scores as a basis for picking the championship
team. Cornell has all the better of the argument.
Cornell has defeated Harvard, Yale and Penn
sylvania and beaten Fordham twice, team that
has proven a stumbling block for several of the
big colleges. The Ithacans seem to have un
disputed claim TO the championship. Princeton
has been slow rounding into form, but the team

begins her series with Harvard and Princeton.
II looks now as il the Tigers would come out

opposing pitchers in game between these in

markable contest. The Tiger twirer has struck
out ifty-eight men in seventy eight innings this
season. DeshOn has an equally good record in
the of StrikeOutS, and 1t Is believed that
fewer hits have been made off his delivery.

BIG ENTRY FOR REGATTA
High School Boys ont for Spin an
Spite of Cold and Rain.

Interest i'm rowing centres this week in the
annual regatta Of the Harlem River Rowing
Association to be decided on the Speedway
course on Thursday Memorial pay). For this
eveni the local oarsncn have been preparing
ever since the weather allowed them. The late
spring, however, has not given them the oppor-
tunity for as much practice as they cared to
have. Judging by the number of entries and
the high class of the contestants it will he the
greatest regatta ever held in local waters. Be
sides. the race for high school boy eights is an
added attraction in which thousands are inter
ested. The races begin in the morning and con-
tine until a short time before dark. If it is a
clear day thousands of persons will line the
course and cheer their favorites on to victory
The disagreeable weather yesterday was big
disappointment to the oarsmen who expected to
put on the finishing touches to their training
Although a cold. drizzng rain fell the greater
part of the day, there were many racing boats
on the river. For the first time the De Witt
Clinton boys took a Sunday spin under the
direction of Captain Jack Nagle of the Harlem
Boat Club These boys expect to win on Thurs
day, and they are taking every opportunity TO
get in first class condition. as they look for
hard race with the Morris High School eight
which has been working under the direction of
Coach Giannini of the New York Athletic Club
The other entries. Stuyvesant High, High
School of Commerce and Townsend Harris are
in fine condition. according to their coaches and
will be ready for a bruisng race on Memorial
Day.
At the different clubs yesterday it was notice
able that the stock of the New York Athletic
club had taken big jump on its work at the
Henley regatta, at Philadelphia, on Saturday,
where the Mercury Foot oarsmen won three
races. c. p. Stuart and l.. Rvas won the
double scull race, DurandO Miller won the single
scull, and the New York Athletic Club eight de-
feated the Bachelors Barge Club and the Uni
Versity OF Pennsylvania varsity. All these men
Will race on the Harlem. The New York oars
men made fine showing at Philadelphia. Ex-
ceptfonally fine work done by W. l.. Dunn
and Fred Fuesell, of the Metropolitan Rowing
club; G. 3. Hayward, of the Nassau Boat Club,
ana the Staten Island Boat Clubs four.
The New York Athletic Club and Columbia
University should furnish a beautiful contest in
the event for senior eights on Memorial Day.
Cnth Saturday it was expected that the Nassau
Boat Club would be Columbia's closest rival, but
the great rowed by Gianninrs men has
made them hot favorite for Thursday. Column
bia expects 70 win. but there are some who be
lieve the crew will be beaten by the Travers
Island eight.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

All eyes turn this week to the intercollegiate
track and field championships TO be decided at
Cambridge on Friday and Saturday These
games attract even more than the usual interest
this year as Michigan comes East with an ex-
ceptonally strong collection Of athletic stars.
The Westerners expect to win. Many Eastern

the college athletic year was made Friday
by Shaw. of Dartmouth, at the New England

COMMENT ON SPORTS.
ACTIVITY IN ALL LINES.

All that is needed to make this week red
letter one in the outdoor sporting season Of 1907
IS bright warm weather. The outlook in this
respect yesterday not fattering a cold
rain made one despair that real summer would
ever come. but a change for the better is hoped
for and can even be looked for and If II comes
there are enough fixtures scheduled in practi-
cally every branch Of sport to furnish more than
the usual entertainment. Memorial Day has
gradually grown into of the biggest sport
ing holidays of the season. and It IS safe TO say
that the participation on Thursday will exceed
that Of any previous year. Racegoers, baseball
fans, track and field athletes. automoblsts,
oarsmen. cricketers. lawn tennis players. golfers
and yachtsmen will not lack for plenty to do
and see, and veritabe host Of persons will find
their pleasure out of doors. The second spring
meeting of the Westchester Racing Association
will keep racing folk well engaged the Giants will
put in their last full week at the Polo Grounds
until June %, the Harlem regatta on Thursday
will hold the centre of the stage for the oars
men, the intercollegiate track and field meeting
at Cambridge on Friday and Saturday will mark
the end of interesting and active season
among the college athletes while in every other
branch of sport there will be more than usual
activity
The important happenings last week included
the winning Of the Brooklyn Handicap by James
X. keene's SuperTnan, the making of three golf
champions OF which more viii be said later:
the winning by Irving Wright of the lawn tennis
championship Of Long Island. in which he
showed enough skill TO indicate that he may
follow in the footsteps of his brother Beals c.
Wright. who has a national championship;
the fight for the lead in the National League
pennant race between New York and Chicago,
fn which the Giants came off second best for
the time; the success Of the Yale second crew
and the New York Athletic Club eight in the
american Henley regatta, the winning Of the
New England intercollegiate track and field
championship by Dartmouth, and the brilliant
performance OF Shaw, of that college, in racing
over the high hurdles in 10 seconds fat, which
would have been accepted a worlds record if
one OF the hurdles had not been dislOdged.

PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL.

The baseball fans in this city will not soon
forget the series of three games between the
Chicago Cubs and the Giants at the Polo
Grounds last week The surprising total of
some seventy thousand persons saw the three
games, which plainly indicates the popu-
larity of the great national game The
Giants lost the odd, 10 the disappointment
of their many followers but it can be
said in all fairness that they We're not out
played and that the goddess of luck deserted
them in the time of their greatest need. This
IS not said to detract one whit from the credit
due the Cubs. who played the kind of baseball
10 indicate that the Giants must keep fighting to
the end of the season. If the pennant is to be
won. The first game of the series was marred
by some hard losers who almost precipitated a
riot in their disappointment defeat, but
fortunately the players not involved, and
more acceptable than unsportsmanlike conduct
The Giants won three and lost three games last
week, and Chicago holds the lead by a narrow
margin. The first clash of the season between
the two teams, which are far IN the van, showed
that there was little to choose between them. It
must not be forgotten. however. that Chicago
will have a slight advantage over New York
in the next five weeks, the Giants will be on
the road most of the time, while the Cubs, after
on home grounds. Boston will play more
game at the Polo Grounds to-day, and then
Philadelphia viii come here for four games in
cluGing double-header Memorial Day. The
Superbas did little better last week. but are
still in last place, where they likely to stay
with long trip away from home before them.
The Highlanders are still in fourth place, after
a week in which they played only two games
The Chicago White SoX still lead the American
League race, with Cleveland on their heels. The
Highlanders viii travel East to-day for four
games at Washington and three at Boston be-
fore getting back TO American League Park
June f. On home grounds some improvement
can be looked for, and it is safe to say the team
will make brave effort to fight It's way 10 the
top again. The hope for championship team
Is not as bright it was however, as there is
weakness I'm the pitching staff that is a con-
slant menace. improvement can be expected,
perhaps, with warmer weather.
