A Race in Which All Contestants Broke the Record. In one of the most magnificent contests ever Jowed over an American course, the Wale Freshmen yesterday at Pougkeepsie won a victory by two lengths over Har- vard, with Cornell three-quarters of a length behind the crimson. Yale, first, 9 minutes, 19% seconds: Har- vard, second, 9 minutes, seconds; Cor- nell, third, 9 minutes 2914 seconds; best pre- vious record, 9 minutes 41 seconds. The hour of starting was postponed from 5:30 o'clock for an hour, then for half an hour longer, and another wait carried the race along until 7:10 o'clock before the shout of the referee unlashed the straining | blades. The observation train curled like a yel- low snake along the bank, the tiers of seats brightened only here and there by flecks of color and groups of shouting col- legians and pretty girls waving their ban- ners. AtT of hi Go. © o'clock the referee from the bow Swilt yacht shouted: “Are you ready? A rattle, a rush, showers of spray and Harvard jumped in the lead, Cornell hard after and Yale getting off’ badly a good length behind. Por the first half mile it was anybody's race. Yale got together in a few strokes and began to eut down her rivals, stroke by stroke. She was row- ing thirt, e, Harvard thirty-four and Cornell"was keyed a bit higher at thirt At the first half mile the Yale colts even and drawing ahead. Cornell were ‘and Harvard had been nip and tuck, but j now in the bed d | cond half the Ithacans spurt- perately. The Harvard men were not to be shaken off, and meeting the spurt forged slowly ahead. Yale was on the outside and Corneil nearest the bank. In the last mile Yale was going smooth- ly, with plenty of power and pretty blade work. Harvard was getting a bit ragged in the boat, although there was no splash- ing, while the stroke of Cornell seemed to be getting a bit short and uncertain. When the time came for the final burst of speed in the last quarter Yale had a length and a half the better of Harvard, while the Cornell bbw was lapping the Crimson rudder. The Cambridge men seemed badly used up and had rowed them- selves to a standstill, but exhaustion did not show in the work of these plucky oungsters until relaxation came and then two of them keeled over. The Yale and Cornell crews sat up well and seemed to have considerable starch left in them. Capt. Brock of the Yale crew said last evening: “I was never more surprised than to see the way we got off at the start. Wo have always been slow at the start and have never started before at the shot of a pistol. I expected that both Harvard and Cornell would pull right away from us at the start and that we would not catch up until after the first mile, but in- stead of that the coxwain tells me that we started even with Harvard and got ahead of Cornell. I was also surprised to see Harvard and Cornell attempt to spurt on the mile. I think they killed themselves by attempting to spurt when they dal. We did not spurt until the last half, and then we pulled right away from them, “Our boys were certainly not up to their usual condition in the race, and for myself I feel weak and had a cramp in my stem- ach, but we saved ourselves as much us we could and were able to pull out. all right. Yale started off with ten fast strokes and rowed nineteen strokes the first half minute and seventeen the second. After that we tried to keep thirty-four to the minute, and spurted at thirty-; the last half.” Rage Notwithstanding their recent {llness, the Freshmen were all in fine condition when they finished the race. They walked up to their quarters from the boat house chat- ting glibly together over their victory in the face of so many misfortunes, and after a hearty dinner a number of them took their coats and valises and walked thre miles into town to catch the train for New York Fred White, who has assisted in the training of the Cornell eights, said, in a disgusted tone, that the youngsters showed a noticeable lack of sense in running thelr stroke up and down and not keeping at a steady, hard pull from the beginning. Capt. Goodrich of the Harvard ‘Varsity crew, who had his men upon the observa- tion train to witness the race, said: “Harvard is very much pleased with the result of the race today. Neither Mr. Leh- mann nor myself had any idea that our Freshmen crew would do anything. They had practically trained themselves. Mr. Lehmann devoted nearly all his attention to the ‘Varsity crew. They gave the Yale men a pretty good fight and beat our old victors of last year, and, altogether, we are very proud of th GOSSIP ABOUT THE RACE. y's Result Depresses Corneil Steck in Tomerro: Contest. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., June 24.—Yes- terday’s defeat of Cornell's junior oarsmen, of whom so much had been expected by local enthusiasts, has sent the stock of the Ithacan ‘Varsity away below par in the estimation of the betting fraternity. The Yale contingent have been wonderfully moderate in their jubilation, taking thought that the university boat race, which is scheduled to follow the freshmen contest within forty-eight hours, may easily bring @ reversal of results and give others the chance to laugh best—laughing 1: Because the Harvard freshmen, whom little was expected, were second in yester- day’s race, Harvard "Varsity stock has ad- vanced notably, the fact that they have had the benefit of Fred. Lehman's coach- ing, almost to the complete exclysion of the freshmen crew, having much to do with the change in public estimation. It is now conceded that there 1s every prob- ability that the Cambridge ‘Varsity crew will give Yale and Cornell one of the gamest fights that ever was witnessed on American waters. The result of yester- day has likewise acted as a great stimulus to the crews of Pennsylvania and Colum- bia, which are to contest next week with Cornell. Pennsylvania's backers today are feel- ing very confident, and say that they can win both races next week. They argue that in the brush with Yale a few days ago they showed that they were strong, and that Yale having had an easy time, there is no reason why Pennsylvania should not also win. At the same time the Cornell men are still confident of victory tomorrow. They say today that their freshmen crew was not up to the standard and did erratic stroke work. They believe that their "Varsity crew is fast, and say that there will be plenty of money to back. the statement, NOW FOR THE GIANTS =a Ss Washingtons to Meet the New York ‘Team)Next, ¢ PHILLIES AGAIN: WERE BEATEN Greatest Freshman Boat Race on Record Rowed.

To write a description of the games play- ed with the Phillies in the series just closed one game would answer for all. In a nutshell, the visitors played listless, al- most dumb, ball, while the Senators were in the game from start to finish, their batting being something to crow over and their fielding of the sensational order at critical stages of the game. This was the order of things In yesterday’s game, the home club winning easily by the score of 12 to 2. Jack Taylor went on the rubber for the visitors in the hope of getting at least one game out of the contest, but when he drop- ped the ball on the line in the second inn- ing in trying to run down McGuire his use- fulness was over for the day, as it bro ‘s heart. Jack pulled himself together in the fourth and fifth inning, but it was only a flash in the pan, and he soon relapsed into listless work. In direct contrast to Taylor's work was the performance of Winnie Mercer. He didn’t use one-fourth the speed that the Phillies’ twirler did, but his brain pan was sizzling hot, and the way Win worked the heavy hitters for pop flies or easy infield hits was a caution. When any pitcher holds the Phillies dowr. to seven hits ‘he is doing work that must be ranked with ex- taordinary performan The Senators secured their first four runs in the second inning, when McGuire went Pittsburg Won in Eleven Innings. It took eleven innings yesterday before the Pittsburgs could defeat their old hoo- doo, the.Chicagos, but they did the trick nicely, winning by the score of 6 to 5.

The Senators play New Yorks today and a tough proposition is before them, as Rusie will probably pitch. Just at present the Senators are hitting everything, and we may keep it up on the great twirler. Tomorrow will be ladies’ day, and with two games for one admission a great crowd will doubtles turn out. After Lajoie had tried a couple times to hit Mercer and failed he commenced scold- ing himself for his weakness, when Cooley said: “Don't mind that! Mercer has been pulling off that slow ball of his for four years, and he’s a good one.” Little Wrigley did himself proud yester- day, and Earl Wagner is right when he claims that he has a crackerjack in Zeke. Mr. Wagner called attention to the fact that but five infielders have been developed in the big league since 1891, that is, at sec- ond, third and short, the men being Dah- len, Irwin, Collins and DeMontreville. Un- der these circumstances it would be foolish to let a player get away with all the ear- marks of a crackerjack player that Wrig- ley has. Clements lamented the fact that the ball Wrigley captured in right center would have been a home run, good and easy, on the Philadelphia grounds. Tom Brown's bad leg troubled him yes- terday, ard he thought it a good chance to jay off and give Wrigley an opportunity. With Brown out of the game it looked as though his directions would be missed, but he kept the boys going all the time from the line, and little Zeke proved a great sub- stitute. The same old weakness in the Phillies was apparent yesterday as it has been for the pest three or four years—at short and in the pitcher's box. Gillen is a wooden player, and if Jack Taylor can’t pitch, who is the twirler in the Phillies’ string who can? The Quakers dropped back to eighth place through yesterday’s defeat and that is the club the Senators will next have to over- take in the race toward the first division. Chicago is the only club back of the Sen- ators that is likely to come forward in the last quarter. If yesterday’s work was a sample of young Wrigley’s ball playing ability Mr. Wagner had better continue to keep his name on the Senators’ pay roll. Washing- ton does uot want to lose any more real ball players. Wrigley is a comer, if, in- deed, he is not already here. Jack Stivetts has been putting in his mornings practicing the infield, and has developed a style inferior only to Collins’, so they say, and in case of injury to Lows or Long Bosten rations are likely to seo Stivetts play the infield, while Yeager would substitute in case Collins should meet with accident. “Chip” McGarr says the reporters have £0 much to say about Sockalexis that they overlook the wonderful fielding and bat- ting of Wallace. When it ts considered that Wallace has crowded “Chip” off the Cleve- jand third base, one can see what kind of a Christian the old man is.—Exchange. John B. Day, the inspector of umpires, says that every umptre of his staff is anx- fous to be assigned to Boston. The club does nct pay the fines of its players, nor protect them from the consequences of brawls with the umpires. As a result, the Bean Eaters are quiet and tractable, and the spectators are not annoyed by pro- Icnged disputes. With Cinctrmati and Boston contending for the Temple cup this fall, the players would likely derive a greater benefit than any of their predecessors have in a similar series. Boston is one of the best drawing cities in the east, and Cincinnati ranks in class A in the west. “If the proposed trade of Amos Rusie for Hawley is made, which do you think will have the worst of.it, the New York or the Pittsburg club?’ was asked of Captain Ewing yesterday. “Why, New York, to a moral certainty,” said the Reds’ leader. “There never was a time, spot or place where Hawley classed with Rusie. Hawley has speed, but that is about all he has. Ruste is not only fast, but has a good head, and can work c! of pace as weil as any pitcher in the e. I think Rusie = over pew ee 2 stedying. averages are well wort! They show that batting is a very impor- tant part, much more so than fielding, in giving a team a good place in the cham- pionship race, says an exchange. It will be observed that three of the four teams hold the best three places in the champion- ship race. On the other hand, the Balti- mores, who lead the race, are seventh in fielding. Go a little further and look over the individual batting averages. How well the old saying, “Once a batter, always a batter,” is exemplified! Look list, and the names of Kelley, Duify, Keel- er, Stenzel, Lange, Hamilton, Tiernan, Van Haltren, Holifday and others, who for years have bid for the topmost honors, are there again this season. Some new ones will also be found among the 300 per cent men, notably Mercer, Sockalexis, Stahl, De Sontreville, Clark, La Chance, Ritchey, Corbett and others. WOMEN PLAYING CHESS, Opcning of the Inte ress in London. The international chess congress for wo- men players, which was begun in the Ma- scnic Hall of the Hotel Cecil, London, ts the first of its kind in the history of chess. Twenty women, representing nine different countries and selected from a long list of ap Plicants for places, are contesting for in- ternational honors and money prizes ag- gregating $1,100.
