McCrane won his first game for the New Havens yesterday, when they de- feated the Ponies by the close margin of one run. A single by Kennedy SCOT ed the winning run in the eighth.

 In the first inning, when Fitzpatrick was stealing home, he spiked O'Con- nor, causing the latter to leave the game. He was replaced by Robarge. A score for New Haven seemed imni- nent in this inning, but pretty base throwing spoiled the Brownies chances.

This race, to be rowed upstream at 5 o'clock for one mile, will be the first test of strength between the unlversi- ties.

 The race is always looked on as a cri- terion on the later races, and will be watched with grearsinterest. Some ex- cltement was caused at Harvard quarters by the announcement that Wallis, stroke of the Yale freshman eight, was laid up and that might have caused the withdrawal of the fresh man four-oared race as Yale has no lIthHLldn SubSlllhNSs pul WOTu Was I6- ceived tonight that he would be able to row tomorrow, Immediately after the freshman four-oared race the an nual race for gentlemen's eights for the Graves cup will be rowed for a half mile. ''Kit' Perkins of Harvard will captain the Harvard boat, and Alex. Cameron will lead the Yale eight The first leg on the cup was won last year by Harvard.

money changing hands.
 It is currently reported that Harvard supporters were looking for Yale money around Broadview Monday night, the Crimson representation be- ing prepared with $4Oo to place on combination bet including all four events. Yale supporters naturally re- fused to bite at a proposition which gave the other fellow every chance to win and none to lose. On the straight single events very little was done.
 On the Yale varsity four there is little doing. This is regarded as al- most a sure thing for Yale.
 The aspect of the freshmen's eight oar race has been materially altered tonight and if the developments which have come to light become more seri- ous the prospects of this crew winning will be endangered.
 B. W. Wallis, stroke of the freshmen eight, was removed from the boat prior to evening practice and was sent to New London to consult 8 physician. His place in the shell was taken by R. M Austin, who has been rowing at No. 4 in the same shell, No. was fill- ed at the evening row by F. c. Hunt, No. 2 in the freshmen four oar.
 Wallis has for about two days been troubled with a severe pain in the ab- domen but had until today refrained from saying anything about it, think ing it would pass away. The exertion of rowing, however, made the pain so excruciating that he was compelled to call MT. Kennedy's attention to 1t. MT Kennedy had him go at once to New London, where he consulted Dr. Dan- iel Sullivan Dr. Sullivan is of the opinion that the pain will not prove serious, and will not interfere mater ially with his rowing in the race.
 The bruise is in the region of the ap- pendix and MT. Wallis thinks 1t was the result of strain received from a kick accidentally given in playing ball on the lawn.
 MT. Wallis has trained steadily and ccrscieutiously since January and he and his companions of the freshman squad all feel extremely sorry this should have occurred just on the eve of the race.
 If Mr. Wallis feels able, and if in the opinion of Coach Kennedy, who is vel versed in all such ailments, he is fit tc occupy his place in the boat, he will do so.
 This incident undoubtedly booms Harvard stock on the freshman race As to the varsity four the same con- ditions prevail as on Monday night {. The crew is in fine shape and barring accident will win.
 Early this morning the flags on the course were strengthened up and the agreed upon changes made by Mir Sohweppe, who later in the day will entertain at the Crocker house the cap tains of the revenue cutters which will police the course regatta day
 Robert Butt of New York, son oi General McCoskry Butt, was the guest of friends at Yale quarters Tuesday aft. ernoon.
 There is no lack of confidence or en. thusiasm at either rowing camp. There Is feeling among Yale men that things are coming their way this year ant that the majority of the races will fal to them. The advance guard of the re. gatta day crowd has already made its appearance this morning and the fresh men four oar and gentlemen's elght races this afternoon will be witnessed by a large number of spectators.

BURGLARS SCARED OFF.
TRY SCHOENBERGER $.
Attempt of Sunday Morning Futile-W Thieves
 Leave Tools.

After encamping before the,b big safe in the office in the Second floor of the E. Schoenberger & Sons market at 9e George street some time Saturday night and planting some really worthy inlpedimenta in the shape of drills, crowbars and other weapons of attack. and after beginning the assault upon the massive door itself burglars hasti- ly retreated with all their labor lost. It is believed by the detectives that the attempted burglary occurred some time about o'clock Sunday morning; that the burglars while peacefully at work, heard noice like detection and that they took their departure in great haste. To support the latter Idea is the fact that they left scattered over the floor about the safe all their kit, which is now on exhibition in the detective headquarters.
 It is believed that the burglars secur- ed entrance by use of a skeleton key in- asnluch as no place has been found by which they could have forced an en- trance Their exit was made by a side door that opens from the inside.
