FAST MILE BY HARVARD.
Coach Wray Pleased-Yale Crews Do
 Some Padding.

Red Top, Gales Ferry, June IT, Coach Wray was very much pleased with the work of the Harvard varsity crew yesterday when they rowed q mile in very close to five minutes, which is fully three-quarters of sec ond faster than anything they have done before. The course was from the navy yard to the three-mile mark. For the first half mile the stroke was 2S to the minute and for the second half g. Coach Wray said the showing was the best yet made and he hoped the good form would continue. To day for the first time the set of oars which are to be used in the race were tried. They are light and the men seemed to handle them we'll.
 Yale quarters, Gales Ferry. June 1i. None of the Yale crews had hard practice today. the work being for most part of the nature of padding to keep the men in condition during the progress of college examinations. The varsity eight this evening went down past the Harvard quarters fo. two miles and back. covering the four miles by easy stretches and without any attempt at time rowing. The other crews had light practice.
 All the men are reported by tue coaches in good condition. If Is ex- pected that examinations for the men in the varsity boat will be finished to- morrow noon.

THE DIAMOND.
LOCAL BOY
 PLAYS WELL. Bill Lallier Was In the Game Yesterday When New Haven Won-Results Ot Games.

New Haven, June 17.-At Eavin Rock, yesterday afternoon, there was a meeting of the Hartford and New Ha- ven baseball teams. Another row took place, but the umpire escaped be- ing mobbed as the decision causing the trouble favored the New Haven team.
 It was well played game and New Haven won, 3 to 0. Although Tuckey was touched up for seven hits, not a Hartford man was able to score.
 Young Lallier of Waterbury played fine game at shortstop. He came to bat twice and made two safe hits. His double play called for applause.
 Happy" Connolly, who was releas- ed from the New Haven team a few days ago, caught splendid game for Hartford.
 Everything went along smoothly un- til the latter part of the seventh in- ming was reached. Jope knocked the ball to Justice who failed to stop it. He started for second. Connolly threw the ball to Justice who nabbed Jope at second. In the minds of all the play CTS JOpe was out. He thought so him. self. Umpire Hayes yelled Safe at second" and the row started. The Hartford men refused to play. Parkins told the umpire what he thought of him and was removed from the game.
 Coughlin was taken from right field and placed in the box. He refused to pitch until Umpire Hayes would take his position behind tie bat. This the umpire refused to do, stating that ow- ing to an injured eye he agreed with Manager Tracey of the Hartford club to umpire from the pitchers box. Mir Tracey denied any such agreement. Umpire Hayes gave the Hartford play CTS the time prescribed by rule in which to get into operation. When all but one minute was up Coughlin took his position in the box and the game was resumed. The decision cost the visiting team run as Jope scored.
 Joe Theisen made a sensational catch after long run. Tuckey pitch ed good game and his support was excellent from all the members of the team. The score:

WRESTLING.
BEST MATCH
 PROMOTED
The. Swanson and Cnaki Contest Will Be World Beater-Both Men Train. ing Hard and Earnestly.

Now that the preliminaries have been arranged for the big match be- tween Alex Swanson and Billy Cnaki, it would be well to look at the two principals little. Swanson has a great record as wrestler, and if he never had one, his defeat of Harvey Parker for the welterweight cham pionship entities him to some consid- eration. Then only few weeks ago Swanson went down to Naugatuck and made Eddie O'Connell of New Haven look like thirty-center. O'Connell claims the championship of the state, perhaps of New England, at his weight. By defeating Kelly he added to his record, and yet O'Connell was trimmed easily by Swanson, and it was double cross at that, for OCon- nell believed that Swanson would let him go to draw, and when he real ized that he would not he tried his best to stave off defeat, but Swanson put the blocks on him for keeps. Now Billy Cnaki beat John B. Kelly in the best days that Kelly has ever seen, yes, 1000 per cent better than he was the night he met O'Connell. Therefore 1t is safe to conclude that as Cnaki beat Kelly when he was in his prime, and as Swanson has beaten O'Connell, who trimmed Kelly, the match. be- tween Swanson and Cnaki ought to be warm one from first to last.
 Swanson has just moved his family up here from New York and has begun active training. He will step on the mat the night of June g fit as a fiddle and ready to make the biggest fight he ever made for wrestling cham pionship. Cnaki is hard at work down in Bridgeport and his manager, Dick Howell, only smiles when some of Swanson's friends tell him that Swan. son is too clever and crafty for the Bridgeporter. It has finally been de- cided that the match will be for S25O a side and 50 per cent of the gross re ceipts of the house. This will practi. cally eive the promoters just their ac- tual expenses and that is all that they ask, as they are in the game for the love of the sport purely. Some of the wrestlers who failed to take adyan. tage of the preliminary offers will be sorry some day, but the management feel more than satisfied, for they have three star preliminaries that will keep the people on their feet from o'clock when the show starts until the time for closing.
