Slight Deviation to the Eastward nj Eel
 Point Probable

Gales Ferry, Conn.,, June IA. - The Yale 'varsity's practice this evening was devoted to spins for short stretches and racing starts with work also by pairs and fours. The showing gave good satisfaction to the onlookers for the boat seemed to go more smoothly than heretofore and these was less slowing between strokes. The lineup was tte same as yesterday
 The freshmen in their practice to- night rowed with much strength, but their form is still somewhat clumsy. Hewitt remained at No. ? in the four oar, neither Ackley nor Sargent going in the boat. The impression among the graduates here grows stronger that the seating of the men in all three of the boats as now arranged, will be permanent, though of course 1t Is still liable to change by the coaches.
 Julian Curtiss arrived from New York tonight and tomorrow in com pany with a representative of the New York board of trade. and the Harvard and Yale mana-ers will go out on the river to set teh flags for the varsity race. It is probable that they will make slight deviation to the eastward from the usual course at the bend off Eel Point

Results of First Days Play Lenders
 Have Close Scores,

| Hamilton, Mass. June IA. At the close of the first. days play in the open golf championship of the United States at the Myopia Hunt club to-day there were at least a dozen of the lead ing professional players in the country who could be said to have a chance at
 one of the eight money prizes. The leader is Alexander Smith of Scotland,
 for three years professional at the
 Washington Park club, Chicago. Who
 may fall by the waysde only to-mor-
 rows play will determine, but tonight
 there is only eight strokes between the
 highest and lowest of these players,
 while the forty or mere other players
 who also took part in the tournament
 are not so very far behind. We'll up
 among the leaders stands Arthur G.
 Lockwood of the Alston Golf club Bos-
 ton, the only amateur in the tourna-
 ment, but who is barred from taking any prize except the first, and then to receive only a gold medal. Lockwood's s play to-day astonShed many of the veterans and while he is not picked to win against such strong aggrega- tion 1t is generally believed that he will not be very far behind the first Win ner. Smiths score at the end of the first 36- holes tonight was 1e4, but Law renee Auchterlonie of the Glen View club, Chicago, was but two strokes over Smith, while Willie Anderson of Pitts field, always a popular player, had total of 16S. The 1899 champion, Willie Smith, brother of to-day's leader, whose score tonight was ITO, is in a good posi- tion to take advantage of the three men between him and Anderson, Stuart Gardner of Garden City, Bernard Nich- ols of Boston and David Brown of the Crescent A. c. of New York With these men must be included as a possi- ble chamoion John Jones Of the local club, Jack Park of Essex county, Or ange, and George Low, of Dykermead- ow, Brooklyn.

BAD ACCIDENT IN DRY DOCK
TRANSPORT INGALLS, SLIPS FROM
 SUPPORTING BLOCKS.
Only One Man Known to Have Been Killed but Quite n Large Number of Others Are Probably Lost-Thirty Italians in the HoId-Their Escape Uncertnin-Mnny W0rkmen Injured

New York, June 15. The United
 States transport Ingalls slipped from
 the blocks supporting her and turned
 over in the balance dry dock at the
 Erie basin, South Brooklyn, at S:30 this afternoon One man is known to have
 been killed and many others injured. vessel and dock at the time. It is sup
 posed that the wreck was thrown from an even keel by ballast improperly plac- ed or by the shifting of the blocks on which she rested, driving the snoring beams through the walls of the float ing dry dock in which she was craded. Besides. the mechanics and other work men who crowded the vessel and dock preparing her for a voyage to Manila there was supposed to be about thirty Italian laborers in the hold of the ship employed in shifting the pig iron bal last.
 While the terrorized and screaming workmen were trying to escape, the dock itself overbalanced by the weight of the ship, turned on it's side and sank
 in fifty feet of water. A number of men were borne down into the water and damned under, and between the wreckage which rose to the surface. How many were caught could not be learned tonight.
 Martin Anderson, a painter was /. Il, ship and killed outright, while others were dragged from the water badly in jured or half drowned and hurried to the hospital. Added to the horrors of tonight was the uncertainty of the fate of the men in the vessels hold. Some managed to get to the dock and leap into the water as the vessel was but it is feared that the ma jority were less fortunate.
 The Ingals, went into dry dock at I1:30 this morning and about $S0,000 was to have been expended on her re- pairs The lock in which she was placed was very old one, having been over fifty years ago. An effort was made to close the gates at he time of the accident, but was un- l successful. No one could be found to- | night who could give any estimate of | he amount of damage the disaster had | ntailed.

Would Like to Do So No Matter Which Boat Wins the Cup Races-Thinlts It Would be Good Sport and n Fine Test

London. June 14.-When the attention of Sir Thomas Lipton was called to the report that his secretary had an nounced his willingness that the Sham ence, if a cup were offered, he replied that he had made no arrangements for such a race, but did not see why he should not do so after his engagement with the New York Yacht club was concluded.
 My first obligation is to the New York Yacht club said he. When that is fulfilled I will feel free to ac- cept other proposals though thus far none has been made to me-
 With regard to the report circulated in the United States that he would not object to race between the Shamrocks across the Atlantic, he said, There is nothing In the supposition that I might do so. I am unable to see any sport in such a suggestion. More than this, I have not yet decided to send Shamrock over. What I would like to do would be to arrange a race with the Constitu- ton across the Atlantic after the chal- lenge races, whoever wins there. This would be good sport and fine test of seamanship.
 T have often heard this or that said as to what could or could not be done if one were in mid-ocean. Why not see? Such a race would be an admira- ble test of the stability of a yacht un- der varying conditions
