sumed with cankerous desire to get

the misplaced confidence of some news
into his columns, the public generally
wonders how the writer with the afore
said cankerous desire happened to be-
come afflicted that way.

tuition for many years and will, judged
by the work of Saturday, round up in q
low position in the strife for the inter
collegiate pennant. Far more stronger
do the learned young men of Brunswick
and Bates appear this season.
The Portlands were not called upon to
exert themselves in the least and so one
sided did the score become at each pass
ing inning that the small but faithful
band of rooters were in a hurry for the
game to terminate. A big lead was Sc
cured directly at the start-off and the
margin kept increasing Manager Nc
Guirk and his men made the circuit OF
the bases at least once in every inning a
feat that has not occurred on the Deering
diamond for many years. When the final
turn at bat was at hand, everybody pres
emit had hopes that no more tallies would
be made. But as it happened the great
est run getting of all resulted at this
stage and it required quarter of an hour
before the professionals were retired. The
college boys were so weary at chasing the
balls that their tongues hung out. When
it was all over and dozen runs had beer
secured, calls of train time were indeed
welcome and the students did not muir
muir because they did not have the oppor
tunity to play their half of the inning.
Miller twirled for the coming cham
pions during the first seven innings. He
was perfect engine but purposely let uI
towards the last of his reign and allowed
few hits. Hodsdon was on the slab in
faced him. Nichols caught another
beautiful game, Houle made splendid
catch, DIESEL and Burns covered their
positions in a skilful manner, and the
others also did their work well. Mana
ger McGuirk looked after the initial bag
in faultless style.
The veterans, Coughlin and Polhemus,
showed that they had lost none of their
old time prowess with the stick. They
banged away at the ball with all of the
vigor and accuracy of decade ago.
Dave Coughlin seems as formidable as
when he was Manchester's fine utility
man in S7, while Mark Polhemus can
'twhiff her out" as well as when in the
same season he started with Haverhill
Jack Burns also rattles around the third
cushion as gracefully as when with the
champion Lawrences dozen years ago.
AS the score indicates, runs came thick
and fast and it would be decidedly mo-
notonous to account for all of these score
and half of tallies.
The four baggers Of Polhemus and Pat
terson were on balls slashed over the
right field fence while Miller's homer
flew over the left.

The quarter mile was Waterloo for
Pennsylvania although their flyer pushed
the Crimson to fast time Hollister and
Vincent finished first. and second respec-
lively.
The two-mile events were of little in
terest. Starbuck made a fruitless effort
for a place in the run, but he finished
fourth and Pennsylvania took all the
points with the crackajack Orion an easy
first
The 220 yard dash was terrific one.
Hoffman and Hillary of Pennsylvania
and Denholm and Bigelow of Harvard
qualified for the final heat. It was neck
and neck between Denholm and Hoff-
man down the stretch Hoffman won
out by a small margin.
More than average marks were made
in all the field events. Winslow of Penn
sylvania developed unexpected prowess
in the high jump and took first place
with the splendid jump of feet 3 1-2
inches. The other two places went to
Harvard.
The visitors had things pretty much
their own way in the hammer throwing.
The shot put was an exciting one Nc
Cracker was sure of first. On his last
put Ellery Clarke sent the shot 40 feet
4 1-2 inches, which was an easy place.

Opening of the Racing Season in New
York.

York.
New York, May s.-This was gala
day at Morris park, the occasion being
the opening of the regular racing season
in the state of New York, for the
Aqueduct meeting was nothing more
than prelude to the sport at the popu-
lar West Chester track. The splendid
race course never looked better, with the
track in the very perfection of condition,
fast and moderately hard.
| When Augustus Belmont won the ju-
bilee stakes there was good deal Of ap-
plause. The real interest, however, was
not shown until the Metropolitan was
on, and when the ten starters paraded to
the post all were greeted with plaudits,
no one being more favored than the
other.
Hanwell was first to show up in the
lead, but in an instant Voter flashed in
front of him and in the first quarter
had opened gap of a couple of lengths
and seemed to be DESTROYS of making it
more, nearly pulling Lamley out of the
saddle Hanwell was in second place,
while Taral was In his favorite position
next to the rail, in third place, with
| the favorite Hastings. The Winner was
next and the others were struggling over
fairly close up, although the game Sir
Walter, hero of many a handicap, was
bad last. In the next quarter there was
| little change in the position of the fly
ing squadron. The Winner was not do
ing so well and Sloan was climbing out
on his neck, lying low to avoid any
windage, and the colt was beginning to
feel the impetus, for at the three-quar-
ters' mark, when all were Strengthened
| out, he was close to Hastings, on whom
Iaral had not made a move. 1t was but
few seconds more when they were at
the seven furlong post and the boys who
| were waiting for Voter to come back to
them found there was lot of run left
IN him, and he was a half length
| away with the whole line in sight Then
Iarral went hard at work ON Hastings,
but the weight was telling and the colt
could not gain an inch A jump or two
and Casseopia was passed and for
| fraction of a second he was on level terms
with Voter, but Lamley urged his mount
to the utmost. There was a gain of
foot for the blue and white spots and
the pair hung, neither able to gain an
inch and they passed the judges like q
team. Voter was a short head in front of
The Winner, and how the crowd yelled.
1t seemed as if everybody must have
backed Voter If the noise could be taken
as criterion. The summary:
Metropolitan handicap, one mile-Vic-
tor, 10, Lamley, to and to l, won by
head; The Winner, 115, Sloan, 4 to 1
and 8 to 5, second by three lengths; Cas-
seop1a %, Powers10, to L. and to third.

The Pennsylvania timber-toppers were
completely shut out in the trial heat Of
the 12O-yard hurdle. In the low timbers,
however, it was a different story. Nc
Kibben and Remington of Pennsylvania,
and Morse and Warren of Harvard quail
fed for the final heat. 1t was a hard, fast
race, Morse winning by large margin
over McKibben, and Remington taking
third place.
In the 100 yard dash, after two fast
heats, Robe, Bigelow and Denhelm,
were left for Harvard while Hoffman
was Pennsylvania S sole survivor. The
Philadelphian proved himself an out and

cambridge, Mass, May S-Pennsyl-
wanna and Harvard fought each other to
tie this afternoon on Holmes field in
their annual dual athletic games, each
team scoring total of Sc points At a
late hour this evening, however, Har-
wards claim of a foul by Orion in the
half mile was allowed after five hours
discussion and this gives Harvard the
victory, 81 to 55 points, Lane being given
second place and Fenno, who fouled,
taking third place. Although there were
no records broken, the marks were FAST
almost without exception and every event
was closely contested. No more interest
ing dual games were ever run off than
those today. With the fairest of weather
and fast track, slow time was the ex-
ception and the result was in doubt up
to the last moment.
Harvard had a clean sweep of points
in the quarter and in the high hurdles
while they were shut out by the Quakers
in the mile only. Harvard scored six
firsts, nine seconds and eight thirds, to
Pennsylvania eight frsts, five seconds
and six thirds. The table of points scored
in the IA events is as follows:
