SYRACUSE To
DROP NAVY
Ten Eyck Declares MILDLY
oarsmen Have More Time to
Prepare for Races.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 26. -
Elimination of the Navy from SYRIA
cuse's 1924 rowing schedule and
crew was proposed today by Coach
James A. Ten Eyck, Of the Orange
institution of learning.
He advanced significant reasons
for this apparently startling propo-
sition, declaring that it was both
unfair and inexpedient to pit the
Orange oarsmen against the Middies
in midway, when they were never
able to get any more than half as
much training by that time of year
as the Navy crews.
The Syracuse rowing mentor
offered this proposition in no way
as an alibi for previous defeats
which his eight has suffered at the
hands of the Annapolis lads, but
said that it was an issue which
should be settled for the welfare of
the Orange oarsmen before another
year rolls around.
Although the question cannot for
mally come before the university
athletic governing board until next
fall, it is not doubted thai the
coach's suggestion will be followed,
the Navy being superseded by an.
other eight for the May race.

GRAYSON PLANS

Famous Old Washington
Jockey Club Course to Be
Extensively improved.

Reports that the famous cd
Benning track, one time home OF
the Washington. Jockey Club, and
for the past decade used as n
winter quarters for any number of
we'll known racing establishments,
was to be entirely dismantled and
converted into a residential sub
division, seem to be nothing other
than pure bunk if present plans of
Admiral Cary T. Grayson do not
miscarry.
Admiral Grayscn, whose racing
silks are most prominent at the
more pretentious tracks of this
country and Canada, plans to es-
tablish a permanent winter quar-
tiers for his thoroughbred string at
Benning.
The Westchester Racing Associa-
ton, of New York, owns the
greater part Of the historic old
Columbia course, and has called a
meeting Of it's directorate next week
at which time an option held by
Admiral Grayson upon the prop
erty will either be accepted or re-
jected.
Should the Washington owner
acquire the property he plans quite
extensive improvements. For the
past several winters Harry Payne
Whitney, Edward Beale Mclean,
Samuel Ross, William P. Buren,
and other equally known turfmon
have used the course as a winter
headquarters for their racing estab-
lishmentS.

!BRAINARD METES OUT
LACING TO BALDWIN

NEWARK. N. j.. July 26.--
Trouble broke out afresh today in
the ranks of the Newark Bears
when Manager Fred Brainard called
Pitcher "Knuckles" Baldwin to task
for Indifferent pitching in recent
games. The hurler resented 1t and
was given a fine lacing in the fist
fight that followed. Baldwin, who
makes his home in Baltimore, is
said to have packed his grip and
quit the club.
Whether he has gone back to
the Monumental City could not be
learned. 1t is also said that other
members Of the Bears are in symra-
thy with Baldwin and are planning
to quit.
When they started against the
Orioles only fourteen Bears were
in the home clubs dugout, which Is
five less than the club is carrying.
Manager Brainard when seen prior
to the game refused to discuss the
matter, while Secretary Bernie
Moan said: II don't know how
many players quit, but you can bet
they will be around pay day."

Aside From These
Faults, He Is a
Good Golfer

A golfer went to a profess
sional and asked him what was
the matter with his game. The
pro gave him a lesson and told
him that his stance was wrong,
his grip impossible, was too
rigid, took his eye off the ball,
didn't follow through, sliced
atrociously, and didn't keep his
head down.
"Just correct those faults
and you'll be all right" was
the pros advice.

son will do for a man in golf.

Dobbs in his time beat Joe
Cans in a twenty-round contest,
fought the old master twice after
that and ran second. He also
fought Kid Lavigne, Young Peter
Jackson, Dick Burge and Joe
Walcott. You notice that he had
some tough eggs to face.
The writer saw Dobbs knock
out a fighter named Johnson in
San Francisco way back in 1892.
Figure that up and you'll see that
he dates quite a ways back.
Well, when Dobbs was forty
four years of age he went across
the pond and had at least twenty
five fights, winning the majority
of them.
When he was fifty-one years
of age he fought in Berlin and
stopped a young bucko by the
name of Dick Green.
How's that for HIGH, Ell?
Sort of makes Willard and
Fitzsimmons step back a few
PAGES, doesn't it?
Old Dobbs is in New York now.
You will see him behind a fighter
now and then sponging him off
and giving advice.
He is now sixty-four years of
age, but still gets a kick out of
boxing.
