the New York Giants. knows a lot

about baseball. but when it comes
to calling the turn on the Philadel-
phia. he simply "lsn’ t them."

Back in the old days. when bic-
Graw first came to New You: item
the Baltimore club of the American

the league he had just left. MoGraw
delivered himself of the opinion
that Connie Mack had a "white
elephant on his hands."

The Athlc‘tics seized “on his state-
‘ment and began press agenting
themselves as White Elephants.
They even had little white elephants
cut out of flannel and sawed on
their uniforms. White Elephants
they became and white elephants
they remained for many a day.

That was one of the seats when
Connie Mack won a. championship.

What could be more pleasing to
the Athletics. then. then to have
had McGraw dub them a bunch of
white elephants again this spring?

On March 17. down in Sarasota.
Fla. the Giants and the Athletics
came together in a spring training
game. The Giants licked them 5-0
and sent them back to their camp
at Fort Myers sort of heart and
body. ‘ .

McGraw promptly was quoted as
saying that the 1925 Athletics were
a slow. spiritiess collection of
white pachyderms. who would
never get out of the second divi-
slon.

Two days later the Giants drop-
ped in at Fol-tr Myers for a killing.
They got it—on that-averse end of

white elephants that Connie Mack
mburdened with knocked four

Clash of Authority Results in Change 'A
Defeat at Hands of Yale-Rowing C
inittee Objects to His Policy of Havingl
.varslty Crews

PHILADELPHIA. May 21.—
Clash of' authority resulted today in
the' resignation of, Joseph Wright.
for the last nine years head check
of the .University- of Pennsylvania
oarsmen. Jim Rice. assistant to
Wright and for many years head
coach at Columbia University. was
placed in charge and will take the
crews to New York tomorrow for
Saturday's races on the Harlem.

‘John Arthur Brown. Chairman of
the Pennsylvania Rowing Commit-
tee. announced the resignation and
slatc‘dI‘that‘lt was accepted "with
extreme" regret." It: also stated that
Wright "has always given the uni-
versity his best services and has
worked diligently tor the university
success in rowing."

Wright. explaining his resignetion.w
said that he was congratulated upon
his return from Boston even
though the crew had hard luck Iin
losing the race with Harvard by the
breaking of an outlook while Penn-
sylvanla. was in the load; “Then a
few days ago.” said Wright. "Mr.
Brown notified me there should be
some changes in the heavyweight
tarsity.

”Jim Rice and myself talked
things over and agreed upon
changes we thought wouldIhelp‘ the
crews. Capt. MacDonald car'ried a
letter from the Chairman of the
Rowing Committee «suggesting sev-
eral changeabeing made.‘:‘We put
Capt. MacDonald in the Doyle

stroked light varsity crew.
change evidently did not meet
the approval of Mr. Brown a-
sent a. note. carried by MacD
ordering he be put back in t
miset crew. That caused me
sign.

It was said that the towing
mittce did not favor Wright's
of having two varsity crews
stroked by Jack Doyle. Plii
phla. and the other by Don It
Green Bay. Wis. Instead. i-
said. the committee favored
strong crew.

The Doyle crew defe‘ated t
miger eight to determine
