China! She
is of 5000 deadweight tons.
The Webb is not the only shipping
board vessel in distress. radio has

with funds to attain their fondest
wishes. When the war broke out 1t

out in time. Returning to India by
America they saw just enough of the

So here they are today; to see every

British Isles.

years and years and even then ! doubt
if the Mohammedan will forsake his re

home rule in India because of the vio-
lent hate which exists between the
Hindu and the Mohammedan.

on every word her sister utters. at is
all true. But we do love Great Britain
and America because everything moves
with such regularity there, one need

Things are peaceful at most times

doctor.

People have much time to work and
grow wealthy. You know, we have our
millionaires there, too" she concluded.
The khambattas apparently are
numbered among them. When the King
and Queen of England visited India
before the war, Doctor Mithi was sent
as maid of honor to the queen from the
Parsee community. whose contribution
to the festival Of welcome was to cast
real pearls and flowers in the pathway

the money but was unsuccessful. Ig-

Yale and Pennsv
Crews Race To-day
On the Schuylkill

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-The eyes
of the college rowing world will be
turned toward the Schuylkill River to-
morrow afternoon. Ushcring in what
is expected to be the greatest year in
the history of the sport, Yale and the
University. of Pennsy ylvania will match
oars over the American Henley course
OF one and tve-siXteenths miles.
Two races will be rowcd, the first at
1870, between the juniors and the
other a half hour later, between tie
varsity shells. The latter race will be
the big event Of the day Penn is a
slight favoritc TO win the varsity race,
although the Yale blades have made By
far the better impression since their
arrival here last Wednesday,
Weather conditions may have an i'm :
portant bearing on the outcome. A high
wind would tend to make the water
choppy, and at this time Of the year
there is no telling what pranks the
winds will play. The rains Of the last
few days have affected the current. and
this is a factor the rival oarsmcn must
make allowance for.
Earlier practice is one Of the reasons
Penn is favoritc over the Ellis. Coach
Joe Wright and his Red and Blue oars
mon were on the indoor rowing ma
chimes very early, and they took to the
water before the Yale crews. On the
other hand, Wright has done lot of
experimenting and shifting in the Penn
boat TO mould together a satisfactory
combination.
Guy Nlckalls, the Yale coach. has not
encountered this difficulty. Yale has
show. better racing form than Penn in
practice skirmshes. On Thursday the
Blue sweeps registered eight seconds
faster time for tho Henley course than
their Red and Blue rivals. The Yale
varsity beat the junior in
minutes and 5 seconds, while the best
Ponn's first shell could do was 7 min
utcs and i3 seconds. This. however, is
very poor time for the Henley course
and is hardly q good test of the speed
the two crews possess.

Deciding Tally in Ninth
From, a Special Correspondent

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 2.-Bcn-
jamin Kauff-there you have the hero
Of the Giants thrilling to victory
over the Boston Red Sox in the tenth
game of the exhibition series which
was staged here this afternoon on the
baseball field Of the Vanderbilt Uni
versty. In the third inning. the little
outfelder crashed triple to left
which scored pair of runners, while
in the ninth. Benjamin rammed a
clean single to center field, far from
the reach of Harry Hooper.
This blow brought the pastime to a
close, as eArthur Fletcher crossed the
plate with the winning run. 1t was
the fifth consecutive victory for the
New York team. Ten games have been
decided so far. and of this number the
Giants have achieved victory in seven.
Hoyt Proves Puzzling
For awhile it appeared as if the Red
habit of McGraw's men. Going into
the ninth round, the American
Lcagucrs had two-run advantage.
Waite Hoyt, the Brooklyn youngster,
vas officiating for the Red Sox. The
Giants have had considerable trouble
in landing against Hoyt's curves and
victory for the New York team looked
hopeless.
Lew McCarty was nominated to bat
for Benton in the final session. The
rally was on when the catcher smashed
double to right. Hoyt suddenly lost
control of the ball and passed both
Burns and Young. crowding the sacks.
Fletcher cam across with a tiemly
single. Barnes who was sent in to
run for McCarty scored easily. So
did Burns when Hooper fumbled the
ball
Young went to third on he hit.
Doyle hit fly to Eibel in short right
field, and the responsibility of it ested
upon kauff's shoulders. Benny fancied
the first ball Hoyt whizzed over, and
the next instant the leather spheroid
went sailing on a line to center field.
lost was now won.
The Giants tried hard to give the
Red Sox the game. They booted the
ball around freely, and errors helped
Boston in most of it's scoring Shufflin
Phil Douglas pitched the first four in
] nings for the Giants and allowed only
two hits and one run. Benton replaced
him. Rube was not so effective as
usual, and the Sox nicked him for
three runs in the eighth and another
in the ninth.
Douglas was a trifle shy on control
at the start and walked Hooper, Nc
Nally hit Texas Lacquer to center,
Hooper stopping at second. Menoskey
bunted safely over Frisch's head and
the bases were crowded with Red Sox.
Mclnnis hit into double play, Fletcher
to Doyle to Kelly, Hooper crossing the
! plate. Frisch followed by making a
nifty stop of Eibcl's grounder down
the third base line
Frisch knocks Home Run
The Giants matched this run in the
second inning. After Kauff was thrown
out by McNally, Frisch slammed the
ball over the right field seats for a
home run. The ball hit tree and
/ bounded back into the field. Kelly
walked, but Hooper made pretty catch
of Smiths long drive and Scott tossed
out Douglas.

rived here this afternoon. He is sched-
ulcd to hold conference with Ed
