From Stage. -, - -
The sentiment at Yale does not seem to
be In favor of accepting Joseph Puiitzsr's
proposal to pay the expenses of thaxinnar,
OF the Yale Harvard boat race to England
to row the champion eight there. The an
nouncement of the offer In the World has
revived little the talk about an interns-
tional race. .'-:4 49,. .
Although neither Yale nor Harvard has
yet taken an action on Mr.. Pulitzer's offer
1t is quite improbable that either univer-
sity will accept it. The offer Is practically
q gigantic advertising medium, despite the
polite manner in which it is made. Al
though the Yale navy ia poor, it cannot
afford to compromise its reputation or do
anything which might detract from its
glory should 1t be successful in the coming
race. Captain Hartwell of last years crew
says that 1t is highly improbable that either
or Harvard will consider the Worlds pro-
posal. He says that In his opinion OK
ford's refusal of the Yale-Harvard ehal-
lengs was final as far as a race this year Ia
concerned. She was willing to row Yale
In 81 and again in i'92, but the fact that
she refused go Internationally this year
indicates that race Is out of the question,
whether 1t bs rowed in England or in
America.
1t has also become known that "Bob"
Cook and Mr.. Adee are expected in New
Haven this week and that the object of
their visit is to discuss an offer of an ex-
actly similar nature, which has been made
by Yale graduate travelling in Europe,
but whose name Is withheld. Such an
offer would of course take precedence over
Mr.. Pulitzer's, but it could, of course,
only be accepted in case Yale defeats Har-
ward, and this race Is liable to keep Yale'a
hands full for the time being. It is said
that 1t will cost at least S15, 600 or $40, OOC
to send crew across the Atlantic, as such
race would necessitats at least eight
weeks training and occasion an enormous
outlay for living and travelling expenses.
The interest in boating has taken or
wonderful proportions in this county this
year. The proposed international race Ii
the topic of conversation at Chicago. Be
side this the Chicago navy ia arranging fol
regatta at the worlds fair. The Mime
apolis enthusiasts have secured the Cor
nell-University of Pennsylvsnia race. Th.
regatta at Chicago will take place on LAX,
Geneva, q summer resort about seventy
miles out of Chicago, from August 10 tc
%. Delegates have already visited Yal,
and Harvard, but both universities hav.
refused to send their Fights to Chicago I'M
lees perchance Oxford and Cambridg,
should decide to come, and this Is no
probable. The Chicago people, however
have sent representatives. to England AND
yet hope to get the great Fights of the two
countries together. The fact is that neithe
Yale or Harvard has been very much i'm
pressed with the business methods of tn,
Chicago oarsmen. They have made grea
promises and done deal of talking in tn
papers, but the chances of their getting
the Englshmen over here are very poor Il
say the least.
The Law School team has received 81
invitation from A. A. Stagg to enter tn,
National Intercollegiate Base Ball tourns
ment which is to be held in Chicago at tn
| worlds fair this summer. Twelve mel
| will be allowed to go and all their expense
paid for three weeks. The Management
will probably accept If the schedule can b
| satisfactorily arranged.
Brown university was to have plsyet
the Law School team at the field on Satur
day of this week but Manager Durant hs
cancelled the game ON account of tn
| spring regatta on that day.
