PUTNEY, England. March 25-The

Oxford and Cambridge was rowed to-
day over the usual course, from Putney

though this was regarded as extrava-
CANT. The crews were sent off at
1858 p. m.
Cambridge, winning the toss, took
the Surrey side of the river, which,
with fresh wind blowing, gave the
light blues a decided advantage
Cambridge at once assumed a slight
lead. which it increased to one and a
quarter lengths at the Craven Steps,
about five furlongs from the start.
Just beyond that point. however,
Oxford began drawing up, and at the
Crabtree wharf l mile l furlong and
100 yards from the starting point. was
level with Cambridge. The Crabtree
wharf was passed at 1903.
At Hammersmith bridge, / mile 3
furlongs and 100 yards from the start
ing line, Cambridge had again assumed
the lead by half a length, which was
increased to two and half lengths
al Thorneycroft, some three miles from
the start.
Thence Cambridge continued her po-
sitton, rowed a fine, steady stroke.
while Oxford splashed badly and was
evidently distressed.
When the light blues reached Barnes
bridge, 8 miles 4 furlongs and 80 yards
from the start, they were four lengths
ahead, and the race was practically
over for the Oxfords were going to
pieces and rowing unsteadily.
The Cambridge crew finished strong
four lengths ahead of Oxford Two of

crossed the line. The official time was
81 minutes 4 seconds.

PRINCE ARTHUR MUST
ACCEPT THE DUKEDOM
His Withdrawal From Eton Shows
That He Will Succeed to SAKE
Coburg and Gotha.

NEW YORK, March Pa special
cable to the Journal from London says:
The withdrawal of the young Prince
Arthur of Connaught from Elton be-
fore the conclusion of the term clearly
foreshadows the fact that he is des
tined to be the heir of the Duke of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The result of
the family council at Cimiez. where the
Queen has consulted all three of her
sons, has evidently been the determina-
ton that Prince Arthur shall not abdi-
cate the succession in Gotha in favor
of the next in line, the delicate little
Duke Of Albany.
Prince Arthur is a manly lad to the
backbone. He does not like giving up
his prospects of a military education
at Sandhurst and a commission in the
British army, of which his father is the
destined commander in chief, but the
regal necessities are paramount. and
the Queen is not likely to regard the

BERLIN CLUBS RUN
EXPRESSLY FOR GAMBLING

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted 1929, by James Cor
don Bennett.
BERLIN, March 25-No sooner had the
first terrible card scandal begun to fade
from memory than we have another.
This time the scene was the Turf Club
where one Of the best known members
has for some tin9e past been netting large
winnings by means of cheating. He is
credited with having won $50 900 marks.
Rather than have a scandal the members
made the offender resign, and he has
gone to the United States.
The truth is that all the clubs in Ber-
lin, with the exception of the Military
Club, in which the Kaiser forbade gam
bling, are run merely for the purpose OF
play. Upon it they exist. 1t is perfectly
useless for his Majesty to prohibit play
in the Military Club if it is tolerated in
all other clubs, good and bad alike, in
which officers are heartily welcome.
These clubs, even if swindlers could not
gain admission. are curse TO Berlin.
