HARVARD BEAT YALE.
Long Game in Rain and Mud Won by
the Crimson.

Playing three hours and twenty minutes
In mud at New Haven yesterday afternoon.
Harvard defeated Yale in the annual COM
mencement game at Yale field, 10 to 6, and
made a record for a game played in rain
which ranged from a drizzle to downpour.
Every available seat In every stand, open
and closed, was filed with spectators. No
one minded the rain. Those in the covered
grand stand under shelter enjoyed the an
tics Of those who sat out in the elements,
including Yale alumni. A dozen bands
added to the din and braved the deluge.
The pitchers used resin on the ball. The
game was remarkably free from bad errors
The Yale managers insisted on playing
because Of the big crowd present.
Patton, who began pitching for Yale, lost
the game In the fourth inning by an error
which gave Harvard chance to hammer
him hard and consecutively and pile up a
come. A three-bagger by Clarkson, follow
ing a two-bagger in the third, did much to
win the game for Harvard, though the we'll
known pitcher modestly retired to the out
field and allowed Coburn to pitch through
out for Harvard
Yale had chances to catch I'D in the
eighth and ninth innings but despite a
slight batting rally was unable to save the
game. Bowman pitched for Yale after the
seventh and was very effective.
BY winning the game Harvard again
wrests the championship from YALE and
the defeat at the field yesterday afternoon
adds another to a long string Of defeats of
Yale teams on commencement day.

I'VE knew the pennant was gone right

take such foolish chances over matters so
trivial to him and yet important to them

TO RENEW SUBURBAN.
Big Handicap is to Be Run Over Again
on Julv q

Patrons of racing who were dissatisfied
with the last running Of the Suburban and
who loudly expressed their belief that II
the race were to be run over again the re-
suit would be different, will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing their opinion verified or
refuted on Thursday, July 2. The Coney
Island Jockey Club yesterday announced
special race to be run on that date at
the Sheepshead Bay track, which will serve
as renewal Of the big handicap.
The statement given out by the club de-
clares that no reflection is intended as the
result OF the Suburban. but states that the
bad weather experienced thus far in the
meeting justified another race. Entries
close Saturday. June q. at pm, with the
clerk of the caszsse. Coney island Jockey
Club. Sheepshea2 Bay. The race is for
horses which started or were eligible to
start in the Suburban. 1903, to carry the

CYCLIsT BUTLER HERE.
Other Coliseum Contestants Will Ar
rive This Afternoon.

Nat Butler, who will take part in the mo-
tor pace meet at the Coliseum tonight,
reached here yesterday and at once made
himself at home at the big track. There
was rain at Pittsburg Monday evening and
the postponed meet was run Off last night.
Therefore Walthour and Freeman will
not reach here in time to give the antici-
pated complimentary meet this afternoon,
although there will be free exhibition in
stead at 4:3O Butler behind pace will en-
deavor to break the track five-mile motor
paced record established year before last
by Bobby Walthour. There will be no
Saunders on one of the biggest and pref
test of the new big singles and last week,
without pace. it went mile In LOG, proving
1t speedy and reliable under high pressure.
In fact Butler states that the motor has
not gone wrong this season and the COM
plimentary exhibition this afternoon ought
to furnish convincing evidence of the ma
chimes qualities. Butler has become
formidable rival of the front rank riders.
as at Boston last Wednesday he broke all
the records for fifteen miles and upward to
twenty. The Coliseum track record for five
miles, which he will go against. is min
utes and / 2-5 seconds. His standing so far
Is the result of the fine pace given him by
Saunders.
Coliseum patrons still holding the rain
checks for the June meet can have them
exchanged at the track box office this
evening without further cost for the night
meet. The Coliseum management is anx-
ious that there shall be no cause for crii-
cism with reference to the preliminary and
stands ready to make all the June 4 rain
checks good for this meet, although legally
and according to the law OF the motor cycle
game they were discharged from further
liability for that event by giving and hold
ing the June ID postponed meet. But be-
cause the latter did not draw out the GUS
tomary large attendance. as rain threat
ened all that evening. the management is
willing to extend to the public the advan-
tage of the meet tonight.
AS Nat Butler Is the only rider who this
year has defeated Bobby Walthour and as
Walthour Is anxious to wipe out the stain
Of defeat 1t is likely there will be pretty
contest between these two in the heat they
ride together tonight. Those who know
Freeman aver that he. too, Will have
something to say when It comes to letting
out speed, as he has the pace that has been
used all this season by Hugh Mclean until
that rider had his recent accident.

AFTER GETTYSBURG PHIL"
Jockey Club Rules Off Horses of Noted
Plunger.

George E. Smith, better known all over
the turf world as "Pittsburg Phil" was
practically ruled off the turf yesterday by
the Jockey Club. The freedom of the race
tracks has not yet been denied to Mr..
Smith, but an order was Issued directing
that his entries be not accepted. In other
words. he may visit the tracks, and he may
wager on the races, but his horses may
not compete.
There are reports that seem to be fairly
well grounded that even more drastic
measures are to be adopted, and that the
well-known plunger will be requested not
to attend the races In the east.
In his own behalf Mr.. Smith made
statement last night in New York. in which
he declared that his treatment Is most UNI
fair. and that 1t is the result of jealousies
and personal dslikes. In q most emphatic
manner he announced his intention or
fighting. He said his honor has been i'm
peached. and that he will spend every dol
lar he possesses to vindicate himself.
For several weeks 1t has been known
that trouble was in store for "Pittsburg
Phil" Even last year it was whispered
that he was in disfavor. 1t was then said
that the Jockey Club, which is all powerful
in matters pertaining to the turf In this
section, had objected to his heavy wagers
It Is now known that word was sent TO
him that his methods were deemed PERM.
cious and that he would oblige If he would
turned that "Pittsburg PHIL at his own
accord had determined to make fewer and
smaller wagers.
His operations this year had been upon a
minor scale as compared with those Of last
year. Yet he has been in constant danger
ever since racing opened In New York. This
was emphasized when Willie shaw,
jockey developed by him, was ruled on
the turf. In discussing the race Mr.. Smith
said:
.'Shaw got into trouble riding Dryers
Africander. He rode the colt in a race that
he should have won. He was roasted for
losing, and I roasted him. He admits he
should have won by three lengths. but he
tried to go up on the inside near the rail.
The other boy cut in and shut him on.
Then 1T was too late for him to go around.
1t was bad judgment but 1t was not crimi-
nal I bet a lot of money on Africander,
and did not want to lose. but l knew
Shaw had not tried to throw away the
race"
The noted Illyr'l race. however, probably
brought about tine drastic action.

team added another game to Its long list
of victories last evening by defeating the

game took place on the grounds of the
former, 18th and D streets northeast.
About two thousand persons witnessed the
contest. Walker, who was In the box for

features Of the game were the timely hit
ting of Glutchback and the fine work Of
Myers behind the bat, for the Columbus.
Griesback was very timely with his hits
and drove most Of the runs over the plate
for the Marines. The game was fast and
snappy from start to finish, and was
greatly enjoyed by the large number of
visitors. The Columbias will have for their
opponents Thursday afternoon, the Eastern

Colonel Rogers, once owner Of the Phil

game between Gunton and Sixth.
Gunton still leads in team batting with
316 average. and in team fielding is second
with $50. one point ahead of Temple, the
occupants of second place in team standing.
Sixth has the best team fielding average

In Individual fielding Dudley leads the
pitchers. Galleher the catchers, BalIfnger
the first. G. Evans the second and Asquith
the third basemen. Jacobson leads the
short stops in average. but the honor really
belongs to his team mate. Kennedy, as the
latter has performed in four more games
than "Crissy."
Several of the outfelders have perfect

1t is not likely that the original cast OF

Tennis Expert Defeated Abroad.


After defeating C. s. Franklin in the first
round of the all England lawn tennis cham
pionship, at Wimbledon. England. yester-
day, by three sets to nil, Clarence Hobart,
the well-known American player, met with
a reverse at the hands Of G. A. Caradia by
the same score. The latter match was the
feature of the day.
The state Of the courts after the recent
rains was all against a "volleyer' and the
man who runs in. To this fact was at
tributed Mr.. Hobarts defeat.
Commenting on the play. the London
Daily Mail says: 1.-THE wary American
player evidently found the soft turf and
passing trains Of the railway line which
passes the courts a great hindrance to his
game, and more than once during the con-
test he seemed to lose absolute control Of
his racquet. His Greek opponent, on the
other hand, was as steady as rock. Mr..
Hobart put up great struggle In the first
set, which Mr.. Caradia won by eight games
to six, but after this the American fell of
considerably and was eventually beaten
somewhat easily in the other two sets"
