LEADER REMAINS
 YALE CREW BOSS
Oarsmen Have Confidence in Mentor RumOred Ion
 the Way Out'

New Haven, Conn.,, July 3. (UP)- Despise the fact that Yale oarsmen have dropped IT consecutive races to superior Harvard crews, the Ellis today gave another one-year con- tract to Ed Leader, who has direct ed rowing activities at Yale for the past 19 years.
 Tho A. A. also resigned Bob But Ter, coach of the 150-pounderS, but rejected Charlie Hartman, who took over the guidance of the freshmen last year.
 Good Backing
 Leaders reappointment came upon the recommendation of varsity Captain Elect Bob Wallace, and re- tiring Capt. Dick Gould. Reports that tha athletic association be- neved 1t inadvisable to change coaches at this time, also entered into the consideration.
 After the contract had been an- nounced, Leader commented:
 What I like best abuot my re- appointment is the fact that Yale Oarsmen still have confidence in me.n
 The former University of Wash ington crewman came to Yale in 1922, and immediately began 8 string of victories which shot Yale into the rndefeated class for four con- secutive years. In 1924 the varsity won the Olympic championship. and until 1e30 Harvard was able to win only one out of eight starts.
 The turning point came in 1937 when Harvard started winning streak that was emphasized last month as the crimsons pulled over the finish line more than three lengths in front.

(United Press Sports Editorl

New York, July S.--(UP)-1n the late summer of 1948, when Joe Di- Maggio's batting streak if finally stopped at 1928 games, they still are going to be talking about yesterday afternoon when the Boston Red Sox turned themselves into 8 band of burglars in . vain attempt to rob the Yankee Clipper of his glory.
 It was the dsE when DiMaggio hit safely in his 18th consecutive game and broke the record of Wee Willie Keeler who played back in the Span ish-American War days. It was 8 bright, sunny day-l1ot at all suit able for the commission of burglary --and there were 8.682 witnesses to the crime that the Red Sox attempt ed to perpetrate.
 Manager Joe Cronin of the Red Sox had 1t figured this way:
 1. If you pitch low to DiMaggio, he will get Q hit.
 2. If you pitch high and outside to him, he will get a hit.
 3. If you (a) Fast bali him, (b) slow ball him or Co curve ball him, he will get a hAt.
 Therefore, Cronin decided the only chance to stop DiMaggio was to rob him--to let him hit the ball and then make burglar catches" So when the game started the Red Sox line up under the following aliases:
 Jesse James, cf
 Robin Hood, 1b
 Tom Tom, the Piper's Song,f
 Gerald Chapman, Ss
 The Thief of Bagdadl If
 Al Jennings, 3b
 Ali Baba's 70 Thieves, 2b
 Jimmy Valentine. c
 John Dillinger, p
 Spence the RObber
 The robbery began in the first in- ming. DiMaggio belte1 one into deep right center and Stan Spence, play- ing under the name of the Thief of BAgdad, ran far to his right, leaped into the air and caught the ball. There was an argument in the press box about the nature of the crime, but the official scorer ruled 1t was grand larceny and not petty.
 The next time DiMaggio came to bat he tried to keep the ball away from right field by hitting 6 slash ing grounder over third base. Jim (Al JeTlnings) Tabor did the dirty work this time. He dashed over, made a back-hAndsd stop and whirled and threw DiNGaggio out at first. It was the most outrageous robbery since Paris stole Helen and started the Trojan war.
 By this time DiMageio was bored with this lawlessness and so was Manager Joe Mccarthy Of the Yan- keeS.
 By doing considerable thinking between the fourth and sixth in- ningE they hit upon method re- storing law and order. The idea was to belt the bail out of the park where the Boston bandits couldn't touch 1t.
 DiMAggio went to bat in the sixth, took two balls and then hit a foul. On the next pitch, he blasted a home run into the lower left field stands.
 IEeigh-ho, Silver, the bandits are fleeing in all ddrectionsI
