ing Henley date was said by Harvard
rowing authorities to make it doubtful
whether either university would be req.
resented abroad. Postponement of the New
London regatta is considered impra ctica bic
because the date is governed by COM
lmencement and arranged for the benefit
of graduates. The possibility of sending a
second or special crew will be considered
The Union Boat Club already has Sc,
about preparation of crew to challenge
for the Grand Cup, and may also send in
dividuals as competitors in the Diamond
Sculls event. Lothrop Wilmington, one
time Harvard captain. who has been ap-
pointed captain of the Union crew, said
today that thirty men, including a score
of oarsmen who won their letters at Har-
ward OF other colleges, had appeared as
candidates, and that practice in the tank

DEVELOPING BALL
STARS PROFITABLE
Sixteen Sales Have Brought JACK
Dunn, of Baltimore Club,
S13o,0oO.

With ball players OF major lea que calibre
scarce and with club owners willing to pay
record prices, the development of diamond
talent shoud become a profitable pastime
in the minor leagues. The minors usually
obtain their players at little or no cost and
have everything TO gain and nothing to
lose. With proper handling and instruc-
tion youngsters can sometimes be made
ready for the majors within year or two
and in the meantime they are earning their
salaries. Stars that flash in the minors,
that lead their leagues in batting or in
twirling. can under present conditions be
disposed of at figures ranging from $1,000
to $4,000, depending on the amount of
attention they have attracted and the
number of bidders for their services.
The majors are the ones that take all
the chances. Very often a youngster that
set his fellow players a record pace in
the minors falls down completely when he
joins fast company. AT other times a
rookie that has not been so highly touted
becomes a star the moment he strikes the
big town." The Yankee club had one
experience with a Baltimore pitcher that
they have good cause to remember. His
name was fSuDe MeduOWS, anu ic leu thc
Eastern League twirers the year the New
York club bought him from Jack Dunn for
$500 The day he joined the Yankee club
Meadows appeared to have lost everything
he ever had showed so little in fact that
he never even pitched one game and was
released unconditionally.
Jack Dunn, by the way. has been by Tar
the most successful developer OF minor
league ball players in recent years. HIS
ability to bring out the best youngster
had and his good fortune in discovering
promising candidates have netted him
tidy sum since he became owner OF the
Baltimore Orioles. Sixteen deals, most OF
them with major league clubs, nave
brought Dunn a total of $4,000. His big
gest transaction was with the Red Sox' IN
1913 when he sold the now famous BABE
Ruth. Ernie Shore and Egan for S2sWV.
Next In size was the sale of Herbert Thor-
mahlen, Chick Fewster and Frank Lamar
to the Yankees two years ago. That deal
was worth $1,000 TO the Baltimore ciuo
owner Besides the Yankees and Red' SoN'

Athletics. Cubs and Reds.

GOULD TO PLAY INSELLA.

Jay Gould, the court tennis champion,
and Walter A. Kinsella, the professional,
who recently made an unsuccessful at
tempt to win the open title from him. will
meet again on Sunday morning at the
Tuxedo Tennis and Racquet Club OF
Tuxedo, n. Y. 1t will be an exhibition
affair. best three out of five sets, for the
benefit of Robert Moore, who has been
professional at Tuxedo for many years.
The latter began his career as racouets
and court tennis instructor at the Prin-
cess Club of London in 1880. In 1882 he
came to the Racquet Club Of New York,
but returned to London after two years.
He came back to this country in 1856. re-
NAMED three years and made anothei'
trip across the ocean before he finally
decided to spend the rest Of his career a
the Tuxedo Club. where he is now engaged.
The match will be a sort OF testimonial
to the professional, who is credited witt,
develoning among others Clarence c. Pell.
the present national amateur racquets
champion. and Stanley G. Mortimer, who
shares the doubles title with Pell. Incl
dentally the match will be watched with
interest, because of the fact that kinseka
played under a physical handicap against
Mr.. Gould recently, one Of his ribs HAVING
been injured. He is undoubtedly in better
shape now to extend the champion.
