ALL WELL MATCHED
Poughkeepsie Regatta Will Be Unusually Interesting, as Result Is Very Un-
 certain.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 21.--The five crews entered in the inter-colleg- late regatta to be held on the Hudson River at this point next Saturday af- ternoon will tomorrow enter upon their last week of training with greater uncertainty as to the result of the contest than has been known in many years.
 Contrary to the last two years, there Is no widespread belief that Cornell will win the university eight-oared race. The prestige of a series of vic tories on the Poughkeepsie course seems to have been broken by the de- feats which Cornell has accepted this year. and the Ithacans have come to Poughkeepsie with their Veteran coach admitting frankly that he does expect to see Cornell win more than the Freshman race this year. De- auctions favorable to Syracuse and Pennsylvania are made from the re- suits of the spring races held before the crews assembled here for final training. Harvard defeated Annapo- lis by half length. Annapolis de- feated Columbia by five feet Syra- cuse defeated Annapolis easily by a length and half. All of these races were for two miles, which did not fairly test the endurance of the crews as the big race will be for four miles.
 Harvard defeated Cornell in 7-S miles while Pennsylvania's victory at Ithaca was length and quarter in two miles. Now 1t is argued by those who are fearing" the Cornell stroke if Harvard and Syracuse could beat Annapolis and if Harvard could beat Cornell ten lengths in less than two miles what chance does Cornell stand of defeating Syracuse? By the same plan of deduction 1t is argued that Pennsylvania should defeat Cornell. Such experienced observers as Counte- nay and Ellis Ward say that they have never seen lot of entries that seemed so evenly matched week before the race than are the varsity elghts which pass within sight of one another in daily practice. The man Is rash indeed who accepts the task Of picking a favorite from among Cor. nell, Columbia, Pennsylvania, Syra. cuse and Wisconsin.

Tickets for the Yale-Harvard Com mencement Game On Sale To-day.

The demand for tickets to the Yale Harvard commencement game tomor- row afternoon at Yale field has been so great that only standing room is left. A limited number of these tickets will be placed on sale this morning at 50 cents each. There Is still little room in the outfleld for the automobiles and those who saw the Princeton game from this vantage point say that. better place could not be secured.
 | The team Is in good condition and It's members are confident of winning the game against Harvard. That they were out of condition when they played In Cambridge last Thu. sday there is no doubt. Today they will rest at the Country club, and will be there until after lunch tomorrow.
 The Harvard team arrived Saturday and It's members spent a quiet day at Morris Cove yesterday. Today they will have practice on the Yale diamond, and there will be good crowd In the grandstand to see their methods oi Il play.

CARRICK TO REPORT.
George Bone Has Landed Famous
 Eastern League Pitcher.

It Is now practically sure that two new men will report to Manager Bone some time this week Carrick, who has pitched winning ball in faster company than the Connecticut league, wired the local management Saturday night that he would surely be here and George Lachance said yesterday that he want led to come here If satisfactory arrange ments could be agreed upon. With these two men In the game New Ha- ven's lineup will be greatly strength ened and 1t Is gratifying to know that at least one of them will appear here, If the local management want La chance they can get him and in the opinion. of many his presence would help the team out lot. He knows baseball from the ground up and there aren't many in the game today who can cover the initial sack in better form. His batting no doubt would pick up if he came here and all in all he looks good. Waters will not be able to return here for ten days at least as his mother Is critically i'll In Oberlin O. Jerry Cornell went to Winsted after yesterdays game, where his sister Is dangerously sick with uiceration of the stomach. Simmons hand still troubles 1 him and the team generally Is in q broken-up condition. Yesterday morn ing Duggan was much worse and he probably will not be able to play for some time to come. Phil Corcoran will twirl today and good crowd ought to turn out as Bridgeport has been play Ing great ball of late, having defeated the locals and Springfield in succession.
 Tomorrow New Britain appears here and New Haven plays Q return game at Electric field on Wednesday. Thurs day Holyoke with Bill Hayward on second shows at the Prairie and on
 Friday Waterbury will endeavor to ge, revenge for yesterdays drubbing. Sat urday's game will be with Springfield and the week ought to be good one for the club.
