YALE DEFEATED MIDDIES.
Dark Blue oarsmen Went Over the
Course in Record-Breakiur Time.

For the first time in three years the colors
of the navy boat crew went down in defeat
before the blue Of Yale Saturday afternoon
at Annapolis, the latter crew winning by
four seconds over the two-mile course In
the record breaking time of 94O1a.
The Yale men were in the pink Of condi-
ton. When the start was made their boat
bounded forward as if impelled by some
unseen power, and, try as they might, navy
never had much show to overtake or pass
them. When the finish line was reached
they were all seemingly fresh but several
Of the middies hung over as If in much dis
tress from their efforts, navy's time being

Under the circumstances the middies

were hustled off to this city to participa te

down for rest during that time. Several of
the men dropped from exhaustion, and Sat

GEORGETOWN WON.
Pennsy Defeated by Timely Hitting in
Last Inning,

Georgetown's famous base ball team took
the nine Of Pennsylvania into camp at
Franklin field Philadelphia. Saturday after
messed on the Philadelphia college grounds
this season, and the $500 persons present
saw Georgetown win out after desperate
finish. The result was In doubt until tho
last inning. when the blue and gray got
home the winning rum
Blewett, the Georgetown twirler, after
pitching a mastery game, won his own
battle by a pretty hit in the ninth inning
after one of his side had been retired.
Devln, who pitched effectively against
Yale, was selected to do the twirling for
the red and blue. and he acquitted himself
in a most creditable manner After the
first inning. Georgetown seemed to have
lost trace of Devlin's curves. The Pennsyl-
vania boy was very effective when men
were on bases, and the column of hits in
the score hardly does the young man
credit for his work. Pennsylvania fought
hard to win, but Georgetown was just bit
too fast for the Quakers. That the visitors
were compelled to fall back on their half Of
the ninth inning to come out victorious
was due solely to a bit of 'the rattles" In
the second inning. when tumble and two
wild throws gave Penn. two runs, tieing the
score, while the hundreds Of students yelled
themselves hoarse.
From that time on until Blewett's hit
won the game the most enthusiastic lover
Of the national game could not wish for a
prettier contest Both sides went out al
most in order, and it looked as though the
game would surely develop into an extra
inning contest, until Georgetown's last time
up, when singles by Golden and Blewett,
and Driscoli's sacrifice brought in the win
ming run.

ToNIGHT's FIGHT.
Cans and Erne Will Battle for Cham
pionship at Fort Erie,

at e O1I G11Ss
Frank Erne, lightweight champion pugi-
list of the world, and Joe Cans Of Bafti-
more will meet at the International Ath-
letic Club at Fort Erie tonight to settle
dispute of supremacy which has been on
since March %, 1900 On that date Erne
was declared the victor over the coIored
boy because the latter received a cut over
the eyes, the blood from which SO blinded
him that it was impossible for him to see
to continue fighting. Erne's head, and not
one Of his gloves, Is said to have made the
cut. and thus the dispute.
Since that time Cans has been on Erne's
trail for another match, but the champion
managed well to avoid him until about
three months ago, when Manager Herford
forced Erne to agree to meet Cans before
one of the clubs in Philadelphia. The bouts
are limited to six rounds in Philadelphia
and. although reluctantly, Erne signed to
spar six rounds with Cans. How Erne
went to Philadelphia on the day of the
fight and then ran away just before 1t was
to have taken place Is we'll remembered
but it caused so much unfavorable COM
ment that Erne found himself in very bad
repute. He offered various excuses, but
Cans simply retorted by agreeing to meet
him any time or place he might select.
Erne even tried to get out of a match
then, but the public would not stand for
such actions from a champion, and after
Cans had conceded everything that Erne
asked the match for tonight was made.
Both men have trained with the utmost
care, and Erne probably harder than for
any match in the last few years.
