CORNELL DEFEATS HARVARD.
The Cambridge Eight Beaten by Sew
en- Lengths.

BOSTON, May 27.-Cornel1 defeated Har-
ward today. Both weather and water con-
ditions were suitable in the early hours,
for the race between the crew from Cor
nell University and the Harvard varsity
eight. Not since 1898 had the oarsmen
from these universities met in a rowing
contest and there was much interest in
the event. The Cornell coaches pronounced
their men to be in excellent shape. Har-
ward went into the race with special eager
ness since it would serve in d measure to
demonstrate the crimSons probable chances
in the coming meeting with Yale on the
Thames.
The varsity race was to be started at 4:3O
o'clock, preceded, however, by three other
events, beginning at 3 O'Clock These in
Guided race between the Weld and Newell
Club freshmen crews of Harvard; a race
between picked crews from the same clubs
and at O'Clock a single shell for the
Carroll cup. open TO students of Harvard.
The weather conditions were pronounced
most satisfactory. The Weld crew of
freshmen won the first preliminary races
by about a quarter of length over the
Newell crew. The second race between
picked crews from the Weld and the Newell
clubs was won by the Weld eight by less
than length. The single SOULS race for
the Carroll cup, open to all Harvard STU
dents, was won by f. E. Smith of the Law
School. Time 7.13 (unofficiaD; j. r, Mont
gomery, 'O6, was second and c. c. Auchin-
Gloss, Law School, third The distance was
the dual race by seven lengths; time Cun-
OFFICIALLY. -O.091a; distance. rs miles.
Cornell gave notable exhibition of the
type of rowing which she has practiced so
successfully at the Poughkeepsie races in
past years. The crimson oarsmen could do
little against the Ithaca students. who
pulled over the course of mile and seven
eighths in 10 minutes 8 Is seconds Har-
ward finished in 10 minutes 81 seconds
The weather conditions for the event were
excellent from the standpoint of the specta
tors, but the oarsmen encountered a breezy
southwest wind which struck the shells on
the port bow after they had completed one
half the distance.
AS In recent races with Yale on the
Thames, the Harvard crew got the better
start and headed the visitors by a quarter
OF length almost Immediately Harvard
pulled 3S strokes to the minute and Cornell
about 30. AT the eighth of a mile mark
Cornell caught up with Harvard and in a
few moments her bow was pushed ahead of
the tip of the crimson shell. From that
time the race was Cornell's.
AS the shells passed under Harvard bridge
half way to the finish, Harvard was two
lengths behind. Cornell pulled straight for
the finish flag and, increasing her gain sped
to the line in splendid form, six and one
half lengths in front of the crew from Cam
bridge,

HIT HIS TWIRLING ARM
Goodman, Calvary's Pitcher, Lost His

Hard luck is blamed by the Calvary Ban
fist team for the loss of a game on the
northeast grounds yesterday afternoon,
when it went up against Douglas, Douglas

Up to the seventh inning Calvary had
everything coming its way when Graves,

stealing second, hit Goodman The pitcher.

continued to do the slab work but was OF
little use, as Douglas began to find him
easy, and base on balls, a single and a
two-bagger crossed the counting pan for
four runs. going the Calvary boys one bet
ter. Goodman was taken out in the sew
enth and was replaced by Westervelt, who
handled himself creditably, making five
men fan the air in the remaining two in
nings
Calvary started to break into the run coli
umn in the first inning. M Fenton getting
duly punched ticket to the first sack.
Then Capt. Westervelt, who is rarely
known to hit the ball. smote one over the
right field fence for four corners, the only
home run made on the northeast field so
far this sea son.
The Douglas fielders played a great deal
better game than the boys from the Baptist
church, the only misplays being marked up
against them being those two wild throws
made by Draeger TO Conway, both of these
being made after he had fielded the ball in
championship style Several of the Cal
varys misplays were made at untimely mo-
ments when it helped in the Douglas run
column.
In the seventh. eighth and ninth in
ningS a two-base hit helped the Douglas
lads to run up the winning scores.

Langley's debut as a captain resulted in
defeat for Gunton.
Congregationals position is similar to
that of New York and Boston in the Ameri-
can League-a good team at the bottom
And like those teams, 1t is a strong aggre-
CATION and will require watching when 1t
gets a pitcher.
Kerr of Calvary is making one or more
hits In every game. Vic Bieiaski connected
safely four times in his last game, and
there promises to be another pretty race
for the individual batting championship
this year, as several others are hitting EN-
out regularly. and often.
Spectators of the games at the White Lot
can get schedules, score cards, etc, at Tap
pans on F street or Spaulding's on 14th

Harding is not hitting to safe territory
as frequently as in the two former seasons

tically the same last season, and Foun-

st. Stephens had a somewhat crippled
team in its last game, on account of the
absence of Thomas, Mcdonald and others
whom Cunningham of Fourth pitched to
victory in Central's game against the
Princeton freshmen.
More than one game has been lost by

Sunday School League Notes.
Wonder when and where Lefty Herring
will play next? When Ballenger became
available with the Congregationals Capt
Chittenden went to third and put "Bally"
on first on account of his batting. and now
that Langley has been elected captains of
the Guntons, to which team Herring was
transferred at his own request, 1t is I'M
likely that the "hot-air' artist will displace
himself in favor of the ex-senator. What
ever Herrings abilities may be as hitter.
he is unquestionaby without a peer in the
league a first-sacker.
A contemporary said that Price of Cum
ton was improving over last years form,
when he hit weakly and fielded poorly.
Price batted in the neighborhood of only .45O
last season, finishing second in the indiyid-
ual list and besides making an excellent
showing at short, had perfect record in
the outfield. Bum playing" perhaps, but
Sixth might butt into the won column with
a few like him.
Now that the Northeast citizens have had
a taste of Section A ball the ST. Stephen
is going to give the Mt. Pleasant and
on the Section b brand of the sport, game
having been arranged for Decoration day at
o. M. with the Calvary Baptist team. In
the morning at 1920 st. Stephen will try
conclusions with the strong band of war
riors who are now leading the race in the
Departmental League. Umpire Belts will
"arbitrate" in both games, and good con-
tests expected
A five-cornered series of games between
the trailers in the Departmental, Capital City
and Marquette leagues, and Section A and
3 of the Sunday School League might
prove interesting, but trifie confusing.
The fielding undoubtedly would be far from
immaculate; Sixth might finish first, and
the First might be last. Should Carroll In
