The first series of »games between the eastern and western clubs in the east will be brought to an end tomorrow. Out of 95 games the easterrt! clubs have won 63 and lost 32. When the clubs came east Pittsburg, Cimcinnati,-Chicago and Cleve- land were in the lead.in the order named, with Philadelphia and New York tied for fifth place, with a perfentage of .524 each, and Boston and Baltimore on even terms for seventh place, With a percentage of .500 each. Since then'the standing of the clubs has been greatly; altered and eastern clubs today occupy two of the leading positions. Pea Boston and Baltimore have done the best work. The former by winning thirteen out of fifteen games has advanced from sev- enth to first place, and Baltimore, by se- curing twelve victories out of | sixteen games, has jumped from seventh to second place. Washington succeeded in passing St. Louis by securing ten victories to five defeats, and has a tight hold on tei place. Cleveland held on to fourth posi tion, although dropping in percentage from .621 to .591, while Brooklyn, although win- ning eleven out of sixteen games and gain- ing in percentage from .384 to .500, could not gain any better rank. Outside of Louisville, which still has a cinch on last place, the other clubs took a tumble. Pittsburg fell from first to third in position and from .714 to .600 in per- from second to sixth to .535, respectively, and Chi- cago from third to fifth and from .633 to .556, respectively. Philadelphia won eight out of sixteen games from the eastern clubs, a worse record than was made by any of the other home clubs, but by win- ning a game from New York on May 29, one day after the inter-section seri the east was begun, managed to improve in percentage from .520 to .524, although dropping from fifth to seventh place. New York also dropped two notches in the race and six points in percentage. UMPIRE MURRAY EXPLAINS. and from « Why He Decided Donovan Out at Brooklyn. Umpire Miah Murray has explained how Griftin of the Brooklyns recently caught him napping, and caused him to give a wrong decision Tegarding Donovan of the Pittsburgs. Says he: “It was in the game between Brooklyn and Pittsburg which Pittsburg protested on account of my decisio: You will re- member that, with Donovan on second base, I called time on account of rain. When piay was resumed Donovan waiked directly back to second base without touch- ing first base. Griffin, who had been por- ing over the book of rules during the in- termission, touched Donovan with the ball as he stood upon the bag and then started toward me. As soon as I saw him coming I knew that I was up against something new. “Griffin showed me rule 50, section 13, which says that a base runner is out ‘it when forced to return to a base he fails to touch the intervening base.’ I knew at the lime that this was not right and felt that there was another rule somewhere in the book covering the point. I had no time to look for it, though, and gave the decision according to Griftin’s rule, at the same time telling Beckley to protest the game. On the way from the nds I looked over the book and found that my decision had been wrong. The very next section, which happened to be on the next page, was the one that Griffin ought 'to have shown me, but didn’t. This sayS'that the base runner, when play is resumed ‘afte ne has been called, ‘must touch, the, bu. ne occupied before touching thesnext base.’ “I immediately wrote to President Young, telling him that I was wrong in giving the decision the way I dia, and supporting Pittsburg’s protest. ‘The decision had noth- ing to do with the regult of the game, however, for there ;were two out at the time, and the next ‘man fied out. Ulti- mately Pittsburg was badly beaten, I sup- pose this is why the nutional board post- poned action on thé protest till the next meeting.” ‘ LAZZARONE |THE WINNER. ~ An Outsider Captures the Suburban Handicap. Lazzarone won the Suburban Handicap Saturday at Sheepshead Bay at a mile and a quarter in 2 5. Hamilton rode him at 115 pounds. Sir Walter (Doggett, 126 pctunds, toy weight,) was second; Song and Dance, an outsider, with Griffin up at 99 pounds, was third; Domino, with Taral at 123, the betting favorite, wes fourth, and Rubicon and Declare also ran. Declare led at the start, but Song and Dance soon tock the lead and led to the five-furlong pole, when Sir Walter went to the frout, Domino remaining third in easy striking distance of the leader. At the three-quarters Domino took second place, Rubicon having moved up ahead of Song and Dance... Then Lazzarone was sent out. He cut down Declare and then Song and Dance, and got into fourth place at the seven-eighths pole. Rubicon was only a neck in front of him, Domino only a head further’away, while Doggett was working on Sir Walter, two lengths in front of ali. “Sir Walter wins,” was the cry. “Look at Lazzarone!” was the alarm down the stretch. He was coming after Sir Walter like a whirlwind, and poor Domino was tow completely used up. Laz- zarone teft him as if he were standing still. Lazzarcne passed the wire a length and a- half in front of Sir Waiter, and in the last few jumps Song and Dance took third place. ENCOURAGING CORNELL. An Expert Pronounces the Crew the Best of Any From America. The rowing expert of London, “Vanity Fair,” in an article commenting on the performance of the Cornell crew, now in England, and which has already rowed Within four seconds of the English record, says: “The Cornell men have a capital and very elastic recovery, which many of the British crews would do well to imitate. Their bodies work squarely, their backs are straight, and there is no slouching at the finish of their stroke. If they had more length of reach and made more use of their bodies for a swing, they would be very for- midable; but unless they are cast in a stronger mold than former American crews that have visited England they will fall off greatly when thelr piston action slide be- comes weak. The Columbia four which won the visitors’ cup in 1878 rowed a longer stroke than any of their American competitors before or since, yet even they were short in respect of swing. The weak point of the Harvard four which came over in 1869 was their want of recovery, which, however, is the least of the faults of the Cornell crew. In the meantime, it is suffi- cient to say that the Cornell men give bet- ter promise of speed and staying qualities than any American crew that has visited Englan It is singular that no eomparison is made with the four sent by Cornell to Henley in 18sl, and which rowed the Thames and London Rowing clubs, which the Columbias failed to meet. The Cornells lapped these two famous crews In a race from Putney to Hammersmith bridge. THE DEFENDER'S MEASUREMENTS. Bon of Secrecy Hus at Last Been Re- moved. The ban of secrecy'haS been removed and the exact dimensions of the new American cup defender are for the first time made public. They are ag foflows: Length over all, from extreme Howto the outer edge of the taffrail, as Measured with a steal tape line, 122 feet 8 inches, or 5 feet 4 inches shorter than the over-all length of the Vigilant; load-water line, 89 feet 11 inches, beam, 23 feet 13-4 inches; freeboard from water line to top of rail, 4 feet 3 inches; sheer, 1 foot 6 inches. The draught has not been fully ascertained as yet, but will come very close to 18 feet 11 inches. As can be seen by these figures, the over- hangs are not near as long as those of the Vigilant. The idea of having such a short over-all length compared with the water- line length was an afterthought. The question of having the after ends pulled out Into a very small stern piece like the pattern of the Vigilant was at first considered, but when it was deemed best to have a large stern piece the length over all was consequently cut down. The figures of the beam are in line with the statement of Mr. Iselin a short time ago, when he said that the beam would measure earer to twenty-three feet than to twenty-four feet. Instead of the after end of the water line being close to the top of thé rndder, as in the case with the Vigilant, it runs out beyond it over ten feet ~ Judging from these figures, the stern must certainly. bear a strong resemblance to the 20-raters, Isolde and Niagara, with, of course, a larger form at that end, to correspond with the other part of the hull. The Defender will probably be launched about June 20. THE SUBURBAN SCANDAL. Stewards of the Jockey Club Begin an Ivcuiry Into Lazznrone’s Running. The stewards of the Coney Island Jockey Club held a meeting immediately after the last race at Sheepshead Bay Saturday and summoned before them Messrs. Beard and Donohue, owner and trainer of Lazzarone, the suburban winner, to explain the run- nirg of the horse in his previous races as compared with his latest performance. Jockey Murphy, who rode Lazzarone in his previous races, not being present a decision in the matter was reserved until | his statement can be obtained. POLO P ICE. ¢ A Lively Scrimmages Between Expert Players at Chevy Chase. The game of polo which was to have been played at Chevy Chase Saturday be- tween mixed teams of Fort Myer troopers and club men did not take place owing to the absence of some of the players. The large crowd of spectators were enter- tained, however, by practice play, which | resultcd in interesting contests. The long grass interfered with the work to a con- siderable degree. In the first interval Mr. Harry Earle played against Lieut. Short and Mr. Lewis Earle, and owing to his better mount won the goal in five min- utes. Mr. Harry Earle was reinforced by Mr. Lindsley during the second inter playing against the other two, and they made goal in six and a half minutes. The brothers Earle played egainst Mr. Lindsley ard Lieut. Short in the last period and won in three minutes and a half. During the last period Mr. Lewis Earle, while making a rush, was struck in the head by the bit of Lieut. Earle’s horse, and painfully hurt. The game that was to have been played Saturday will take place Saturday next. CORNELL AND HARVARD. Comments on the Recent Athletic Con- tests Agreement. A prominent faculty member of the Cor- nell Athletic Council said to a representa- tive of the Associated Press: “The step we have taken is upon Harvard's motion and is the result of prolonged negotiations between the two councils. In behalf of our council, I would say that the new ar- rangement will in no wise interfere with the existing relations with the University of Pennsylvania either in athletics or aquatics. I myself believe that the agree- ment will be of incalculable benefit to both the universities from more than an athletic point of view, and will strengthen the friendly relations that Cornell and Har- vard bear for one another as an outcome of their foot ball game. As to Yale, I be- lieve that her old conservative spirit and exclusiveness,as shown particularly against Cornell, will have to give way to a true sportmanslike recognition of the latter's merits.” 5 ‘The news of Harvard's agreement oc- casioned much surprise in New Haven Yale's leading athletic lights are in doubt as to whether or not this is a forerunner of the severance of relations between the blue and the crimson. Many -students think that sinc2 Yale will not meet Harvard on the gridiron this fall the latter intends to retallate by refusing to meet-the former in base ball and in rowing. There was quite a stir in Cambridge when Prof. Ames announced that Cornell had accepted Harvard's proposition. Nearly every one who heard the news thought it must have some bearing.on Harvard's athletic relations with Yale and Sossibly indicated that all dealings with the New Haven college had come to an end. The athletic committeemen would not commit themseives on this point, but it is under- stood that there is no intention of making a league with Cornell that will be at all exclusive of other colleges.

James Galvin, formerly the famous pitch- er of the F:ttsburg club, has been appoi.it- ed a league umpire by President: Young. The many inquiries as to the age of An- son have caused the Grand Old Man to de- clare himself. He says he is forty-three years old. Next to him the man in the league who withstood the advance of time best is Jack Glesscock. Hutchison’s poor control on Saturday gave Wastington the game in the ninth in- ning, when five runs were made. Maul was very effective for the home club. Ewing has a dislocated thumb, which in- terferes badly with his batting and field- ing. The defeat of Yale by Williams and the victory of Dartmouth over Amherst on Saturday gives the tri-collegiate champion- ship to Williams, no matter what the re- suits of the remaining games may be. Shortstop Peebles, late of Montgomery, has been signed by Louisville. Shugart will return to center field, Preston to right and Collins will be kept’ at third, his old position. Boswell was miserably w!'a in New York on Saturday and afforded Cincinnati an easy victory. The ex-collegian gave twelve bases on balls and his slow delivery al- lowed fifteen bases to be stolen. Parrott pitched well for the westersers. Capt. Arson has publicly expressed him- self a8 opposed to the senseless wrangling and kicking on the part of the player. He declares that the umpire should suppress it. He is right. We can stand bad deci sions, but not the continual protest some players are inclined to indulge in. New Bicycle Records. The road records committee of the Cen- tury Road Club of America has accepted the claims of A. A. Hansen of Minneapolis for the following records: 100 miles in Gh, and 25m., made April 16, 1 200 miles in 18h. and 9m., made April 18, 18%: These are Minfesota state records. Minne- apolis to St. Cloud and return, 1£h. and 58m., made April 18, 1895; distance, 148 miles; previous record was’ 13h. and : and made by same party. Hansen is the long-distance champion of America. Last year he rode over 22,000 miles. _ In the fall he will try for the world’s 24-hour track record, now held by Frank Shoreland of England. F, Ed. Spooner and Frank Waller at different times held this record, but the English and French have had it for some time. It is Hansen's ambition to bring It back to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Those who know him best say he is likely to succeed, although he will have to cover more than 460 miles. 4 Cornell's Henley Crew. Coach Charles E.
