In the International Athletic Con-
test in London,
OXFORD 51-2 EVENTS, YALE, 8 l-2.

Captain Hickois, bitterly disappointed
over tho Result. Says the Americans Did
Not DO as Well as They Did In the Trial
Events.
LONDON, July i7-Despite the love of
fair play, of which the English are wont
| to boast, the crowds which witnessed the
international athletic contests between
the Oxford and Yale teams on the Queen
| Club grounds yesterday were generally
most unfairly partisan. or course in the
| box where the American ambassador and
a large number of prominent English
men were gathered the Englishmen made
a show of clapping their hands when a
Yale man was successful and Mr. Bayard
was equally careful to applaud the sue
cesses of the Oxford men, but everywhere
| else the most intense jealously was mani
| tested In front of what was known as
| Nale's pavilion, which was supposed to
| be reserved for Americans, a crowd Of
well dressed men and women gathered,
and when the little knot of Yale men gave
| the college cheer many Of these people
/ would turn round and make insulting re-
marks.
/ "rhey call themselves gentlemen"
/ scorutully remarked "a lady in the Ameri-
can party and vixen Yale won some
! events and her partisaus were rejoicing, a
| burly Buti~her yelled Remember that
! the Britannia stat the Vigilunt six times.
! None of these remarks were made good
| naturedly, but with the most intense pas
| sion. The scene at the end expressed the
whole feeling While poor Pond, who
ran one Of the pluckiest races ever seen,
was lying in his friend S arms the Oxouian
| who had saved the English from being
tied, was being borne triumphantly to the
| pavilion, men and women following, with
| faces adame, and running and yelling in
maddeuing crowds.
Messrs. l1iCkok, of the Yale team, and
| Fry, Of the OXfords, were interviewed by
| the Associated Press correspondent after
the games. Fry was very happy He said
! the Oxford team was delighted with the
| Yale athletes. He thought the Americans
| had not done their best, and certainly
were not up to the record. This was be
cause they were over trained, while the
| Oxford men had not reached their best
form because they were under trained.
He said further that, although it was diff
ficult to induce the Oxford men to train
in the summer time he was determined,
|
turn match with Yale in 1895 He hoped
that the athletes of the two universities
could meet annually.
Hickok said he was bitterly disap-
pointed, not so much because the Yale
team were beaten as because the men did
not do as well as they did in the trials.
81 have thrown the hammer" he said,
"over l25 feet, but today | could not ex-
ceed 10 feet However, there is no use
looking for reasons. They got there first
and we were beaten. They are "A splen-
did lot of fellows and there is nothing to
regret but the result"
