DANNY MURPHY GIVEN CREDIT
 FOR PERKINS AND GALLOWAY

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin gives Danny Murphy of Norwich the credit of developing Perkins and Gal loway into shifty hitters. The article is, as follows:
 Danny Murphy is responsible for the local American League Chapter of Shifters.
 You have often noticed Perkins pull back his right foot, just as the pitch CT winds up to deliver one. This move changes his stance at the plate. A pitch that would be too far inside for him to hit squarely becomes just right to hit after that foot goes back.
 Galloway follows the same system, and both of them follow Dan Mur- phy. Everybody can't do it. A lot of batters are thrown completely off bal ance when they try the trick.
 Eddie Foster. now third passing for the Browns is credited with being the cleverest in either league at foot shifting, Art Fletcher of the Phillies IS another adept. He and Perkins take about the biggest steps in their shift ing. Heinie Groh, of the Giants, is an- other talented member of the order.
 Pretty nearly every player has tried this stunt at one time or another, but few get very clever about it. The l timely thumps of Perkins in the pres l en series were made by the shifting of the left foot, a stunt not so notice ] able because a battery naturally steps | forwards to the pitcher with his front foot, and a deviation from the straight and narrow batter's box is not so mo- ticeable in that direction as it is when performed with the rear foot. Perk stepped away from the plate ] with his left foot for that home run 1 yesterday, an Williams, wso was play ing over near centre field never got 1 near enough to the ball to pass the l time of day.

ELLIS F. WARD. NOTED
 oARSMAN IS DEAD

Philadelphia, Aug. 25-Ellis F. Ward internationally known as rowing coach, died today from paralysis, with which he was stricken three months ago. He was IT years old and until his retirement in 1913, had been coach of the University of Pennsylvania crews nearly thirty five years.
 Mir. Ward, one of nine brothers, all- famous as oar smen, was considered one of the leading factors in the de- velopment of rowing. He not only was a great sweep oar in his day, but a finished sculler, many of his original ideas h1Ying been adopted by colleges and clubs throughout the world.
 Born in Newburgh, N. Y, in 1S45, MT. Ward became famous as an oars
 man before he reached his majority, In 1868, which marked the beginning
 of intercollegiate rowing in Ameri ca on an extensive scale, Harvard en- tered a six-oared crew in the Boston citizens regatta, and invited the Ward
 brothers to meet them. There were five Wards in the boat and one out sider, George Ward having been de- tained by an accident.
 The Wards won and followed with
 victories at Lake Quinsigamond and at Worcester, Mass, both at three
 miles and in 1871 Ellis Ward an6 | three of his brothers won the worlds championship for four miles with { l turn at Saratoga Lake. In doing st 1 they established a record of A min | utes, 40 seconds, which still stands 1 They defeated two English and thre, | American crews. The crew was un. defeated up to the time Ward assum :. ed his duties at coach at Pennsylva, mia.
