Poughkeepsie
Regatta Setup
Favors West
Coost Crews Get Jump
On East in Prep
For 4-MiIe Row
BY BILL BONI,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y. June Is.
Those big, bad, bogeymen from
the West are in again and they've
got the East's college rowing coaches
scared right out of their wits.
Of the II varsity races held on
the Hudson since 1921, California
and Washington have won nine. In
their winning years, one or the
other has finished second all but
twice. Tomorrow California will be
a heavy favorite to rack up No. 10
for the West in the 4-mile pull and
Washington, radically revamped
and greatly improved since it's g.
length defeat by the Bears two
months ago, is good bet for second.
But what can we do about it?"
one of the Eastern coaches COM
planned today. Nothing, so long
as the race is run under the present
setup.
Get Long Training in West.
The Western schools, with open
water almost all year round, prac-
tice in the fall and start in again
in February. In mid-April they
race at miles From then on they
have nothing to do but work for
Poughkeepsie and its miles. What
do we have to do? At the time the
Westerners settle down to 4-mile
workouts we're barely beginning our
sprint season. When that's over
we have just about two weeks in
which to drill the boys for an en-
tlrely different type of race.
What's more, their classes end
early in May. From then on they
can work twice a day. Heck, some
OF our kids still are worrying about
examinations no more than a week
before the race"
Obviously, classroom schedules
can't be revised to suit the rowing
schedules. And nobody, since Mark
Twain first said it, has been able
to do anything about the weather.
But this coach feels it would be at
least partial solution to cut the
varsity distance to 3 miles.
Navy. Cornell Big Threats.
That would lift some of the men,
tai burden OF the boys" he eX.
planned. They can row miles,
sure. But they can't do it half as
well when they go into race know
ing California and Washington have
been rowing at that distance for
two months and they've been doing
it for only two weeks"
Despite all this pessimism, how
ever, the Eastern eights will be in
there giving their best Their best,
from here. seems to be Navy, last
years record breaking winner, and
Cornell, which beat Navy, Harvard
and Syracuse and lost only by 10
feet to Yale in the Carnegie Cup
race Lack of the proper drive
seems to be hobbling the Ithacans
right now, although Coach Harrison
Sanford is hopeful of having his
sweep-swingers keyed up by start
ing time at 5 pm. tomorrow.

Grifith's youngsters may reach

Worrying Griffith, however, is the
slump of Taft Wright, the chunky

by whacking in runs almost monoto-

and when Wright isn't hitting he
isn't very valuable chattel.
Wright has batted a very tender
.118 for his last nine games and has
batted in only three runs over that
stretch. Performing in the first
game yesterday he failed to lift a
ball out of the infield.
The Mats manufactured their only
run in the first inning of that game
when George Case topped a slow
roller down the third-base line and
beat it out for a hit when Third
Baseman Eric McNair fell while
fielding the ball.

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

1t may not come as a startling
revelation, but the Mats have less
kick than Sunday school picnic
punch. Lately, at least, their chief
sin hasn't been lack of creditable
curving or manufacturing errors in
wholesale patches. They simply have
encountered distressing paralysis
of power.
For time the Mats power was
their lone redeeming feature as a
team. Their defense has been and
remains horrible. Their pitching
has been hot and cold. But in the
swatting department the club could
boast, for it has been lowering near
the top all season. Now, though,
there is room for doubt.
In their last seven games the Mats
have averaged less than seven hits,
which is a bit on the feeble side.
1t may be significant that Washing
ton has dropped six of those engage
ments and it required no less than a
four-hit shutout performance by
Pitcher Dutch Leonard to provide its
only victory.
Against Chicago the Mats have
been pathetic, Notwithstanding
Wednesdays 80 triumph. In that
game they collected six hits. Yester-
day as Washington dropped a
double-header, ST. and 40, it de-
livered only two safeties in the first
game and five in the second.
Youngsters in Key Spots.
Trading no longer can be sug-
gested as remedy. That medium
of improving the Griffith A. C. was
abandoned for the year when the
swapping deadline licked into obliv-
ion at midnight last night. The
Mats, it seems, will stand pat, and
they aren't exactly holding royal
flush.
Neither are they bluffing. If they
finish higher than sixth this year
there may be an investigation, but,
by the same token, another year
may reap rewards. BY that time

Rebuilt Detroit
in Run
Of 8 Wins
Bosox Badly JoIted
By Revised Outfit;
Reds Ruise Lead
BY JUDSON BAILEY,


Now that the major league trad
ing deadline has passed it seems
safe to say the Detroit Tigers are
the most strengthened club in base
ball.
Although the Tigers are crouched
in fifth place in the American
League today, some of the first di-
vision clubs must be trembling at
thoughts of Detroit's eight-game
winning streak which already has
cut into the second-place Boston
Red Sox three times in two days.
The Tigers aren't fooling. They
settled the outcome of their game
yesterday in eight Misunderstanding
just time to fill the bases in the first
inning ahead of a home run by Pete
Fox. With Tommy Bridges pitching
six-hit ball they had no trouble
thereafter in winning, 6-3.
Rebuilding of last years fourth
place club started during the winter
in deal which brought Pinky Hig-
gins, a .30o-hittitg third baseman,
to Detroit from Boston. An injury
kept him from joining the team un-
til late last month.
Tigers Show New Spirit.
However, the club did start the
season with Barney McCosky, one
of the years prize rockies, in cen.
terfleld. Since then it has acquired
Buck Newsom, one of the two pitch
ers in the American League who won
20 games last year; Outfielder Earl
Averill, tenth best batter in the
league in 1888, and an assortment
of less notable performers.
This infusion of new spirit and
new ability raised the Tigers from
a faltering eighth to a challenging
fifth within two weeks and enabled
them to beat the Yankees two games
out of three in their last series.
They'll collide with the world cham
pions again tomorrow and some
thing more conclusive may be known
when that series is over
The Yankees lived up to their
reputation as great @Cooler- offers"
yesterday by breaking the Cleveland
Indians winning string at six games.
Lefty Gomez and Mel Harder hooked
up in spectacular hurting duel in
which each allowed only four hits.
A walk, single and ar infield out
provided a run in the fourth and a
10 Yankee victory.
The st. Louis Browns and Phila-
delphia Athletics took the day off
following their night game of We'd
nesday.
Reds Gain Full Game.
Cincinnatis Reds gained a full
game on the second-place St. Louis
Cardinals by trimming the Phillies,
Al, under the lights at Crosley Field
after the Brooklyn Dodgers had
thumped the Cardinals, 8-3, at ST.
Louis in the afternoon.
Bucky Walters permitted the Phils
only five hits and got two singles
himself in winning. The game was
another heartbreaker for Hugh
dosing pitcher Mulcahy. The first
three runs against him were un-
earned as the Phils paraded six
errors.
The Dodgers got 16 hits to crush
the Cardinals after trailing, 81, at
the end of the fourth. The victory
kept them two percentage points
ahead of the New York Giants, who
won their seventh straight, IA, at
Chicago. A five-run rally in the
seventh chased Lefty Larry French.
The Boston Bees plucked a free
hitting game from the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 6-5, in the 18th inning when
Debs Garms doubled, his fourth hit
and John Cooney singled. 1t was
Plttsburgh's sixth loss in a row.

TWINS TELL OF
 LIFE IN HAREM

NEW YORK, Dec. 12. = Life in harem was described by twin sisters who arrived on the Ameri- can Export liner Exochorda. The liner had brought 115 other pas sengers from Marseille
 The peek into harem customs was supplied by Helen Hoffman and Mrs, Ruth Hoffman Brooks, writers, who last summer visited the desert menage of Sheik Agil of the Shammar tribe.
 "Sheiks' wives aren't jealous, :" said Mrs. Brooks. And they're not as sophisticated as American girls. If they don't have children every year they're unhappy"
 Miss Hoffman said the harem itself was nothing more than a huge canopy stretched over the sand. The sheik's three wives, she said, made separate rooms for themselves by stacking blankets up to the roof.
 His favorite wife was the young est, Fatima," Mrs. Brooks said. 'Fatima was about 27."
 The other wives, Eedija and Kaobub, were described as older. 9 They didn't seem to resent t h Q sheik's preference for Fatima, the sisters said, and were quite con- tent to while away the day chat ting until sent for by their mutual husband.
 Wives retail at anywhere from $25 up on the desert. according to Mrs. Brooks. Virtue is considered the prime asset, with good looks running second.

When a boy takes girl to the movies he should suggest that she wait for him in the lobby while he stands in line for the tickets. She doesn't need to stand out in the rain or snow.
 He should remove his hat and coat in the lobby, not wait till he gets to his seat where he'll interrupt the view of those in back of him.
 The couple should let the usher lead them to satisfactory seats, the girl following the usher, the boy fol- lowing the girl If there are no ushers the boy should lead the girl to a seat, letting her enter the row first.
 As soon as they are seated he
