BALTIMORE, Sept. 2e.-Walter So

wi auretania Sails
With Vincent Astor
And Other Notables
He Will Stay Abroad About
Four Weeks Visiting His
Mother and Sister, but
WillNot Study Aeronautics

Among those sailing yesterday on
the Mauretania, of the Cunard Line.
which left for Cherbourg and South
ampton, was Vincent Astor, who said
that he would stay abroad about four
weeks visiting his mother, Lady Rib
blesdale, and his sister, Muriel, and
that perhaps he also would go to
Paris.
Mr.. Astor said that the only object
Of his trip was to see his family, as
he did not intend to investigate air
plane travel abroad in connection with
his proposed line between Newport and
New York, because he felt there was
not much to be learned abroad in aero
nautics. He added that the only thing
he had done SO far in connection with
the projected air line was to furnish
some figures.
Another passenger was Lloyd B.
Sanderson, Of the New York offices of
the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
who announced that his concern would
add the new 19,000-ton Ohio to the
run between Germany, Southampton
and New York within a short time, as
well as the Orca, another Of the com
pany's passenger liners. The Ohio was
on the stocks in German shipyard
during the war and was to have been
named the Muenthen. Mr.. Sanderson
who is accompanied by his wife, will
spend four weeks in England investi-
eating shipping conditions and confer
ring. with the company's officials in
London.
Others on board were Lady Benn,
Robert w. Colley, golf player. with his
family; Mr.. and Mrs. Percival Far
quhar and Captain and Mrs. X. M. Har-
bard, who accompanied the Irish polo
team to this country, but were forced

Margaret Flancry has en- unswervlng
faitl&zin human nature. TO this day
she believes that Mrs. Hix made out
will leaving her washerwoman part
Of her estate.
More than thirty years ago Mrs
Fianery did her first work for Mrs.
Charlotte A.. Hix, wealthy widow who
lived at the Park Avenue Hotel. She
would take home with her various
articles of clothing TO be freshly laund-
cred and returned to Mrs. HiS, or she
would call at the hotel and perform
little domestic duties, like making a
savory broth.
Mrs, Hix gave the woman carfare
and occasionally money for meal or
tip to buy some piece of finery. But
Mrs. Flanery was contented to serve
without salary. Some day, Mrs. Hix
herself promised, Margaret would be
remembered in her will, the domestic
said. Mrs. Flanery had often read in
the newspapers where servant or q
secretary, somebody like that, worked
for years without being paid and in
the end was rewarded with mansion
to live in or fortune to spend on all
the frivolities denied for years.
Is Supported by Nephew
Until that time, for Mrs. Flanery
was not one to begrudge Mrs. Hix q
long life, Margaret lived on the dona-
tions of generous nephew.
Then, on January 19, 1922, Mrs. Hix,
by that time little, bent woman of
seventy years, met with an accident.
Shortly afterward she died. When her
will was examined it was found that
her entire fortune, believed to be about
$4,000, had been left to Elizabeth j.
Scanlon, for years an intimate friend
of the widow. No mention was made
Of the faithful Margaret.
But Elizabeth Scanlon was dead
since 1906 and the will was an old one,
drawn In June, 1897. Mrs Flanery was

Midwinter Football Drill
lnaugurated at Lehi9h

Special Dispatch 10 TIE New YorK HErstp.
BETHLEHEM, Pa. Jan. 2s. A new
feature OF the Lehigh athletic program
was announced by Prof. n. q. Reiter.
director OF athletics. upon his return
from New York. where he attended and
was a speaker at tho annual ban
quet of the New York Lchigh Club. Upon
the advice and approval of James Bald
win. the newly elected football coach,
Prof. Reiter will inaugurate midwinter
football practice, beginning Immediately
with the first week of the midwinter
term. The large abandoned field house.
or cage, used as r. barracks during the
$. A. T. c.. will provide excellent faciIi-
ties.
According to Prof. Reiter the entire
squad will be ordered out and will be
drilled In fundamentals, such as pass
ing. blocking. kicking and falling on the
ball. Attention will also be given to a
thorough Interpretation of the football
code
Another branch O: sport to which
much attention is paid. although still
unreasonable. Is lacrosse, with Lehigh
again pointed for the national inter-
collegiate championship. The work Is
indoors and is under the supervision OF
Charles Lattig, n former Lehigh star
and assistant coach.

What are the problems now confront
ing the golf committeeman who have
charge OF regulations for all golfers in
America and Great Britain? Although
matters are quiescent for the moment,
there are still being made efforts to
further changes.
First as regards the ball. As a gen
eral thing the so-called standard ball
OF 1921 was enjoyed by the players.
from duffcr to crack. The star player
went Is yards further than was his
wont and the ordinary golfer 20 yards {;
the scores were no whit lower in tourna-
ments than in any recent season, prov
ing conclusively that there can be no
more than o. stroke or two benefit for
the best players SO long as golf still
continues to claim the two puts or
slightly less per green.
But there are those who have been
charged with the lessening OF distance
as gained from the tee, making 1t
impossible to drive ESQ yards In order
that difficulty in course construction
shall come from we'll trapped holes
rather than excessive length. To this
end experiments are to be made THIS
year in Great Britain with ball oil
larger mold, that is. greater diameter
and perhaps greater weight or, rather
unlimited weight
The largest sized balls procurabe viii
he used in experiments over st. An
drewg links in regular events fostered
by the Royal and Ancient, and also
over the other championship courses Ill
tbe British Isles The diameter Of these
balls to be tried out will vary from l.o3
to 1.705. and perhaps a bit more II
such balls can be furnished by the
manufacturer. About the middle OF
March these balls will be ready for dis
tribution to those amateurs VINO care
to play in the Journeys held by the
golf balls subcommittee. and the tour
news starting then will run all through
the summer There is 10 thought ol
changing or recommending change
until next fall at the earliest.
No Present Desire to Change.
AS a matter of fact, there Is not now
In the minds OF any OF the golf ball
committee any desire to change from
the present 1.62 specification, but there
is simply a desire to find out %hether
it Is physically possible for any restraint
which will make for restoration OF
the balance between the power OF the
ball and the length of the hole.
1t is always borne in mind that when
the famous floater tourney was held at
Sunningdale last spring that the course
record was broken by Mr.. Montmo-
rency with n 72. Some people now,
therefore. think that If the ball is made
exceptionally heavy that the remedy
will be found and that only the slug
gers could get distance with a thirty
five pennyweight ball. Well. our own
opinion Is that the ball of the future
probably will be the ball of the present,
which gives more pleasure to golfers
than any other. The decisions made
last year by committc which professed
to be taking a chance have given a
boost 10 the game such as has not been
seen in fifteen years.
Increase the diameter trifle and
perhaps good will result But ii Is all
guess at present. 1t is splendid
thing for the game that actual expert
menting Is to be tried before any sug-
gestion OF change Is made.
There have been not a few implements

was made to-day that the first three
Yale varsity crews and the $50 pound
crew will start work on the machines on
February 10. with the largest number of
crew candidates that ever reported AT
Yale. Jim Cordcrry, coach of the var
sity crews. is waiting only the passing
Of the midyear examinations but he has
sent out orders for the men to report on
February 10. So much interest is shown
in the crew competition this year that
while no compulsory work OF the ma
chimes has thus far been ordered. practi-
cally all of the leading members of the
squad have been reporting regularly four
days a week, and they are therefore
at this time n year ago
Special attention to early conditioning
will be paid this year by the crew fac
ulty. which announces an innovation in
the carly season training program. The
men will be compelled to take a gym
rasium course following their work on
tho machines. which, Corderry thinks.
will help get them in the best OF condi-
ton.

Ilarbor rowing Is becoming every
year more and more a thing OF the
past at Yale. The Derby course has
proved 80 much of all Improvement
over that on the Quinnipiac River that
at recent meeting of the Yale gradu-

planned to have regular series of
formal time trials for the varsity crews
this year OH the Housatonic River. The
results of these trials will be sent to
the alumni and the old crew men so

The crew committee is spending some
money in Derby this year. Extensive
