SIX YALE FRESHMEN
BARRED; RACE is OFF
By the Associated Press.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June It.
Violation OF the honor system by six
members of the Yale freshman crew
has caused the abandonment of the
freshman race as the curtain raiser
at the annual Yale Harvard regatta
at New London. June 20.
Announcement of the calling off Of
the regular yearling race was made
last night by the Yale Athletic Asso-
citation, following an all.day confer
ence here Of the executive committee
of the board of control of the associa-
ton and numerous telephone conver-
sations with Harvard athletic authori-
ties.
The names Of the men who were
placed on probation and disqualified
from athletic competition for the aca-
demic year 1926-2T We're not made
public. 1t Is understood that they
were caught cribbing in final exam
nations which the crewmen took last
week at their quarters on the Thames
River at Gales Ferry.
The men involved admitted violating
the honor system, the association
statement said. The executives has
recommended the award of numerals
to those members of the freshman
crew squad at the ferry who were
not involved in the action. Yale, in
communicating the facts to Harvard
also communicated its deepest regret
and apologies.
In lieu of the regular freshman con.
test Yale has proposed that the event
be forfeited TO Harvard and that the
Harvard first year eight row in the
junior varsity event. That the Har-
ward crew would rather participate in
that event than meet a makeshift Blue
eight was indicated by Harvard ath-
letic officials.

TWO-SPORTS RULING
FOR SCHOOLS ENDED

Repeal of the two sports rule yee-
terday by unanimous vote Of the
Board of Education brings to an end
a threeyear fight waged by high

suggestion of the &C" Club OF Cen.
trail High. instead of improving high
school athletics worked untold hard

resulted in a general decrease in in
tereSt in sports.
In adopting the restriction limiting
players to participation In two
branches of sport the board had
hoped to put across a policy of "ath-
letics for ALL" III practice, however,
the rule appears to have caused more
trouble and dissntisfa ction than any
thing else, and the action taken yes
terday is being hailed with enthusi.
asm by practically all followers OF
high school sports.
Principals of the five public ser
ondary schools met a month ago and
asked for a repeal OF the ruling. This
was approved by the rules committee
Of the Board OF Education, and final
sanction placed on it by that body

BASE BALL SECRETS

Good pitchers, like good golf
players, go back slowly. If they
swing back too rapidly they lose
their balance. Also, the eye is
more likely to become confused
and its attention not focused on.
the plate. Pitching is done with
the forward motion after the back

Boston would like to get out OF the
cellar, and the Browns would like to
keep out of it. Both ambitions are
healthy and commendable.
Baby Doll Jacobson has not been
pleased with his station at st. Louis
for some time. This giant of a man
IN the Boston outtleld may do lot
OF good. The Red SoX outfield has
heen amiss. "Jake's" arm is not SO
strong as It was. and runners have
been taking liberties with him, as they
do with Brown of the Boston Ma
1ionals, but the Red SoX have been
staggering along with an outfield that
has none of the art of fielding in 1t.
F'ohl has been unfortuna in getting
outfielders who could blast the cover
off the ball and then lose it the next
minute when it happened to be batted
to them with runners on bases.
No Fixtures in Base Ball.
Miller. the Athletics outfelder who
goes to St. Louis, is better out
fielder than some other st. Louis play
ers, but he was thought to be a fixture
In philadelphia Evidently there are
no fixtures in base ball.
The challenge of the Athletics Is IN
taking Ehmke from the Red SoX 10
try to help win some games. queer
record this E,hmke has. He has Won
three games this season and lost ~,
and he was valued by one major
league manager at $4,000, while an
other wanted to get him by giving up
two of the best players he had.
Ehmke began the season by getting
knocked out of the box in the first
game by the YankS, and he hasn't
been worth more than a pinch OF base
ball snuff since.
Players say he has been slow-ball-
ing too much. That is base ball jar
gon. In plain English. it means he
has not been forcing his arm. Maybe
his arm bothers him and he doesn't
want to wrench it.
Ehmke Strong Against As.
Oddly enough. Ehmke's only sue
cess has been against the Athletics,
the very team that traded for him,
while the Yanks and Senators have
battered him badly. OF course, now
that he is with Philadelphia, he will
have to get a better pace on his
pitching arm. If he doesn't, ii is
probable that his ma jor league career
is about ended. Detroit had him once
and in spite OF the success that Ehmke
had In Boston year ago. Ty Cobb
has yet to he persuaded that he made
a mistake by trading the pitcher to
the Red SoX.
The Yanks are just 10 days farther
along toward the championship than
the Athletics. E,hnke has been pull
ed in TO try to lessen the distance.
Connie Mack, usually conservative
about his midseason trading. evident
ly has made up his mind that If he
doesn't gamble a little with his play
ers he is not going to get the Yanks
this year-and if he doesn't get them
he probably figures no other team
can.
II the Yanks are to be overtaken
the thing has got to be done quickly,
because they are a long way down
