AMERICA WILL HAVE
NO CREW AT OLYMPIAD.

NEW YORK, June 4-James Pix
ington and Julian w. Curtiss, the COM
mittee appointed to select an American
crew to compete in the Olympic games
at London. announced yesterday that
no crew could be sent, They say they
failed to receive the support of the col
leges in their scheme to select an eight
from the pick of the men seen at the
New London and Poughkeepsie re-
gattas, and that they also failed to get
the colleges to meet in a try-out race
at the regatta in Philadelphia on
May %.
Yale and Penn were willing, but Har-
ward, Columbia and Cornell refused to
agree to such a race. THUS the COM
mittee found it impossible to enter a
crew by June l, the last day of grace.
The committee also expresses a doubt
whether a crew could have been sent
even If it had been picked, as the con-
%tributions have been coming in In a
most n~iggardly way.
In fact, rich America couldn't raise
the price to send a team abroad, and
but for the hustling of the athletic
clubs there would be no Yankee team
at the Olympic games.

PRINCETON. June 4-Princeton
amply ~revenged its defeat of Tuesday
by overwhelming Amherst yesterday by
a score of 9 to 0. Heyniger did wonders
with the ball, keeping the hits widely
scattered, while Bricks curves were
easily solved. Thirteen hits was the
total run up by the home players, and
n of these was a home run in the
seventh by the recently developed heavy
hitter, Heyniger. which brought in
Wister.
The Princetonians punched hits at
will, with the result that they scored
six earned runs. Their exhibition of
fielding was very encouraging after
Tuesdays miserable showing. In fact,
Vaughn made the Tigers only error,
when he juggled the ball in the third
inning.
The visitors four misplays came al
critical times, and proved costly each
time. The score:

Having disposed of the Skeeters, or,
rather, the series, S~tallings's men
shouldered their guns today and left
on a hunt for Orioles. According to
advance reports, a choice flock of this
species is said to be lowering down

named Baltimore, to be exact, and
S%tallings has an idea that he will bag
at least two of the three games. That
may be easier said than done, for down
in their own meadows those Birds have
been known to fly high, but Dunn's
men have cause to remember a certain
game on a certain Sunday in this town,
when our Tigers just waded into them,
scored six run in a certain inning and
won in a walk.

that Newark o~utbatted. outfelded and

Hughes put twelve strike-outs to his

Protests Against Representative
Smiths Opposition to Extension of
Sierra Forest Reserve Desired
by Los Angeles

On account Of the opposition of Con-
gressman Smith to the extension of the
Sierra forest reserve to include the
Los Angeles aqueduct and the owens
river to its head waters, the Los An
geles chamber of commerce announced
yesterday that 1t had sem the following
telegrams to President Roosevelt on
Apr II:
ITO the President, White House,
Washington.
1--WE understand that Representative
Smith of California is about to file with
you a protest against the extension of
the Sierra Forest Reserve, which is de-
sired by the city of Los Angeles, and
which is recommended by the secretary
of the interior. Smiths personal attack
on the interests of Los Angeles we be-
lieve to be identical in motive with the
former opposition Of himself and the
p5,,er companies to the grant by con-
gress of rights of way for the Los
Angeles aqueduct, which opposition
was overcome only through your per-
sonal intervention. We also believe the
proposed extension urgently necessary
for the carrying out of such an aque-
duct project and for protecting the
source of water supply against pollu-
ton.
preliminary work on the aqueduct
is now completed Seven hundred men
are at work already and the force Is
rapidly being increased. Over $1,000,00O
of bonds bearing per cent interest
have been taken within the last four
months by California purchasers In aid
of this project.
1.-THE city board of public works is
preparing and will forward Immediately
a written statement for submission to
you.
