New Type Of Boat Being Construct.

DULUTH Mimi. May 12-(By As
SC ciated Press.)-American and Euro
pean rowing experts of the old school
who devoted much time to criticizing
Walter Hoover's peculiar boat and
his "unorthodoX" style of sculling
are going tC have something new to
talk about, for the worlds sculling
champion is having another new type
shell built. Hoover hopes to use the
boat when he defends his title against
Paul Costello, national champion
here June s.
The new shell which is designed by
Hoover, will be shorter and lighter
than his other boats. He expects to
develop even greater speed than last
summer when he won the Philadelphia
| gold challenge cup, and then went to
| England and captured the Diamond
| SOULS event at the English Henley.
| The shell will be "a feet long and
will weigh approximately 80 pounds.
| This is three feet shorter and three
pounds lighter than the old shell. The

shorter, but Hoover has found that
with a fuller bow and a deeper body
this will be counteracted. Hoover
believes the saving of Z per cent skin
friction will prove big advantage

FRANCE HOLDS WHIP.
WORLD NOW REALIZES
Germany Must Sooner Or Later
Shout "kamerad!"

PARIS. May 12.-France, who oc-
cnpied the Ruhr valley four months
ago today, has forced the world to
realize the following:
]. That France holds the whip over
Germany and that the former enemy
nation must, sooner or later. shout
kamerad.' and make a suitable rep
arations offer.
. That Britain and Italy are in no
position to force the French to re-
linquish their hold on the German
Industrial area and can only counsel
France will c,-.sider.
.. That France does not intend to
stay permanently in the Ruhr, ac-
cording to earlier predictions, but
will order the troops to march out in
degrees as Germany pays.
The chancellories OF Europe arc
less inclined to criticize Premier
Poincare now than they were when
he ordered the French troops TO oc-
cupy the Ruhr.
Although France has failed to ac-
complsh her announced purpose
digging of reparations out of the
Ruhr in the form of coal-she has.
nevertheless paved the way to force
Germany to settle her account.
1t is believed here, now that France
has proved, in the opinion of many
diplomats. the wisdom of her course.
that Great Britain will soon start a
closer association with her ally than
has existed at any time since the
war.
Britain, it is pointed out, merely
has been pursuing policy of watch
full waiting" ever since the disagree
ment with France at the allied pre-
the Franco Belgian march into the
Ruhr

BOSTON, May 12.-(By Associated

Third Base saloon have turned to
literature. Bottles and glasses and
baseball trophies have given way to
books. The famous old barroom near
the old South End grounds of the
Boston Nationals has been trans
formed into a branch of the public
library.
Michael T. McGreevy for 80 years
owned and managed the Third Base
and his patrons were chiefly ball
players and fans. He spent no time
in the saloon when ball game was
in progress here, for he was a king
of rooters. powerful of voice and
DYNAMIC in personality. Even after
the South End grounds had become

baseball. Switching his interest to
the American league, he followed
the Red SoX at his own expense on
many trips around the circuit and on
many of their spring training tours.
He became known throughout the
country as "Nuf Ced McGreevy.
Grand Exalted Ruler of Rooters'
Row" At last a Red SoX manager
recognized his title by giving him a
uniform and regular contract as a
