Mack's quick notion in attempting
to patch lllt‘ hole at first base creat-
ed “'lll‘l) .llunscr broke his knee, may
hold the Philadelphia Athletics in
the first ulllifllrnn this season. Poole
of Portland, Urn. has been pushed
into the gap and it‘ llnuscr's knee

better than a novice. Meantime. the.
Athletics. like three or four other
major lulgllu clubs. “ill be digging
into the. minors in search of high
class first base material.
Brooklyn was urged to take Poole
on some time ago. not so much be-
cause ll‘ournier cannot \vnllop the
ball as because he is acquiring a
growth of feet which is handicap-
ulm; his speed. But. Brooklyn‘puzed
Poole up. probably figuring that the
first base question could be let go
one more your. anyhow.
Cincinnati also was urged to’gel
Poole and there are some Cincin-
natians \v ho think Jack Hendricks
turned down a good chance when he
passed up Poole for Brcssler. the
outfielder whom he is trying to
convert. into a first baseman. Which,
by the way. is something that has
mot been done successfully very oft-
en.
Pittsburgh also was urged in
some quarters to acquire Poole. in
addition to fNiehaus, in order that.
the team might be doubly fortified
at first. *Nichaus is coming along
finely, but. the ill luck that. has been
pursuing Pittsburg as Well as other
teams, has develoned a slight in.
jury to Nichaus which may retard
his speed at the start. when he
needs it so much.

That will give the best line on Poole.

of fighting grounder-3. Guiato out-

If Poole makes good and if Haus-

Panvo Nurmi whose flying feet.
and flying trips around the country
have made athletic history this win-
ter. will have a. rest. Nurml was yes-
terday notified at his suspension by
the \Vestern Association of the Am-
ateur Union for his failure to com-
pete in Kansas City‘ last night. Nur-
mi. together with Willie Ritola. and
\Villie Plant. the champion wall-Ker.
had entered a. meet under the
auspices of the Kansas City A. C.
Nurmi was scheduled to leave
New York Saturday night with Plant
and Riloln. Ho notified Secretary
Rublen. of the A. A. 1].. that he was
suffering from a: severe cold and
would be unable to make the trip.
When the news of Nurmi‘s condi-
tion was wired to Kansas City the
meet was immediately called off and
Plant and Ritola, who were accom-
panied by Hugo Quiet. Nurmi's ad-
viser and interpreter. were instruct-
ed to return to New York.
' The action of the \‘Vestern body
means that Paavo cannot engage in
any sanctioned meets until his case
is heard by the national registra-
tion committee. He cancelled his
entry in a meet in Minneapolis
Thursday night. and in the event: at
St. Paul Friday night. Nurmi was
also scheduled to run in the Loyola.
University relay Sunday night and
this also has been called off. Nurml'a
action in withdrawing from those
meets took place before he was no-
tified of his suspension by the West-
crn body.
The Phantom Finn may be com—
pelled to give up his plans of an in-
vasion of the Pacific Coast. where
he was planning to run in San
Francisco and Les Anzeles. Pending
the action of the “'cstern A. A. U..
which is investigating the case. Nur-
ml will be forced to remain in idle-
ness. He will undoubtedly appeal the
case if the decision of the Western-
.era is against him. Then he can be
granted a hearing by the national
registration committee' of the A. A.
Nurml is said to have contracted
the cold with which he is suffering
during a recent meet in Ottawa.
Canada. Instead of calling off his
engagement: following the Ottawa
meet. he competed in Detroit on
April 6 and 7 after an allday train
ride on April In Detroit he was
compelled to submit to 8- long wait
in his track costume while other
events were run off and was asked
to permit local doctors to examine
him 'in he interests of scientific re-
search after the meet was over.
lie was advised to remain in De-
troit until the cold had been broken
up and Hugo Quist joined with the
doctors in gixlng this advice. At the
last. minute. however. Nurmi chang~
ed his mind and by rushing across
town succeeded in catching the train
on which Quiet and the other mem—
bers of the Eastern party wore rid:
lug. ' .
Secretary Rubicn stated that he
expected the matter to be settled one
way or the other. by the \Vestcm
body by Friday at the latest. If
Nurml is exonerated by the com-
mittee and his cold is better. he will
probably hurry to Chicago fer the
Loyola. meet. Qulst la in the Windy

NEW YORK, April 15min view
of “'ashlnxton'S‘ fifteen length vic-
tory over California. on the Oakland
Estuary Saturday 1L glance at the
aquatic history of the University on
Lake “Washington may l:c regarded
as quite in order.
The Huskies appear first to have
organized a. crew for intercollegiate
rowing twenty-two years ago, 1903.
when they met. the James Bay jun-
ior crew at Victoria and won. Itcs-
ing enthusiasm was definitely cs-
tablished later when California‘s
sweep swingers came to Seattle and
were defeated.
Next. year California obtained re-
venge at. Oakland 3 .d the same
year at Seattle California repeated
with the Portland Rowing Club
crew second. The James Bay sen-
ior eight also defeated the Huskies
at. Victoria. 0
In 1905 there was a lot of racir.
on the Pacific Coast. California. beat
Washington on the Oakland Estu-
ary: \Vuhmgton defeated Stanford
ct Sausolito. “‘ashington outrowed
the James Bay senior crew at We.
toria. and in a triangular race
among crews of California, Stanford
and “’ashington at Seattle. Califor-
nia. was fixst. Stanford second. and
Washington third.
In 1906 there were no regatta-
because of the San Francisco earth-
quake. Hiram Connlbear. who had
been a. trainer for a. big league
baseball team and had never swung
a. sweep. came to the Seattle unl-
verslty in 1907 and began to lay
the foundation of a. rowing system
which eventually bearing fruit has
made of Washington -one of the
leading rowing institutions in the
country. _
The record from that year, 1907.
to the present. time follows:
