Crews Conclude
HeaWWork

NEW LONDON, Conn, June
16.-Long- distance time trials for
the Yale and Harvard crews had
ended today. The crews meet
Friday.
The Eli varsity eight padded
upstream, unpaced, over tn e
Thames River four-mile course
last night.
The course had scarcely a rip
pie owing to a pelting rain flat
tening out it's surface. The boat
had little or no wind to hamper
it and Coach Ed Leaders rear
ranged varsity was caught at "a
minutes 2 seconds by Harvard
scouts in automobiles along the
Groton Highway. The entire
Crimson rowing squad watched
Yale in action.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16-
With crews of the Old Dominion
Boat Club shaping up as the best
in recent years, club officials are
planning an extensive campaign
for the local oarSmen, with the
feature of the season to be their
entry in all classes at the Middle
States Racing Associations re-
gatta, to be held in September.
A program has not yet been
made up, but it is understood that
Old Dominion representatives will
vie in every crew event staged in
this section. The usual dual en-
gagement with the Potomac Boat
Club will also be staged.
The recent junior membership
ruling enabling high school stu
dents to join the club at the regu-
lar junior fee has added a num-
ber of bright prospects to the
crew, and once again the rowing
sport is fast shaping up. as prin.
cipal sport at the club.

For when the players take the
field, they will wear baseball uni
forms exactly as they were in 1875,
so years ago.
The olden-time contest will be
staged in addition to the regularly
scheduled game between the Bees
and the champion Chicago Cubs,
teams representing the two cities
which have been members of the
National League throughout the
entire so years of the leagues
existence.
President Bob Quinn, IT the
Bees, plans to make the occasion
a reunion for baseball men of the
Nineteenth century from all over
New England.
1875 Rules In Force
The reconstruction of the an
tique uniforms will help to carry
out in exact detail the picture of
1876 baseball. The field will be
marked according to specifications
of the original National League
rule book. The 1875 rules of play
will be followed, with 10 men on a
side, the umpire stationed on a
chair halfway to first base AMI
the glovelesS catcher playing back
against the grandstand most Of
the time.
The anniversary game, with the
uniforms following the styles and
spirit of 1876, will portray faltn-
fully to modern-day fans JUST
what a ball game looked like in
the days when Cap AnSon, Hoss
bourne, Huge "One-arm'
Daily and those other pioneer
heroes of the diamond were in
their prime.
George Wright, of Dorchester,
Mass, and Tom Bond, of AllSton,
Mass, two of the three surviving
members of the National League
who were active players during
the 1875 season, will attend the
anniversary celebration.
Wright, who has retired as head
of the sporting goods firm that
bears his name, played shortstop
for the Boston team. He is fire.

Tommy Bond, who pitched for
Hartford in 1876, is retired city
worker and also attends the ball
games with Wright.
The Boston sixtieth anniver-

Cornell To Test

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June
16.-Cornell'S varsity. crew, which
will carry Eastern hopes in the
annual Poughkeespie regatta next
Monday, will get its first time
trial for the four-mile race down
the Hudson tomorrow, and the
EaSt's chances of taking rowing
supremacy from the West will be
determined largely by what the
Big Red boatload shows in this
workout.
California, seeking its fourth
straight victory, and Washington,
winner over California in the
spring and boasting the biggest
set of sWeep-swingers in training
for the regatta, seem to combine
into an insurmountable obstacle
for the East, but Cornell is rated
as a possibility.
Cornell was beaten by a foot
by the Golden Bears last year.
And six of the eight who looked
like winners right down to the
finish are back this year, more
experience d and sufficiently
weighty to make a race Of it
again.
The Big Red eight arrived only
yesterday for training, complet-
ing the fleet of 19 crews-in-
cluding seven varsities-entered.

ity, but given little chance of
scoring, got in its first workout

Records Show
BaCkstop'S S
Team Value

Baseball managers say penantS
are won down the middle of the
diamond, and they place partlcu.
lar emphasis on the man behind
the plate. They will tell you the
catcher is the balance wheel who,
more than any other player, can
make a team click. Excluding the
pitcher he works harder than any
of the athletes and while the
pitcher generally gets three or
four days of rest between starts
the catcher is expected to play in
at least 100 games during the
season.
The records substantiate every
thing the managers say. There
has not been a team in either Of
the big leagues in recent years
that has won a pennant without
one especially good catcher. who
usually has one better-than-aver-
age reserve receiver as support.
What is more, the first catcher
on a championship team generally
participates in over 100 games.
While the average number OF
catcherS who play in more than
100 games in each league is four,
you will have to go back to 1880 to
find a championship team without
a catcher playing in at least that
many contests. The team was the
Cardinals, and despite the absence
of one busy backstop, it had two
smart, sturdy receivers in Jimmy
Wilson and Gus Mancuso.
In the same year the AS won
the American League flag with
Mickey Cochrane handling the
pitchers. Mickey was active in 130
games. The only other catcher
over the 100 mark was Rick Fer
rell, who played in 101 games.
The following year the AS and
Cards repeated their 1880 triumphS
and again Cochrane was busy for
the Mackmen, while. Wilson and
MancuSo divided the catching
duties for the Cards, Wilson ap-
pearing 101 games.
The YankS and Cubs drove on to
pennants in 1882. For the YankS,
Bill Dickey was the regular re-
ceiver, and he was one of four
catchers to play in more than 100
games. Gabby Hartnett, who for
10 years has passed the century
mark in games played-a National
League record-was the Cubs No.
/ backstop, while his substitute
was Rollie HemSley.
In 1888, the Giants and Senators
were the pennant winners, and
Mancuso and Luke Sewell were the
respective catchers. Both were
veritable iron men, playing in
over 40 games each, to lead the
catchers in that respect.
The Cards and Tigers, cham
pions of 1884, were well-sup-
ported behind the plate, For
the Cards, Bill Delaney, as one
of the rookie sensations of the
year, supplanted Spud Davis for
the regular catching chores. The
Tigers had Manager Cochrane,
the top-ranking backstop in the
circuit, and the veteran Ray Hay
worth to relieve him.
Last season it was Cochrane
and Hayworth again for the
Tigers, while the Cubs won out
with Hartnett enjoying his best
year in the big show. Gabby
was voted the leagues most valu-
able PLAYER.

LEHMAN SEEKS AMENDMENT

Governor Lehman has come out for
an amendment to the federal consti-
tuition, IF necessary" to enable the
states to enact minimum wage laws
for women and minors and adopt
other measures of social reform.
Naturally, Governor Lehman would
like to have the supreme court reverse
its decision invalidating the New York
minimum wage law when the case is
reargued before that tribunal some
time this winter. But whether the
court does this or not, labor wants
an amendment that will empower con-
gress to regulate industry as well as
interstate commerce, and puts an
eternal period to such vicious nulli-
fieation Of state laws as the court
recently indulged in.

PRAIRIE FARMER
FOR ROOSEVELT

The Prairie Farmer, published in
Chicago, one of the oldest and most
widely circulated farm papers in the
country, has declared itself in its cur
rent issue in favor of the e-election
of President Franklin d. Roosevelt.
The declaration was made in the form
of signed article by The Prairie
Farmers editor, Clifford V. Gregory,
outstanding farm editor and writer
on farm subjects. The Prairie Farmer
circulates especially throughout the
Middle West. 1t is non-political in
character. In expressing the attitude
of The Prairie Farmer, Mr.. Gregory
explains he voices both his own view
and that of Burridge d. Butler, the
Farmers publisher.
Mr.. Gregory explains that neither
he nor Mr. Butler owe allegiance to
any political party.
1--WE have voted for republicans as
often as for democrats. Our views
are not partisan. Our only allegiance
is to our readers. Four years age
banks We're crashing, farm mortgages
We're being foreclosed, and farm prices
were at level so low that it meant
ruin for agriculture and for the coun.
try. Farm and city folk alike were
in despair; hope had all but vanished
from their hearts. We do not want
to go through that experience again.

LAUDS STATES
SOCIAL SECURITY

Declaring that Ohio is now taking
care of thousands of handicapped
persons who heretofore were deprived
Of proper care, Judge Henry j Robi-
son, chief of the states division of
public assistance, lauded the progress
Of the states social security programs
during the last few months.
With total of 10000 persons re-
ceiving assistance under the social
security program, Judge Robson
stated that since the introduction of
the program in the state in April,
1886, We have gone far in construct
ing strong foundation to administer
the benefits derived from the many
phases of the program"
In reviewing the major social secur-
ity programs during the last fiscal
quarter which extend from July 1,
1886, to September 80, 1886, Judge
Robson estimated that 10000 needy
aged, 10000 dependent children, 5000
blind persons, and 1000 crippled chill
dren received assistance.
The cost of caring for the states
dependent children totaled $1,330,9o
for the quarter. Of this total, the
federal governments portion amounts
to $443,633 or one-third, while the
state and counties also paid one third
each Of the total cost.
From July through September, the
state expended $4,000 to care for
blind recipients. Of this amount, the
federal government will reimburse the
state with $4,000, or one-half of
the total cost, which is its share in
carrying on this type Of assistance
To take care of aged recipients, the
total cost for August alone was S2,-
224, ITO, Of which the federal gvoern-
ment paid one-half or $1,112,085 as its
share Of this program.
The federal governments recent
approval on Ohio's plan to aid depend
ent children and the blind will allow
for more extensive program in these
two divisions during the next quarter,
Judge Robson said.

THE AUTOCRACY OF THE
COURTS

When the election is over, the Amer
lean people should turn their chief
public attention to smashing the
autocracy of the courts. 1t will take
some smashing; but the absolute need
of it is too clear to be denied.
Unemployment insurance, as pro-
vided by the social security act, is
being hamstrung in the courts. In
three states, Alabama, Massachusetts
and Washington, the collection of pay
roll taxes has been halted by injunc-
ton suits. In Alabama, literally hun
dreds of employers joined in the suits
under the same group of corporation
lawyers. In many other states which
have passed unemployment insurance
laws, preparations are being made for
similar action.
The New York unemployment in
surance law is headed for the su-
preme court of the United States, and
may reach there before the end of the
year. Remembering what that court
did to the New York minimum wage
law, the prospects of upholding the
other New York statute are not
bright.
Nor is all the economic imbecility
and reaction confined to federal courts
State courts have their share TIL,
supreme court of Pennsylvania ha.
just knocked out two laws intended
to relieve home owners impoverished
by the depression. Under the oil,
Pennsylvania law which now take
force again, when mortgage is de
| faulted, the holder of the mortgag,
can take possession of the property
4
and then, no matter how much ha
been paid on the mortgage, he cal
get judgment for the full amour
of it against the former owner.
! To say that this is robbery is
mild statement. But by vote of t,
i, the Pennsylvania supreme cour
declared that any limitation of tha
robbery was unconstitutional.
/ Federal and state courts alike hav
proved that they are barrier t
economic reforms. The quicker thei
power to act in that capacity is takel
from them, the better.
