New York, May 2.-The season of
field and track sports. amateur as
well as professional, for 1907, will be
fairly under way by the end OF the
present week. All the larger colleges
booked to participate in the annual
rowing regatta are turning attention
to the conditioning of their crews,
and with the coming Of May track
athletics take on new life. The base
ball season OF the major leagues has
progressed far enough to permit the
followers of this popular sport to size
up the chances of their sfavorites in
the pennant race. apd the yachts will
break out their sails to early Nav
breezes. Chief interest in horse rae
ing necessarily centers in the metro
politan tracks upon which will be run
all the old established classics with
j. prospects OF an unusually large num-
Der OF contestants for the rich prizes.
The, college crews are all aboat
now, working hard for the Pough-,
keepsie regatta, to be held June Is,
and subsequent races. Reports from
all training tables say the oarsmen
are rounding into form nicely. Yale's
green crew-there are only two old
men in the boats making vigorous
Efforts to get into shape for the
match with the midshipmen at An,
napolis next Saturday. Boulton has
been definitely picked to stroke for
the blue and the sons of Old Eli hope
to wipe out the defeat administered
by the miidies last year. The navy
boat has but two new men in it.
Harvard and Dartmouth will meet
In field sports in the stadium at Cam
bridge Saturday. Much interest is
evinced in the negotiations now going
on between Harvard and Yale for an
athletic meeting on this side of the
Atlantic during the summer with the
Oxford and Cambridge universities
teams, and the hope is everywhere
expressed that the Englishmen can
be induced to come over.
Miss Annette Hellerman, the
worlds champion woman swimmer,
will arrive in New York during the
week and will give exhibitions in VAR
ious cities. 1t is not improbable that
a race between the Australian woman
and Miss Elialine Golding of Bath
Beach, N. Y, will be arranged.
The rules and conditions of the
Vanderbilt automobile race on Long
Island, the blue ribbon event for mo-
florists. will be announced May Is.
The race will take place this year
two weeks later than last season.
The course may be somewhat chang
ed this year.
The English turf will again see
Richard Cookers stable on the fam
GUS tracks this season. Croker has
sent a string of horses across the
Irish channel with Orby, a grandson
of Flying For. who won the derby
in 1899, at its head. With this horse
Mr.. Croker hopes to land the much
coveted derby this year, but turf fol-
lowers cannot see that he has
Universal regret is expressed on
the continent that William K. Van
derbilt's star performer Maintenon
has gone wrong and been relegated
to the stud. Much Of the $246, 900
won by the Vanderbilt stable last
year was brought home by this fleet
horse.
Young Jay Gould, it is expected,
will win the amateur court tennis
championship now being contested in
London. His playing thus far has
shown him to be in a class by him
self since Eustace Miles decided not
to defend his title.
A degree of public interest has been
aroused In pugilism since the arrival
at San Francisco of the> Australian
heavyweight. William Squires, who
comes to these shores with the high
est reputation as boxer of class.
Americans have not forgotten the
other great fighters who came from
the Antipodes and made their way
against this countrys best and are
inclined to take Sduires as the only
man in sight capable OF giving bat
tile to Champion Jeffries.' Squires
must first show his worth, however,
and as an earnest desire on his part
to do so he has posted large forfeit
at Los Angeles to meet the winner
Of the Jack O'Brien-Tommy Burns
fight scheduled to take place in that
city on May s. Should he defeat the
winner of that match. the Australian
champion will ask Champion Jeffries
to give him battle and thus will oc-
cur real international ring contest.
The next big stake event of the
eastern horse-racing season will be
the Metropolitan handicap, to be run
May. at Belmont Park. Twenty
seven horses, a majority Of them good
performers, are entered. Accountant
