PLAY.
DEFENS|VELY
NEEDED
By GARRETT WATERS

Oy OAAsAs6A = - NNEAA LAW
Whenever right-handers are op-
posing the Griffmen in the
future, Sammy Rice will patrol
the right field pasture, it was inti-
mated by Manager Walter John
son today. In other words, John.
son plans to renew his policy Of
alternating Rice and Harris, dis.
regarded in the last week or so.
Dave Harris was taken from
the lineup yesterday because
George Blaeholder, Highlander,
started for the Browns. The big
outfielder has not hit in his last
two games and this might have
been the reason for JohnSon's
idea to renew his policy of alter.
mating Rice and Harris.
Rice Needed Rest
johnson has had the idea of
alternating Rice and Harris all
along, he says. But he benched
Sammy and allowed Harris to
play all last week because he
wanted to give Rice a period Of
rest-the sort Sammy needs every
once in a while because of his
age.
It'll be Rice against right
handlers and Harris against left
handlers then from now on. And
watch the boys go.
There's one thing about It.
Both are valuable assets to the
team. Harris because Of his
ability to sock them out Of
the lot on most any occasion.
and Rice, because of his time
illness at the bat and his de-
pendable fielding.
Many had ideas in their heads
that the beginning of the end
of Rfce's career was at hand
when johnson benched Sammy
about a week ago and inserted
Harris into the game against all
brands of pitching.
But that is far from the
case. Rice, according to John
son, is still a great player, even
though he might not be as color
full a one as Harris, and his
presence in the game gives that
comforting assurance to the team
that is not there when anyone
else plays the RIGHT field position.
Harris, however, is rated highly
by johnson. Walter likes the way
the sheriff connects with the ball
in the pinches. The sheriff GER
tainly has the happy faculty of
coming through in the tight
places. There's no doubt about
that.
Club Has Fine Spirit
Bobby Burke got credit for his
fifth win of the season in yester.
days game against the Browns.
Hadley relieved him in the sixth,
but the Griffmen were ahead and
Bobby had hurled four innings be-
fore going out.
Burke was appreciative of
Bumps efforts after the game.
He had this to say:
81 get credited with the vic
tory although Bump had to res
cue me. But / shouldn't have.
The only thing 1 want to do
now is to save one for Bump
some time in the near future.
OF course, mean If Hadley
should need any relief"
That's just an example Of the
fine spirit among the Griffmen
at this time. 1t certainly is the
kind that will win pennants.

SEVEN CREWS
HAVE CHANCE
At 'KEEPS|E

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June
15.-Thousands of rowing fans
from all over the country were
here today to witness the annual
championship regatta of the
intercollegiate Rowing Associa-
ton tomorrow on the Hudson, the
blue-ribbon crew races which will
decide the intercollegiate rowing
championship of the country for
1881.
With the exception of the lowly
Penn eight, which has looked so
wretched all season that not even
a Quaker fan could be found who
will pick the Red and Blue to
win, every crew in the regatta
had it's hackers. Cornell, Colum-
bia, Syracuse, M. I. T. and the
Navy, from the East; Washington
and California from the Coast,
and Wisconsin from the Mid
die West-all were conceded
chances in the varsity contest.
There was one thing everybody
agreed upon however. Thlt was
that the 1881 championship has
all the potentialitieS of developing
into the keenest struggle for
eight-oared supremacy that the
I. r. AS brilliant rowing gather
ing has ever witnessed.
Never before in the history
of the Poughkeersie races have
so many crews come unbeaten
to the Hudson. Columbia, Cor
nell and Syracuse in the East.
and Washington in the West,
all have unblemished records
and there's Wisconsin, too,
which will be competing in its
first race of the year tomorrow.
Although two of the unbeaten
crews, Cornell and Columbia, have
been established as the popular
favorites, three of the beaten
eights, California, M. I. T, and
the Navy, are conceded chances
for victory. The Golden Bears,
in fact, are rated more highly
than the Washington huskies, and
the Middies and Engineers are
real dark horses"
None of the coaches is willing
to be pinned down to a definite
selection. Jim Wray, who warned
the experts to look out for Cor
nell, Syracuse and M. I. T. last
year, won't say ore than "it'l
be a great race. Seven crews
have a chance to win"
Break Tradition
Rusty Callow, his own Penn
eight just about out of the run
ming, liked Syracuse a week ago,
but he's not saying anything now,
after Cornell's splendid exhibi-
lions in practice. Old Dick Glen
Ion warns of the fighting Navy
BOAT, but not word about the
,ther contenders. =.
Another rowing tradition of
the Hudson went by the boards
yesterday when three Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania crews ap-
peared on the river for a brisk
paddle in rough water.
Thirty years ago when Penn
irst started to send crews to the
regatta it was de-
;ided that the Quakers would not
ow on the Sabbath. Yesterday
rusty Callow, coach of the
.ighths, received permission to
york the oarsmen, and a double
workout was held.

Before game time Joe was in
formed that his streak had not
been broken because of a ruling
by Irwin M. Howe, official statis-
tGcian of the American League,
who wired here that "Cronin's
Streak was still in full swing"
Griffs Win Again
With a record of twenty con-
Becutive games behind him and
the chance to add number twen-
,ky.one to it, Cronin failed to come
Through in four times at bat.
However, the Griffmen won an
other game to keep their winning
record intact. It has now reached
nine straight. And, before it is
overlooked, the st. Louis Browns
were defeated, 9 to 3 before a
big Sunday crowd.
The Griffs gained a full
game on the Philadelphia AS
when Connie Mack's men lost
20 the Cleveland Indians, 6 to
~. This puts them only three
contests back Of the AS in the
! standings this morning.
T. The Browns put up quite
fight in the early innings. But it
was all over for them after the
sixth, when the GriffS scored two
runs. And for safety sake three
more were scored in the seventh
and one in the eighth for the
@-to-S margin.
Bobby Burke started on the
mound for the Griffs and was op-
posed by George Blaeholder. Bobby
was a little bit too unsteady to
suit johnson and as a result Man
Ager Walter inserted Irving Had
ley into the box in the middle Of
the sixth inning. Two were on
bases and none out when Hadley
walked to the mound.
The big pitcher then proceeded
10 strike out KreSS and force Me
Gllo to hit into a double play,
Aalting what started out to be a
dangerous rally. After that time
Hadley hurled excellently, espe-
cially in two pincheS, the seventh
and ninth, when he halted would
be rallies by tanning dangerous
batters or forcing them to lift up
% the outfield.
Browns Again Today
Blaeholder hurled six com.
plete frames for the Browns. He
was taken out for a pinch hitter,
Waddey, in the seventh, and
stiles inserted. Against this lat
ter hurler's slants the Griffs
gewed up the game with their
three runs in the seventh.
The second of the series with
the Browns is scheduled today.
Lloyd Brown, left.hander, will
take the mound for the Griffs.

who defeated the AS last week,
