Of Yate years there has been consid- erable agitation against the Hudson course in favor of Lake Cayuga. It is Bo doubt that rowing conditions on the lake would be much fairer than the tricky tides and winds that give advantag to some crews at Poughkeepsie. | First of all the youngsters who #ac- rifice much to represent their college at Poughkeepsie are entitled to an) even chance on the day of the race, cand they generally don't get it. Not all be crews ure so lucky in the draw for positions that they can secure the naide courses, the ones nearest the} shore. Jim Rice and other coacnes have repeatedly stated that they have \eated the Hudson course many times meaus of driftwood, and always Wand “the ‘inside lanes about. three lengths faster than the outsids This simply means that the crews rowing the outside lanes are \ forced to give a big handicap because “og che -the peculiar pranks of tides and This is manifestly unfair, Those who advocate a change to Cay- uga claim that the smooth lake waters and better protection against headwinds would give all the crews an ideal racing condition, Still, on the other hand, Poughkeep- is'many miles near York the opening of the Metropolitan It will be a six- arting May 18, three days The Jockey Club stewards announce ninety-nin racing days for this State. season will close three days earlier ” Bwedes in the World Games at Stock- pom last year unless fall dates are Venue will chan ge fs for Heo, beg days. yy wind up i 4 Rel mont Park sand: jensen will si twee!

Thirty-one bright eyed young and old Yanks start for Macon, Ga., to-morrow, which makes it possible for the first base hit of the year to fall on Washington's Birthday. Of these thirty-one youths probably twenty will wax and grow fat at the big league spring table and then re- turn to the minors from whence they came. Mind you, there is a second squad going down next week consiat- ing of twenty-odd athletes, Out of the entire number Manager Wild Will Donovan must keep twenty-five—and no more. ‘The only regulars in the early squad are Leslie Nunamaker and Walter | Alexander. The Donovan needs all the available back- the spring pitching of the overcrowdea pitching staff, Walters and Schwert, the two younger catchers, will also go along, and if it comes to a pinch Duke Farrell, the veteran coach, will help out. Duke, you know, was catching on championship teams when many ‘of the present fry were in pinafores,|@ Yes, and he can still catch. Donovan has quite a Job on h hands viewing the work of all thes pitchers and he admits that to give them all a thorough trial will be prac- tically impossible. On many he wili have to take snap judgment. PITCHERS WHO LEAVE FOR CAMP TO-MORROW.

Every man on the club knows that he must fight for his job and that the betting odds against him are two to on And it is important to land a job right now. There is no Federal League offering a haven to the dis- appointed and disgruntied. Manager Donovan declared last night that he would make no more trades, and that his spring shopping was absolutely done. He will take a chance on just what he's got. A little er he said he might take Harry Smith, the veteran backstop, along to assist in trying out the swarm of pitchers, but that would be all, ' Within a week Donovan expecta to hape to give the batters some real practice when they arrive, and he will also be able to begin his weed- ing out process much earlier than usual. It is his plan to have each catcher handle four pitchers for two hours every day until they have shown enough to make it worth while putting them in the box against the regulars.
