How the Difficulty Was Arranged.
TWAS decided that the Decatur deal

the coal the( buy from the Decatur
company. They are left free to pur-
chase the remainder from outside
mines. The threatened strike in Cen
trail Illinois mines is thus averted. The
price will remain unchanged. Outside
operators accused the Decatur opera
tors of desiring to exclude them from
competition, without regard to price or

CREWS AT NEW LONDON.
Yale and Harvard HIVE Less Thnn n
Week for Practice.


GALES FERRY. Conn. June 22.-Yale's
rowing coaches are still keenly disap-
pointed at the failure of their varsity
eight to equal its former record of 20:32
in yesterdays time row over the four
mile course. DR.. Gallaudet, the head coach,
feels that the crew is on the verge of a
slump. and he and Captain Allen are work.
ing tooth and nail to keep the oarsmen
from deteriorating. The crew has shown
a dangerous disposition ever since II came
here to become satisfied with good records
and let them go without trying to I'M
prove them. This fact has led them to
slip back in their rowing form this week.
DR.. Gallaudet said today.
The crew must take brace IL IL ex-
poets to win next week. The boat has not
been on an even keel for two days 1t
halts between strokes. and we are unable
TO get up the speed We want. l believe
that the oarsper have In them the posi-
bilities of much faster time than they are
now rowing. They have, however, only
few more days left to exhibit them
Both the Yale and Harvard varsity
eights have taken a shy at the half-mlle
record on the Thames the last day or two.
1t is 2:26. Yale equaled that figure two
days ago. and yesterday Harvard clawed
into the water for a squirt which broke it
by one or two seconds. The Harvard men
are delighted at distaGcing Yale's time in
this respect. They will tomorrow try to
smash the record the Yale varsity eight
made last Monday in covering the four
mile course in 20:32. That will probably
be the last time row over the four miles
attempted on the Thames before the an
nual races next Thursday
This is Harvards class day in Cambridge
and the coxswains of the Crimson eight
Howe and Wadleigh. have tgone to attend
the festivities. The coxswain work for
both the varsity eight and the varsity
four was done last night and today by

Corcoran Cadets the Victims in n
Tedious Contest On the Diamond


The Government Printing O1i,e team
easily defeated the Corcoran Cadets at
National Park, yesterday afternoon, after
a very tiresome game OF two hours dura-
ton. With Deviin, the star lrst baseman
OF the Georgetown club. who played first
for the Cadets, il was thought they would
be able TO give the printers close game,
but this expectation tailed Of realization.
The trouble was the cadets failed to bat
Wolfe at opportune times. Both pitchers
We're fairly effective, and had they be n
properly supported the contest woL.d have
been closer and more exciting. SpTin ,iIan,
McGillis, and Cronin did the heavy sick
work for the printers, the two latter each
getting twob Dagger. Devlin, for the
cadets. made three OF the seven hits scored
on his side.
The cadets went first to bat and scored
two runs. They scored one in the third,
two in the fifth, and two III the eighth.
The printers got one in the first. three N
the second, and one in the fifth, tying The
score. In the sixth, by timely batting,
aided by errors, they scored four runs, and
in the seventh scored two more, which put
the game beyond uncertainty as to the re-
suit. The following IS the score By Ia
