coaches who are here with the vaSous
crews agree today that Yale has not been
sufficiently seen to allow judgment of her
work. The short mile row of last night
when daylight was waning was mere pad
ding. and as Coach Ward of Pennsylvania
said this morning. No living man could
detect what the style of rowing was by
yesterdays exhibition"
Coach Cook seemed to realize that the
Yale crews were being closely watched. and
took advantage of the roughness of the
water to order them back to the boat house
after they had padded over a mile strip
MI. Cook has Joined the colony of skeptics
about the tide conditions for the big var
sfty race. He says he believes that the
race should not be rowed il the water Is at
all rough.
Referee Meikelham. however. viii be the
sole judge of that. and at present is firm
In MS intention of starting the race n the
hour named il the conditions are at all "a
vorablc.
So far this week there have been very
few hours Of the day when the river has
been smooth. When there were not white
caps raised by the wind, there were long
heavy tide swells, that are very dangerous
for the boats, particularly the paper shells.
cornell has had to have a man down from
the Waters boat factory to patch the new
paper shell. because of a strain to one side
caused by taking swell head ON. Coach
Courtney is very much worried for fear
that the boats will be inca pacitated. Not
many wagers will be laid on the freshman
race tomorrow. but there will be heavy
betting upon the race on Friday. Last
year Mr.. Balm, the hotel proprietor. held
over $4,000 in trust for various bettors.
and anticipates that fully twice that
amount will be wagered. due to the addi-
ton of Yale to the racing colony. The ma
jority of the betting men here and the
boating experts believe the freshman race
will result:
Yale. Cornell. Harvard. and the varsity
race-Cornell, Harvard, Yale.

vestigating a case of malicious mischief
which involves the smashing of memorial
window in st. Dominic's Church In South
Washington. Saturday night between II
and II o'clock Father Spencer, who was in
his room on the second floor of the rectory
heard the noise made by the stone coming
in contact with the glass, ana, looking out
the window, he saw two young men re-
treating. 1t is not suspected by the police
that there was any attempt at robDer ry
The window had been put in the church by
Capt. Harry Johnson. who is a member of
the excise board. and the police think the
window smashing was done because of
some grievance against him. One police
man said he thought that some one whose
license had been rejected was probably re-
sponsible for the affair. Father Spencer
cannot identify the young men, who he
thinks were not more than twenty years
old.

The Morality of Prize Fight Pictures

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Is not the proposed statute against the
exhibition of prize fight pictures too much
like the old puritanical blue laws? With
the full approval of nearly all good citizens
prize fighting itself Is prohibited in every
state in the Union except one. The chief
business of the legislature of that state
seems to have been to create a sports
mans paradise" Nobody expected any
thing better of Nevada. Her star in the
galaxy of states has been steadily waning
for years But a prize fight is one thing
and a picture of it is quite another thing
The Star asks this question: IF pictures
of prize fights may be exhibited why not
pictures of cock fights, dog fights, bull
fights and SO forth?' Please allow me to
state that such pictures are exhibited, and
in first-class places, too. In the Corcoran
Art Gallery there Is picture of bloody
bull fight, and it attracts great deal of at
tention. 1t is work Of art, and imagine
that objections to it would receive very
little attention.
Kinetoscopic pictures are not works of
art of the same kind, but they are artistic
and very interesting scientific studies. Pic
lures of duels. murders and other crimes
have never been considered immoral In
stead Of having a demoralizing influence
they inspire horror and disgust. The whole
question as to these pictures seems to be
one of good taste rather than morals.
