Kansas City, the champion middle

German. of Brooklyn, in the third
round in the contests held here last
night at the National Sporting club in
connection with the coronation sporting
tournament These two fighters were in
fine shape. German was seven pounds
heavier than Ryan The latter soon
showed greater steadiness and speed
than his opponent and allowed German
TO do all the rushing. German got in
several stiff jabs. but in the third round
Ryan displayed marked superiority and
landed with his left and right stimuli
taneously on Germans head. German
was dazed, and before he could recover
he received a swinging right on the
jugular and was counted out.
In another match Frank Erne of
Buffalo, defeated Jim Maloney Of
England in the seventh round.
This bout was a rather poor exhibit
ton and although it is said that Erne
had taken matters lightly during his
training, he had no difficulty in dispos-

casions fell without being struck and
had to be severely cautioned. Erne did

New Haven, Conn, June 25.-Before
10. 600 spectators Harvard defeated Yale
Monday afternoon in the commence
ment ball game. The defeat greatly
dampened the enthusiasm which, before
the game began, was as picturesque in
expression as ever. Many of the classes
that returned for reunion marched
around the diamond, headed by brass
bands. The class of 1896 made quite
novel appearance, led as they were by
10 men on horseback, carrying fish pole
lances with Yale pennants Haunting at
the top. Four Scotch bagpipers We're
also with the class. The trienniai class
es were CARRIED as sailors and carried
huge pompons of paper on long stems.
The cheering was at time deafening,
but died down as Yale heroes sank after
the fifth inning. There was a desperate
rally of enthusiasm toward the close Of
the game when Yale graduates and
students, dying hard, gave their team
final support and encOurag cement, hop
ing to make a strong finish. But Clark
sons cleverness was too much for the
Yale batsmen. The score by innings.

to win from where she got away. She
managed to finish third Pluck won

whether the favorite would have beaten
