Its fecade, which is flanked by two mas- sive towers, is of Portland stone, the afiter walls and pedestals of the fore- court being of Scotch granite. The main entrance is surmounted by a “baleony, the parapet of which is jformed by the stone laid in June 113907, by the late King Edward. The eorway itself is formed of marble. ‘surrounded with granite, and is closed b by, a bronze door, the upper panels of which are sculptured in relief.

An important feature of the new #ing is the staircase which is the link jjbétween the old building and the new [¥ one. This is extremely simple in de- ‘8ign.

Y., Flock to Polls—Children Not Neglected. ‘White Plains, N. Y., May 7.—The school election here yesterday brought out a heavy vote of the women of the district, who flocked to the polls when assured by voting their children would not be neglected. A room in the school building had been fitted up with a nurse in attendance, and mothers left their babies there while waiting to cast their ballots. Of the 251 votes cast, 124 were those of women, and the ticket backed by them won with- out opposition. At Irvington, near here, Finley J. Shepard, husband of the former Helen Gould, was elected a school trustee on an unopposed ticket. Mrs, Shep- ard, whc is the heaviest tax payer in the Irvington district, did not vote.

New York, May 7.—Frank Chance, manager of the New York American league team, went to Boston last night fully recovered from an iliness of a week, to resume active direction of the team. His appearance on the side lines ends the active managerial career of Captain Roger Peckinpaugh, who has directed the team in six games, only two of which were chalked up in the 1ost column. | R— New Faces On English Polo Team TBEBE is & surprise in store far American poloists, atéording to the latest advices from Madrid, where the English team is practicing for the international matches. The team which is to meet America has been picked and two of the four men selected are practically unknown in ‘this country. ‘The lineup-as decided on at present is: Captain H. Tomkinson, No. 1; Major F. W. Barrett, No. 2; Captain Vivian Lockett, No. 3; Major C. Hunter, back. In picking this team such good play- ers as Captain Matthew Lannowe, Cap- |- tain E. Palmes and Captain Railston were eliminated. Captain Ritson is out of it .because of sickness. The chief difficulty was to find No. 1, and, though Captain Palmes was the favor- ite for the position, he had to be drop- ped because he was a man that it was found hard to mount. Captain Tom- kinson, who has been chosen to make the attack on the American goal, was a leading figure in English polo last year. He played No. 2 oh the Quid- nuncs, which won the open champion- ship of England, and also was in the same position for the Fifteenth hus- sars, which won the interregimental cup. He is a hard hitter, with good direction, and is considered the equal of Captain Cheape, who was the ad- vance man last year. Perhaps the most important part of the lineup is the change from No. 3 to No. 2 of Major F. W. Barrett, the most brilliant player of the 1913 English season. This change was made be- cause the practice showed that the team was particularly well off in backs. Captain Vivian Lockett, who played back on the visiting four last year, has been moved up to No. 3, and his place as guardian of the goal turned over to Major C. Hunter. Major Hunter is an- other man not well known here, but he made a sensational back for the Tigers’ team in the big matches last year. Ac- cording to the critics on the other side, Major Hunter was the whole Tiger team. As selected, the English team practi- cally becomes one of two forwards and two backs. If no change is made it will offer a novelty so far as the direc- tion of play goes, for Major Barrett, who is slated for the captaincy, thinks that he can fulfill his duties while playing No. 2, instead of being at No. 3, which is his regular place and also *he place usually occupled by the team captain. As soon as the Internationalists reach England a match will be arrang- ed against the old Cantabs, which is considered the trial horse of English polo. On this team will be Captain Haseltine, No. 1; F. M, Freake, No. 2: W. 8. Buckmaster, No. 3, and A. L.

Louis said he had trained faithfully all winter, hoping to equal the per- formance of his son. i [ Nap Lajoie Never Kicks Over Salary APOLEON LAJOIE never haes been known to complain regarding the salary paid him by Charles W. pomers, but it is quite likely that he wishes that during all the time he has worked for the Naps their liberal owner had offered him a bonus, such as Joe Jack- son has been proffered this season. The Carolina clouter, according to a rumor, is to get so much if he hits above .400, so much if he hits above .376, and so much if he hits above .350. Never having hit below. the last named mark since he has been in the Ameri- can league the chances are that J. J. will earn at least one of them. Look what Larry would have had, however, in the way of extra remun- eration had his contract called for more money in the event of his hitting above .350, .375 or .400. In 1901, work- ing for Connie Mack, the king piled up an average of .422, still the highwater mark for the American league and only approached by Ty Cobb in 1911, the year he was accounted the most valu- able player in the younger organiza- tion by the Chalmers jury of newspa- per experts. The Georgian hit .420 that year and .410 the next, Joe Jack- son having an average of .408 in 1911, and Charley (Duke) Farreil an aver- age of .404 in 1903. During the two years of his employ- ment by Somers, Larry has hit better than .375 and in five years better than .350. Cobb has been above the last named mark six times, Hans Wagner five times, Joe Jackson four times, Tris Speaker twice, Ed Delehanty twice, Olaf Henricksen twice and Mike Don- lin twice. JOHNSON AFTER GREAT STRIKE- OUT RECORD. THERE are a number of remarkable things which may happen during this summer’s baseball season, but one which is sure to come off is that Walter Johnson will pass the 1,500 mark in strikeouts unless he abandons the game or breaks that $100,000 arm. The man who won the automobile for being the most valuable player in the American league last season has, since he entered fast company, claimed 1,468 strikeout victims. No other ma- Jor league hurler has in the seven con- secutive seasons from 1907 to 1913 amassed this total. In fact, only three other men have fanned over 1,000 ball players in this length of time. They are Ed Walsh, Nap Rucker and Christy Mathewson. “Big Ed” Walsh, the spitball star of | the White Sox, has been Johnson's ‘closest rival for the title of strikeout king. The Chicagoan has sent 1,405 batters back to the bench since he has been a contemporary of the Senatorial star. Walsh twirled in only sixteen games last season, but from 1807 to 1913, inclusive, he took part in forty- eight more battles than the renowned Kansan. Christy Mathewson has fanned 1,137 0t . men in the last seven campaigns and Ames, Glants-Reds. 23 ¢ T Eddie Plank, Con-|Brown, Cubs-Reds.. %1 - - almost |Mullin, Tigers-Sen- Nap Rucker 1,128. nie Mack's great southpaw, reached the 1,000 mark in that time, | ators 997 of his adversarles taking the count. | geyibach, Cubs-Su- Chief Bender clgimed 864 victims, Howard Camnitz 804, Jack Coombs | Wiitse, 784, Mordecal Brown 747, Leon Ames 748, George Mullin 704, Harry White 628, Ed Reulbach 603 and George Wilt- se 580.

Crew Ceaches Discuss Four Mile Race A MERICAN college crew coaches are hopelessly divided over shortening boat races from four to three miles. Guy Nickalls, Yale—A short race does a man more harm than a long race. The mile and one-sixth race &t Henley does' the oarsmen more harm than the four and one-quarter mile race at Putney. James Rice, Columbia—I do not be- Neve in a four mile race for ocollege crews, and I am heartily in favor of the race for junior eight oared univer sity crews in place of the old four oas- ed race. It is not right to have mems boys train down for such a race in the short period of tims that we in Amer- ica give to rowing. James Ten Byck, Syracuse—There k no danger of serious injury to an oars. man who takes part in a four mily race provided he is a sound man an{ is In good health on race days. George Epler, Wisconsin—I think the three mile race would answer all pur- poses for which it is intended and af ‘| the same time eliminate some of the objections to rowins. Vivian Nickalls, University of Pena- sylvania—I would just as soon have & three mile race, but I am afrald thal the cry would go up for & two, then for a one mile race if this change were carried qut. If they will sign up for twentyfyears for a three mile race, then I'll agree. Dr. Spaeth, Princeton—I have al- ways been opposed to the four mile rade for Princeton. There may be less harm in the longer race for those col- Y | leges which can practice for the full distance on their home course, but I do not believe in spending so much time and money to send crews away for practice, F. L. Guerna, Leland Stanford— There is no reason for adhering to the | four mile distance, which is admittedly a greater physical strain to the oars- men, unless its continuation means benefits that do not attend the three mile race. Charles Courtney, Cornell—I don't believe in a four mile race. I never aid, and I am unalterably opposed to it H. B. Conibear, Washington—The distance has nothing to do with it.
