 At Gamblers

Landis, high commissioner of ; baseball, would like the names and addresses of any jury that would give damages to a gambler refused ad- mission to a baseball park, according s to a letter received from the Judge today by William H. Mccarthy, Pres sddent of the Pacific Coast League.
 The letter was in commendation of the work done by Mccarthy in stamp ing out. gambling in the coast league
 tI never had the slightest doubt that the exclusion of those gentry might result in damage suits," Judge Landis wrote, ''but it is one thing to bring the suit and quite another to establish the right to damages
 Judge Landis intimated that no jury that would hold with a baseball gambler could be gotten together eoutside of tAe penitentiaries.'
 Judge Landis' letter was in reply : to one by Mccarthy regarding a suit for damages against the Seattle club by James L. Finnery, who had been barred from the Seattle park on sus- picion of gambling.

 To Win Flag

Boston, July 12 -, The Boston Braves, gaining on New York and Pittsburgh in the pennant race in the National League. have better than an outside chance to repeat their success of 1914, in the opinion of Manager Pat Moran of the Cincin- nati club. The Braves have the best pitching staff in the National League he says, adding that with the batting strength of the team, they have the elements to go far in this years race
 '"This is no short spurt of the Bos- ton team." Moran said after his Gin cinnati team had dropped three straight to Mitche1Ps tribe. Mitchell has the best twirling staff in the league: Five pitchers all in trim and each able to take his turn in the box The hitting of the regulars is liable to break up 8 game at any time. He also has endorsements for about every position. Any manager so well protected is mighty lucky

New-York tribune., 1921-05-01

the best crew the college has developed
IN many years, and the stroking of
Franklin Brodil, a product of De Witt
Clinton High School and the Harlem
River, won the plaudits of even the
Yale rooters.
To-day's races were a complete test
of the English and American rowing
styles, and there appeared to be no
comparison between them. Guy Nick
alls, the Yale coach, has imported the
latest English methods, even to the
rowing costumes worn by his men,
while Jim Rice has adopted purely
American Workmanship. The average
weight OF the Yale crew was 172, while
that of the victors was TIC.
Walkaway for the Juniors
The Junior race was walkaway for
Columbia, the result never being in
doubt from the time the shells we're
sent away. The boys from the Heights
had lead of half boat length before
the first quarter mile had been COW
cred, and this lead was steadily in
creased, despite the raising of the Yale
stroke and determined effort ON the
part of Nickalls's men to catch their
rivals in the final half-mile.
The Columbia she'll hardly varied
from thirty strokes minute for the
entire race, while Yale opened with
thirty four and increased it during the
final squirt. The stroking of the junior,
aggregation was equally as good as
that of the varsity, and,' like the.
seniors, the juniors appeared to be as
fresh at the finish as they were at the
start
Both Columbia crews rowed back
over the course at merry clip and
were in excellent shape when they dis
embarked at the clubhouse. To-day's
races were the rubber meeting of Yale
and Columbia, both universities having
captured one regatta in the past. The
time for the junior races was: Colum-
bia. 10 minutes 4S 2-5 seconds: Yale, ii
