1t seems that the Weather Bureau has it
in for the Washington Baseball Club, as
it has happened SO often that fair weather
has prevailed throughout the day until

prognosticators have uncorked sufficient
dampness to make the Senators ana the

| the Kentucky ColCnelS and declare they

VARSITY CREWS AT WORK.

College Oarsmeu Making Animated
Scenes on the Hudson.
Poughkeepde, y. Y, June 1S.-With the
exception OF Yale's two Fights, all the
crews which are TO take part in the coming
two weeks boating carnival. are now here,
and from early morning until late in the
evening the Hudson River is alive with
eight-oaTed shells, pair-oared boats, and
tubs, with the shouts OF coaches and cox
SWANS, and with the footing and putting
of steam launches.
After an all nights rain today broke
clear and dry. The surface Of the water
was smooth, and there was every prospect
that some interesting work would be doue
by the crews before night Cornell has
thrown the oaTSmen into a state of hewl-
derment by her work since her arrival
here Yesterday her varsity crew went an
exhibition mile in minutes "a seconds.
They row a hard, snappy stroke, with
plenty If vim. and while their form cannot
be compared to that of the Harvard eight.
they drive their shell through the water
at d remarkably fast gaitin short spurts.
Harvard two crews exhibit by far the
best four of the Fights now here Her
their body work being in perfect unison,
and their blade work being very accom-
plished.
Yale's crew is the dark horse in the
ruce No one here knows exactly what
the oarsmen of Old Eli can do. Not SO
with Yale, however Yale has a little
band of experienced oarslnen here who
carefully take note for her benefit OF
everything that occurs. Bob Cook, up in
New London is Just as familiar through
that medium OF what is going here as if
he were on the spot His licuteuants have
informed him of the form OF the crew,
of their faults and strength He knows
the best time that each crew has made,
and knows Just what the Yale crew has
80 contend with. Consequently, his re-
cent expression of satisfaction at the work
OF his pets may be taken to mean a great
deal more than if he was not in close
touch with IT, work going on at pough-
keepsie.
