EASY WORK FOR HARVARD EIGHT ROWS BETTER shakeup in Freshman Crew
 vogel Succeeding
 Buxton.
tBv Assooiated Press. )

Red Top, June 19.-After their hard workwork of the morning in which the Harvard varsity eight made the, fast est time of the year over the four-mile stretch, Coach Wray this afternoon gave the eight easy work. He sent them downstream to the navy yard and back in fairly long stretches, most of the work being devoted to the catch and the recovery, and the eight rowed much better The hang, which has been noticeable on the low stroke, was entirely gone and the boat spaced very well between strokes. Wray did his coaching from single in order to get nearer to the men, and showed them the points that he was perfecting. The varsity four went out and worked in half-mile stretches at q low stroke. They are not getting together very well yet, but the work has during the past few days shown some improve ment.
 In the freshman eight Wray sprung a surprise when he took Buxton out of the boat at No. 4 and sent Vogel in During Buxton's illness Vogel was kept there, but he did not do very well. Wray was not satisfied to let Vogel go and put him back in the boat for an other trial In the freshman four Me Leod went back to the boat at No in vtrl1N hoe hapF1 laid up with boils for a week, went out in a pair oar this afternoon and may get a chance In the varsity four in a couple of days
 The Harvard varsity squad this aft ernoon paid their biennial visit to the Yale varsity crew. They arrived short- ly after lunch and stayed for an hour or so. Many of the men were former schoolmates and they fraternized geni- ally. R. F. Herrick, of the graduate advisory rowing committee, arrived this morning to stay until after the race.
 With a fairly strong wind behind 1t, but getting no help from the tide for the first two miles, the Harvard var sity eight in time row to-day made the four-mile course in 21.2S. This is the fastest time of the crew this season and probably faster than anything the Yale crew has done, but, considering the water and wind conditions, the fig- ures are looked upon as not more than passably good. The stroke was about 30 for most of the distance, with an oc- casional short spurt.
 In the freshman eight Wyman was back at No. 5 and his presence steaded the boat. Both the four-oared crews did two miles.

SPORTING NOTES.

|
 One fine piece of work to the credit of West. The Ponies only gathered one safe one off his delivery yesterday. To-day the boys are all allowed free admission into the baseball game at the Rock. Bridgeport will come to this city to afford amusement for the kids.
 T1ckey Is still invincible. He struck out eleven men for Norwich yesterday. Thomas is doing fine work this season with the Rosebuds. He has wen all most twice as many games as he has lost, and is doing better work than any other Norwich pitcher and better than the majority of the State league twirl- CTS.
 Umpire McClough promises to make good In his first appearance in the State league yesterday he did not cause riot.
 The plan of the umpires seems to be to keep the treasury of the league in good condition financially. Fines of $5 are becoming daily occurrence; some days two or three fines of that amount don't even make the lump" blush, O'Leary, of Hartford, was the unfortu- nate individual yesterday.
 New Haven is now back in the old familiar spot at 33S. Now for quick displacement upward.
 The rest of the week are all home games for the Brownies, and they ought to be all victories If West can shut out the Ponies, an aggregation New Haven never could handle, what ought the other pitchers do?
 The WhaIers' new shortstop, LeBeouf, whom the scorer of the Norwich-N New London game of Tuesday, called O'Brien make good appearance in the box score for a New London player. LeBoeuf halls from Canada and has a good reputation.
 By losing to Cincinnati yesterday the Giants dropped down into third place at least for the time being Philadel- phia now has the pleasure of admiring Chicago at long range.

SPORTS HERE AND ELSEWHERE
TENNIS FINALS TOMORROW CONTEST NARROWING Eager Contestants in the Doubles Stay Late at
 the Lawn Club.
!, NARROWING

The play began early and lasted late in the third day of the annual ten his tournament at the Lawn club yes terday. Usually the matches are done by o'clock but yesterday two con- testing teams in the doubles decided to play it out. The match was between Messrs. Sanford and Nettleton and Messrs. Butterworth and Farnam. It was begun before o'clock but so close ly were the two teams matched that 1t took until 7:3O o'clock to finish up the necessary three sets. Butterworth and Farnam were easy victors in the first set, but in the next two sets the tide of fortune turned against them.
 One of the prettiest and hardest fought matches of the day was that between Messrs. Nettleton and Clapp in the third round of the singles. The con- test took nearly three hours to play. After victory in the first set and 8 defeat in the second MT. Nettleton man aged by hard work to pull out a sec ond victory and the title to the match in the third set.
 Westfall, who looks like the winner of the tournament had a strong oppo- nent in F. L. Chase. MT. Westfall meets s. F, Sargent to-day in the semi finals MT, Sargent, who is one of the youngest players in the tournament has shown up strongly this season and has had little difficulty in defeating all whom he has thus far met. He has a good chance, it is thought, at winning the tournament.
 Another match of great interest on for to-day Is that between Richard Hooker and 0, H. Nettleton. Both are showing splendid form and the match promises to be one of the hardest fought of the tournament The winner of this match must meet the winner of Westfall Sargent match for the club cup. The finals will probably be finish- ed tomorrow.
 The number of contestants in the doubles is gradually narrowing down. To-day Grant and Westfall meet Mo- Clung and Hooker. Both are strong combinations and if the matches play cd yesterday are any criterion by which to judge the matches will be pretty watching. The winners in this case must meet Nettleton and Sanford for the championship in doubles
 In the consolation matches MT. In- man is making strong bid for the winning place. A match between Prof. Phelps and Prof. Henderson Is sched- uled for to-day, the winner to meet Prof. Reed in the third round of the contest. The sets in the consolation matches are no less interesting to the spectator than those in which there Is mere science and skill,
 The summary for yesterday is as fol- lows;
 Singles.
 Hooker beat z. Sargent, 6-2, 60.
 Nettleton beat Clapp, 6-1, 9-11, 7-5.
 Westfall beat Chase. 6-1, 6-1.
