BY LEON M. SILER.

NEW YORK. June :i.—-You find
the name “Cohen" in the lineup of
the New York Giants from time to
time these days, and it isn't a ty po-
graphicai error.

It's the rugged. pungent. pulsating
answer to a fervent Irish prayer.

The w rer of it is Andrew How-
ard Co . He has a face just like
the great open spaces from which

0 came.

Among his other possessions are
lite; feet eight and a halt inches of
height, 155 pounds of weight and
some three months of professional
baseball experience.

That's meager equipment for a
New York Giant, in a way. But he
of the solid and substantial Hebraic
cognomen graced the Giant bench
only for a matter of hours before he
busted into the real show.

That's how glad the Irish John J.
'McGraw was that his prayer at last
had produced something resembling
providential response. ,

There's a long story back at it.
Almost as long as the years McGraw
has guided the Giants' destinies. But
it can be told in few words.

.sesrch the Bronx. the East side
and sundry other portions of Gotham
and you will discover a million or
more actual, or potential baseball
fans in whose veins flows the blood
of Abraham. lease and Jacob.

EHMKE TOOK PASTING
FROM HIS OLD CLUB

Howard Ehmke of the Athletics
recently acquired tram the Red 80!.
made anything but an auspicious
start for his new club. He was sent
in against his old teammates the
other day and all they did was to
comb Howard's offerings for seven

 

"hits and a cluster of runs in a little

more than three innings. The Macks
dually won out. however. so Ehmko
wasn’t charged with a defeat.

The Irish" acumen of John life-V

Graw sensed the presence of this
million long. long ago.

In every minor league and on
every sandlot he sought for them--
a Jewish Giant star.

Bennie Kauft came to cause ro-
joielns’ in McGraw's heart for awhile.
But because of certain idiosyncrasies,
Bennie failed to lost.

This Cohen. 23 years of age and
neat both at bat and on the bass
lines. is his successor.

Twenty thousand dollars and an-
other player was his price. A
"clever business stroke," the New
York sport critics‘called it. The
"twenty grand" will come back in
two or e weeks they haurded.
if Cohen makes good

The sondlots of El Peso, Tex. gave
“Andy" his start. Then these sand-
lots.‘ none is sandier. Geographical
phenom_ a worked with inheritance
to fit An well for the part in the
McGrsw scheme of things he was to
play

Away back yonder Andy‘s daddy
and John MoGrsw played baseball
together on the Baltimore Orioles.

"My dad played under another
name than Cohen though, I think."
smiles Andy. “Jewish baseball play-
ers weren’t in demand then."

Andy specialized in basketball and
football as well as baseball when he
went to high school in El Paso.
Twice he piloted his high school has-

 

ketball fives to state championships.

Then he. went to Alabama Univer-
city for three years. A crock man
on the diamond there. he signed up
last season with Waco of the Texas
League. Joining that team in June.

McGraw bought him on the
strength of .813 batting and .340
fielding averages in 106 games. and
recently sent him a hurry call to
report to New York.

Its history now how Cohen. sent
to bat for Frankie ‘Frisch in the
ninth inning of his first game with
the Giants delivered a single with
a man on third base, and how a
few minutes later the first colorful
“Cohen to Kelly" puiout was regis-
tered with Andy functioning at sec-
end.

They spin out Andy's lifo history
with eclat and embroidery around
New York now: how his Mangavo
him a licking the first time he ever
minced 0. dcsire to play baseball.
how his kid brother Sidney. is set-
ting a ‘fast pace for Fort' Bayard.
New Mexico. in the Copper League.
nnd how Andy doesn’t smoke drink,
chow or swear and goes to bed reg-
ularly at 10: 80 pm

"The. big show? i like it fine."
contributes the subject matter of all
this agitation—

This Andrew Howard Cohen. of
the long awaited "Cohen to Kelly"
combine. the answer to an Irish-
man's prayer.

YALE VARSITY
BEATS HARVARD
IN REGATlA

Blue Outclasses Crimson
Eight On Thames River
Before 70,000 People.

The big Blue parade continued its
march of triumph last evening when
l’nlc's varsity crew. for the sixth con-
scculive year defeat the varsity eight
of Harvard over the famous Thames
rher course before a crowd of
70.000 persons.

Harvard did a little better in yes-
terday‘s contest that it has in recent
years. but the crew was unquestion-
ably outclassed and never really had
a chalice. The boys from lied Top
rowed a gallant race and forced the
Ella to break lhc up stream record
in order to finish a little more than
two lengths in front.

The times were Yale 30:141-5:
Harvard 20:21 3-0. There was some
balm for Crimson roosters in the
freshman and junior varsity races.
both of which were won by Hanard
crews that turned in surprisingly im-
pressive performances.

The freshman and junior varsity
contests \vere rowed in the morn-
ing. The varsity event was scheduled
to start at 7 o'clock. daylight sav-
ing time. but it
inlcr than that when llcfercc Hilly
liicikicham. of Columbia. finally
sent the two shells on their way.

The tundiliuns under which file
race “'3 rmvcrl could hardly have
been be er. The surface of the
Thames resembled a mill pond in
mid-August. There was scarccly a
ripple when the two elghts dug in
theirs oars for the first violent pull.
The race was rowed on a flood tide
and the crews had a gentle follow-
ing breeze.

BUD GORMAN
FOULS SHARKEY

BOSTON. June 26. —Ja.ck Shar-
kc). of Brighton. heavyweight
champion of New England. was
given the decision on a foul in the
first round of a ten-round bout mill
Bud Gorman. of Kenosha, Wis. at
llmvcs Field. last night. Although
German apologized to Sharkcy' for
a low blow which staggered the
Brighton Boy, the lntter's friends
in the audience not up a series of

‘ _;eers and hisscs until German was

escorted out of the ring by two po-
llccmeu.

The bout came to an abrupt close
after about ten seconds of fight-
ing. “henr Go: man hit a blow which
caused Silarkey to fall to his knees.
After staggering around the ring
and catching hold of the referee to
brace himself, Sharkey suddonly
collapsed and had to be carried to
his corner.

Gorman walked over to Shnrkoy's
corner and offered an apology. after
the decision was given to Sharkey.

In the preliminaries Ilarrk Souk.
of Springfield. was given a decision
over Babe McCogary. of Calgary,
