~ ETRO1T. May 6.-Double-
headers start early for the
J Nationals this season. One
is due here tomorrow with
the Cronin crew and the Tigers playing
of their Friday postponement. This
early scheduling of bargain bills was
made possible by the American Leagues
revision last December Of the rule which
had banned play-offs during q first
series between clubs.
Manager Cronin says he will send
Walter Stewart and Monte Weaver to
the pitching hill for the Sunday
cid pal, Fred Marberry, in one of the
games. Manager Bucky Harris also has
School-boy Rowe, the tall youngster,
ready for duty.
Right after the Sunday twin sketch,
the Nationals will head for st. Louis,
where on Monday they are booked to
open q four game series, the only
series Of that extent this tour.
The double-header here may mean
that Aphonse Thomas will be pressed
INTO service against the 6TOWuS aS u
starting pitcher. Cronin said tonight
he did not believe he would rush AL
Crowder, who pitched last Thursday in
Cleveland. back to work with not more
than three days Of rest. The General
has been toiling right steadily thus far
and the pilot would like to hold him
back for q time.
UHEL proved sterling foul
n catcher in today's fray, getting
under three for dificult grabs.
He twice disposed Of Owen in this
manner and his catch Of this Tigers
hoist in front Of the Washington dug
out in the nrst frame was q particularly
bright bit Of work.
Fox, Detroit's new center fielder, has
plenty Of speed and looks to be q
great fly hawk. He did plenty OF
running In the second inning to keep
hit from Goslin. The rookie dashed
back to deep center for the catch
then threw we'll enough to make
Manush, who had gone down to second,
put on steam to beat the ball As he
returned to first base.
Bluege did Just about enough of.

Myers Injury More Painful
Than Serious; Boken His Sub

row morning to ascertain definitely
the extent Of the injury.
The examination revealed no
skull fracture, and 1t was not
thought there was even q conclusion
that could be regarded serious.
There was no sign Of internal hem
orrhage
However, Myer will not be in con-
dition to resume his post at second
base for the Sunday double-header
here between Tigers and Nationals.
His place will be taken By Bob Bo-
ken, utility infielder, who supplanted
the hurt player today.
Myer was accompanied to the hos
pital by both Clark Griffith, presi-
dent Of the Washington club, and
Edward B. Eynon, jr., its secretary.
At the time he was bleeding freely
from scalp wound inflicted by the
blow. The flow Of blood from the
tear back of and slightly below the
right ear was soon checked, how
ever.
The game was only the second for
Myer since his return to playing
status following q flve-day suspen-
sion and fine for his share in the
fighting In which Earl Whitehill,
National pitcher, and Ben Chap
man. Yankee outfielder, also were
involved in Washington last week.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL,


~ ERBY. Conn, May GA mighty
surge in the last 30 yards shot
a desperate Yale varsity across
the finish line this evening a
bare feet ahead of Pennsylvania in
heart-breaking climax Of the annual
Blackwell Cup rowing regatta that
gave the Ellis q clean sweep for the
day.
First in the 150-pound lightweight
pull over a mile and five e-SiXteenths
course, then in the freshman and junior
varsity 2-mile tussle, finally in as great
a varsity battle as the winding Housa-
tonic has ever seen, the Yale oarsmen
hauled to complete triumph In the
eleventh of the Blackwell Cup series.
Gusty rain and chill winds decimated
the observation car attendance to
barely 5000.
THROUGH the first mile Of the q
i mile varsity pull the Ellis, with big
Bill Garsney of Greeley. Colo,
stroking the varsity for the first time
trailed Rusty Callow's Pennsylvania
eight by anywhere from a fraction at
the start to length at the three-quar-
ter-mile mark. Columbia hauled along
in the rear from the start.
Penn's pacemaker, Dick Jordan. kept
his beat just . sweep or two minute
above the 80 Yale pulled through the
first three-quarters.
Garnsey made his first bid coming up
to the mile mark. Just q slight lifting
of the stroke to "a brought his crew
charging up even with Pennsylvania
shell. But Yale fell back when Jordan
lifted the beat to "a and Penn had q
full length margin at mile and half
Once more Yale bid for the lead
coming into the last half mile and as
the beat shot rapidly up to 81 the Ellis
moved up with every stroke to win by
an eyelash
So close was the finish that Ed
Leaders pupils were clicked In 10:234s
and Pennsylvania but one-flfth of q
second slower. Columbia was timed in
1928.
YALE started the clean sweep In con-
i vincing fashion as the l50-pound
ightweights beat Columbia by
better than three lengths, with Penn
sylvania less than a length farther
back. The Eli freshmen smothered Co.
lumbia by almost seven lengths. Yale's
margin in the junior varsity event was
almost feur lengths, with Penn second
and Columbia another four lengths
back.

LATE DRIVE WINS
FOR MILDLY CREW
Near Record Despite Rough

Defeat of Cornell.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A NNAPOLIS, Md, May Grow
~ ing brilliantly in almost record
~ time, Nays varsity crew came
from behind to defeat Corne1l's
eight in their brush over the choppy
Severn River here today.
After trailing by half a length for
the first mile, the midshipmen chal-
lenged in the last half mile, came
abreast with but quarter of mile left
and pulled ahead to win by one-fourth
of length.
The Navy time was Z minutes 80 Sec
onds, which came within 8 seconds Of
equaling the record set by Harvards s
crew in 1917.
IN a preliminary brush the Navy
i plebes lost to Cornell's freshmen by
two lengths, after Richard Gray,
plebe stroke, caught crab and threw
the crew off its stride The Cornell
time was minutes Sc seconds.
The varsity event was rowed between
showers over the lilac -bordered Severn.
The weather had threatened all day
and light drizzle set in during the
freshman event. The driZzle changed
to downpour, but just before the time
for the varsity race the rain stopped
entirely. The wind was negligible, but
the water was choppy.
Nays time was considered remark
able since Harvard had q heavy wind
and tide to aid in setting the record
mark, whereas the water today made
rowing difficult.

"TO CourteOusly Assist.
(New York Times.)

According to an eminent authority, the English speaking world is divided in to CD those who neither know nor care what split infinitive is CD those who do not know but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and approve; (5) those who know and distinguish Com missioner Bolan, who addressed the 300 policemen lat the opening of the police course in spoken land written English, may choose his classifi- Ication in urging them ito courteousy assist citizens and especially our visitors" We assume that he deliberately chose this form to emphasize the "courteousness" of the acts enjoined.
 President Wilson, it will be remembered, Used the split infinitive with discernment and daring. Abraham Lincoln belongs to the first category, or did till the following incident occurred: In the inaton as President he showed the first draft to Ihis friend the Superintendent of Public Instruction lin Springfield, Ill, saying: T think it is all right but grammar, you know, is not my stronghold, and as several persons will probably read that little thing l wish you would look it over and see if it needs doctoring anywhere. His learned friend read lit slowly and, handing it back to him, said that
 lit was strictly correct with very slight exception almost too trivial to mention. But MT. Lincoln wished to be correct without any exception. His attention called to the sentence And it shall |be my care to not violate it. with the suggestion that it would be well to transpose ito" and mot" MT Lincoln replied You think I'd better turn those two little fellows end to end?" And he did
 Commissioner Bolan has adequate precedent for splitting the infinitive and is justified in doing so without such precedent if courtesy is stressed for as Chaucer said long ago, He that most court eously commandeth, to him men most obey"
