NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June 29.-The
eleventh annual eight-oared race be-
tween the university crews of Yale and
Harvard was rowed this afternoon over
the Thames river course, four miles
straightaway. and was won by Yale by
twenty-four lengths. Time, 20:10.
Harvard's time, 21:14. The series of
races between these two colleges now
stands six to five in favor of Yale.
Yale's time to-day is the fastest ever
made on the river.
When the word was given to start
both took the water at about the same
time. 1t was soon seen, however, that the
Yale crew were much the best oarSmen,
as they led almost from the start
and rowed away from their
adyersaries with perfect ease.
The Harvard crew were somewhat de-
mOralized in their efforts to make
the best possible showing, and they
spluttered and splashed In their earnest
endeavor to cling as closely as possible
to the Yale crew. while the Yale crew
rOwed with perfect harmony of motion
and apparent ease, that their oars were
not seen to make a splash.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 29.-For the past
week Sam Morton has been wearing an
all wool and yard wide smile that has
threatened to make permanent crack
in his features. At the end of the
fourth inning to-day the crack became
permanent when four of his pets crossed
the plate with earned runs. And now
Sam is wondering how he will reduce
the fracture in his face for the Milwau-
KEGS tied the game as follows: In the
first inning Hanrahan got first Oh balls.
Stole second and reached third on Mills
base hit. In the fifth Mori-
arity led off with single, fol-
lowed by duplicate from Long
Hanrahan's double, Lange's single,
Hengle's sacrifice to center and Schoe-
nech's double. This agony ended with
four earned runs. The Mllwaukee's
scored in the second on Schoeneck's
muff of Lange'S throw of Cusick's
grounder, a passed ball, Pettit's single
and McCauley's wild throw to second,
followed by Mills ringing single to right
field. The net product was two rms.
in the eighth Forster made a single,
took second on McAleer's sacrifice and
scored Oh Moriarity's muff of Strauss
easy fly. In the ninth Petty reached
first on force-out hit, second on Mills
single. Each were advanced base on
a passed ball, and the game was tied on
Forster's corker to right. Game was
called at the end of the tenth to enable
the Milwaukees to catch train.

Just at the tail end, but they squeezed
through and come out on top. When
they went to bat in the ninth inning,
they had made just two little hits off
Winkleman and one solitary run,

luck and Umpire Power came to the
rescue and, after the former had started,
the latter put in his work and the bat
terS did the rest. The score was tied
again in the eleventh. and then
the game was won by horse
play in the field. st. Paul did the
winning and ended the series, for which
every Flour City ball crank will return
thanks. ST. Paul made one run ON the
first, on CarrollS scratch run, which
