RACE ON TOMORROW
Annual Classic to Determine
Crew to Row Here in Pough-
keepsie Regatta.

LONDON. March 29.-Over the four
mile course from Putney to Mortlake,
on the Thames River. England. the
rival crews from oxford and Cam
bridge universities will renew their
annual struggle for rowing honors to-
morrow.
Eighty-two years ago the initial
boat race between these two universi-
ties was two-mile contest on the
Thames at Henley and Oxford was the
winner. All subsequent races, how
ever, were decided over a four-mile
course. The following six races were
contested during a period of seven
teen years up to 1S45. and in fve Of
these Cambridge was the victor.
In 1S46 the crews rowed in outrig-
gers for the first time. The 1857 race
was the flrst in which either crew
rowed in the present style of eishts
without keel and both used round oars
and sliding seats were introduced In
1873.
Owing to a cessation OF all sporting
events during the war no race was
held from 1913 until last year when
Cambridge won by four lengths in
21m. lis, excellent time considering
the unfavorable conditions Of wind
and rain which prevailed throughout
the afternoon.
In all seventy-two races have been
rowed by representative crews from
these rival universities. Cambridge
won thirty-nine Of them. Oxford An
ished' in front thirty-two times, and
in 1877 dead heat was the result. On
March 30, 1912, both boats were
swamped during a storm and the race
was rowed over two days later, Ok
ford scoring a win.

Another factor which increases in

may accept the invitation extended
to both Oxford and Cambridge to take
part in the Poughkeepsie regatta

will constitute a new record in this
respect. In 1914 Cambridge averaged

HYMAN EARNS VICTORY
AT BAT AND ON MOUND

Sam Hyman's lusty bat and tricky
arm earned a 4-to-1 victory for
Georgetown over Pennsylvania Uni
versity yesterday. The Hilltoppers
proved to be better baseball players
throughout. making the breaks for
themselves by timely hitting and base
running. Hyman's triple to the stands
and Kenyon's following clout scored
the first run.
The Georgetown hurIer allowed
three hits, famed hve and walked

to bases, but otherwise had the Penn

whscks led the Georgetown hitters

KNCK'S S.MANAGER

Teams for Saturday and

BY BRYAN MORSE

Carroll DAILY. manager of the knicx-
erbocker Club, has an idea 1t 10
god one. He is willing to spread II
out before the sandlot fans OF the
District II adopted it will assure
Washington, Virginia and Maryland
fans plenty of opportunity to SUP
port their baseball teams this sum
mer. The idea will provide plenty OF
chances to determine a real winner
among the sandIot teams will avoid
claims and counter-claims for honors
and will go far toward settling the
usual controversies which cropped up
during the hectic baseball campaign
Here's. Days dope.
There are at. present about eight
first-clas independent baseball teams
in and around Washington" says
Daily. II can mention Silver Spring,
Bethesda. Brightwood. Clarendon,
Rex A. c.. Brookland. the Knicks,
and Congress Heights.
TEAMS PLAY Now.
These teams play through the en-
tire season and many of them fail to
schedule games with each other. In
the teams mentioned practically every
section of the city is represented
along the suburbs of Virginia and
Maryland
i DelieVe an ln1Ormdl meeting Oh

and as many others who care to be
represented and feel that they are
sufficiently strong to play against the
teams mentioned. would enable all
managers to start a league.
These teams are somewhat re-
moved in playing strength from the
general run of teams here. They are
out of the class of the young mines
and can be organized for SATURDAY
and Sunday baseball this summer
With eight teams selected a regular
schedule could be adopted and q play
off held at the end of the summer
for the independent championship
KNICKs WOULD ENTER.
"The Knickerbockers would be glad
to enter some sorts of series OF the
kind. 1t would determine the real
champion through a summer season
and would be the means of increas-
ing the sectional interest here In
Washington.
"The Enicks are ready and wiling
to entertain some sort Of proposition
and ] would suggest that the man
ayers of the various teams mentioned
write me II they are willing to meet
to take up the formation of an Inter-
Urban Baseball League.
Days idea is one that is expected to
meet with approval. Practically all
of the teams mentioned play each
other during the season. The forma-
tion of a circuit would go far tow,
ard making possible a real Saturday
and Sunday baseball league all over
Washington and outlying districts.

GIVE A CHAPEL TO THE WILD

Not one church or chapel in a mis-

miles is a poor prospect for the apos-
tie sent to SOW the good seed among

happy lot of Rev. Leo van den Bergh,
e. F. NJ, whose P. o. address is Sibu,
Sarawak, Borneo. Read his letter:

Edw. Dunn, Project Apostolic of Bor-

WHY NOT BE GENUINE?

A change of voice and an extra
graciousness of manner may impose
on the visitor who comes around once
year or so: but in the everyday
world, with constant companions, a
uniform, genuine, eQuable course of
conduct is the best plan.
And, as matter of policy, too, that
course of conduct had better be agree
able, obliging and urbane in order to
smooth the pathway, says an ex-
change.
Women are the greatest offenders
/ in hypocrisy of manner, because they
are the indoor sex, and pretended
amiability is the result of hereditary
cowardice which descends to us from
ruder and more barbarOus ages.
Yet, in the modern world, women
do not need to be anything but or be-
yond themselves to be protected and
respected They. and all of us, gain
nothing and lose much by pretense or
affectation. A woman rarely wins a
husband by deceptive graciousness;
but she loses many suitors. If she
does so entrap q man, he is apt to be
a noodle, not worth the game.

ton, but is it? The present tendency
