Crews WORKING
Hardest Stand
Least tChance
Cornell Ruted With
Huskies and Beers
AS the Top Trio
BY BILL BONI.
Associated Press Sports Writer.


POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June %.
The power for Wednesdays 4
mile varsity crew race, 44th in the
intercollegiate Rowing Associa-
tion's series, will be with Washing
ton, California and Cornell. And
where the power lies in rowing, the
glory usually follows.
So there can't be much glory
for the three crews generally con-
signed to bring up the tail end Of
the parade. Yet, they are the ones
for whom the mere effort of getting
here was harder than for any of
the other six.
Some Pay Own Expenses.
At Rutgers, for instance, the
students and alumni raised the
funds to send their representatives
here for the first time. M. I. T.'s
varsity and freshmen paid their
own expenses from the time school
closed early this month until they
checked into camp last Friday.
Wisconsin came east in spite of the
fact its varsity will be the nghtest
on the river and nearly unanimously
is being allotted last place.
No one of these boats can expect
to beat the class Of the regatta,
and it's doubtful they can crash
even the middle three"-Syracuse,
Columbia and Princeton. Their
spirit, though, is just as high and
they whip through the miles of
practice work with as much deter
mination as if they were going to be
the new champions.
You need to watch a crew from a
coaching launch to see what goes
into this rowing. Then you can
watch the boys slough their way
without missing the beat through
swells that could swamp EN-: see
the back muscles come up in ridges
each time they bend into their oars; ;
see how one lad will bite his tongue
almost in half while another
breathes in great, heaving gulps,
and hear the chattering little cox
swains try to hammer one last bit
of drive into their galley-slaves.
Badgers Spirit Typical.
We followed Wisconsin's time trial
yesterday from the Badgers coach
ing launch. With Coach Alan Wall
former N. Y. U. football fineman
screaming at them to squeeze ii
home" don't lose that water" get
that body angle" keep those slides
slow" the Badgers sped down the
river in 19 minutes 40 seconds, give
or take few seconds.
For crew so light in a contest
where weight and endurance is so
vital, the time wasn't bad, but the
boys weren't satisfied. When Walz
told them what it was, his lean
No. gripped the oar butt in both
hands.
"Well hit 10 fat on Wednesday
! or bust" he said.
That, win or lose. is what keeps
'em coming back to Poughkeepsie.

through his boyish beard, turned
his foamy face from a steamy mir
ror in the Cleveland clubhouse after
beating the Mats for the fourth
time this season and said, Yes,
I think I'll win 80 games this sea-
son. Anyway, I certainly should.
Unless I hit hot-weather
slump-and I don't seen any reason
why I should-I'd say can make
it. I've been fortunate enough to
nave a good start and if I keep
getting the breaks I believe I can
do it I sure hope so.
What batters do I have the most
trouble with? Well, Taft Wright
hits me pretty consistently. but
believe Ted Williams is more dan
gerous He's improved lot as a
hitter, that Williams. He's tough
to get out. He won't go for bad
pitch and he'll hit about anything
you throw up there.
Cramer Always Tough.
DOC Cramer, though, is about
as steady against me as anybody.
He's always been tough for me, but
he never seems to hurt me with
his hits. I guess it's because he
hasn't the power to get distance
like Wright and Williams, but he's
just as consistent as either of
them"
Feiier, who had just achieved his
18th victory of the campaign at
the expense of the Mats, beating
them, SO, on seven hits before
$4,000 customers yesterday at Grif-
nth Stadium, has learned to re-
spect Washington's center fielder,
who has represented one-third of
the Mats attack against him this
sea ason.
Washington has obtained only
18 hits and one earned run off
Feller in 38 innings. He has pitched
is consecutive shutout innings
against the Mats, twice whipping
them on four hits and on another
occasion throttling them with three
The Mats haven't been very success
full against the Indians speed spe-
cialist.
Cramer. however, has been no
lame duck against Feller. He has
nailed Bob for six hits and boasts
lofty 1888 average against him.
Only one of Docs hits has Travelled
for extra bases, though. and, as
Feller says, Cramer isn't clipping
him at times when it hurts.
1t appears the Mats will be Eel
leris most delightful stepping stone
to his goal of 80 games, but Bob
has had no easy time of it in three
appearances against Washington.
He trimmed Ken Chase, 81, in their
first meeting this season and later
outlasted him to win, 40, in II
innings. He thumped Sid Hudson,

rubbed it in during the nightcap

The Mats weren't classy. They

runs in the second inning of the
opener, but by the time the ninth

survived a belated rally.
Washington was very much in
the second game as late as the
fifth inning, when it held Az lead,
much to its amazement. Then in
the sixth the AS unloaded five runs
off Vernon Kennedy, continued
with four more in the seventh, one
in the eighth and two in the ninth.
Bob johnson sent Philadelphia
into a 20 lead in the first inning
of the nightcap when he deposited
a home run in the left field bleach
ers, but the Mats tied it up with
single runs in the third and fourth
and grasped a briefly admired lead
in the fifth when Buddy Lewis
socked a homer over the right field
fence after George Case had sim
gled.
A brace of walks and singles by
Wally Moses, Dick Siebert, Eddie

the sixth, and the AS weren't dis
