ROWING

The hard work of the Yale crews at Gales
Ferry, Conn.,, is over. The early date at
which the crews were brought out in New
Haven and their rapid development makes 1t
necessary that the men should be merely kept
on edge from now until the day Of the race.
Last evening the work of all three crews,
varsity eight and four-oar and the freshman
eight, was very satisfactory to the coaches
though weather conditions were not at all
good. The freshmen and four crews particu-
lary suffered in this respect. - + -
The. four-oar crew went out, about 5 o'clock
and rowed upstream about three miles in
stretches of one mile each, the rowing In
each stretch being quite easy.
The freshman eight in their practice spin
were troubled with rough water, but the
form showed by the crew was quite salts
factory to the coaches. ~.-:. -.
When the varsity eight went out the con-
dtions were somewhat improved The form
shown by the crew was satisfactory.
The Harvard varsity eight took a time row
of a mile anad a half last evening. The
freshman eight, with handicap of three
quarters Of length, rowed with the varsity
for one mile. .-s : :. ~
There was a fair tide favorng the crews
and also a light wind from the southwest.
The varsity was sent off with a stroke be-
tween SO and "a, and soon overcame the
handicap given the freshmen. At the half
mile they were length to the good, rowing
at about 81. The time for the half was 2:31.
On the second half mile the older men in
creased their lead another half length, doing

is A HOT CONTEST

George Fnlayson, the former guard and
center rush of the Minnesota university foot
ball team, and James H. Maybury, the famous
Wisconsin sprinter, are opposing candidates
for the republican nomination for county at
torney in Polk county. The contest between
these two famous athletes has attracted much
attention all over the state.
Finlayson opened the game with a straight
buck through center for fifteen yards but
Maybury covered the 100 yards in record
time, 9 4-5, giving him a slight advantage.
Finlayson made vicious tackle, and the re-
sulting tumble gave him the ball in May
burys territory. Maybury braced on his ten
yard line, however, and made the 22O yards

around a turn F1nlayson then circled the
end for ten, and Maybury punted. At the

BASEBALL
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION

Minneapolis held the lead for eight
innings Of yesterdays game at 1ndianap-
oils, but In the ninth Lefty Sporer went
way to the bad. He opened the inning by
slamming the sphere into Heydon's Stats,
and then Phyle made things worse. The
little third baseman apparently imagined
that he was playing golf and tried to
break the record for driving. The lapse
of memory allowed Kellum to reach the
initial sack, and Hogriever followed with
a swat which scored Heydon. Kuhns and
Babb were unable to deliver the goods.
and it was up to kim, who proved equal
to the emergency, sending Kellum home
with another single, and winning the
game for his team.
The Millers played under difficulties.
Grant had split finger. but had to con-
tinue in the game on account OF the pau
city Of infielders. Wilmot was also on the
hospital list, and Zalusky played in the
right garden. The cripples scored two
runs in the first, Grant getting lift on
Babb's bad shot to first, and Phyle fol-
lowing with a single. Lynch advanced
both men by a timely bunt, and Byers
sent slow one to Fox. who whipped It
to the plate clearly. Grant seemed safely
blocked, but Heydon managed to lose the
sphere, which rolled to the grand stand,
allowing Phyle to come in with the sec
ond score.
The boosters tailed in. the second and
third, Fox hitting safely in the second and
committing grand larceny Of second:
Coulter singled and Fox Tailed on Byers'
throw to second, which retired Coulter.
In the third Kuhns wrapped his bat two
times around the ball and Babb delivered
a package good for one base, Kuhns land
ing at the plate while the clerk was sign
ing the receipt. Fox, O'Brien and Hey
don mixed things up in the fourth, the
three hobbies being just what was needed
to get Zalusky around the circuit. The
