There /was a‘“‘punch” in t e Yale stroke which meant business Harvard's stroke Seemed to be ideal in every way: axuept it did not have sufficient power behind it. After passing the three-mile flag the crews hit smooth :water. The reflection of the oarsmen was plainly seen in the glassy Thames. The expected spurt of the Harvard crew did not come. Thé Crimson rowed along at the same pace as Yale and' lost on every pull of the oars. Before coming to the three-and-a-half mile mark, = the Crimson. stroke was increased to thirty-two while Yale was rowing thirty. It was eivdent after - the crews had rowed this distance that Harvard was unable to get any more power in ‘the stroke. The crew was game, it rowed steadily and without a falter, but the kick was not there. Yale stuck to their task until ' the crews had covered three and a half miles before McLane dared to look around. He turned his head and saw the Crimson far in the ruck. Then he appealed ‘to his men to keep the pace they were going. They did. Yale rowed with a drive and a confidence which was supreme in the heart.of every man in.the boat. Harvard then ‘hopelessly and as a lats resort in- creased her stroke. Even now it was a Yale victory. From the yachts and trainloads of spectators came the trementous cheer of the victors. Yale could not 'lose now, and every Yale man knew . it. The rumbling cheers increased until the shrill shrieks of the sirens were lost in the volume of noise. With re- newed effort Yale pulled ahead. Cox- swain Kreger called -on his oarsmen in the Crimson shell to pull up. They hit the stroke to 34, but there was no chance of gaining on the Yale bhoat. It was moving along like a machlne driven by motor power. Thelast half mile was a Harvard tragedy. Yale held on and went ahead. Coming into the stretch the Ya.le crew was a picture of perfection. The feeling of victory had taken a strong hold on the boys in the’ Yale boat. Tired and almost all in as they were, McLane called for more power. He was answered, and a few hundred yards ‘before the finish the coxswain looked back again, and saw Harvard far behind, Then he held up his hand. He tried to tell his crew that it' was all over. Did they believe him ' or heed his cautious call to let down? They did not. They pulled all the harder, and when Yale shot over .the finish mark Harvard was hopelessly buried in the ruck, Yale won by about seven lengths. There were 21% seconds .between.the crews. Harvard.came along rowing in unison just as if they were winning. They did not quit. Every pull to the finish was perfect, just as they had been: taught.-- The Crimson eight trailed home without making any ef- fort to make a grandstand finish. They were rowing the stroke they knew. The only trouble was it was not fast enough. Harvard rowed its heart out, and was beaten by a bet- ter crew. New London Never Gayer. It was a gay day for New London. The crowd was bigger and it had more enthusiasm than it has had here for years. All day the street were jammed with confident Harvard ad- herents and hopeful Yale men. Every- where was Blue and Grimson The Jacques Fournier dtt’ing’ and Fielding Sensationally Chicago, June 26.—Up to the pres- ent season the Chicago White Stock- ings were woefully weak 1in two posis tioris—at the initial ‘and ' keystone hassocks. The acquisition of Eddie Collns filled up the gap\ at second, but up to the opening of the sea: son and for some time after Clarence Rowland was still experimenting with “dookfes” at first. The situation re- mained in that condition until one day early in the spring he decided to give Jacques Fournier, who wes LOW ELECTED CAPTAIN. | Member of Winning Crew to Heard Blue Oarsmen in 1916. New London, Conn., June 26.—Setn hawkers had a prosperous day, for .everyone wore colors. New York and Boston were here in force in private cars, automobiles, and palatial yachts. Never has the old whaling village seen shch a collection on the river. First, there was the Secretary of tite Navy Josephus Daniels, on the Dol- phin. Outside of the bridge the gray, mysterious battleship Utah ‘was an- chored with all its flags flying. Also outside the bridge was the America’s Cup candidate, Résolute, \trlm and ready for action, Commodore Morton F. Plant and Mrs. ‘Plant had several guests aboard the Kanawha, while other yachts along the course wers J. P. Morgan's Corsair, August Bel- mont’s Scout, Lloyd Phoenix’s In- trepid, George Lauder’s Enrymion, Harold Vanderbilt's Vagrant, Willian: Zeigler’s Gem, and Mrs. Edward Har- riman’s Sultana and numerous others. To add to the entertainment ot the race day crowds Jack Tweed hova ered over the city in his aeroplane. The Harvard club of New York and the Harvard club of Boston came on special trains and were all trim. med up with college colors. . Tho classes having their reunion in New Haven and Cambridge also came and gave a touch of gayety to the holiday. Even the Fat Men’s clup of Connec- ticut had ‘an outing here today and every time any one got stuck in the crowd could not proceed, it was cer- tain that one of the club members wag in front of him. The crowd was good-natured and happy, and the New London cops smiled@ with the visitors. Celebrities. by the score were herc from New York and all parts of New England, and they mingled with the rest and made merry on the observa- tion trainms. The last word in stylish gowns and hats was seen here yesterday on the' women folks. Suits which looked like, awnings and coats which were as loud as could be in both blue and crimson were « resplendent in the crowd. The Charley Chaplin hat and cane were on sale by the vendors and several foolsihr people cultivated this style. It all goes to show that every- body was bappy, ecially Yale. Charlie Brickley was here and took his life in his hands by walking through the streets like any other hu- man being. Every few feet Charley weés held up by old Harvard men and was told what a great fellow he 1s. BErickley is lame tonight through con- gratulation. Lamer then he ever was after a football game. Anybody as famous at Harvard as Brickley ought to stay home, Those Yale men who lost their trains were parading the streets yes- terday singing and shouting. They are very jublMant and have a right to be. It is the first time In seventeen years that Yale has swept the river in all three evénts. It was away back in 98 that they cleaned up on the historic course and beat Harvard by 21 lengths, thereby hanging up a ree- ord for the Thames which has never lbeen ‘beaten, That records was 20:19, Low, 2d namesake and nephew of the former Mayor of New York and ex-President of Columbia university, was last night elected captain of the Yale crew for 1916. He rowed No, 3 today and was bow oar last year. Three years ago he was in the fresh- men eight. He prepared for ¥als at the Groton school. When Captain Denegre resigned in March the yvote to:elect his succes- sor was a tie between Al Sturtevam and Low, and the cholce was decided by the flip of a coin. Sturtevant who retired from the captaincy last night announced that, he would return. ta college another vear and he will be available as an oarsman. ¢ NEWARK CLUB IN TROUBLE. Suit Brought to Recover Rent Park. Newark, June 26.-—Another phase of the local /International leagne club’s difficulties was disclosed to: day when suit for unpaid rent on Widenmayer’'s park was brought in the Circuit Court by the Reliable Im- provement company, owner of the property. The action, for a total of $1,750 with interest, alleges that no rent has been Haid since last Septem- ber, A ten yéar lease signed in 1910 by Joe McGinnity and Thomas F. Mar- tin, then respective president - anl secretary of the club, names $3,250 as annual rental, $260 to be paid April 1 of each year and $500 each of the six months of the baseball season. Gustave A. Widenmayer 'is president of the plaintiff company. for FUTURE OF PALESTINE To be Discussed at Meeting of Ten National Zionist Organizations. Boston, June 26.—The future "of Palestine, with/ particular reference to the effect of the war upon the move- ment for restoring the land to Jewish control, will be discussed at meetings of ten national Zionist organizations here extending over a week. Head- quarters for the registration of dele- gates were opened yesterday and the program will start with religious ser- vices and a reception tonight. The principal convention is that of the Federation of American Zionists, represénting all the American Zionist organizations. 1In the call for the convention Louis Ipsky of New York, chairman of the executive commit- tee of the federation, said: “This convention will be the most important annual conference ever held by Amer- ican Zionists. Zionism in Europe has been seriously affected by the war, Our comrades are unable to bear this portion of the burden of Zionist work. ‘We must assume the extraordinary fe- sponsibilities thrust upon us. To meet the new problems that have arisen and our larger obligations, unusual sacris fices will be demanded of us.” then holding down an outfield berth, a trial as first baseman, and almost with the making of his decision Row- land’s troubles faded. Fournier fitt- ed into his new berth as if to tha manner borm, and almost simultan- eously with the shift he started clout- ing® the elusive spheroid “a la ' Ty Cobb.” Now .Jacques is rated as one of -thé, really good -first 'sackers in the business, and he 'is looked upon as the only dangerous rival Ty Cobb for batting honors of the American league. HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT. Two' Men Who Tried to Sell Mine to Mr. Caulkins of Middletown. Middletown, June 26.—George F. Barrnes and Charles A. Stevenson, re- cently arrested charged with an at- tempt to obfain through fradulent means $20,000 from F. L. Caulkins, an automobile garage owner of this city and Hartford, were held in $1,000 for the superior court yesterday. 'The allegation is that the men tried to sell Mr. Caulkins a mine which is said to be located in' Canada. The police presented in court Miles B. Manck, of Portland, Me., who tes- tified that these men tried to sell him a mine under conditions similar to those™which are said to have caused Cauylkins to prefer complaint. The eviderice was such that Judge Pearne decided that the case had better go to a higher court for settlement. BARRED FROM CONNECTICUT. American Real Estate Company Re- ‘fused License by Dower. Hartfard, June 26.—Building and Loan Commissioner John L. Dower said’ yesterday afternoon that he had refused to renew the license of the American Real Estate company to do business in this state. It is a New York ‘eoncern, incorporated under the laws of Rhode Island, and claims to have assets of $30,000,000. Mr. Dow- er has lodged his information with the attorney general. The ‘commissioner said today that he had been investigating the affairs of the company for some time and had employed experts on the case, and the denial of the license was the result of their report. He declined to make public any evidence. i THIRD YALE-HARVARD GAME, New York, June 26.—For the third time this year the Harvard and Yal baseball teams were to meet again today at Ebbets Ficld, Brooklyn. Al- though Harvard won the first (wo games, a good deal of interest cen- tered in the second meeting of Ma- han and Way, who were the rival boxmen at New Haven last Tuesday. REV, DRENNAN TO STAMFORD.

New York, June 26.—Veteran base- ball fans, whose memories gt | them back to the early days of the ‘nauonal game, are discussing the | recent report from Pittsburg that the oldest baseball in existencve had , been insured for $1,000 against 16ss ! by fire or burgiary. This sphere, | which is covered by one piece of | horsehide sewed in the center, s ! rald to be fifty-three years’old, hav- | Ing made its initial appearance in | # game played between the Bclipse ¢lub of Kinkston, N. Y., and the i Hudson team of Newburgh, N. Y., on June 20, 1862, which was won by Kingston players 49 to 18. While this ball is undoubtedly ons of the old time spheres it is not the oldest by some years If the records regarding this department of base- ball can be relied upon. A baseball which ante-dates the Pittsburgh one by flve years, is, or was, uneil recent ly, in possession of P. M.

This sphere was | used in what is claimed to be the first championship game ever played | In this country, It figured in . the | contest between the Tri-Mountain club | of Boston and the Portland, Me,, feam in a game played Sept., J, 1867. Like the Pittsburg ball it has a one« | plece cover and ‘'measures ten inches | in circumference. The contest in { which this ball, now preserved by | & coating of gold leaf and suitably on | Inscribed, was used was played Boston Commons and was won by Portland. 47 to 42. The match was. memorable in other re!peo’.! sin * it was the first played: under the nine-inning rule and the first in which ‘*he pitcher was permitted to pitch instead of being forced to use ‘the | toss or underhand throw. } The Speedway ociation of Amer- ica recently formed to’ control auto- racing on the speedways of seven cities throughont the country marks a'new ‘era in automobile racing. The association, which is broadly defined as a gentleman's agreement among the promoters to avoid conflict of dates, excess bidding for entries and other features where co-operation is more effective than strife, includes speedways at Indianapolis, Chicago, New York, Omaha, Sioux City, Min- neapolis and Tacona with Detroit as a possible member of the near fu- } ture. The organization as composed at present represents seven speedways with a total seating capacity of closa to 400,000 and 156 miles of track. More than one-fourth of a million dollars is to be offered in purses dur- ing the year and the list of event's arranged upon a non-conflict basis so far as possible. Indianapolis and Minneapolis have the largest courses both being two and a half miles tc ‘the lap. The othHer cities in the as- sociation have two miletracks. Thres tracks are wood, three of asphalt and one brick. More than ten million dol- lars worth of property and buildings are represented in the organization. Early calls for practice are to be the rule in eastern university foot- ball circles this autumn. Both Har- vard and Pennsylvania will assemble a large portion of their squads some days before the opening of the uni- versities in order that the payers may be coached in the fundameitals of the game before the serious work of the season begins. The Quakers will report at Mt.

The form shown by this gquartet will bhe watched closely, since it is ex- rected to give a line on the probable ocutcome of the West vs. fast matches to'be played at San Francisco about the middle of July. The personnel of the western team has not been made public as yet but it is known .that the Peacific coast has a number of racquet ars to select from, including Me- Johnston, Fcttrell, Griffin and Strachan. The first five of these are ranked in the leading ten players of the United States singles and doubles considered and it will be no casy task to defeat the western team cspecially since the play will be, in all probability, on asphalt courts. Last season Williams defeated Johnston 'twice, winning five out of seven sets only one of which went to duece. Murray, Fottrell and Mec- Loughlin all. fell before Williams while his only defeat administered by an American was that by McLoughlin at Longwood. Washburn won from Fottrell and Johnston but lost to Mur- ray. Church defeated Murray but also lost to the same playes as well as to Griffin.
