HARVARD IN POOR FORM.
MEN NEVER TOGETHER
Coach Wray Does Not Seem We'll Satisfied With
 Their Work.
lRx Associated Press l

Red Top, June 1.-The work of the Harvard crews was not up to their usual standard to-day. During the early part of the morning the varsity eight did well, but later they fell away and the boat was never together. The same thing happened during the after noon until near the finish. When the varsity went up the river for half a mile with the freshmen the boat was very ragged, but for the final two hun dred yards the men got together and displayed possible winning form. Coach Wray spent most of his time giving the men instructions as to the catch and the blade work, but did not seem very we'll satisfied with their work. The freshman eight went very poorly, Vogel at No. seeming to throw the rest of the men out With Loring at No. in the freshman four-oafed the boat went better. as he has rowed there before

MARRIED A FOREIGNER.
American Wife Failed to Profit by
Experience of Many Others.

NEWPORT. r. l.. December 10-After
hearing of ten minutes yesterday Mrs.
May Brady Hall, who is we'll known in
society, obtained divorce from her hus-
band. Maj. Charles Hall of the British
army, with whom she lived only two
years. She alleged that Maj Hall had
never done anything for her support,
though he was able bodied Judge Brown
granted the petition on the ground of neg
lect to provide
Neither the petitioner nor any Of her
witnesses appeared in court, the case be-
ing heard almost entirely on deposition
Mrs. Hall deposed that she and Mai Hall
were married in London July %, 1902, and
that four days later, much against her
will, he resigned from the British army.
He was an officer in the Yorkshire In
fantry, and received a salary of So 800
year. Since that time he had done moth
ing. and, in fact. he never did anything
toward her support.
He had small income, and his father
gave her an allowance of $500 a quarter
Maj. Hall, however took this himself
saying that he needed it for his personal
expenses. She and her husband had lived
apart since December. 1904. and the next
summer she came here and bought a resi-
dence on Clay street.
Maj. Hall was represented by counsel.
but he offered no contest. Mrs. Hall will
have to wait six months for her decree,
according to the law of this state. and
meanwhile the case may be reopened for
cause and the decision set aside.
Mrs. Hall is a daughter of the late
Judge Bray of New York. Her first hus-
band was c. Albert Stevens. who died six
years ago.

WALTER SOMMERS
TO LEAD HATCHETITES

A meeting of the "w'' men of the
George Washington University foot ball
team was held yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of electing captain for the
season. of 1908. and, as stated in Sundays
Star, resulted in Walter A. Sommers.
the All-South Atlantic tackle, getting the
position by a unanimous vote.
sommers, who is Junior in the politi-
cal science department of the university,
has played right tackle on the team for
the past three seasons. He is Washing
ton boy and gained his first knowledge Of
the game while attending the local high
schools. During the time he has been
on the George Washington team he has
made quite reputation for himself. His
strong point is advancing the ball
on a tackle run. Whenever a couple of
yards were needed for a first down he
could always be depended upon to make
the distance. He is also exceptionally
strong in breaking up plays directed at
his side of the line He is about six feet
tall and weighs over $50 pounds. 1t is ex-
pected that the team next season under
his leadership will play strong game.

No Canadian Pulp Export.

OTTAWA, December 10. President
Roosevelt's declaration favoring the abol-
ton of the tariff on forest products has
not created any great surprise among the
Ottawa valley lumbermen. His idea that
the repeal of the American duties on
wood pulp should be accompanied by an
agreement with Canada that there shall
be no export duties on Canadian pulp
wood is looked upon as impossible. Such
an agreement would hasten the depletion
of the Canada n forests while giving
growth to new forests in the United
States. Among Canadian lumbermen and
wood pulp manufacturers there has eX-
listed strong feeling in favor either of
prohibition of the export of pulp wood or
logs or an export duty. The balance of
opinion seems to incline in favor of pro-
hibition OF the export. New Brunswick
and Quebec lumbermen are equally OPP
posed to the suggestion.

ATTELL AND MORAN
MATCHED TO FIGHT

NEW YORK. December 1O.-At last
Owen Moran and Abe Attell have been
matched to fight for the featherweight
championship of the world. The fighters
save signed articles to battle twenty-five
rounds at Colma. Cal, on New Year aft
ernoon.
For years efforts have been made to get
Attell and Moran into the ring together
Moran came to this country once before
to get match with the shifty Abe. but
he was unsuccessful. Owen has taken on
weight since then. and has improved in
his fighting ability.
The fighters will battle for a guaran-
teed purse of $1,000, with the privilege of
accepting 60 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts. The money will be divided, Is per
cent to the winner and 35 per cent to
the loser Attell waived his demand Of
5000 for his end of the purse and this
action on the part of the champion was
responsible for the making of the match
Moran is undoubtedly one of the best
little fighters that England has ever sent
to this country. But, notwithstanding
this fact, there are few fight experts who
believe the Britisher will be able to de-
feat the champion. .Attell Is probably the
cleverest fighter in the ring today, and
besides. he has a Knockout punch in
either hand. though in his latter fights
ne mas TeITdileo from uSllS H. but IL Is
there. just the same. Another thing that
favors Attell Is the fact that he can make
122 pounds with ease. He never weighs
more than that. and never has to reduce
for fight. Moran. on the other hand
is several pounds heavier than 122
pounds. and 1t is doubtful If he can make
the weight and be. strong. He showed
this In his recent battle with frankie
Neil. Moran was pounds over weight
when he fought Neil.
