Bayne Denegre of the Yale university crew for next year has an- nounced this week that ater consult tlon with his graduate rowing commit- tee he has arranged with Guy_Nickalls of England to again coach at Yale, and that the same stroke which was taught by him last year will again be tausat to both the university and freshman crews next season, and that he has also arranged with Eugene Gianmint 10 again join Mr. Nickalls in the coach- ing of Yale crews.

The .prospects for next vear are bright. 'To be sure, Yale will lose the wonderful Jack Ap. Dleton, whose grit and drive brought the Yale: boat in ‘over the finish lins! inches ahead last June 19th. And MoHenry, too, will go, and ‘other vet- erans of the crew. But Bayne Denegre will be there, and his example this year, a captain giving up an assured seat in the boat that a better man | ‘might row, has made him an idol of all oarsmen, and of Yale men in partic- ular. His experience this year and s further training next year ought this time to place him in the boat and keep him there by all standards of what Is | form and power in rowing. And the: the victory this year has caused the pot of Yale enthusiasm to boil over| and with the crew next year will be the old Yale spirit, powerful and vital- izing as of yore. | MANY BIG BALL PLAYERS COMISKEY HAS PICKED UP. “Phone 708.

Schalk couldnt be pur- chased now, for Comiskey is in the basebail world to remain. He values | the esteem and good will of the fans above all things else, and knows he couldn't part with Schalk and retaln that respeot—so thut settles it. i “Schalk is the greatest young catch- er I ever saw.” was the spontaneous exclamation of John J. MoGraw after seeing the little catcher in action last | fall. Laudatory remarks about the | Sox_pitchers are common in the big baseball centers. The earned iun proves their superiority. IUs a joke to ask Comiskey to sell one of his sex- tette of star pitchers. The Sox owner dreams of the day when the world's pennant will float from his baseball stadium on the south side. He has the pitchers and the catchers to reach this goal Now he's after the hitters. It Fournier keeps on, Comiskey will Bave his frat .300. bhitter in many a “I mell Ed Walsh-—not on your life,” sald Comiskey recently. ‘Nor would I have released him if he hadn't come back—not s0 long as I own this ball club, Bd’s with me to stay while I remain in the game.” This is the way Comiskey feels about his great oollec- tion of elab stars. The Old Roman has a warm place in his affections for ali | the boys, and now that they . haye | signed long contracts despite Federal league offers the chances are they couldn’t be bought at any price.

Walsh, Scott, Benz, Russell, Cicotte Kuhn and Faber—seven of the bright- est battery stars in the major league firmament—came to Comiskey at a' combined figure probably little in ex- cess of $16,000. Walsh was obtained from the Newark club for a mere trifle Scott was tipped off to Comiskey by one of the Cantillons, a lifelong friend, and signed by the Sox owner at a small figure. Benz was purchased from the Batesville club. for almost nothing and farmed out to Des Moines, where he ripened into a star. Cicotte, a cast off of the Boston Red Sox, was pur- | chased from the Hub organization for e few thousand dollars.

A word to leaders from Secretary Tumulty and “he measure was adopted in silence by the senate and soon re- ported in the house where it will be passed tomorrow. She learned that the measure would be a law in anoth- er day or 80 and expressed her satis- faction. She had become deeply in- terested in_the soclal welfare of the country and had worked always with- out seeking aid of the president. . It was the strain of this, the duties of entertainment and the kidney trouble which became chronic last sutumn that sapped her life. Active Interest in Husband's Carerr. Mrs. Wilson took an active inter- est in the career of her husband in is contests with congress over legis- lation and the numerous official duties with which he was burdened. Constant Helpmate and Adviser. Throughout life shq has been his constant helpmate and adviser. Her clear -judgment on political affairs and broad views of educational questions had been a source of gratification to hom for years. With her help, he wrote his books and on her. judgment he relied. Her devotion to him, ac- cording to those who have known the family intimately, was of remarkable depth. Her one thought was of him. Every morning and evening _during her illness she cautioned Dr. Grayson not to tell the president if she had spent an uncomfortable hour. Her anxiety was that he should not be worried or disturbed. However pain- ful was her suffering, it was her own extreme to kee pthe president from Dbeing affected by her condition. But the president watched her sorrowfully for weeks and realized that she was slowly growing worse. He spent ev- moment he could by her side and when he was not there she was con- stantly calling or speaking of him. Simple, Magnetic Woman. Mrs. Wilson was a woman of simple ways, possessed of a naive, magnetic manner. She had a faculty of putting her guests promptly at ease and was a charming hostess. She was ever democratic and modest in her tastes. When the news of Mrs. Wilson's death reached the senate, discussion of pending business was immediately ended by Senator Kern, the magority leader. TInterrupting the debate on the shipping bill, he sald: Death Announced in Senate. “Mr. President, it becomes my duty to convey to the senate the melancholy intelligence of the death of Mrs. Wil- son, the wife of the president of the United States. Of course the presi- dent at this hour has the earnest sym- pathy of all the people of the natlon and ‘as a mark of sympathy enter- tained here and all through the re- public I move. that the senate do now adjourn.” The motion was silently agreed to and the senators quletly withdrew from the chamber Announced In House by Underwood. Majority Leader Underwood of the house burrieq to the floor as soon as ho recelved word from the White House. He stopped the discussion of the Moon rallway mail pay bill “It is my sad duty,” he said, “to announce to the house the death of Mrs. Wilson, the wife of the pres! dent of the United States. I think the house should show the proper re- spect at this time and I therefore move the adoption of the following resolu- tion: Resolution Passed. ‘Resolved, that the house has heard with profound sorrow of the death of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the president of the United States. “Resolved, further, that a commit- tee composed of the speaker and one additional member from each state in the union be appointed to attend the funeral, “Resolved, further, that as a mark the 3 house do now ad- journ.” Mrs, Wilson had been in poor health since last February when she fell in | the White House and strained her spine. She later practically recovered from that injury, but in the meanttme kidney trouble set in, and gradually she bacame weaker. In Serious Condition Two Month: _About two months ago her condi- tion began to grow serious, and two weeks ago Dr. Grayson became alarm- ed. Noted specialists were called in, and trained nurses were kept in con- stant attendance., She continued to grow worse, however, until serfous sinking spells came on Monday and Tuesday. in Robust Health Mrs, Wilson w fty years old and when ‘she came to the White House was in robust health. Always a home lover she immediately assumed arduous duties of the wife of a pres- 8he took an active interest in delegations calling on the p with other mat- ters. FEven during her last illness she frequently asked to be the events of the United States and of the world. The news of the meriousness of her illness w: kept from the public un- til yesterday, when it was admitted that her chances of recovery were slight. Her condition continuing to grow worse, Dr. Grayson this morning gave out a statement in which he de- scribed her {liness as “alarming.” Life Prolonged by Oxygen. During last night and early this morning she wi kept alive by oxygen angd stimulants. At 2 o'clock this af- terneon Dr. Grayson stdent gave out another 1|statement in which he said that Mrs. | Wiison had had two sinking spells during the morning and that she was conscious but growing weaker. This was the last word to come before her death. Was Born in Savannah, Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen Louise Axson, daughter of a physician clergy- man and was born at Savannah, Ga. She was a student at the New York Art league, when she met Mr, Wilson, who was then taking a post graduate course at Johns Hopkins university. The president and Mrs. Wilson were married June 24 1385. Mrs. Wilson was a sister of Professor Stockton Ax- Son, head of the department of Xng- lish literature at Princeton univer- | sity, and of the wife of Dean Edward | Eliiott of Princeton.
