Worcester said to Want the Y~ale-Harvard
Boat Race.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. March SIT was learned
this evening on the best authority that the
Harvard and Yale crew managers are looking
about FOR another racing ground than New
London. owing to the desire Of the Board OF
Trade at that place to make a large reduction
in the sum usually contributed toward the eN-
penses Of the crews. This afternoon two rather
elderly men were in conference with Manager
Mann and Can't. HiRginson at the varsity boat
house; After they had departed the report
spread that they were members o! the Norces-
ter Board Of Trade. who had come 10 Cam
bridge in behalf OF Lake Quinsigamond course
at that city. This course Is at present three
miles long, and by removing q capseway it
could be heightened into a fine four-mile
course. The Worcester Board OF Trade Is said
10 be willing 10 have this change made. pro-
yided the race be assured 10 them for q num-
her of years.
Mann and Hlgginson would give no ipforma-
tIon whatever except that they would sooner
row at Worcester than at New London il the
course could be made right They refused to
say. anything as 10 what negotlati9ns are on
Worcester is that the lake furnishes absolutely
still water and would enable tho coaches 10
finish OF their crews in better shape than
would be possible either at PouGhkcepsie or
New London.

Chess.

Although the American universities have prncti-
oSlly agreed to accept the proposed alterations Of
the Britishers as regards tho eligibility rule for tho
cable chess match between Columbia. Harvard. Yale
and Prnr eton on the one side and oxford and Cam.
bridge on the other side. they will await a reply TO .
letter forwarded by DR., l.. II. Broughton. Jr., on be.
half Of the American uniyersitie-, which vas mailed
on Saturday last. The doctor requested the British
universities TO consider that the match was proposed
for the purpose Of trying the strength Of the Amer.
leans. shown at the last intercollegiate tournament
In this city, and tho combined strength Of oxford
and Cambridge in the interuniyersity match at the
end OF this month. Seeing that the proposed altera-
ton OF the eligibility rule would bar r.. r. Southland.
the Harvard champion, from participating in the
proposed cable match, the original idea OF the chal.
ienge cou q not be carried into effect. However. a
reply by cable Is expected on Wednesday next. and
then the American officials will DO able to decide
matters definitely.

Rupture Between Yale and Brown in Base
ball and Football.

New HAVEN. March S.-Yale and Brown uni
~yersities are suffering Just now from strained
relations in athletics. The two colleges quar-
relied over the guarantee for their third and
decisive baseball game OF the series. which has
tOr years been played at Providence on Memo
rial Day. They were absolutely unable TO
come TO an agreement on the, question and
made other plans for Memorial Day contests.
Cornell will play at Brown. Yale has been try
ing TO get the University OF Chicago to play at
New Haven. but this scheme has Just fallen
through. Yale is now undecided about her
Memorial Day. game. and in consequence the
entire Tale schedule for tho season Is being
held back. II is probable. but not at all GER
tain, that the new nine representing the New
York A. C.. will play at New Haven on that
date.
In football the two universities will fail to
meet next fall. for the first time in six years.
because of a disagreement over both the guar
antee and place for the game The Brown
managers insisted that Yale come to Provi-
dence. and Yale declined, declaring that Brown
must hereafter play at New Haven without any
promise of a return game. This has led Brown
to give up the game with Yale altogether:
Brown has lust arranged a game with Cornell
on the date Yale was to I'LL. This is likely to be
the only game the Cornell team will play in
New England this year. 1t marks the recon
Citation OF Brown and Cornell in football after
a lapse OF several years. In place Of the Brown
game the Yale managers are now irving to
book a contest with the University Of Wiscon-
Sin at the Yale Field on Oct. 81. The game has
been conditionally arranged.
