ENGLISH OARS DISCARDED (Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press.) HENLEY, England, July 1.—The near ap- proach of the days set apart for the Royal Henley regatta, July 7, 8 and 9, is increas- ing the already great interest manifested in the gallant young Americans who are go- ing to uphold the traditions of Yale on the Thames. From the first moment of their appearance here up to the present they have steadily improved in form, and have just as surely deservedly won the approba- tion of the press and public. On all sides the New Haven oarsmen are classed as thorough gentlemen and sportsmen of the first water. Consequently, however strong may be the desire among Englishmen to see the Grand Challenge cup successfully defended by a home crew, nobody will be- grudge the Yale boys the victory if they defeat the crack crews of Britain, and their triumph is certain to be greeted almost as enthusiastically as if Leander or New Col- lege turn out to be the winners. The utmost good feeling prevails on all sides, the cup of good-fellowship is over- flowing, and when the rival crews measure cars Tuesday next, it will be in healthy, honest rivalry, with no tinge of bitterness on either side. The withdrawal of the Eton school boys having been gracefully brought about, there will be no necessity for rowing a trial heat for the Grand July 6, and the ‘irst contest for that trophy will, therefore, occur on the day following. A change for the better in many respects was made in the Yale boat today. The English oars have been tried and found not adapted to the Yale crew. As a result they have been discarded and American oars will carry the-sons of old Eli to victory or de- feat. There is no cocksureness about the crew or their friends; but they will row their best, and are in the pink of condition. Bob Cook Appears Despondent. That is about the situation of affairs from the American standpoint, although ‘Bob’ Cook appears to look gloomy, shakes his head somewhat despondingly and intimates that he is not satisfied with the work of his pupils. But “Bob Cook has been known to do the same thing many a time before and then have his crew walk away from their opponents to the great dismay of the latter. In fact, the throwing of cold water upon the chances of Yale’s crew 1s in some quarters looked upon as being an old trick of the master coach; so, not much importance is attached to his cloudy fore- bodings. Everybody about the Yale head- quarters hopes for the best, and few peo- ple would be astonished to see the dark blue of Yale driven to victory on the ‘Thames. Mr. Cook has not been too proud to try everything in the English style of rowing which looked likely to be advantageous to Yale, and this policy, instead of being sneered at, has met with the heartlest ap- proval from the oarsmen and critics of England. The Trinity (Cambridge) people have been Particularly courteous to the Americans. J. B. Close, the coach of that college's first crew, has done everything possible to as- sist Mr. Cook in his work, and when Clarke, the coxswain of the Yale boat, was under the weather, the coxswain of first Trinity took his place, and thus added to the good feeling existing at Henley. Best Time Yet Made. “Bob” Cook this morning was out on horseback, and put the Yale men over the second half of the course in 3:25 with a thirty-eight stroke. This is the best time yet made, and it has done much to give confidence to the Americans and their sup- porters. The New College crew did the same dis- tance in the same time a few days ago, but under better conditions. There was a strong wind off the Bucks shore this morning, and a heavy fog made matters still more uncomfortable, but the Yale boys were out for early practice. They were compelled, however, to wait until 11 o'clock for the ends of their slides to be lowered and placed at the angle they occupied previous to trying the English style of even slide. The men then did some short stretches above the bridge with the old oars ard slides in regular position and Pronounced themselves as being better sat- isfied. Mr. Cook during this preliminary work coached the crew from a pair-oar, and seemed better satisfied than for some days past. Clarke Recovers. Clarke, the American coxswain, was well enough to be in the Yale boat, and han- dled the rudder rcpes admirably, in spite of the fact that he was all muffled up. Leander did the course in 7.10, covering the first half in 3.31 with a 38 stroke, but the members of the crew were exhausted at the finish. Trinity, rowing short stretches against the second crew of that college, and with the latter very close, did the course in New College made a record over the min- ute barrier, going 127 feet beyond. Leander and New College are looked up- on as Yale's strongest rivals, and the lat- ee it is admitted, will take a lot of beat- ing. Trinity Hall, with five members of the crew which beat Cornell, may also be look- ed upon as certain to put up a good race, and so the contest for the Grand may be said to have narrowed down to Yale, Lean- der, New and Trinity Hall. Nearly one-half of the seats of the grand stand near the finish have been turned over to the Americans for the accommoda- tion of their friends, and it was the desire to have as many as possible of them pres- ent, which, com ined with other reasons, prompted the Henley regatta people to bring about the withdrawal of the Eton School boys. Had they not done so, the first trial heats would have been rowed Monday next, and many people from across the Atlantic, Yale men especially, might have had the pleasure of seeing Yale win her first heat. Praise for Yale. LONDON, July 1—The Star's Henley correspondent telegraphs: “The Yale men look fit to row for a kingdom, but they are not yet good enough to win the Grand, al- though they have plenty of time to im- Prove. The Leanders are a less powerful crew than in 1895, nevertheless they will take a lot of beating.” The Evening News correspondent at Hen- ley says: “Nobody can speak too well for the Yale men. They are hardly likly to win, but they are certain to give a good account of themselves.” YALE MUST TAKE A BIG BRACE. ‘The Blue’s Spim Last Night Proved Disappointing. A special cable dispatch to the Philadel- phia Press from Ralph D. Patne, who is with the Yale crew at Henley, Eng., says: Yale is not going fast enough to win three successive heats for the Grand Chal- lenge Cup, and today’s falling off is hard to explain. It may, perhaps, be laid to the English oars, but Cook does not think so, as his faith in the effectiveness of the new blades is still unshaken. The Yale boat looked pretty and was run- ning as smooth as an eight-day clock, but the drive was not present and the shell YOUR FAMILY WILL SOON LEAVE FOR THEIR SUMMER OUTING.

AND 4% ST. failed to show a speed to beat her rivals on the Thames. While Yale has held her cwn, Leander, New and Trinity Hall are going faster, apparently. Cook said tonight that he could not ex- plain the reason for Yale’s slow time and was much depressed. The reason for all this was Yale’s row over the course tonight, when they did the full course in 7 minutes 26 seconds with a fairly strong side wind. The watch of Lehman, the Leander coach, showed 7 minutes 17 seconds, but this is a trifle fast. Their previous timé to Fawley was 3 minutes 35 seconds. Yale should have done better tonight with the condi- ions. Capt. Treadway sald he could not under- stand why the boat nung so, but there was no drive in the beat. The Yale men are in good condition, but it seems to me that Langford cannot keep the stroke up to the pitch called for. I have been very hopeful thus far, but Yale must take a pig brace over today’s work to catch up to the promise of her Previous showing. Cook is very sertously impressed by the showing today, and raked the erew over the coals without mercy. The Eton School crew will not row in the Grand Challenge. This. disposes of any possibility of rowing any of the heats for the Challenge Cup until Tuesday. f Record of the Clubs. L.

The grand stand was filled with his fair admirers, but he was an easy mark for the Boston sluggers, who lined out the ball whenever hits were needed to send men along the bases or to push them over the plate. On the other hand, Sullivan was in prime form, and, although he was hit rea- sonably hard and often, yet he kept the hits scattered, so that no more than two of them came in one inning, and two of them came together only once, and resulted in no scores. Had not the Boston team gone to pieces in a most singular and unaccount- able manner in the seventh inning, Sullivan would have shut Washington out. This case of fumbles has seldom been equaled on these grounds. Boston had been playing a magnificent game in the field, when sudden- ly there began a series of muffs and fum- bles that seemed like the work of school boys rather than veterans. But the game could not then well be lost, for the visitors had been piling up the runs with a steady regularity that froze the blood in the veins of the thousands of spectators. Up to that rocky seventh not a Senator had crossed the rubber, though several men had reached third base, and needed only the influence of a safe hit to inspire them to score. But invariably when the north corner of the diamond was occupied by a Statesman, the next batsman would either pop out a fly, or punk down a weak one to the infield, and go out at first or force a man at second. Boston began the run-getting in the sec- ond inning. After Tucker had struck out Duffy, Harrington and Lowe put liners through Joyce that some of the uncharitable folks in the stand counted as errors, but that the old-timers all agreed were safe hits. They were all difficult balls, and Joyce would have been making phenomenal plays if he had captured them. On these hits two runs were scored, and then Sullivan struck out and Hamilton gave Crooks an easy chance. In the second inning another brace of runs came in. After two hands were out Long went down on balls, Tucker drove a two-bagger along the left foul line, and both men scored on Duffy's three-base hit to center, that bounded over Brown’s head. Duffy tried to stretch the hit into a homer, and was easily thrown out at the plate, Brown to De Montrevilte to McGuire. Mac made a fine catch of the throw, which was rather high. In the fourth Harrington led off with a single, and was thrown out at second try- ing to elongate it into a two-bagger. Then Lowe flied out, and, with the two mew re- tired, Sullivan lined out a single over sec- ond, Hamilton went along on balls, and Tenney hit to left for a base, scoring Sulli- van. Bannon flied out to Lush. In the fifth Long and Tueker banged safe drives into left field. Long went to third on the second hit, and Selbach, throwing in, struck the runner on the posterior anatomy, and the ball rolled to the stand, Long scoring. Crooks fumbled Duffy's easy bounder and ‘Tucker scored. Then three men went out in order. The visitors’ last run was tallied in the sixth. With Hamilton out, Tenney hit for a base, and was forced by Bannon, who then stole and scored on Long's safe drive to center. It looked as though another run would be chalked up for Hoston in the sev- enth. Duffy laced out a pretty one to left, and after Harrington had popped up a little fly bunt to McGuire Lowe sailed a liner over toward left field. De Montreville, who was playing a magnificent game at short, went up into the air and nabbed it, returning it to first in time to shut off Duffy, who was scrambling back to the bag. In the eighth, for the first time in the game, the visitors went out in order. Again and again did the locals reach the bases, but the hits to score them could not be obtained, though nearly all the @atsmen had chances to redeem the game. In the seventh, after Mercer had flied out to Duffy, who played like four men, Lowe fumbled Brown's grounder. Joyce put one at Tucker, who tried to field it, but the effort was ghastly, and both men were safe. Then the crowd awoke from its lethargy and began to root in earnest. Selbach gave Lowe an- other chance to fumble, but he did not ac- cept it, and the batsman was retired. Then Lush put up a fly back of second that Lowe went after, and, after getting the ball in his hands, he dropped it, Brown and Joyce scoring. Cartwright tried to keep the mill going by smashing a liner out to center, but McGuire could not score Lush from third, flying out to Duffy. In the eighth the comedy of errors was concluded. Lowe fumbled Crooks’ ball. De Montreville forced Crooks at second, and went along on Mercer's single to center. Brown gave Long an easy one, on which Herman put Mercer out at second. He then threw to first, hoping to make a double, but the ball went wild and De Montreville scored. In the ninth Selbach bunted safely and was forced at second. The next two men then went out.

RUSIE OBDURATE, Says He Will Remain Idle Before He Will Submit. Amos Rusle received a telegram from Pittsburg yesterday acquainting him with the decision of the national board, and in- forming him that a letter containing a fuller statement had been mailed. He did not seem to be very much disappointed when seen by the New York Journal cor- respondent. He maintained his accustomed silence when asked regarding his future plans. He said, however, that he would spend the summer in idleness before he Wwouldysubmit to the treatment of President Freedman. Asked if he would take steps to recover the money which he claimed has been ille- gally withheld, he replied that such was his purpose, but he did not know exactly how he would go about it until he received the letter spoken of in the telegram and was fully advised of the board's action. He seemed to think that the letter might contain an intimation of some means of settlement that would be both honorable and agreeable, but he refused to discuss the possibilities. He was satisfied that he could recover the money due him in court, and that he might be able to compel the New York management to pay him for de- priving him of remunerative employment this summer. He was emphatic in saying that the case would not end where it is now. FROM SMOKE TOWN. Some Things Said About the States- men in Pittsburg. From the Chronicle Telegraph. The Senators’ record of only two assists in a recent game in New York hardly will be equaled this year. Washington claims f) have received an offer of $2,000 for Caftwright. He is want- ed by @ breakfast food’ concern. Fred. Pfeffer says "t Andy Moses Freedman, owner of the New York club, ts the biggest donkéy that ever broke into the base ball busirless. Capt. Joyce is not pleased with the exhi- bition games during the championship, es- pecially whe. a club: fa making money like Washington.—Ex. “Billy should know that the Senators are dead; as far as winning the flag 1s concerned. . The Washington, D. C., crowds are the greatest rooters ee country. Just at Present they are ver the success of their team, and they ‘act like mad men. At the beginninglof the seventh inning of each game every mother’s son of them invariably gets up, tufns around and sits down again for luek.”And the ladies are just as bad as thé men. While every cther city provides a press box, to which these correspondents aro admitted, the Washington management rigorously excludes them from the press box at the local grounds, which is reserved exclusively for the use of the Washington newspaper men. PitcNer Maul may be out of the game this season as the result of Friday's geme. He started in to pitch, but in the first inning, while trying to deliver the wet ball, he wrenched his arm at the elbow and retired from the game. He says he is afraid the arm is gone. Pat Tebeanu’s Big Fine. In a published interview Fresident Rob- ison of the Cleveland club is quoted as saying that rottenness and conspiracy ex- ists In the National League against every Cleveland ball player. It is further declared that Mr. Robison wil! refuse to pay the $200 fine imposed on Tebeau, and will engage able legal talent to protect his yers. The league is threatened with a taste of civil law, and President Stucky of the Louisville club is hardled witrout gloves. It leaked out that the action of the league directors in fining Tebeau was not ac- complished without some discussion. It is stated that President Young opposed the motion. He thought the umpire should have inflicted the penalty. Mr. Young withcrew his objections with some reluct- ance. It is reported that Mr. Hart of Chi- cago brought up the case. DE MONTREVILLE’S CHANCE. To Be a Grent Short Stop He Must Stop Short. Washington base ball cranks rejoice that the Washington team has a shortstop that can play his position as it ought to be played—that is, most of the time. De Mon- treville promises to be one of the star in- fielders of the league. But there are many people who say without qualification that such promises are likely to be broken if the young man doesn’t take better care of him- self. Every now and then the official score shows a big bunch of errors set over ainst the name of De Montreville. It is very generally and positively stated on those occasions that it wouldn't be difficult to find the cause of such ragged playing. De Montreville played a magnificent game yesterday against Boston, but on the pre- vious day in Baltimore his fielding was wretched, It is said that there were good reasons for the different kinds of playing. If the brilliant young ball player has any ambition to shine in his chosen calling ail he has to do is to play ball and take good care of himself. He has all the qualifica- tions of a great ball player. ATLANTIC LEAGUE MAY SPLIT. Franchises to Be Exchanged and the Season Divided Into Two Sections. A meeting of the Atlantic Base Ball League has been called for tomorrow to settle two important questions. The first is the proposed transfer of New Haven to Albany, the Metropolitans to Troy, and the Wilmingtons to New Haven. It is not thought that this will go through, as there is strong opposition to taking the present New Haven team away. ‘The second is to start a second champion- ship season. This will probably pass, and will begin July 5, the Patersons being de- clared champions for the first season, and the teams starting anew for the second. The champion teams for the iwo seasons will meet in a post-championship series. Notes. Boston again today. King may pitch the game. Ladies’ day seems to be a hoodoo. Duffy killed most of Washington's chances to score. DeMontreville’s work was without a flaw, and he atoned for the wretched exhibition he gave in Baltimore. McGuire has fallen off terribly in his bat- ting. He has failed to hit the ball safely of late with the old-time reguiarity. With an ordinary amount of safe hitting when men were on bases the game would have been won. Few teams take such a tumble in fielding as Boston did and yet save the score. Joyce's failure to get those three hits in the second Inning should not be marked up against him. If he had reached them safe- ly he would have been doing the most re- markable work of the season. To give him errors on those plays is to put a premium on shirking hot hit balls.

Work’s Comments on the Recent Whist Congrens. Milton C. Work, the team captain of the Hamilton Whist Club four of Philadelphia at the recent whist congress, writes as follows in the Evening Telegraph, of which paper he is the whist editor: That the success of the Hamilton team is a popular one with practically all the clubs in the league is beyond question. It has long been generally conceded that inasmuch as the Hamilton team was a strong one it was unfortunate that it had never been able to win its own trophy. The result is fur- ther pleasing inasmuch as it fs a triumph for the Hamilton club in a congress where the standard of play was higher than ever before, and is a victory for the long suit system. In fact, the entire result of the play at the congress emphasizes the advantages of the long suit game, and the only way the short suit writers can avoid acknowl- edging this fact is to claim successful long suit players as short suiters, manufacture interviews, etc. In the Hamilton trophy contest only one team played an out-and-out short suit game. That team was from the Capital Bicycle Club of Washington. Individually considered, the whist ability of iis players could not be questioned, and yet as a team, although it had the luck to draw in what was generally admitted to be the weakest of the four sections, it only finished third in that section. The other team in this contest generally considered _to be a short suit aggregation was New York. Their game in this contest, however, can be more accurately described as a mixture of the twc systems. Be that as it may, however, in spite of the ad- mitted individual skill of. the four play- ers in the team, they were beaten in their first two matches, and finished third in their section. There were other teams in this contest with short-sult leanings, but not one of them finished even as high as second in its section, and the three teams that made the best showing in the contest, viz., Ham- ilton, St. Paul, and Baltimore, were all long-suit fours of the most radical type. In the Minneapolis trophy contest two pairs entered to play the short sult game, viz., American of Boston and Capital Bi- cycle of Washington. The individual abil- ity of the players was up to, i€ not well above, the average of the other contes- tants, yet in the sixteen entries (some of PLENTY OF PLAIN BLUES AND BLACKS BESIDES THE FANCY MIXTURES IN THOSE $10—$12—AND $15 SUITS WE'RE RUNNING AT $7.50.

The three leaders, Baltimore, Hamilton, and Fergus Falls, were long-suiters of the most radical description. The third trophy contest (the A» W. L.) was played under a short and non-conclu- sive system, and the short-suiters make @ big hurrah over the fact that it was won by New York. They forget to mention, however, that prior to the contest Capt. Henriques and Col. Buffington, having had enough experience in dabbling with short suits in the Hamilton trophy contest, de- cided to change their platform, and after the contest signed a statement to the effect that during the entire play they never once led a short suit. Albany finished sec- ond in this contest; it is an out-and-out long-suit team. These are the plain facts of the case; any other representation of it is either in- correct or intentionally misleading. It may also be aided that the captain of the American Club four of Boston told the writer that the club committee select- ed twelve men from which he was to choose the congress four; that he played them in all sorts of ways, lorgs against shorts, in practice, and that the longs al- ways won by big margins every practice match except one that was a tie. It was therefore decided that the team should play the long suit game, in spite of the fact that it contained as onc of its members E. C. Howell, the author of the latest short suit book. All this proves most conclusively what in this column has always been contendel, viz., that, while the short suits may score an occasional victory, the long suit game will in the end win by a big margin. SAILING FOR THE MUIR CUP. The Britannia Has Won It Twice in Succession. HUNTERS’ QUAY, Firth of Clyde, July 1.—In the regatta of the Mud Hook Yacht Club here today, Britannia, Satanita and Caress started at 10:30 a.m. in the order named, in a race for the Muir cup, valued at £105, which the Prince of Wales’ cutter has already won twice, in 1894 and in 1895. Consequently, if she wins the trophy again today it becomes the property of the Prince of Wales. Penitent, Niagara and the Saint started in the race for the smaller yachts at 10:45, all the racers in this class being steered by amateurs. A fresh northwest wind was blowing, and the racing between Britannia and Satanita was very close. 5 The first round was concluded, as fol- lo Britannia . -12 56 00 Satanita .. -12 57 04 Caress . 1 08 O1 TENNIS AT TUXEDO.

Whitman of Harvard, one of the strong- est players entered. Paret led up to 5—2 in the second.

ZH FS § oker Recent Decision by Racing Chair- man Gideon, From the Raltimore Sun, today. Secretary Harry V. Casey of the racing board of Maryland Division, L. A. W., re- ceived a telegram yesterday from George D. Gideon, chairman of the racing board of the league, announcing that W. Fred. Sims must not race as a member of the Centaur Club team in the interclub races of July 11. Sims cannot legally race for any Wash- ington club in these races either.

Gideon decides that Sims has only resided in Baltimore from the latter part of November, 1895, to March, 1896, a period of about four months He now lives in Wash- ington.
