splashing, numbering along, but
nearly lifting the boat out of the
water with the sheer fury of their
efforts, passed Cornell and for a
few yards held the Quarter length
lead over one of the fastest crews
Pop Courtney ever turned out.
Cornelrs answering squirt, for all
Cornelrs perfect form, was barely
enough to win from Stanford by
inches. At the end several fell over
in the Cornell boat, while the STAN
ford boys sat up straight and
seemed to have something left.
why Athletes Crats<.
I've known instances where col
lege oarsmen went to pieces in a
short time after leaving college,
But in every case it was because
of the sudden let-down from hard
training. careful dieting, early
hours and perfect condition, to the
soft, easy life of a graduate with
nothing on his mind but a little
business and a lot of relaxation" :"
Value of Sentiment.
Pop Courtney, who died this year,
will long be remembered in rowing.
Courtney, Ward and James Ten
Eyck were veterans of thu time
when professional rowing was a
great sport. Courtney and Ten
Eyck were close rivals, each pro-
ducing a number of winners. but
Courtney, with Cornell's big stu
dsnt body to draw from, held the
lead.
Jim Courtney was a great coach
and his boys would do anything in
the world for him. The sentimental
relationship between crews and
coach was shown each year during
the race, for Courtney was unable
go endure the nerve strain of see
ing his crews come down the river
to the finish line. He always walk
ed behind the boathouse as soon as
the shells passed under the bridge,
sat down where he couldn't see the
river and whitfield a stick until
some of the boys brought him ths
news.
Was talking with Jack Dempsey
in California the other day. With
Jack was his friend Mr.. Vandyke,
moving picture director when Jack
was a movie hero last year. Jack
and Van ware shooting a little golf
and Van had just driven a neat
225 yards.
Wow" said Dempsey. We'll.
you can't scare me-"
'T can't, eh?' said Vandyke.
You'll never forget the time I
scared you"
Jack blushad and grinned.
That's one time I sure was
scared" he admitted.
Then he explained:
I'VE were out at Brunton Studios
working and a lot of the boys wers
dressed up like cowpunchers and
Mexicans and they looked like a
pretty tough bunch. Just for fun
1 said to one of them:
You can't scare me with those
guns
Van was standing nearby, and he
said to the guy:
Stick him up!'
The guy showed a gun into my
stomach. and just then Van fired
two shots right close behind me.
'-Scared! .- ---e--- --.
Say. I thought the fellow who
pushed the gun into my ribs fired
those two shots. I thought 1 was
shot clean in two. You know how
they say a fellow doesn't feel it at
first when he's shot. l didn't feel
anything. but I thought it was be-
cause I was paralyzed. was just
wondering when I'd fall down
when Van began to laugh and I
got wise. But, believe me, for a
moment they sure had me winging."

Why He Wrote It
BLOW, blow, thou winters wind"
So Shakespeare wrote one day,
When he had penned another hit
And sold his seventh play;
Wherest he stuck a black cigar
Within his uell-known mouth,
And packed his golf clubs and his grip
And headed for the South.
BLOW. blow, thou winter wind"
And William here stood pat;
For he had gathered kAls enough
To leave the north wind fat;
And many a bard would pen the same
II he could rise and go
Where kAshie shots and roses bloom
Beyond the sluSh and snow.

Numerical Comparisons.

There are about $50 ballplayers
in the two major leagues. In the
three big minors there are $50
more.
With rare exceptions these are
the only five leagues that can ar
ford to pay a ballplayer over $4,000
a year.
And not sll of these collect any
$4,000 in the three minors. There
are not over 600 ballplayers who
draw down $4,000 a year or better.

count list, there are between 1900
and 1000 gq-f professionals now in

As Money Getters.

The point came up recently as to
how golf and baseball compared In
a professional way as money get
ters.
Despite the fact that there are
no gate receipts attached to golf
AS a profession it is now only d
short stride back of the other game
from a money making viewpoint.
There are no golf pros. who re-
ceive the salaries drawn by Cobb,
Speaker, Ruth and one or two 9TH
ers.
But there are quite a cluster OF
golf pros. who draw down more
money than many star big leaguers.
There are several golf pros. who
can knock down better than $4,000
a year from lessons, the sale of
balls and clubs and through exhibit
tions, while the number of major
leaEuers who get $4,000 a year is
far from being abnormally large.

The intercollegiate regatta will
be held on the old Hudson at
Poughkeepsie again this year.
Like many other college features,
the biggest American rowing event
languished during the war and is
just about to come back to its for
'mer importance. Last year the re-
gatta was held at Ithaca.
A change that will interest all
water sport fans is dropping the
distance of the championship eight
oar races from four to three miles.
This may bring in Princeton, which
has declined to enter since taking
up rowing again, saying that the
four-mile race is too much of a
strain Wisconsin also may come
in. There has been a lot of dis
cussion over this matter. A four
mile race is a terrific grind, and
frequently at the finish, men in the
leading boats topple over one after
another, completely exhausted as
they pass the finish line.
1t taakes months of hard training
to fit the oarsman for the long
race, and no other sport requires
such rigorous preparation.

Golfers who can establish reputa-

end of the sport.
This includes such well-known
names as Walter Hagen. Jim
Barnes, Jock Hutchison. Douglas

others, many OF whom can round

Hagen and Barnes were paid fr n
$1,000 to s1,5OO for their exhibition
two-balI matches. Vardon and Ray
collected something like $4,000
each for less than three months of
golf. Each last year picked up at
least $4,000.
The Future Chance.
As golf is growing rapidly. and
there is a keener demand each year
for high-class players or Sood in
struCtOrs, or both, no expert statis-
tician is needed to show what the
future holds in the way of a liv-

There is also certain to be a big
growth in the way Of exhibition

great trouble in piling up from

are able to turn in tax returns upon

City Outfit.

The Washington Rover Soccer
Club was forced to bow in defeat
to the clever hooters Of the Balti-
more Soccer Club yesterday after
noon at Union League Park. The
final score was > goals to l. and
just about shows the difference be

game this season.
A strong northwest wind helped
the local team considerably in the
first period, and the invaders were
on the short end or a 1-to-O score
at the end of the first 45-minute Pc
riOd. During this half the local
eleven eNcelled in defensive play

For the average ballplayer the
season is bounded by April and
October.
The pay check blossoms around
April 10 and suddenly fades around
October 5.
Up North the golfnE season. out
doors, carries from April to De-
cember.
But when the outdoor season
closes hundreds either head directly
for some indoor school or else shift
their headquarters to the South or
California.
Florida alone has young army
of pros. on the job, where each
leading course can take good care
of two or three. And Florida soon
will be almost a network of golf
courses. 1t isn't far from that con-
dition just now.
To earn this money the golf pro.
has to work longer hours and
through greater number of
months. But he has this other ad-
vantage. At 35 or 40 he isn't check

The Savings in Fertilizers Amount to
$4,000 in one County.

Floyd County Farm Bureau thru
its market committee has purchased
comparatively for its members this
spring five hundred fifty tons of fer
tilizers. This cooperative buying
helped the farmers to secure such a
reduction in the price of fertilizers
that it has meant a saving of at least
$4,000 to the farmers of the county.
AS result of this work the County
Farm bureau is raising funds in the
county to pay the salary of the Farm
