The Harvard sec- ond eight disposed of Leander; the Union Boat club eight of Boston de- feated the London Rowing club; Win- nipeg had an easy victory over the Thames Rowing club, and the German crew of Mayence won from Jesus coi- lege, Cambridge, in the fastest time of the day The four visiting crews will com- pete tomorrow in the second series and the winners will row the final on Saturday. - Harvard tomorrow wiil row Winnipeg shortly after 1 o'clock. and the Boston and Mayence eights will measure blades two hours late From the form shown today the Harvard men are favorites, although, with the exception of Mayence, the others were not extended. -The Union crew of Boston merely puiled over the course. They started with a thir- tynine stroke and eased off to thirty- two, They did not find it necessary again to extend themselves, but they hit up a faster stroke just before they crossed the line, Harvard had a harder race, but the manner in which the men handled themselves showed they had a lot in reserve at the finish. “The Harvard-Leander race” says the Pall Mall Gaszette, “stands out as one of the best and most -thrilling performances ever witnessed on the river. It is the best showing that American eight has yet made at Hen- ley.” The Grand Challenge cup was won in 1906, 1967 and 1909 by Belgian crews, in 1912 it was carried to New South Wales by an eight representing the Sydney Rowing club, Robert Dibble, Don Rowing club, Toronto, the American amateur sculi- ing champion, won his way to the semi-finals for the diamond scull. He rowed a clean race and handily de- feateq the Englishman, J. Lawrence Tann. James B. Ayer, Union Boat club, Boston, the only representative of the United States left in the contest for the Diamond, after the first round when he was beaten by the Italian, Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The Italian’s ta: tice in his race with Ayer, although it made no difference as far as the result was concerned, were severely criticised. He took his opponent’s station and gave Aver his wash, which is considered unsportsmanlike at Hen- ley, and there were cries of “Play the game.” OFFICIALS CHOSEN FOR FOURTH OF JULY RACES Everything Ready for Big Programme at the Fair Grounds. Everything is about ready for the monster motorcycle meet and horse races of the Connecticut Amusement assoclation on the Norwich fair grounds track on the Fourth. The 2.20 trot or pace is full, the 2.30 will fill today, and at least eight good ones, including some fast county nags, will g0 away with the starter's word in the running race. Prescott, Cox, Armes Driscoil, Bur- dick and Latham will make the track hot in ‘the open races. In the local the Chappell, Davis, Ringland, Inder- bitzen, Baldwin brush is bound to be a keen one. Chappell will ride a new wheel. His Franklin and Lebanon friends will be down to see him and most of them are also friendly to “Farmer” George Latham. who Man- ager Pendleton expects will also be in the going here. There will be a great outpouring -from all of eastern Connecticut on the Fourth, and the management, which all along has counted on 10,000 people, ‘will not be disappointed. To avoid the horse. will be Fred J. West of New London, the motorcycle er C. V. Pendle- ton, Jr, of Norwich. The marshal ‘will be Caspar K. Bailey of Norwich. RITCHIE-WELSH MATCH. Event for World's Lightweight Pu; listic Championship Will Soon Be Pulled Off. ‘With the Ritchie-Welsh match for the world’s lightweight championship less than a week away, this event will help to dispel the unsavory aftermath of the big heavyweight affair. With |the little men there is no question as to the henesty of their Intentions. It is net necessary in this case to point . out that the champion is not likely to fake, for this or that reason. it is taken for granted that the bout will be strietly on the level. From all accounts a tremendous crowd will be on hand to see the bat- tle, although in peint of interest it must give way to the Smith-Carpen- tier match. even more concerned about having the Frenchman, Carpentier, defeated, than over the prospects -of annexing | the lghtweight title. Since he arrived in England Ritchie has created a very favorable impres- sion by his modest bearing and the earnest way he goes about his prep- arations for the match. Ritchie’s first move was to issue an open invitation to all and sundry to come and spar with him at his training quarters. A number of lightweights and wel- terweights accepted and Ritchie has not been lacking in sparring partners. Ritchie's willingness to display his form in this fashion has created some- thing of a sensation and has done much to remove the impression that he lacks championship calibre, which resulted when the reports of his de- feat by Charley White reached Eng- land, Ritchie’s straight standing, clean- cut style of milling has made a hit with the English critics, although at “first there was a tendency to criticise his skill on the defense. But after he had had time to loosen the kinks in 'his muscles and got his right cross working properly it was generally ad- mitted that he far surpasses the Eng- lish champion when it comes to hard hitting. Since Welsh returned to England he has kept busy giving out interviews telling of his troubles in obtaining a match and how he expects to win. While doing full justice to his own prowess, Welsh’s remarks sound rea- sonable enough, howeyer. Welsh says he has hlways made a point of seeing Ritchie's fights, so that he couid size him up properly. He thinks Ritchie's best performance was his battle with Leach Cross in Mad- ison Square Garden. . “Ritchie rather surprised me in that contest,” says Welsh. “He showed both good headwork and hard hitting, and I must admit he has improved since I beat him in Los Angeles. That was the best fight Ritchie ever put up, however. Since then he has not done nearly so well. I saw him fight Mur- phy and I thought he had fallen off in his work. He would have been for me that night. ‘I missed his bout with White, but from reports I read and what I heard through other channels T am sure he did not display his real form. He probably happened to have an off night, and White was lucky enough to cateh him with a hard punch in the first round. I am sure that he is White's master. Regarding himself, Weisn said: “I dor’t think T have gome back any. I may be a little slower than I was some years ago, but I have gained in experience. 1 am sure that I am still ‘Willie's master, and I can’t. begin to say how pleased I am to get the chance to prove it.” FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS DULL, The Stock List Was Almost Deveid of Notable Features. New York, July 2—The approaching holidays doubtless accounted for the idle drift of prices on the stock ex- change today. Total transactions were not juch above recent low records and professional character of the trading offered further proof of the | absence of interest on the part of in- Vestors. Only in the bond division are there any indications that the flscal year, with its large interest and dividend withdrawals, has stimulated any reaé outside demand. Municipal bond and other securities of similar ‘class have profited, as is seen in their general advance. The stock lst was almost devoid of notable feature.

Recelvership for the Oineinnati, Hamilton and Dayton failed to cause the slightest ripple, its effect appar- | ently having been fully discounted, The money market was-again un- affected by the enormous midyear overturn, which is sure to be reflected in the weekly bank statement. The cash loss is estimated at as much as $20,000,000, but is likely to be offset by receipts from the interior. In the general bond list yesterday’s |- continued.

Coltecting a Big War Fund Which Will Be at the Disposal-of the Na- tional Commission. From an authoritative source comes the information that the National and American leagues are quietly collecting a huge war fund which will be at the disposal of the national com- mission, already clothed with absolute authority to handle the fight with the Feds, in its own way. Each of the sixteen clubs in the major league eir- cuit is handing over 5 per cent. of the gross receipts of each game. It is said that, the plant went into effect on April 14, the date of the opening of the championship season, and that it was secretly adopted at the suggestion of the commission early in March. Each club is scheduleed to play seventy-seven games at home, which means a total of 1,232 games that will have been subject to the 5 per cent. tax when the schedules end on October seventh. A rough estimate places the total amount of the new war fund at $250, 000 of which the Giants, Red White Sox, Pittsburghs, Detroits and Cincinnati Reds, are expected to pay the lion's share. A week ago last Saturday, for instance, the Reds play- ed to 32,000 admissions at the Polo grounds. The total receipts amounted te more than $25,000. Hence the commission secelved as its § per cent. share about $1,260. The Yankees also will contribute generously inasmuch as they have drawn larger crowds this year than were pald for 30,350 admission on ever. The Athletics as an example, May 29 and 30 and June 1 at the Po- lo grounds, which netted more than $1.600 for the commission. If the weather is pleasant on the Fourth, next Saturday, and on Labor Day, the fund will be materfally increased. It is not known how the cemmission will spend this money, but it is sur- mia::’nll:‘l‘lueolltwfll{ b:on-udto de: expenses to ctions and damage by pressing injun suits against the Feds. Sines 1905 the commission has been accumulating another big fund In the shape of 10 per cent. of the world" series receipts. In this way $18 000 has been collected, out of which the expenses of the commission have been paid, leaving a balance of about $100,000, which will be added to the new war fund. It can y seen, therefore, that Organized in- tends to be well equipped for the fu- ture, in spite of the general belief that the Feds have already run their race. CAMERA SHOWS HARVARD WON BOAT RACE. Considered the Greatest Struggle Ever Witnessed on the Thames. ‘The photographic exposition which the meving picture camera has re- cently revealed in relation to the Yale-Harvard finish at New London is a demonstration that should be seri- ously considered. and is a most im- portant innovation in the solution of questions that carry with them the element of uncertanity and doubt. The judges say that Yale won by a 1-5 of a second: that is, allowing 4 seconds to a boat’ length of 61 feet, which In measurement would be 15.35"'(“& to a second, and one-fifth crossed the line at the finish on June 19.

If there was ever an exhibition of the old Yale spirit, ginger and grit, it was right there all right. Yale barely crossed the line of finish, and there blew up. Harvard’s men re- mained upright. It was the greatest struggle ever contested at New London, and the race is now questioned. The judges of- ficlal verdict said Yale first. The cam- era, which can make no mistake, shows Harvard as the victor. How- ever, the judges were not invited in their official capacity to witness this regatta for their health, but to pass judgment. They have done so, and their decision must stand irrespective of any camera otherwise. CLOSE RACE FOR FEDERAL LEAGUE PENNANT First Division Teams Are See-Sawing —Teams Well Balanced. The remarkable closeness of the |y Federal league race was strikingly il- lustrated by the fact that during the past week Buffalo held the lead for a day, Baltimore recaptured it for 24 hours, Chicago held it for two days, Buffalo dropped to fourth place, and then Indianapolis shot to the top. These four teams are now so closely bunched that each day may witness a change from first to fourth place. Meantime the four teams of the sec- ond division are also equally well bunched. And this quartet is so close- 1y upon the heels of the first division Quartet that for each and every one of them not only a first division birth | was but also the lead, is possible with any kind of a sustained spurt, But so well equalized is the playing strength of this league that no one teams seems to be able to deveiop.or secure suf- ficient strength to pull away from its fellows, now that first St. Louls and then Baltimore, have beem brought back to the bunch. It would be a pity to break up such a race with the su- perfluous strengthening of "any one eam, or even several teams, by th injection of captured star players, and it 18 both a blessing in disguise and a tribute to the general quality of the players in this new league 'that every successful capture to date has falled to appreciably strengthen the club which pursued the star-plaver phantom. Well balanced teams and not individual stars make close races, which alone can create and retain public interest, and as a rule, the sea- son of a ciub is made or marred by its position in the race and not by the number of etar players in its team The trouble with the Federal league appears to be undume impatience with the necessarily slow progress in the matter of popularizing itself, and its delusion that money alone will accom- plish what the other leagues have been able to secure only by patient industry and steadfast perseverance. In the matter of quickly establishing itself in short order the Federal league has ‘broken all records in league building, not ever excepting the Players’ league in 1890; but beyond that nothing will { avail except the kindly aid of Father Time.
