COACH NOT SATISFIED
 WITH SHOWING OF CREW
Cornell Oarsmen Have Been Held Back By Cold Weather And
 Rough Water In Practice.

Ithaca. N. r., May 14 Pl-Coach Charles A. (Pop) Lueder has ex- pressed himself as far from satis- fled with the showing made thus far by the Cornell oarsmen in prepara- tion for the spring day regatta with Yale and Princeton, May 22.
 Rough water and cold weather have been handicaps and as a con- sequence the Comedians have not been developing fast enough to suit the mentor. Lueder has not divulg- ed any of the times made but it is apparent that he is far from pleased with the performances.
 Barring accidents, however, the combinations now boated will go to the mark spring day in the varsity, Jayvee" and freshmen events. The men are in good condition and the squad has been troubled little with illness. Lueder, however, finds most of his men overweight The chilly weather has not been conductive to reducing. The squad worked out earlier this week with winter clothes on.
 Coach Lueder refuses to comment on Cornelrs chances against Yale and Princeton. He pointed out that in the case of Yale, the blue oars men will row on dead" water, under conditions far different from those prevailing last Saturday at Derby against Columbia and Pennsylvania. Princeton. rowing on dead water in prctice, turned in only a moderate time against Harvard last Saturday.

 Box scores of the American league today told a narrowing story Of disaster to the unresined curves Of 19 pitchers.
 Ninety-two torrid smashes blazed from the bats of the eight teams in 8 general slaughter of moundsmen --t9 of which were doubles II triples and five home runs. Only two Of the hurlers who entered the arena 10 face the bombardment completed their nine inning tasks, while three Of the clubs were forced to call upon no less than four hurlers to weather a storm which netted an average of 16 runs per game.
 Detroit and Boston set the pace in a cricket scoring bee which sent 25 runners pounding around the circuit to the distress of eight bat tered pitchers, Detroit salvaged the riddled contest by count of 13 to 10.
 The Yankees. paced by two home runs off the bat of Babe Ruth, fell in line with a 1s-s vic tory over the Cleveland Indians which cemented their grip to first place but the Philadelphia Ath- letics saw their nine game win ming streak hammered out of the park by the Chicago White Sox. Seventeen blows caromed from the maces of Eddie Collins men during a carnage which broke Jack Quinn's four game winning streak. routed the usually reliable Eddie Rommel, and then refused to spare Baum gartner and Harries.
 The Washington Senator's com- pleted the assault with a 6-2 vic tory over the troublesome St. Louis Browns, denting the offerings of Falk, Davis and Wingard for eleven hits.
 Although the hitting epidemic spread to the National in one sec tor with 12-1 triumph by the Giants over the Cardinals the pitching was generally of a vastly higher caliber. Virgil Barnes linn tied the St. Louis team to six scat tered blows. Hal Carlson of the Phillies shut out the Pirates with five bingles for a so verdict, and Carl ~Mays of the Reds bested Hearn of the Braves In a slab duel. f 10 1.

 On tho result of the first depends Stribling's status as challenger for the title now hold by Paul Berlcn- bach. Defeat by Risko, an aggres- sive, two handed fighter. might not deprive StribIinE of the champion ship match with Borlenbach on June 10 for which hc has already been signed. But boxing men ad- init it would rob the contest of much color, for Risko recently pummclled Berlenbach and gave Jack Delaney one of the hardest battles he has had during his sen sational rise to the top in the last two years.
 Risko is expected 10 enter the ring weighing approximately 19O pounds. while Strihling will scale 175. Fifteen rounds will be the duration of the contest, which is scheduled for ?. m.' eastern stan dard time, at Madison Square Gar den.

 l. greatly strengthened baseball team will represent the New Britain High school in the game against St. Thomas Seminary Saturday at Hart ford. Prospects for a victory are a bit brighter than they were at any time this season.
 During the week fate played tricks with the team when it totok Gabriel Bromberg out of the lineup because of a badly injured arm and made John Howard and Tommy Weston eligible to play. The last two will be used to strengthen the inf1old. Howard will so in at first in Bromberg's position and Weston will pick them mp at second base. Fenglor who handled the job in New Haven and St. Thomas games will be shifted back to center field where he played the first two games of the season. Coach Cassidy is un- decided as to whether he will use Havlick or Adams in right field. He said he will probably start Adams in right field. He said he will probably start Adams because of his ability 10 use the club. Cap tain Claire's shoulder continues 10 bother him and his entrance into the lineup will probably be held up for some time.
 One Of the interesting sidelights of the game is the fact that Howard and Weston are playing against the team that their former coach, Rev. William F. Downey. is now con- nected with. When these two were students at St Mary's school Weston played the second base position and Howard played over at the dizzy corner. Tim Claire, who Is now captain of the High team was then playing at shortstop with Frank Mccarthy, injured captain-elect of last falls team at the initial sack.
 At some time this year it is hoped that Claire, Howard and Weston will be able to play together again. Howard went to St. Thomas Semi nary after he left St. Marys school and led the freshman team of the institution in hitting. Eddie McAloon was the only other mem- ber of the team from this city. He led the team in fielding with per feet parcenta ge-no errors in large number of chances.
 The St. Thomas team Is having a most successful season and 1t would boost New Britain stock to a high mark If the boys are successful in taking the honors in the game. Last week in the game played at Hartford the Saints were successful by a Is to ' score. The Red and Gold second string pitchers were in the game and the team had just played hard game the day before so that the boys went on the field a beaten crew. But 1t will be q scrappy team that will don the cloats tomorrow and a hard fought game should result.
