season.
la truth. It require no great amount
of optlmlstlo aptrlt to regard the Tala
outlook In bright. If not vivid colors. Of
the Qtioque Ineligible La Oore waa the
only real atar. Mllburn waa a good
average second bea man, with a batting
' average of .222 for the aeaaon. Rhett
was a fair substitute third baseman, and
Pumpelly a promising pitcher, who In
1915 had not arrived, whatever he might
have done thla year. Easton waa not
above average. Taking It all In all.

tTndarwood. both of whom pitched last
year, and Garfield and Grant aa recruits
from the freshman line. Watroua was
seen working against the Giants as wall
aa In other gamea last spring, and he
looked extremely good, looked aa though
a year'a seasoning would bring him wall
up to the front In UK. Frank Qulnby,
the former coach, thought well of Un

tha freshman pitchers little la known.
If Watroua escaped tha frown of the
Tale faculty for associating- with the
New Haven Colonial team last summer
and realised the propheriea of those who
liked hi work last year, he will do
great deal for the Ell. For catchers
there are Mudge, Munsrn and Jack Bier

appear to have been overlooked by the
base ball mentors at New Haven ; he cer
tainly played good ball at Hototiklea

fielder and offensively a man who made
a aeaaon batting record of .S4. He is a

YALE STARTSJREW WORK
Coach Nickalli Spring Surprise by
Patting- Edward Harriman at
Stroke on Vanity Eight.
CAPTAIN SETH LOWE AT SEVEN
N EW HAVEN, Conn., March S.-Tale'a
outdoor rowing seaaon has started a fort
night later than usual, but with two
varsity eights of experience and promise
boated by Coach Nickalls.
Opening the aeaaon of 1916 as Tale'a
varsity eight were the following oarsmen:
Stroke. Harriman; No. 7, Low, captain;
No. 6, Meyer: No. 6, Sturtevant; No. 4,
Sheldon; No. S. Kosltsky; No. t. Gllflllan;
bow. Hume: coxswain, McLana.
Nickalls, whose wlsardry haa brought
Tale two atratght victories over Harvard
and wins over Cornell. Princeton and
Pennsylvania, all in ona season, has made
up hla premier eight for the opening of
practice with wholesale changes. Per
haps the most unlooked-for was tha
trial of Edward Roland Harriman at
stroke. Young Harriman was varsity sub
stitute two season ago. but lost a year
from tha squad because of a hunting ac
cident. He rowed bow In tha Tala varsity
that last fall raced Columbia, losing when
Coombs, No. 7, fainted. He was atroke at
the Oroton school and will be retained
for the present in that position on the
Tale varsity.
Ths experiment of using Captain Seth
Low at stroke will not be continued at
present. He will be used at No, 7. He
had slm aye been a starboard oar till he
waa tried at stroke lsst fall. In the
varsity shell laat year he was seated at
No. 3. The veteran Cord Meyer, one of
the beat oarsmen of recent year at Yale,
la again at No. 1 He waa a atroke during
hla preparatory school career and It la
still a possibility that he will be ordered
to set the pace for the eight. The pres
ence of ex-Captain Sturtevant In the
shell at No. 6 Is a pleasure to the veteran
coach, for Bturtevant la a finished as
well as a strong oar.
With Jim Sheldon again at No. 4
Nickalls haa been able to retain four
oarsmen In the waist of the shell who
were together for the last two seasons.
This combination Is a trump card for
the Yale-eight, which will meet Harvard
in June.
KoMtzky and Gilfillan were In the boat
all last fall. Till then their experience
had been confined to freshmen and var
sity substitute work.
Hume, another substitute oar, has been
gtven the bow asnlgnment. With the ex
ception of Harriman and Hume the eight
gives the appearance of a settled combi
nation, and the strong oar pulled by
Harriman makes It likely that he will be
found In one of the two undecided positions.
Lipton's Shamrock
Yacht Still Boxed
in Brooklyn Yard
NCW YORK, Msrch 25. Tho state
ment by Sir Thomas Upton that Ho
hopes to race his yacht Shamrock IV.
for the America's cup next year recalls
to mind the fact that the challenger Is
still carefully boxed and uider sjuard
on the Brooklyn waterfront. .Not for a
moment since Shomrock IV. waa hauled
Into drydock, covered with canvaa and
boxed up late In August. 1914, haa the
Lipton yacht been without a guard and
caretaker.
American yachtsmen know no more
about the lines snd construction of the
challenger than they did when the sloop
appeared off Sandy Hook a few days
after the declaration of war.
There appears to be little chance that
the Shamrock IV. will be uncovered
during the coming season. Reports from
the other side, however, are to the ef
fect that Sir Thomas Is keeping In close
touch with American yachtsmen and will
put his challenger overboard early In the
spring of 1917 if international conditions
warrant the belief that the America's
cup races can be staged.
In the meantime It is expected that
both the Resolute snd Vanltie will l,e
soon in a few racea thla summer In or
der to keep the prospective defenders
In shspe for the yachting classic when
times are more propitious.

verdict of a coroner's Jury in tho case'
of John Murphy, who died Sunday morn
ing a week after being mixed up In a
cutting scrape at Thirty-third and Q
streets. The investigation of the coroner,
lasted more than three hour and a'
dosen witnesses twrrrrted on the stand.
The best that the coroner oould glean;
from the entire affair waa that two'
knives were In play during the fight
and that two men were wounded prob-"
ably by different persons. According to
bed, he waa cut by a man who ran1
fifty feet east on Q atreet and then
disappeared In the darkness. Testifying!
on the witness stand yesterday, Dan Pel-'
lee, who received five dangerous- wounds
In the sides and chest, said that ha
ran In that direction. Pelleo being on
of the two men cut could not have hadi
anything to do with the cutting of
Murphy unless he cut himself.
