There was only small betting and small odds, Har- vard usually favorite at 6 to 4, and Harvard men arguing that it ought not to be a bit more than 6 to 5. BOTH CREWS HAVE CLEAN RECORD THIS BEASON. Lack of betting didn't affect the size of the crowds and the excite- ment. No boat race ever drew more people to New London. Promise of food weather and a hot finish brought every Harvard or Yale grad- wate or “sympathiser” who could pay for gasoline or buy a railroad ticket and take a day off. There were more yachts than in former years, because the intercollegiate races at Poughkeepsie were not scheduled for the following day, mak- ing the shift of scene a hardship for those who wanted .to see both events, ‘There were more automobiles, be- cause half a dosen autos grow now where only one grew a year ago. And there were more arrivals by train becduse—well, because Yale and Harvard rowed a great race last year and finished so close together that the oMclals first it to Harvard and then changed their decision and an- nounced Yale winner, This is the forty-ninth Harvard- Yale regatta, and both Yale and Har- vard orews go to the starting line with clean records, Neither has suffered & defeat during the season. unusual for Harvard, for ‘unit thie year the Cornellians have taken their Measure with monotonous regularity. This spring Harvard has beaten Cor- r @ trick in ev - ter shape than the Eile, Leal ale oarsinen opened their seasoi April 8, defeating Pennsylvania in A one and five-sixteenths mile race in 7 minutes and 66 seconds. Yale beat Cornell @nd Princeton twelve days later in a one and seven-eighths mile race on Carnegie Lake, winning by a few feet from Cornell in % 7.5. Princeton was third, Harvard's first race was at Annapo- lis, and Harvard beat the Middies ly in one and thre nth miles in 6,52, Then came the win over Cor- nell, two miles in 10.41 2-5, Harvard won by a boat length, There has been no change in the coachi systems at Harvard and Yale = thi season. Nickalla has coached crew in fall and spring and has kept the same men in the boat, so that they have become ac- customed to working together. Wray, at Cambridge, has made a few more shifts, but the men who row to-day have been together in the boat for some time, ray has had the ad- vantage of havin number of vet- es to rely upon, especially bers of the “second eight” of last year, which after winning from Yale went to nd_and captured the Grand Challenge Cup at Henley, Both Yale and Harvard think their crew this year the best that ever wore the college colors. With fair weather conditions the race should be fast. The varsity four-mile race will be fashioned $50 and $100 risks.

Humiliation They Suffered at Hands of Cartoonist Early in Season. By Bozeman Bulger. LBERTUS PERFECTO DEMA- REE, sometimes pitcher and at other times cartoonist, had in mind the drawing of a series of comics, showing what he thought of his old teammates when facigg them as an enemy. It even struck his editor as being a fine idea which, In- cidentally, is a hard way to strike an editor at times, But there will be.no cartoon this time because the situation doesn't strike our hero as being ao terribly funny. In addition to losing a ball game, Albertus Per- fecto will lowe just one day's pay 10 his artistic pursuit. Hear him: “I did want to depict my impres- sions of the Giants and I still want to aay and draw what I think of) them, but a newspaper can go just so far and be sent through the malls I'm stopped by the jaw.

Moran js right: “How are you going to figure a team like that?” Among other upsets was the return of George Burns to left field just to Prove that the sun didn’t affect his batting eye after all. Two days ago McGraw switched Robertson over into left just to give George a rest. Yes- terday they switched back after tw: innings and Burns immediately pro- ceeded to get himself two singles and, a two bagger, steal two bases and score three runs. As a substitute for Lobert, Brain- ard didn’t prove a wonder at fielding, but the young was quite hefty ick. Brainard, by the way, o play on that corner for as Lobert injured hi self in the side during batting prac- tice before yesterday's game. Once he gots settled down McGraw's young utility man ought to be a pretty nifty third-baser. His errors in the first game can be excused on the grounds that everybody else was doing it and, maybe, he thought It the style. Now ‘that the Phillies have gone until September, we have the World's Champion Braves with us for a spell. When the Champs are gone the Giants will also retire in favor of the ¥i Ri no that Capt.

There is a lot of interest in the jun- for varsity race, which promises to be the most thrilling of all events staged on the programme, as each of three crews entered, Columbia, Cornell and Pennsylvania, is abso- lutely confident of winning and each eight has the confidence of its coach in its ability to be first over the Lae. The same situation arises in the) betting by the supporters of these three colleges, The advance guard of students who slipped in town to-day had @ talk with the oarsmen they knew. As a result they all be- gan playing their respective junior eights to win and to such an extent that instead of betting against one another they began pooling their coin, winner to take all, This is the favorite bet at this time and it is a sporting proposition, for there isn’t an unprejudiced man following the crews who knows which one of the; three is going to win.
