The Sport That Kills.

The victory of Yale over Harvard in
the annual boat race was a great spec
tacular and sensational athletic event
but it again furnished proof that this
form of contest is killing one for
those engaged. The Harvard stroke
collapsed half mile before the finish
and was unconscious for four hours
and several others had to be lifted from
the shell and carried to their quarters.
1t was the same in the freshman race,
earlier in the day, when several of the
Harvard oarsmen tainted or collapsed
at the finish. and required medical aid.
The Yale boys We're not in such dis
tress but the reports say they were 'all
pumped OUT and clean gone" This
is the familiar thing in the great boat
races. 1t is a physical strain Of which
outsiders cannot conceive, and its cX-
tent is shown by its effects on vigorous
athletes. hardened and given enormous
endurance by the constant training of
many months.
We do not hear of this sort of thing
in other forms of athletic competition.
1t is unknown in football or baseball
and in track events it is only rarely
heard of in a long distance run. or
course, it is only human to admire and
applaud the oarsman who has the pluck
and determination to pull until every
ounce of power is gone from his body
and he falls forward limp and uncon-
scious. 1t is the do or die" spirit
whose development is one of the in
estimable benefits of athletics. But II
is too much of good thing when col
lege boys are called upon to carry
athletic competition to the extent indi-
Gated by the results of last Thursday :
boat race. Such Il strain and such
complete exhaustion can only have an
evil effect upon the whole system of
the oarsman. .a-r go s.t.
1t would be a pity to do away with
that thousands of spectators should
witness the distressing scenes of physi-
cal collapse which We're made so promi-
nent in every account of the great
rowing event of the year. Would it
not remedy the evil to cut the race in
two. and make its length two miles
instead of four? 1t may be argued that
the crews would only work so much
the harder on the shorter distance and
the strain would really be as great. But
on the track man never falls eX-
hausted at the end of a 100 yards or 22O
yards dash, while such thing is not
uncommon in the half mile or mile
runs two mile race would be a
satisfactory test of skill and power,
and would not result in so many faint
ing and pumped" oarsmen.

 Selling orders from Wall street and the unsettled situation on the stock exchange all served to increase the uneasiness of holders in local circles, and to enthuse the bear faction.

 There were several periods of steadi~ess on furries of profit making by less reliant shorts. On the decline New Orleans and other southern interests sold the fall and winter options. Commission houses ap- peared to be in possession of more busi- ness than in weeks, the bulk of which went to the short sde Prominent export concerns were the leading buyers of the present crop months.

SHORT SELLING BY BEARS

New York, May 12.-The tone of the trad Ing in stocks was feverish and uncertain today and the disposition to sell was stlll evident There was an effort to support some stocks and the short selling by the bears was followed by buying to cover con- tracts Missouri Pacific was lifted at one time about point above last night, carry ing the railroad list with 1t.
