Poughkeepsie, y. Y, June A.-"'If I knew
whether the ebb tide runs as strong as the
food tide was running upstream last Friday
when the Cornell made time row over
this course, l could tell you the crew that will
win the boat race" said Charles Courtney, the
Cornell coach, yesterday. There had been a dis
cussion at the headquarters Of the Ithacans as
to whether the tide runs strongest on the ebb
sistant coach, held the view that 1t is stronger
the food.
The race is rowed on the ebb tide down.
stream, while most of the time trials this year
have been made with the opposite tide. Mr..
Courtney did not reveal the time Of last Fri
days trial, but his remark was interpreted as
meaning that 1t was very fast. There is no
mistaking Courtney's confidence In the Cornell
crew, even in face Of the glowing reports from
the Columbia quarters. Speaking of the 1901
race when Cornell made the worlds record for
four miles, Courtney predicted that because Of
the uncommonly fast tide of that the record
will stand unbroken for twenty years.
In the Pennsylvania colony it seems to be
conceded that the prospects for the Quaker
varsity are no more favorable than those OF
Wisconsin or Syracuse, neither of which is
deemed formidable factor. but the Philadel-
phians have strong hopes Of beating out Column
bia for third place.
In the freshman and four-oar class a strong
bull movement has developed for the sons of old
Penn, both of these crews having shown splen-
did improvement. All the crews were forced
to take light practice yesterday, owing to eX-
tremely rough water conditions. Wisconsin and
Georgetown made their first appearance the
river, but did not do much. Arrangements were
made yesterday for a substitute four cared race
for two miles next Tuesday afternoon.

BLASTS IN PASSING.

Eastern racing promoters are trying to find
out why it is that, with the same groups of
cars and men, the western race meets have bet
ter contests.
That the young King of Spain has just bought
an American-made automobile may be consid-
Grad as a sign of the complete restoration of
good feeling between the nations recently 1T

to American motorcars. Alfonso ordered sn

That New York bike cop who pedalled after
and caught motorcar going forty miles an
hour, has been outdone by an English Bobby
of the foot force, who ran and caught car,
which he said going thirty miles an hour.
To top it, the Bobby said he knew it was
going that fast because he . 'ad to run ard
to catch hit"
In the racing at Hartford, Chevrolet revealed
himself as chauffeur of true championship
caliber. He outjockeyed Barney Oldfield and
beat MIN at his game, when the latter
tried to prevent the Frenchman from passing.
When Oldield ran wide to force Chevrolet to
the rail, the Frenchman slackened speed for
bare instant, then shot inward to the pole
and went past the inside. 1t was wonder
full feat for travelling at almost mile
minute speed.

TENNIS TOURNEY
AT MINIKAHDA
State Championships to Be Set
tied on Country Club
Links.

The Minikahda club has been awarded
the tennis tournament this year. At a
meeting Of the executive committee
in st. Paul it was decided to hold the
tourney in Minneapolis and N1nikahda instead
of the Town and Country club will entertain the
cracks this summer. The tournament will be
held during the second week in August and
some interesting matches are looked for
During the past few years the competition has
been held on the courts of the Town and Coun-
try club of st. Paul, but now that the Mini
kahda club has added tennis courts to its grounds
it is likely that the two clubs will alternate in
entertaining the tennis men of the state in the
future. BY giving Minikahda the tourna ment
this season 1t Is believed greater interest will be
shown in the play for the state title.
