Philadelphia, Pa., June 10.—Tom- my McConnell, a Philadelphja catcher, who was a sensation with the Mead- ow Brook club last season, is to join the Athletics in the west. Last year his work attracted several scouts and when the Cleveland club played its last series in Philadelphia McConnell worked out with Manager Fohl's team. The Indians wanted him to sign, but he refused. McConnell is a hard hitter. EVANS TO LEAD LAFAYETTE ON TRACK Easton, Penn., June 10.—Joseph Raymond Evans of Washington, N. J., has been elected captain of the Lafay- ette track team for next year. Evans has been a member of the track team for two years, his principal event being the broad jump. The “L” has bgen awarded to the following members of the track team: Captain Maxwell, McFall, Paulson, Evans, Bechtel, Bar- ret, Pleinspehn, Maxfield, Ryan, and Manager Woodcock. FACTORY LEAGUE SCORER. Axel Earnest one of the best versed young men on baseball matters in this city, has been secured by the officer of the Factory league to act as offi cial scorer for the season.

New London, June 10.—Yale’s A 'varsity crew had a time trial down the measured four-mile course last evening, starting at 6:45 o’clock, and pulled the distance in the exceptional- ly fast time of 20 minutes and 46 seconds. Harvard's best time since coming to the Thames river, 20 min- utes and 55 seconds, was rowed Thurs- day evening with condition not quite ! as good as those which favored Yale. A scrub eight paced the Blue crew last evening and beat the A crew by | half a boat length at the two-mile mark, the time being 10 minutes and 15 seconds. From the two-mile to the end the A crew was unpaced, and finished strong. The stroke varied from thirty to thirty-six. \ The Eli freshmen followed in a time trial all by themselves soon after the ’varsity crew went down stream, and paddled | over the upper two miles in 10 min- | utes and 6 seconds. Harvard's second 'varsity and fresh- | man eights had a rattling good race vesterday morning for two miles down | stream with the wind and against the tide, the freshies being beaten by a boat length. The ’varsity crew fin- | ished in 10 minutes and 35 seconds. | George S. Mumford, a former Crim- son rowing coach, arrived at Red Top vesterday afternoon and watched the evening practice. Lund, the regular boat, was back in the shell yesterday in his old position. Coach Herrick said Lund wanted to see the crew in action Thursday night, and was on the launch following the substitute, miles down stream. ! Harvard’'s A ’varsity crew rowed a ' very fast two miles down-stream about six o’clock last evening in a stiff east- erly breeze and with ebb tide. Coach Herrick said the time for the mile was five minutes flat, and the two miles were covered in 9 minutes and 53 sec- onds. PENN CREW CHANGES Junior Oarsmen Promoted to ’Varsity After Time Trial on Hudson— ‘Wright Shakes 'Em Up. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. June 10.—- Pennsylvania's rowing troubles crowd- ed Cornell out of the limelight yes- terday. After a four-mile time trial vesterday morning in which the ju- nior ’varsity defeated the Pennsyl- vania first ’varsity combination, Joe ‘Wright announced that his junior ecrew would row in the four-mile race in the'regatta on Saturday next, while the ’varsity would be the two-mile crew and would row against the Col- umbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania ju- niors. To top this most drastic of all changes, in which the crew, coxswain, shell and all were transposed at one fell swoop, Wright received a tele- gram from the University of Penn- sylvania faculty announcing that Jer- 4 in the heretofore juniors, would be ineligible to row in either the 'varsity or freshman boats and that the only place he could be used was in the two-mile junior race. Therefore, when the Quaker eights go on the river this morning George Wharton Pepper, jr., until now No. 6 in the ’'varsity boat, will take Jer- place in the four-mile crew, while the dental student whose eligi- bility has occasioned so much trouble will go to No. 6 in the two-mile ’var- sity. Pepper will be the only man in the four-mile eight who has ever rowed in a 'varsity race. RED MEN HAVE FAST OPPONENT Followers of the Red Men's baseball | | promised Charlie White. i legiate track team at Cornell: Captain | Hoffmire, Potter, Van Winkle, Gubb, {ner of the mile run at the Pennsyl- team of this city, will have an op- portunity of seeing just how good the team is tomorrow, when the Merrow Machine company nine of Hartford will stack up against Manager Earn- est's boys at the Fast End diamond. The visitors are members of the City league in the home town, and by their Performances this season, promise to force the locals to top speed, if a victory is to be attained. Peterson and Johnny Wright will probably be in points for the home boys. The game will start at 3 o’clock. WILL LOSE MANY STARS JIthaca, N. Y., June 10.—Graduation will take from the champion intercol- Taylor and Corwith, all point winners at the Cambridge meet. The college also losses by the same route Starr and McLaren, point winners in 1915; Millrad and Beckwith, the latter win- vania dual meet. RITCHIE DECLIN Milwaukee, W June Mitchell, manager of Ritchie, former lightweight champion, yesterday re- ceived an offer of $5,000 and two round-trip tickets for Ritchie to go to South America and fight Benny Leon- ard ‘twemty rounds. Mitchell replied that he would make the trip, but not under $10,000 the same as had been $5,000 OFFER 10.—Bill ROVERS AFTER GAMES. The Rovers baseball team of this city, would like to arrange games with fast teams averaging 16 to 21 years. Out of town teams offering suitable inducements will be considered. All communications should be mailed to George L. Arendt, 451 Church street, New Britain, i Braves are still struggling back in the } worst clubs T An Annual Yawp. The say the world will reach its finish In samething like ten thousand years; All sin in ages will diminish, Also all sorrow, pain and tears; I know, with disposition sunny, A bush league bard with bush league ' pen, Just when I'll coin a bale of money— But when will F. Welsh fight again? I know just when the tariff question Will be cansidered down and out; | And when the subway’'s raw conge: tion Will be relieved without a doubt; I know when graft will pass forever, | When Bryan will not charge a yen For oratorical endeavor— But will F. Welsh fight again? The Case of the Braves. In 1914 when Stallings won the pennant his club was away to one of the worst starts on The Braves that vear won only three out of the first eighteen games and were still a bad last in July. In 1915 Stallings expected to get away ta a flying start, when Ever's jrjury and Bill James defection again threw him by .the wayside, so far hack that his late season rally fell chort. This spring when we saw Stallings down South he was full of confidence that his Braves at last would get the desired and long delayed flying start. The Miracle Citizen believed that he had met every emergency and that he had the stuff to travel with, We happen to know that the Giants, Phillies and Dodgers all figure the Braves as the one club to beat. Yet here June is flying along and the; record. old rut, unable, for some reason, to hit the clip which they expected to show. Stallings is getting gaod pitch- ing but his club isn't batting. It is now registered only a notch above .280, which isn't husky enough to get very far. Yet the material is thére and it is merely a question once again as to when the Braves will open their flag campaign. The New Arrivals. This has been a fairly tough season fcr the two present kings of the mound. Both Johnson and Alexander have been unable to keep pace with | iwo youngsters who are now setting a merry clip. Johnson has been forced to follow behind Guy Mortan of Cleveland, while Alexander has dropped in back of Al Mamaux of Pittsburgh. Both Morten and Mamaux pitched well enough last season to prove they | are well beyond the fluke stage. If their ball clubs hold up they have now better than an even chance to beat the two big stars to the final wire, At Home and Abroad. There was a day in baseball when few clubs could win on the road and when it was considered something akin to a disgrace to lose many games at home. Apparently the epoch is past. The Western clubs in the National League have all been doing better in the East than they did at home. And the Giants ce found it far easier to achieve glory on the road. At pres- ent McGraw's club has a road Per- centage around .770. You might fizure that a ball club good enough to win twenty out of twenty-six games on the road would have strength enough to be a dozen lenths to the gocd. But while playing at a .770 ! pace abroad, the Giant home record is still below .200. We hope that you don’t ask for an answer to this queer, | quaint shift for we din’t happen to bave it in stock.

Cubs vs. Giants. It has been a good many years since the Giants and Cubs were pen- nant rivals where each was gnaw- ing at the other’s throat. Not since 1911, anyway. Yet such is tradition. From 1905 | tc 1911 these two clubs were general- Iy nmeck and neck in the days when Christy Mathewson was accustomed o give battle to Miner Brown, That tradition has still held and when the Cubs and Giant meet much of the old | pep is still at hand. Barly this spring Tinker looked to have one of the in the league. But the once star shortstop has worked long and hard and at last he has a ma- chine that no rival is taking lightly.
