consist of Paul Costcllo and Kelly
The relay slnglo race Is something pew
nnd novel for the scullers along the river
but It should prove spectacular as It has
never been tried on tho local rourso be
fore Coach lMdle Marsh, of the Malta Hoat
Club, has been successful In making an
entry In efery event with the exception
of the elght-oared shell race Marsh had nn
eight In training for several nights, but
ho had quite a bit of trouble In keeping the
men together, so he decided to abandon It
Coach Carl Duntli, who has had such a
successful career since handling the crews
at the Undine Barge Club nnd who Is still
an amateur coach, has made entries In
nearly all the events, although n number of
his best scullers are now In active servlco.
Including Kddle Schmldhelser. whom Bunth
would liked to have had on hand to enter In
the senior doubles with Allison George
W. Allison will be pitted against Jack
Kelly In the senior singles. Hinerson Ayers,
the clubs Junior sculler will start In tho
I Junior singles. Mat I.ukens. Yates, Illekey
and Allison will comprise the relay slnglo
team.
Penn Men on Eight
Bunth lias taken particular pains with
his elght-oared shell crew, which Is rowing
exceptionally well, for being together for
such a short time. Ad Woll, who captained
this year's vnrslty crew of tho University
of Pennsylvania, Is rowing No. 3, and Syd
ney Tllden. Carl Glanr and Merele Dur
yea, all of whom rowed with Woll, are
members of tho Undine's crew Hay Wat
rous, who stroked the eight to victory nt
Washington, D. C. last Labor Day, Is again
at stroke. Bunth feels confident that his
crew hnH an even chance with the powerful
crew of tho Vespers nnd tho crew from Al
lentown, nnd Is well satisfied with tho way
tho men have been rowing.
Ed HofCjnan. the slant stroke onr of th
University Hants Club's famous four-oard hHl
crew, will again stroke a four-oared Kls which
the club has entered Hoffman mny also be en
tered In the senior singles.
J. Elliott Newllnx eommodore of the Schuyl

liars Club In the asaoclatton single. Nenlln
ahould be a stronc contender for thla race aa
ho la nn exceptionally faat fltarter. although he
ulll have strong competition against him.
The Pennsylvania Hare Club haa entered Jim
Petit In tho Junior alngleo and will endeavor to
make several other poat entries, which ha
not been definitely decided upon as set.
William McCnrmlck. of tha West Philadelphia

SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
-By LOUIS
JAMHS J. COFFUY, who wai considered
a likely heavyweight until he ran ker
plunk Into tho Mary Ann nf Frank Moran
and then repeated shortly after, Is to get
a third chanco nt the Pittsburgh blond.
Two consecutlvo knockouts are enough to
knock a boxer's name from the memory
of fight fans, and tho Irish heavyweight
has almost been forgotten .18 one of the
many unfortunates clamoring for a crack
at J. Wlllard's crown. Tho Iloscommon,
Giant really Is .1 clover boxer for a big
man ; he nlso carries a hard wallop In each
paw, but as a successful heavyweight his
"paper jaw" deters him greatly. If Coffey
can get by Moran this trip without putting
his ehln In the orbit of one of Moran's
hefty right-handers, James J. probably
would bo the winner. In his previous con
tests with tho Pirato puncher, Coffoy was
leading by a wide margin when a solitary
slam wiped -out Hhamus's entlro score. It
may be that Coffey Is bolng booBtcd for a
match with Fred Fulton, but he must bo
able to go tho limit If this match Is to be
clinched.
THE third Coffey-Moran bout's date
has not been announced. They will
box In the open air In Brooklyn tn
about threo weeks.
TERM McGOVEHN has been matched
for two bouts, and ho expects to keep
going at least two or threo times n month
until tho regular season opens Next Mon
day night McGovern will box at tho Broad
way Club, pitted against Young Joo Borrcll.
McGovern also Is matched with Johnny
Mealy. This contest will bo staged ns a
wind-up to an all-star show between tpn of
Philadelphia's best boxers. Bobby GunnlH
says that flo regular bouts wlJh fighters
of local reputation can be put on nnd Sir
Itobert will endeavor to prove this at the
second open-air show of Shlbe Park.
'
THE Mcaly-McGovern melee will
bring together two of the best right
handed punchers In Philadelphia.
SANDY McNIHLICK, erstwhile golfologlst
of tho Evening Lkdiieii and now nil
dressed up pretty In khaki at the O. H. C .
Fort Niagara, N. Y., writes that he ate at
opposite tables with Soldier Bartfleld In
Buffalo a few days ago. "Bartfleld," pens
Sandy, "had a black eye and a fondness for
prunes. Ho eats from tho neck up nnd
holds his guard high, keeping both elbows
well nbovo tho head, and spits out the
seeds." Also writes young Mr. McNIbllck:
"Wo have boxing bouts at the barracks
ecry night after study hours. I have been
prudent so far nnd wavo the towel shout
ing the old 'use the ropes' stuff. But I
will be a contestant this week In a battle
royal between squad No. 2 of our company
and the rest of the battery."

COBB AND STUFFY
CONTINUE TO HIT
Ty Passes Thirty Mark and
Mclnnis Equals Record
of Seventeen Straight
FOUR HITS FOR BAKER
Ty and Stuffy still are the heroes.
Six years ago yesterday Tyrus Raymond
Cobb fell down after consecutively hitting
In forty straight games during the season '
of 1011, the year he batted .420. his highest
mark In eleven years of continued baseball
success. July 2, 1917, might have proved
a hoodoo for the fleorgla peach, but he
came through with a double and single, and
has to date hit consecutively In thirty-one
regular American League box scores.
Out nt Shlbe Tark, Stuffy "Jack" Mc
Inn!, first baseman extraordinary, was
singing a little elimination contest of his
own. Stuffy was trying to duplicate his
mark of seventeen straight, made earlier
In tho present season. Tho hlta In both
games of the double-header on Saturday
gave him a mark of sixteen straight, and,
previous to the ninth Inning, when Stuffy
wns fortunate enough to bat third In this
session his only chance to bat the way
Bert Gallia was serving 'em up he
trounced out a triple that sent Menoskey
and Milan chasing deep Into center for" the
ball Stuffy stopped at third, and as the
faithful seemed satisfied Oallla forced
Schang to send n liner to Menoskey that left
Mclnnis that much nearer the showers.
Stuffy had his hit, nnd the game nt Boston
mny see him equal his duplicate seventeen.
Ernie Shore, the big twlrler of the Hall
of Fame ranks for the current year, started
the Boston-New York American League
game, but darkness stopped the pastime In
the eleventh inning with the score 4 to 4.
Frank Baker had a good day three sin lies,
a double, stolen base and handled both
chances perfectly. S
Mr. Speaker, of Cleveland, has been a
bit neglected recently, but It Is the old
story of the winner receiving the spoils.
However, while the Indians were losing a
perfectly good box score to the 'White Sox,
the Texan clouted out a double and two
singles.
Heinle the Zlm had something to do
with the Giants winning from the Braves.
Zimmerman led the New York attack,
scored three runs, drove In a pair and
averaged two doubles and a single. Benny
Kauff, Fletcher, Herzog and Barlden each
had two hits.
Fourteen hits were totaled by the Dodgers
In beating the home-coming Phils. Myers,
at first, had three;' Stengel, Smith and Mil
ler had a pair, while every member of. the
team hit except Olson.
