YALE CREW ID RETAIN ENGLISH
 ROWING STYLE

New Haven, Jan. 29-Ya1e's transi- ton from the coaching of Professor Abbott to that of Guy Nickalls will mean nothing revolutionary in the style of the crews or the method of selecting the men. Professor Abbott was formerly assistant to the famous English expert and the two teach rowing and racing strictly in accord- ance with basic English university principles. Both have rowed in fa- nous crews in England and both have had years of experience in coaching in their home land. So since the Ellis were committed to English methods, and to a marked degree to English rigging. Yale was fortunate in having Professor Abbott at hand to keep these methods alive in the absence of Nicka1ls who was in the service of his country during the war.
 Yet there Is some difference in the personalities of the two men. Nickalls is considerably more the exacting master, and also perhaps a little less patient when 1t comes to correcting faults. He is driving coach, who requires 8 vast amount of work from his men, and indeed oarsmen who must prepare for a short race and a four-mile event ip the same season have no time for tagging at the sweeps.
 English racing Instructions vary only slightly no matter what the dis tance of the race. A crew Is either told to go out in front and stay there, as in the case of the Yale-Prfnceton race last year, or to "stay with 'em'' until the ripe moment for the final challenge, which was the method em- pFoyed in the Yale-Harvard event.

SISLER ONLY ; MAJOR LEAGUE
 RIVAL OF RUTH

The only player in the major league -Nwho may be compared favorabIy with Babe Ruth in regard to ability to cov- CT expertly more than one position in the field is George Sisler of the Browns yet last season the famous star of the Mound City aggregation failed to lead the league in nore than was absent from the Browns line up fin eight games during the 1919 cam paign only three players in the cir cult cracked out more hits than George. They were Cobb, Veach and Jackson. Cobb and Veach each made 191 safe wa1lops, and Jackson rnanu factured 1S1, only one more than the extraordinary St. Louis player. Sisler was third in the number of total bases with 271 to his credit. Babe Ruth was first with 2S4, and Veach was second with 27s.
 Sisler made an attempt to crack ont more three base hits than any other player in Ban Johnson's circuit but at the close of the sea9on he had to share the honors with Harry Heil- man of the Tigers, each making fif- teen three baggers. As everybody knows that Babe Ruth trotted off wMh the home run wallops with twenty-nine to his credit. The next greatest number of home runs made by an individual player was ten and there were three players in the league
 who compiled that total. They were Sisler. Baker and c. Walker. It is noted that the combined number of four base hits made by the trio of slugsers was only one more than Ruth made.
 The Browns remarkable player is one of the fastest men in the league, and although he pilfered twenty eight bases the total was not enough to give him the advantage over every other rival Eddie Collins of the White Sox won the honors in that department, having stolen thirty Nhree times. Sisler's twenty eight Ateals were enough to give him sec ond place. No other player crossed the plate with as many runs as did Babe Ruth, who registered 103 times. Next on the list is Sisler, who with to only ten home runs to help him along crossed the plate ninety-six times.
 sisler excelled his rivals only in the
 matter of assists credited to a first l tbasenan. In the 132 games in which 1 he guarded the first stop, George was credited with 120 assists and was the only first sacker to reach the century
 mark. With a fielding percentage ] of .e91, he was tied for third place
 with wally Pipp and Risberg; the latter however, played in only twenty two games at first base for the White
 sox, and, therefore, is not considered a regular.

CARPENTIER-ID OF SOLDIERS VS. DEMPSEY
 IDLE IN WAR

The Home Sector. the ex-soldierS weekly conducted by the former edi- toria1 council of The Stars and Stripes, in contrasting the war records of Georges Carpenter, French heavy weight champion, and Jack Dempsey champion of the United States, says: "1f there is no unforeseen intervention or failure of plans, Jack Dempsey will climb into the squared ring next summer carrying the title of Amer ica's greatest fighter, and, in the most advertised. most lucrative prize fight in the history of sports. will endeavor to hold the worlds championship.
 "Ame erfca's greatest fighter! Pause over the pSrase.

 to Giants Is Report

New York, Jan. 29-Hank Gowdy, basebaIPs foremost soldier during the war and the hero of the 1914 worlds series, is the latest player to join the Holdout League. Hank yesterday sent back his contract to George Washington Grant. president of the Braves.
 Gowdy had a chance to make a lot of money in vaudeville after he got his discharge from the army last spring, but passed it up to sign with the Braves He said then he was 8 ball player, not an actor. Grant, however, paid him a salary in accord ance with his military prestEg ge. But the Braves were so far down last sea- son that even Gowdy couldn't bring out the fans. Hank didn't play the ball, either, that he did before going to war.
 It is understood that Hank got a cut in salary, and he dosen't take kindly to 1t. One report is that he is to be traded. It is said he will be traded back to McGraw. It wouldn't be- surprising to see Hanks smiling face back. on the Polo Grounds next season. If Gowdy comes here it prob- ably will be in a deal for one of Mo Graw's catchers. McGraw has Mo Carty, Smith, Snyder and Gonzales.

Black Rock Players
 Defeat Graphophone
 Five in Lively Game

In a rapid fire game the Black Rock Country Club basketball team on Tuesday night defeated the Col umb1a Graphophone team of the In- dustria1 League, 22 to 8. It was the fastest game played at the clubs gymnasium this year and remarkable improvement was shown by the Cbun- try Club team. Team work has been developed and much of the individual work of the players has been elimi- mated, leaving smooth, we'll oiled machine which will be heard from in basketball circles before the season ends.
 The entire Country Club team played real basketball from start to finish and there was no doubt about the result after the caging of the first two goals in less than one minute by the Black Rocks. The only SCOT ing by the Graphophones in the first half was three goals from fouls and and In the second half managed to score two goals from the field and one from a foul. In the meantime the Country Club team was busily engaged and threw eleven baskets 2
 Judge and Bergold alternated at center for the Country Club and played 8 splendid game both offen- sively and defensively, caging three goals between them, while the oppos- ing center didn't have a chance to make a basket. Bergo1d is rapidly developing and is sure of a place on the regular team. Fay, who played guard in the first half, is fast round ing into old time college form and has become one of the cogs in the machinery of the team Whitten seemed to be everywhere and had an uncanny way of dropping goal his opposing player from caging more than one. Stewart and Oneker played their usual reliable, steady game.
 For the Graphophone the passing of the team was excellent, and time after time they would take the ball the length of the floor only to lose it while vainly endeavortng to cage a basket. Their forwards played good basketball but had a lot of hard luck when it came to throwing goals.
 The line up;
 Graphophone Country Club Kennen R. F. Oneker Benge L. F. Stewart Ferrel c. Judge Eckart R. C.. Fay Griffin Ls G. Whittier,
 Goals thrown: Oneker 1; Stewart 1; Judge 2; Whitten 6; Bergold 1; Kenneu 1; Benge ]; Goals from fouls: Eckart 2; Benge 2. Substi- tutes: Bergold for Judge; Judge for Fay; Tanning for Kennel1; Lynch for Griffin.

HARDING's MoDEsTY.

The New York Evening Post has < extracted from the usually dry pages < of the Congressional Record, an in steresting self-appraisal made by Re publican Presidential Nominee liar ding, says the Commercial-Appeal. It was brought forth during the pro- gross of debate between Senator Lewis and Senator Harding, who then must have had small hopes of being , the leader of his party. Senator liar ding had described the methods used in floating the first Liberty loan as ssunseemly and hysterical," and he was being severely scored by Senator Lewis when Senator Reed interposed to suggest that his Ohio colleague cherished presidential ambitions.
 Senator Harding professed to treat the suggestion as joke and denied that he had any ambition to serve his country in any more exalted capacity than the post he already possessed. But he went beyond this modest dis avowal.
 l. should like it said, since the question has been raised, that think too well of my country to wish one of such incapacity in so exalted po- sition.
 ? Evidently the senator has changed his view, but whether he has increased his self esteem or lowered his esti- Janiate of his country is not recorded. $ It is not improbable that the country will accept Senator Harding at his i word. A great many believe he spoke nothing but the truth. As to whether these believers constitute majority of the country the voice of the ballots next November will make the best answer.
