NOVEL ENDING
OF BOAT RACE

WORCESTER, Mass, August 13.-For
the first time in the history of the National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen medals
and banners have been awarded to two
| crews for a championship race, and the
New York Athletic Club and Riverside
Boat Club Of Cambridge. Mass, together
hold the senior eght-oared championship.
The race, which was remarkable one in
many ways, was to have been rowed or
yesterday morning, but fear of police in
reference for violating the Sunday laws
caused the regatta officials to change the
original plan, and the race was declared of.
Two unsuccessful efforts were made to
determine the winner of the event, both of
which failed. The first race, in which the
New York Athletic Club. the Riverside Boat
Club of Cambridge, Mass, and the Argo-
naut Rowing Club of Toronto, Canada, par
ticipated, was the last event on the national
regatta program. The New York Athletic
Club crew finished first but owing to a
foul committed by the Argonauts the race
was declared of and the Canadians dis
qualified The second race which resulted
in dead heat, was replete with thrilling
incidents. and broke all rowing traditions
in the United States. The race was rowed
at 10 o'clock Saturday night. with the
New York Athletic Club and Riversides as
contestants. A searchlight was used to
illuminate the course on Lake .Quinsiga-
mond, and while the race was in progress
the referees launch struck a sunken buoy,
and became entangled in rope Edward
P. Reynolds of New York plunged into the
water from the launch with his clothes on
and got the launch free.
During the trip to the starting point the
New York Athletic Club shell ran down a
canoe and broke the outriggers. The boat
was taken back to the Lakeside boat house
and repaired. Meantime the Riverside crew
had been rounded up, and was waiting for
the New Workers. After considerable delay
the two crews were sent off. but before
half a dozen strokes had been made F. NJ.
Wheeler, No. Z, Of the New York crew
snapped his oar, and the boats were re-
called. Another oar was secured and once
more the boats were sent on their journey,
and were soon lost in the darkness. A yell
announced the fact that the imaginary
finish line had been crossed, but the judges
were not close enough to the contestants to
render decision.

CHICAGO NOW
IN FIRST. PLACE

CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 13.-Chicago be-
came the axis Of the base ball world yes
terday when the local American team
moved into first place by defeating the
Greater New Yorks for the third time by
a score OF 3 to 0. With one bound the Chi
Cages leaped over New York and Phila-
delphia and climaxed the most sensational
advance of base ball history by winning
the tenth straight game. making 1t four
teen out of sixteen played on the home
grounds, during which they fought their
way from sixth to first place.
The final leap upward was made before
a crowd which in all probability was the
greatest that ever attended a bali game
in Chicago. Secretary Fredericks announc-
ed the official attendance at $1,000. and the
gates closed at $50, half hour before
the game began, with the streets crowded
for blocks in each direction and thousands
turning back. seeing the hopelessness Of
gaining admission. Perhaps not twO-thtrds
of the $1,000 who did squeeze themselves
into the grounds saw more than glimpse
of the play, for the entire field was cir
cled with a mass Of humanity that howled
and aoplauded.
The game itself became merely an Incl
dent Everybody expected the Chicagos to
win and consummate the work of the last
fOrtnight-except those few who feared
that, at the eleventh hour. the cup of
JOY might be snatched away. And for a
time it appeared as IL this might be the
case, for during the earlier innings the
visitors lambasted Waish's curves all over
the lot, and only for the wonderful sup
port accorded to him and the foolhardiness
of the New Yorks in trying to run bases
they might have won. The score:

HOTELS, RESTAURANTS & CAFES
WHERE TO DINE
BRYAN's OWNERSHIP THEORY.
Would Have Government Own Trunk
Line Railroads

From a staff correspondent who is travel
ing with William j. Bryan, the st. Louis
Republic has received an outline of Mr.
Bryans plans for a division of control Of
the railroads of the country among the
states and the federal government.
Mr. Bryan will attack the trusts In his
New York speech and 1t is possible he will
go further and give his views on certain
forms of public ownership of the utilities,
with especial reference to railroads, both
interstate and within states. 1t is also
quite likely that with the support of the
original Bryan party wing and the aid Of
such eastern conservatives as Alvah A.
Clark of New Jersey he will come out bold
ly for a constitutional amendment that will
make an income tax one of the certainties
of the next half dozen years.
If Mr.. Bryan enters upon the money ques-
ton it is quite likely he will repeat his re-
assertions of recent years that conditions
have eliminated money as an issue.
One of the many striking impressions
that have come to Mr.. Bryan on this tour
has to do with the ownership Of the great
public utilities by the state, with especial
reference to the railroads. Mr.. Bryan has
been in Europe On other occasions. He has
been careful to examine the conditions sur.
rounding the government management or
the larger arteries of travel.
In one very important particular MT
Bryan would apply the theory differently
to the United States. His plan would ad-
init of the ownership of certain trunk lines
by the general government. in order that
the famously efficient through services
should not in any way suffer impairment
but he would insist that the local lines IN
every state be owned by the separate
states, thus preserving more effectually the
idea of state individuality. which. in MI
Bryan's opinion, would in time be wiped
out il all lines passed into federal control:
The enormous patronage that would De
the result of such railroad management IN
America would, of course, tend to entrench
the party in power and would ir time &C,
complish what Mr.. Bryan fears and would
contend against-the abolition of state
boundaries.
1t is interesting to note in Europe the
almost entire absence of confusion in pass
ing from one government to another. This
fact is presented to meet the argument,
which, no doubt, viii be speedily forth
coming that great confusion would result
IL passengers were moved. say. from Kan
sas City. No. to Springfield, H.. on lines
owned by the states of Missouri and Hi
nois.
1t is not Mr.. Bryans intention at this
time to take up the triviaities of public
ownership. Mr.. Bryan is considering the
subject in it's broadcast aspect. developing
at the same time an entirely new and very
democratic feature-that Of individual state
ownership.
