CORNELL AND HARVARD.
Comments on the Recent Athletic Con-

Comments on the Recent Athletic Con-
tests Agreement.
A prominent faculty member of the Cor
Eell Athletic Council said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press: THE step
We have taken is upon Harvard's motion
and is the result of prolonged negotiations
between the two councils. In behalf of
our council, / would say that the new ar
rangement will in no wise interfere with
the existing relations with the University
of Pennsylvania either in athletics Or
aquatics. / myself believe that the agree
ment will be of incalculable benefit to
both the universities from more than an
athletic point of view, and Will strengthen
the friendly relations that Cornell and Har-
ward bear for one another as an outcome
of their foot ball game. AS to Yale, be
Heve that her old conservative spirit and
exciusiveness, ,as shown particularly against
Cornell, will have to give way to a true
sportmanslike recognition of the latter's
merits.'
The news Of Harvard's agreement oc-
casioned much surprise in New Haven
Yale'S leading athletic lights are in doubt
as to whether or not this is forerunner of
the severance of relations between the blue
and the crimson. Many students think
that sincs Yale will not meet Harvard on
the grdiron this fall the latter intends to
retaliate by refusing to meet the former in
base ball and in rowing.
There was quite a stir in Cambridge when
Prof. Ames ANNOUNCED that Cornell had
accepted Harvard's proposition. Nearly
every one who heard the news thought
1t must have some bearing on Harvards S
athletic relations with Yale and POSSIBLY
indicated that all dealings with the New
Haven college had come to an end. The
athletic committeeman would not commit
themselves on this point but it is under
stood that there is no intention of making
a league with Cornell that will be at all
exclusive of other colleges.

Umpire Miah Murray has explained how
Griffin of the Brooklyns recently caught
him mapping, and caused him to give a
wrong decision regarding Donovan of the
Pittsburgs. Says he:
1T was in the game between Brooklyn
and Pittsburg which Pittsburg protested
on account of my decision. You will re-
member that, with Donovan on second
base, 1 called time account of rain.
When play was resumed Donovan walked
directly back to second base without touch
ing first base. Griffin. who had been por-
ing over the book of rules during the in
termission, touched Donovan with the ball
as he stood upon the bag and then started
toward me. AS soon as 1 saw him coming
l knew that l was up against something
new.
which says that base runner is out ii
when forced to return to a base ne fails to
touch the intervening base. l knew at the
time that This was not right and felt that
there was another rule somewhere In the
book covering the point l had no time to
look for it, though, and gave the decision
according to Grlttin's rule, at the same
time telling Beckley to protest the game
On the way from the grounds l looked over
the book and found that my decision had
been wrong. The very next section, which
happened to be on the next page, was the
one that Griffin ought TO have shown me,
but didn't. This says that the base runner
when play is resumed after me has been
called, must touch, the, BIZ he occupied
before touching thesneAt base
Il Immediately wrote to President Young
telling him that l was wrong in giving the
decision the way I did, and supporting
Pittsburgs protest The decision had moth
ing TO do with the, result of the game,
however. for there Iwere two out at the
time, and the next man fled out Ulti-
mately Pittsburg was badly beaten. sup

LAZZARONE lTtLE WINNER.
An Outsider Captures the Suburban
HaMlicaD,

Lazzarone won the Suburban Handicap
Saturday at Sheepshead Bay at mile and
a quarter in 2O7 40. Hamilton rode him
at 11o pounds. Sir Walter Ooggett, l20
pounds, top we!ght) was second; Song and
Dance, an outsider, with Griffin up at 30
pounds, was third; Domino, with Taral al
LIB, the betting favorite, was fourth, and
Rubicon and Declare also ran.
Declare led a the start, but Song and
Dance soon took the lead and led to the
hVe-furlong pole, when Sir Walter went to
the front, Domino remaining third in easy
striking distance OF the leader. At the
three-quarters Domino took second place,
Rubicon having moved up ahead of Song
and Dance. Then Lazzarone was sent out.
He cut down Declare and then Song and
Dance, and got into fourth place at the
seven-eighths pole. Rubicon was only a
neck iE front of him, Domino only a head
further er'away, while Doggett was working
on Sir Walter, two lengths in front of all.
Sir Walter WINS was the cry.
Look at Lazzaronev was the alarm
down the stretch. He was coming after
Sir Walter like whirlwind, and poor
Domino was now completely used up. Laz-
zarone left him as if he were standing still.
Lazzaro ne passed the wire a length and
half in front of Sir Walter, and in the last
few jumps Song and Dance took third
place.

Lively ScrinsmaGes Between Expert

The game of polo which was to have
been played at Chevy Chase Saturday be-
tween mixed teams of Fort Myer troopers
and club men did not take place owing
to the absence of some of the players.
The large crowd of spectators were enter
taiBed, however, by practice play, which
resulted in interesting contests. The long
grass interfered with the work to con-
siderable degree. In the first interval Mr..
Harry Earle played against Lieut.. Short
and Mr.. Lewis Earle. and owing to his
better mount won the goal in five min
u:es. Mr.. Harry Earle was reinforced by
Mr.. Lindsey during the second interval,
playing against the other two, and they
made goal in six and half minutes. The
brothers Earle played against Mr. Lindsey
ard Lieut.. Short in the last period and
won in three minutes and a half.
During the last period Mr.. Lewis Earle,

LATE SPORTING NEW S
SENATORS HAVE DONE WELL.

Won Two-Thirds Oftthe Games With
Western Teams Here.
The first series of s,games between the
eastern and western clubs in the east will
be brought to an end tomorrow. Out of
35 games the eastern clubs have won 63
and lost 80. When the clubs came east
Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago and Cleve-
land were in the lead in the order named,
with Philadelphia and New York tied for
fifth place, with percentage of .524 each,
and Boston and Baltimore on even terms
for seventh place, with a percentage of
500 each. Since then the standing of the
clubs has been greatly. altered and eastern
clubs today occupy two of the leading
positions.
Boston and Baltimore have done the best
work. The former by winning thirteen out
of fifteen games has advanced from sew
enth to first place, and Baltimore, by Sc
curing twelve victories out of sixteen
games, has jumped from seventh to second
place. Washington succeeded in passing
st. Louis by securing ten victories to five
defeats, and has a tight hold tenth
place. Cleveland held on to fourth posi-
ton, although dropping in percentage from
.621 to .591, while Brooklyn, although win
ming eleven out of sixteen games and gain
ing in percentage from .3S4 to 800. could
not gain any better rank.
Outside of Louisville, which still has
cinch on last place. the other clubs took a
tumble. Pittsburg fell from first to third
in position and from ia to 900 in per-
centage; Cincinnati from second to sixth
and from .667 to .535, respectively, and Chi
cago from third to fifth and from .6,3 to
556, respectively. Philadelphia won eight
out of sixteen games from the eastern
clubs, a worse record than was made by
any of the other home clubs, but by win
ming game from New York on May %.
one day after the intersection series in
the east was begun, managed to improve
in percentage from $50 to .524, although
dropping from fifth to seventh place. New
York also dropped two notches in the race
and six points in percentage.

ENCOURAGING CORNELL.
An Expert PrOnounces the Crew the
Best of Any From America.


The rowing expert of London, Vanity
Fair" in an article commenting on the
performance of the Cornell crew, now in
England, and which has already rowed
within four seconds of the English record.
says: THE Cornell men have a capital and
very elastic recovery, which many of the
British crews would do well to initiate
Their bodies work squarely, their backs are
straight and there is no slouching at the
finish of their stroke. If they had more
length of reach and made more use of their
bodies for swing, they would be very for
mldable; but unless they cast in a
stronger mold than former American crews
that have visited England they will fall off
greatly when their piston action slide be-
comes weak. The Columbia four which
won the visitors cup in 1878 rowed a
longer stroke than any of their American
competitors before or since, yet even they
were short in respect of swing. The weak
point of the Harvard four which came over
In 1859 was their want of recovery, which,
however, is the least of the faults of the
Cornell crew. In the meantime, it is sufYi-
cient to say that the Cornell men give bet
ter promise of speed and staying qualities
than any American crew that has visited
England
1t is singular that no comparison is made
with the four sent by Cornell to Henley in
1881. and which rowed the Thames and
London Rowing clubs which the Columbias
failed to meet. The Cornells Tapped these
two famous crews In race from Putney

THE DEFENDERS NEAsuREMENrs
Ban of Secrecy HIS at Last Been Re-

moved.
The ban of secrecy has been removed and
the exact dimensions of the new American
cup defender are for the first time made
public. They are as follows: Length over
all. from extreme Bowlato the outer edge
of the taffrail. as measured with a steal
tape line, 122 feet inches, or feet
inches shorter than the overall length of
the Vigilant load-water line. 50 feet II
inches, beam. % feet 3-4 inches; freeboard
from water line to top of rail, feet 3
inches; sheer l foot = inches. The draught
has not been fully ascertained as yet, but
will come very close to Is feet IL inches
As can be seen by these figures, the over
hangs are not near as long as those of the
Vislant. The idea of having such short
overall length compared with the water
line length was afterthought.
The question of having the after ends
pulled out into a very small stern piece
like the pattern of the Vigilant was at first
considered, but when it was deemed best
to have large stern piece the length over
all was consequently cut down.
The figures Of the beam are in line with
the statement of Mr.. Iselin a short time
ago. when he said that the beam would
measure nearer to twenty-three feet than

to twenty-four feet. Instead of the after
end of the water line being close to the
top of the r,dder, as in the case with the
Vigilant. 1t runs out beyond it over ten
feet
Judging from these figures, the stern
must certainly bear strong resemblance
to the 20-raters, Isolde and Niagara, with,
nf course, a larger form at that end. to
correspond with the other part Of the hull.
