YALE WINS.
Defeats Harvard and Cornell I'm the
intercollegiate noarRace.

intcrcoticKtutc bOntituce.
Poughkeepsie. N. Y, June 24.--Three
crews of freshmen on the Hudson
Wednesday evening smashed to smith
Greens all previous records for fresh
men on two-mile course and put one
of the hottest intercollegiate races ever
witnessed in this country. A crew of
sturdy Yale freshmen rowed the two
mile course in minutes 1917 seconds;
a trihe lighter crew of Harvard fresh
men fought them every inch of the
way and finished n trifle over two
lengths behind them in 0:26h, and the
Cornell freshmen. whose college record
is that none of its freshmen crews has
ever been beaten before, finished a
length behind Harvard in 0:29H.
While the conditions here are better
for fast time than they are upon the
Thames, and while, therefore. some al
lowance should be made for the much
better exhibition. the days race was a
very remarkable one, all three OF the
crews having lowered the record, the
last crew in the race--Cornell--doing
so by l1h seconds. All three of the
crews used every pound of power in
their boats Mt every stage of the two
miles and each crew at some period Of
the race was in the lead. None OF the
crews seemed distressed when they fin
ished, but Yale was decidedly the fresh
est of the three.
The best previous record for two miles
was 0:41, made by the Columbia fresh
men crew OF "a at New London, in 1921.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

-Four generations awheel is what tho
little village of Bellport, N. Y, pre-
sents TO tho cycling world. The veteran
of tho four, Mr.. 0. II. p. Robinson, is
sc years old, and tho youngest, his
-grandchild, Eugene Davis, is aged
6 years. Tho octogerarian cyclist is
probably the Oldest cyclist III New York
state, and although not an l.. a. w.
mau he is IL firm believer in its objects
and an ardent advocate of good roads.
Mr.. Robinson is an inventor. In 1866
tho idea of the ball bearing axle was
presented to him. The idea was suggest
ed to him by tho rolling of some boards
over few shot on his carpenters
bench. He conceived the idea of an
easy running vehicle and experimental
on an ordinary wagon hub. He follow
ed this with four wheels fitted with
his crude ball bearing attachment and
met with great success. Upon the ad-
vice of friends he patented tho idea in
1867, but was obliged to let the matter
fall because of the expense attached in
its further developing. The four wheels
which he made at such great cost as
samples are now used on an emptying
barrel cart and do excellent service. Ar
thur Bowen. an Englishman, came
across Mr.. Robinsons idea and ulti-
mately developed it into what is now
used on all bicycles.
Mr. Robinson built q wooden ouadri-
cycle three years ago which is pccul-
iarly constructed affair. 1t does not
appear cumbersome, however and Mr..
Robinson rides it with case. New
