COLLEGE CREWS ARE EXPECTING
 GREAT SEASON

New York April 1.---IntercoIegiat rowing, which was eclipsed by the cloud of war in 1917 and emerged only partly last season, will come forth this season with renewed vigor.
 For weeks and weeks aspiring can dfdates have been toiIing away in the long grind of winter practice, but the end of all that is in sight. for on Saturday the first of the seasons races will be rowed on the SEzuylkil River course in Philadelphia between the varsity etghts of Pennsylvania and Yale.

 After the big races on the Thames at New London and on the Hudson at Poug:hkeepsde, interest in aquatics win be maintained by the fact that the best of the college crews Or per- ha.ps two university eights---most likely the winners of the New Lon don and PoDghI1eepsie FacAs---wflI be selected as part of the American row ing contingent for the trip to the Olympic games.

MEUSEL GIVEN
 3RD BASE JOB AS BAKER QUITS

Jacksonville, F'la-, April 1.---Frank Baker, for several years star third baSernan of the Yankees, has had an- other change of heart He will not return to the New York club and Huggins announced last night that until further notice Bob Meusel, the slugging lad from the Pacific Coast would be the clubs regular third base man.
 Colonel Huston half owner of the Yankees, saw Baker three weeks ago and on arriving at Miami, where the Tanks were then playing the Reds Huston said he considered it a cer- tainty that Baker would rejoin the club. Baker then said if he could get a proper person to take care of his two motherless children he would join the club.
 In a. letter received yesterday by Manager Huggins, Baker said he did not think it would be right for him to leave his children so soon after tho death of their mother. Since the death of the mother the children cling continually to the father who Is their sole companion.
 Huggins said that it was easy to see from Bakers letter that he was loatf to quit the diamond 'He still loves baseball and loves to play foot ball as much as ever,' said Huggins. But Baker is a fellow who has very high sense of moral obligations, and the way he has figured it out his first duty is to his children.
 'tWe accept this as his final word, and will not try any further to get him to rejoin the club. Perhaps, a1- ter a few months, Baker may see things differently. If he cares then to rejofn the club, he will be welcome.
 Tn the meantime, it is my inten- ton to use Meusel as the regular third baseman of the club. also am hopeful that the big fellow can step into Bakers shoes and be the same power to the clubs offense as Frank was during my connection with the club He can hit a ball as hard and as far as Baker. I also am hoping he will hit as frequently
 Hu9gins admitted that Meuse1 wa far from being a finished fielder, and said he wished he was as sure of the players fielding as he is of his bat ting.
 T have changed Meusels fielding style, so that he gives more with a ball and takes a ball somewhat to his side" continued Huggins. He has been losing too much time in stoop- ing for balls, and several have hit his shins. But he is natural ball player quick to learn, and he will show con- Sistel1t irnprov eme ent''

Both in the eighth and ninth innings the Braves opened on GIasier with a double but failed to score each time. On both of these occasions the young pitcher showed at his best and struck out three men in both innings. Manager Howley was more than pleased when he heard of the youngsters fine work and it added to his assurance that he will not have to worry over his pitch ing establishment

SIMILAR TO OTHER REFORMS
They Always Bring Out a Lot of
CranIs With Queer ideas Too
Absurd for Consideration.

Baseball's reform" wave is Just
like all other cleanups in that it has
brought out number of radical pro-
pOsals which seem too absurd for seri-
Gus consideration in spite of the fact
that some OF them have come from
men high up in baseball's realm,
writes Charles ]. Brill in the Okla
hOma City OklahOman.
Abandon the worlds SERIES" is the
suggestion of l. e. SanbOrn, one Of
baseballs most famous critics, ascrib-
ing to this sport classic all the gam
bling and other ills of which the ma
tiOnal game seems possessed While
the gambling scandal which caused
this upheaval is traceable to the
worlds series. nevertheless there Is no
reason 10 believe that crOOkedness
would not have crept into regular
games, ms, a matter Of fact really did.
Baseball pools, now under investiga-
ton, were not made on the worlds
series. This suggestion seems no more
sensible than would one to cut off a
hand to prevent warts growing on the
fingers. 1t seems like a fallacy SINH

suppress gambling by clamping down

CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Marked Effect Upon Prices That the
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay
for the Product.

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms to the city market is the OBJ
ject of an investigation Of practices
In various milk plants, which is be-
ing made by the dairy division Of the
United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture. Milk losses during shipment
have a marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product, and upon the price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses are of two kinds; those re-
sulting from milk souring in transit,
and those from theft, spoil$ge and
leakage. Both are believed to be
avoidable If the farmer, country deal
er and city dealer win work to-
gether.
Dealers are being asked to give in
formation on various subjects, such as
the methods used for transporting milk
from the farm to the dealer, the pro-
lection provided for milk while in
transit between dealer and the city
market, and the relative efficiency Of
different types of refrigerator cars.
