Bob Shawkey is showing up well with _the Yankees. His work is pleas- ing Manager Bill Donovan greatly. New London, Rutland, Lawrence and Lowell are considered the best ball clubs on field and Hartford are generally. but not correctly the poorest clubs. Manager Joe Tinker of the Cubs has barred shortcake and other pastry at the training table. Joe hasn't recov- ered from the seven successive de- feats handed out by the Phillies. Ted “Kid” Lewis, who is to fight Jack Britton a twenty-round bout at New Orleans April 15, for the wel- terweight championship of the world, is down at kewood, N. J., with his trainers getting into condition for the battle. Britton will work out for the contest at the ew Polo A. A, of Harlem. The Masked Marvel is traveling along at a merry clip these days. Within the past three weeks he has eliminated three very formidable op- ponents in the heavyweight division. He won two straight falls in his re- cent bout with Jess Westegard, beat Tom Dawson, the Butte miner, in straight falls, and made Marty Cut- ler quit in twenty minutes after pun- ishing him severely with a toe hold. Duke P. Kahanamoku, of the Hui Nalu club, of Honolulu, and W. T Rawlins, president of the Hawaiian Association of the A. A. U., and also president of the club which this great Hawaiian swimmer represents in com- petition, visited A. A. U. headquarters and conferred with Frederick W. Ru- bien, secretary-treasurer of the Ama- teur Athletic Union, in relation to the arrangements for the various swim- ming championships which Kahana- moku is to compete in. Several changes in the lineup of the Yale baseball team for the zame with Ambherst, Saturday, have been sug- gested during the past few days on the outdoor diamond and it is likely that Kinney, the basketball star, will succeed Armstrong at third base. Kin- ney is a good fielder and possibly bet- ter than Armstrong at the bat. He was kept off the freshman squad last year through his inability to keep his stud- ies above the required grade, but has been showing excellent form in prac- “ice this season.

New York, April 6.—The obviously speculative character of today's mar- ket may be judged from the fact that halw a dozen special issues, notably Mercantile Marines, Crucible Steel, Mexican _ Petroleum, International Nickel, U. S. Industrial Alcohol and American Zinc, more or less in the order named, supplied from one quart- to one third of the day’s total bus- iness. There were reasons, actual or al- leged, to account for the movement of some of the stocks, as in the case ol Marines, whereir negotiations suggest a hetter understanding between op- posing interests and in the Petroleums which made natural response to fa- vorable trade conditions. Alcohol's extreme vise of 4 3-8 to the new record of 107 1-2 and zinc’s gain of 2 5-8 to the new maximum of 92 1-4, were attributed to a drive against the short interest in those issues, the same probably applying to Crucible’s rise, much of which was later forfeited. Other shipping shares like United Fruit anq Pacific Mail kept moderate pace with marines, while American and Baldwin Locomotives and New York Air Brake represented the stocks of the munitions group in less active fashion. Motors and other equipments, as well as U. S. Smelting, recently listed, were variably higher. General Motors was a striking excep- tion to others of its class, falling points on a single sale to 460. Rails played their usual inconspicu- ous part, with no material changes though these were mainly upward. S. Steel was fairly active and reflect- ed further pressure on every attempt to put the stock forward. Coppers were duil and uncertain, while Amer- ican Linseed, preferred, featured the fertilizers with a gain of minor pro. portions. Total sales amounted ta 530,000 shares. In point of financial significance the outstanding feature was another break in exchange on Paris, demand francs weakening to 5.99 1-4 with cables at 5.98 1-2. The demand rate compares with the minimum quotation of 6.03 made on September 1, 1915, when the Anglo-French loan was impending. This Gevelopment was not reflected in other foreign remittances, most of which showed marked firmness, es- pecially exchange on the Scandinavian countries. Bonds displayed more steadiness than stocks, Canadian 5's of 1931 be- ing especially active and strong. To- tal sales (par value) were $4,045,000. U.

Harvard Sentiment is for Shifti ing of Crew Head. The curtailment of the Harvard crew captain’s power in the future is certain to result from the present ex- position of aquatic affairs by the| Crimson, Harvard's daily undecrgrad- uate paper. Alumni, undergraduates and the athletic association are all | understood to be in favor of shifting the balance of power to the head coach | of rowing, instead of placing the ult! mate say-so with the undergraduate captain of the varsity shell, Feeling of Unrest. The feeling of unrest with regard to Harvard crews of the future has served to bring the balance of power to the debating point. In the last two years Harvard has seen her perennial supremacy orn the water disappear. The succession of Yale victories, after the Harvard system in rowing had ap- parently been perfected, caused Crim- son adherents to demand an eradica- tion of the trouble, even if it entailed the dismissal of the head coach. virtual firing of Jim Wray marked the beginning of the campaizn to restore Harvard's prestige in rowing. There is no sentiment among the Harvard undergraduates for vesting supreme power in the varsity captain. At Yale, when the effort w made to wrest control from the varsity football captain, the student body rebelled. But Harvard has never been brought up ition. The students at want consistent victories in all sports, and they think v to accomplish that that the crew racing is to give the head supreme power, as is done in 1 and other branches football, of athletics in which the Crimson wins over Yale If the b to the hea > s heaval in Harvard rowing circles wil have fallen short of accomplishing its paramount purpose. Jim Wray was fired less than a year after he had been given a raise in salary in order to get a revised system of working order. And now, if the cap- tain of the Harvard crew is to assume me powers that Captain Murray d last year, the new coach, Robert F.

In the diplomatic manoeuvres that fol- low crew question at there is no reason to believe the head coach will be denied the powers that head coaches in the other branches of sport enjoy.

Into an Independent Buffer State Be- tween France and Germany. Amsterdam, Netherland: —The conversion of A into an independent buffer state be- tween France and Germany, possibly joined to the small independént Grand Duchy of Luxemburg that is now in German occupation, is the latest sug- gestion put forward in Dutch socialist circles in an attempt to bridge the deep chasm between the French and German socialist groups, and to en- able the socialists on both belliegerent sides to work with one accord in their respective countries for the attainment of_peace. The Alsace-Lorraine question is the great stumbling block which has hith- erto defeated all attempts of the fam- ous Socialist International to restore harmony and unity among the various naional groups affiliated to it, and the Dutch socialist organ, Het Volg; now puts forward the foregoing as the chief point in a draft of peace terms upon the basis of which, it urges, all social- ists might undertake a campaign in favor of ending the present terrible struggle. Rejecting the idea of the war indem- nity recently referred to in the reich- stag as out of the question, the pro- gram in question sets forth further that Germany shall surrender the ter- ritory she has occupied in the west in return for the restoration of her free sea, which is, says Het Volk, a hundred times more necessary for her national existence, while the Allies shall give her back her lost colonies in exchange for the non-Polish Russian territory in German occupation and the restoration of Serbla and Monte- negro. Russian Poland should, it is proposed, become an Independent state, which is on the one hand what the Russian emperor has promised and on the other would furnish Germans with an important reinforcement of the which so many of them regard as threatened on the Russian side. As regards the Alsace-Lorraine so- lution already mentioned, it is argued that only a defeated Germany _would ever cede this territory to France, while only a crushed France would reconcile itself to Alsace-Lorraine re- maining German. Hence the call for sacather plan. The people of the new , will be handicapped will not be idized job r ago. And Captain Morgan is of course not eager and powers 11 be no fight settle the ques- tion, and in that event the sentiment in favor of giving the head at the very end of the college year now.
