WARD, NOTED 4 OARSMAN IS DEAD . Philadelphia, Aug. 25—Ellis F. Ward internationally ‘kmown as a rowing coach, died today from paralysis, with which he was stricken three months ago. He was 77 years old and until his retirement in 1913, had been coach of the ' University of Pennsylvania crews nearly thirty five -years. Mr, Ward, one of nine brothers, all- famous as oarsmen, was considered one of the leading factors in the de- velopment of rowing. He not only was finished sculler, many of his original ideas hraving been adopted by colleges and clubs, throughout the world. Born in Newburgh, N. Y, in 1845, Mr. Ward became famous as an oars- man before he reached his majority, In 1868, which marked the beginning of intercollegiate rowing in Ameri- ca on an extensive scale, Harvard en- tered a six-oared crew in the Boston citizen’s regatta, and invited the Ward brothers to meet them. There were five Wards in the boat and one out- sider, George Ward. having been de- tained by an accident. ‘The Wards won and followed with victories at Lake Quinsigamond and at Worcester, Mass, both _at three miles and in 1871 Bilis Ward and three of his brothers won the world's championship .for four miles with a turn ‘at Saratoga Lake. In doing so ‘they established a record of 24 min- utes, 40 seconds, .which still stands. They defeated two English and three American crews. The crew was un- defeated up to the time Ward assum- ed his duties at coach at Pennsylva- nia. BIG INTERNATIONAL POLO , TOURNEY STARTS TODAY New York.

DANNY MURPHY GIVEN CREDIT FOR PERKINS AND GALLOWAY The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin gives Danny Murphy of Norwich the credit of developing Perkins and Gal- loway into-shifty hitters. The article is, as follows: “Danny Murphy is_responsible for the local American League Chapter of_Shifters. You have often noticed Perkins pull ! back his Tight foot, just as the pitch- er winds up to deliver one. This move changes his stance at the plate. A pitch that would be too far inside for him to hit squarely becomes just right to hit after that.foot goes back. Galloway follows the same system, and both of them follow Dan Mur- phy. Everybody can’t do it. A lot of | batters are thrown completely off bal- | ance when they try the trick. Eddie Foster.now third basing for the Browns is credited with being the cleverest in -either league at_foot-| shifting, Art Fletcher of the Phillies is another adept. He and Perkins take about the biggest steps in their shift- ing. Heinie Groh, of the Giants, is an- | other talented member of the order.| Pretty nearly every player has tried this stunt at one time or another, but few get very clever about it. The| timely thumps of Perkins in the pres- ent series were made by the shifting of the left foot, a stunt not so notice- able because a battery naturally steps forwards to the pitcher with his front foot, and a deviation from the straight | and narrow batter’s box is not so no-| ticeable in that direction as it is when performed with the rear foot. Perk stepped away from the plate with his left foot for that home run yesterday, an Williams, wso was play- ing over near centre field never got near enough to the ball to pass the Thus a science rearing its shagzy head in a year given over to fence- busting and polysyllabic scores. A year in whicn ground balls are usual- ly past the infielders before the lat- ter get time to shift feet.” ONE MORE ENTRY FOR THE THREE-MILE RACE Hal Chase of Jewett City, who is directing the athletic program at the Norwich Fair has received one more entry for the three-mile race, for which the Norwich Chamber of Com- merce is offering a beautiful silver cup. The latest entry is George Johnson of Montville who has quite a rep as a distance runner. Entries for the various events are coming in daily and Chase wishes to impress the prospective entrants that the sooner the entries are in the bet- ter. There is no entrance fee charged, a line to Chase or a telephone call to Jewett City 100 is all that is neces- sary. .

The Hardigs' manager arranged a date with the Daredevils and went to Taftville on that date and the Dare- devils failed to appear after the Har: digs waited over an hour and some men from Taftville picked up a scrub team the team averaging from 14 to about 34 and we were defeated by a score of 9 to 8 in 13 innings, but not by the Daredevils.
