Trying Interesting Experiment. The T'otomacs are trying an inter- esting experiment—that- of having their crews coached by one or ineir own members. The boats are in charge of Supplee, former Tech High foot ball star and for years a mem- ber of Analostan and Potomac crews. Besides handling the crews Supplee is rowing himself. And it is rather unusual, but the big fellow says that while he would like to make a posi- tion in the senior boat, he believes that he can develop better men to fill the positions. “So far we have not had the least trouble with our present system of coaching,” says Supplee, “and I be- the fellows are pulling together like a charm and everybody is working with the spirit of co-operation upper- most in their minds. We are going to have good crews and I think we shall make a good record. “You know we expect to go against the best boats in the country in the National regatta and the strongest combinations from Canada to Rich- mond in the Peoples and Middle States events. Our first regatta will be the Peoples, at Philadelphia, July 4. We would like very much to have entered the events at Philadelphia Decoration day, but I think that it is best to learn to row and to get in the right physical shape before taking part in an actual race..

IRST place in both major leagues is no longer a season’s permanent fixtdre for either New York club. Before the campaign is ended first place probably will do more trembling in the balance than a plate of aspic jelly carried by a palsied wajter. The haughty supremacy of the Yankees and the Giants is threatened. The finish of the second east and east and west and west series to be completed today will bring western clubs of the National League to eastern soil, while the eastern clubs of the American League will tread the prairies of the west. That means much to the championship races. It was the western clubs of both the big circuits "which checked the runaways after the New York clubs had smothered the east, for the Giants caught a tartar in Pittsburgh, Cincin- nati, Chicago and St. Louis. and the Yanks ecame up with an abrupt jerk when Detroft and St. Louls faced them on the Polo Grounds, although they ran riot against Chicago and Cleveland. To defeat Chicago with case was a novel experfence, for the Yanks, as the Sox in 1921, were suredly their jinx. . Made Splurge at Outset. Because the Yanks and the Giants made such a terrific splurge at the beginning of the present season, due to "the _suffocation of Desdemona Washington by Othello New York, and the seml-annihilation of Brook- lyn by :the Giants, the impression gained ground with all fans that the champlonship race of 1922, was a pa- rade _of the Broadway : Mulligan Guardk. But it isn't. It's a long way from and before the end of the next likely that some other club may be in the lead as it is that the Giants and Yanks will lead, providing, of course, that the western teams llve up to what they have been able to do thus fa | Miller Huggins Is Nervous. It now remains to be developed what kind of road teams the eastern clubs of the American League-are to prove | &8 themselves and what strength on the road will be held by the western clubs of the National League. Miller Huggins of the Yankees is viewing his coming expedition with some trepidation. He realizes that his team was overpacing itself against the eastern clubs and is fully cog- nizant of the fact that St. Louis and Detroit gave him battle. His hope 4s in finding Chicago as soft as the Sox were in New York and Cleveland shaky and impotent because of the general slowing-up of the team, for it is the lethargy of age that has hit Cleveland both as to its.pitchers and its general team players. The Giants are shaky. There is trouble on the team. Pitchers who are not up to championship stand. ard cannot give championship values. —_— HARVARD’S SECOND CREW IS VICTOR OVER VARSITY CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 3.—Har- vard’s second varsity crew defeated the varsity oarsmen by a quarter of & length over the mile and seven- elghts course on the Charles River today, rowing the distance in 9 minutes 38 seconds, a time sald to have been surpassed omly once in American rowing history.
