 New York. June s h-Three young western athletic coaches. none ot them much over thirty. are adding new wrinkles to the furrow- ed brows of eastern chieftains.
 'Dink" Templeton's Stanford uni versity track stalwarts on their way home from Philadelphia with their third successive national intercolle giate championship met another group of western invaders heading east.
 This was a double barreled Pa cific coast threat consisting of the powerful California and Washington crews, skippered by Ky" Ebright and Al Ulbrickson. respectively. The second far west invasion of the summer was headed for Poushkeep- sic determined to trounce the east just as soundIy on water as the Stanford terrors had on land.
 Templeton, who signs his checks Robert l.. replacing the "Dink,' showed his track and field brigade 50 far out in front at the l. C. A. A. A. meet at Philadelphia that the count want even close. It was Stanford's third straight victory and it's most decisive one.
 What this year holds for the east ern crews which have lost four of the last six varsity races in the in- tercollegiate regatta on the Hudson will not be known until the carly evening of June 2l.
 The Atlantic seaboard contingent, with Columbia its main hope, has a fighting chance, but Ebrieht's ex- perienced outfit has impressed most or the rowing experts as having an edge on the field.
 Washington. the other half of the far vests twin threat, ia a danger our outfit in any race. The only time the Huskies finised worse than second at Poughkeepsie in seven seasons was last year and then they were third. Washington was first in 1923, 1924 and 1928 and rated second in 1922. 1925 and 1927.
 That is Washineton's record.
 Ebright's outfit, by winning at PouEhkeepsie and sweeping through to the 1s2s Olympic championship, did more for California than all of the other Bear crews combined. And that's pertinent information Since the crew is virtually intact for this years struggle.

BABE RUTH HOLDS
 FANS ATTENTION
King of Suit Ny Be Out Of Game for Indefinite Period

New York, June N-Lying in q sick-bed, George Herman Ruth, mighty man of swat. held the un- divided attention of baseballs mil lions today. A victim, according to official pro- nunciamento, of muscular heart trouble" the great home run slug ger of the New York Yankees will be out of the game for an indefinite period.
 The more optimistic of Ruth's in- inmates said he would be back m the Yankee lineup within q week or ten days: the more pessimistic in- not don his uniform again for month and a half at least and pos sibly for the rest of the AeaSon. The great majority of expert opinion took the two extremes, divided by two and arrived at the conclusion that the Big Bam" probably would be back in the game within three weeks.
 Certainly there appeared to be no basis for early reports that Ruth's baseball career was over. Efforts to learn the Babes exact condition were hampered by the wall of mys- tery with which his illness has been shrouded. Would-be intervie wers have been uniformly unsuccessful in their attempts to pas doormen and elevator operators at the West ssth street apartment where Ruth and his bride of two months, Mrs. Claire Hodsson Ruth, are living. Enough has been learned. however. to ind.. cate that q brief vacation is all tho sluSger needs to put himself right again.
 Ruth himself was quoted as de- claring he would be "as good as ever" in ten days. Yankee officials. informed by the club physician that muscular heart trouble was not necessarily serious ailment, thought the Babe would be with them in . week or ten days. Ruth has been out of the lineua almost q week. After he had hit his tenth home run of the season last Saturday. he left the game and later went to . hospital for an X-ray the cold with which he had been suffering for some time. Announce ment was made that one lung was congested and that he would be out of the game for a week.
 Mrs. Ruth said yesterday that the only serious thing about her hus- bands illness was the job of con- vincing him that he must obey hts doctors orders to take | short rest.
 Babe needs . rest, that's all." ahe said. If he could get up to the stadium he would be in uniform: nobody could stop him."
 Ruth has been out Of the game on frequent occasions during his sensational career but this is only his second long lay-oK because of illness. In 1925 he was taken Ill during the spring training season and was taken to New York, uncon- scious from an attack of influenza and indigestion. He did not play his first game that season until the first of June. His other absences from the lineup have been due to injuries or suspensions meted out by his manager. Miller Huggins, or Commissioner l.andia when the Babe was the well-known pla ayboy of the game.
 Since he signed his three-year contract for 470,000 | season m January 1927 he has appeared in practically every game on the Yan- kee schedule.

HELSINGFORD, Finland, Sept. 9.-The police have set tentative total Of 82 persons, most of them school children, drowned Saturday when the Finnish steamer Kuru went down in a storm outside of the harbor at Timmerfors. Only about 20 aboard were saved.

 Rescue steamers rushing to the scene found the Kuru bottom side up and many persons clinging to it until swept off by huge waves
 Lifeboats were overturned in the turbulent water,

TWO YOUNG BOYS NARROWLY ESCAPE
 DROWNING; SAVED BY LOCAL ATTORNEY

While their mother and several other persons stood on the shore powerless to help them yesterday afternoon, Elmer and Buddy Lind strom narrowly escaped drowning when their boat tipped over in Lena Cove. They were saved by s. Hellenthal, well known attor- ney, who arrived in an outboard motorboat, after the boys had been drifting toward midchannel for about Is minutes and were about 200 yards offshore.
 The Lindstrom boys with their mother, Mrs. E. Lindstrom have a summer camp on the shore of the cove and possess the only boat along mile of shore line. Yes terday afternoon early, the boys started trolling for salmon with the water smooth and silvery in the sunlight. Shortly after they started out they had a strike and a fight to land the salmon began. The salmon took a course under the boat and as both boys jumped to the opposite side to balance it the skiff capsized throwing them both into the water.
 After getting hold of the boat they tried to paddle ashore with their hands as the oars had been thrown clear and were out of reach. Meanwhile the tide and the salmon were taking them out toward mid channel. The boys soon started to chill but they only sent up one cry for .help-when an airplane swooped down close to the water but was unable to rescue them As if answering the cry for help, Si Hellenthal just then came around the point from the north in his outboard motorboat and headed for them. The youths were picked up by Hellenthal, but not until each had gone under They were taken ashore and the over turned boat was then lowed in.
 The salmon was also saved. 1t weighed about Is pounds.
