GOOD CONDITION
TELLING FACTOR
FOR CAMBRIDGE
Easy Victory Attributed
10 Superior Training
of Crew.

LONDON, April 4.-''Cambridge all the
way and an easy win"
That is the story of today's eight
Dared varsity race over the historic
Thames river course, and once again
the ''favorite' won. But at that il
was great race. Superior condition
ing was responsible for the victory OK
the winners, but for a time It was the
real thing IN aquatic contests. And to
the best men went the winners honors
Long before the hour set for the
errival of the crews the exodus of
visitors from the city was apparent
Last night conveyances were crowded.
but today Il was not who could, go.
rather IL was how can we go?" and
the banks Of the river were jammed
with a distinct holiday-making crowd
as the sun rose over the fat lands
beyond.
Crew Receives Ovation.
Cambridge was the first to appear.
and as the eight padded toward the
start at Pdtrey they were cheered TO
the echo. Their rivals were not long
behind them, and as the oxford crew
sculIed into the chase-surrey side Of
the course the assembled spectators
realized that the outsiders in the betting
had won the toss and had chosen the
sheltered side Of the river.
As they lined Up TO the starters gun
the scene was possibly, with two eKcep-
tons, the most brilliant in the history
Of the contest. From a Cloudless sky
the sun poured down, penetrating the
chilly air with a delightful warmth, and
the longth. smooth stretch of the course
was but slightly ruffIed here and there
by a kittenish westerly wind that abso-
lutely failed, even at the most exposed
spots. TO kick up even the slightest sug-
gestion of a white cap"
The Start.
It was just clipping S:s1 as the STAG
cato report Of the pistol resounded
across the idle silver. and with the sig
nal the TWO crews caught the water
as one man. For the scant portion of
a minute they hung on well-nigh even
terms. and the crowd cheered with all
the force Of a high pressure steam cal

But no one was 10 be left long in

fore the first quarter Of a mile had been
covered the 'canLdDS began 10 uIdN
into the lead First it was the advan-
tage Of an oar. then it was a triflle
more. and so on. by the veriest fractions
Of inches the Cambridge men drew al
most imperceptibly into the lead.
Cambridge Takes Lead.
Passing Craven Steps. the men from
Cambridge, pulling IN magnificent uni
son. had Increased their advantage 70
half a length. There their coxswain
seemed satisfied to keep item, and as
they swept along the course to Crab
tree they slid along easily, maintain
ing an advantage that could be plainly
increased.
Smiling back at the diminutive steers

the light blue held his own for a time,
and then -smilingly following the In
structions poured into his ear by the
coaches just before the start he sig
nailed the coaches, and they began to
init it up"
This ended the race. Thereafter il
was simply a procession. Passing Har-
. rods wharf. the favorites had good
, two lengths advantage Of the contest
and were pulling well within them
selves.

HACK EXHIBITIONS
IN THIS COUNTRY
FINANCIAL Loss
Wrestling Fans Balk at
Grand Opera Prices
for Seats.

Hackenschmidl' defeat by Frank
Gotch and the consequent failure 20
land the big purse means more to the
foreigner than a failure 20 sustain his
athletic prestige.
For while Hack stands for square
craftsmanship he is in the game for
cash the one marked difference be
tween him and the usual run OF
wrestlers being that LIS business meth
DDS are on the level and conducted on
the principle that honesty IS the best
policy in the wrestling profession as
well as in every other line of business.
And there's the rub. From all &C
counts Hacks American visit must be
about as big a financial frost as some
recent Sarah Bernhadt farewell tours.
Unduestionab'y the exhibitions have
been edifying from an athletic stand
point, but like all geniuses Hack seems
doomed TO that lack Of appreciation
which IS popularity associated with
genius.
Management to Blame.
In this case the public is hardly 10
blame. Maybe Hack isn't. either. But
his managers should have awakened BY
this time to the fact that wrestling at
grand opera prices doesn't go on Amer
lean soil. True. Hacks work is far ahead
OF anything seen here before. but the
public. while feeling a deep interest in
wrestling. isn't willing to be educated
UP TO the prices.
In New York the house 10 which Hack
played was about one-third filed Vet
~
city draw double the crowd that wit
messed the foreigners performance. II
is said that the Gotham matches were
a dead loss.
Setback in Philadelphia.
In Philadelphia. which is more daffy
on wrestling than New York. he en-
countered an even bigger setback. The
Academy of Music. much smaller than
the house in which he appeared while
in New York. WAS but One-third full
In Baltimore. mainly on account Of
the local interest attached 10 the ap-
pearance of Americas, who is some
thing OF an idol with wrestling follow
ers in the Monumental City. the Lion
drew fair house. And in Washington.
despite the fact that the matches were
mere exhibitions of strength. since no
formidable opponents were entered. the
proceeds left q small dividend after
paying expenses.
Gallery Gods Save Day.
The only thing that saved the pro-
moters a large loss was the gallery con-
tingent, which packed the Convention
Hall balcony, in marked contrast to the
loIeSOmeness on the big and empty
floor About 100 people saw the matches
in Washington and OF these over 100
were seated in the gallery.
'rhe Washington baseball and grand
opera fans are not the only ones who
bite consistently. but even the local
sports refused 10 turn out in full force
at the prices charged for the exhibition
in this city.

Aged Capitalist Chops
Family to Pieces
ESTATE OF TWENTY SIX
CENTS IN LITIGATION
Heir of Man that Committed Suicide
Begins Lawsuit for Distribution
of Decedent's Effects.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Twenty six
cents, representing the total estate OF
Simon Siegenthaler, who committed
suicide in October of last year, is IN
litigation, and B. G. Hammond, the
dead mans sonin-law, has applied TO
Surrogate Noble, OF Queens county,
for letters of administration on his
father-in-law's estate.
When the body of Siegenthaler was
picked up, "a cents, a pen knife, a bag
OF tobacco and a purse were the only
articles found in the clothing. These
articles passed through the hands OF
the coroner's office into those of Public
Administrator John T. Robinson, Of
Newton, and then into the hands Of
City Chamberlain Martin, who sold
the purse and knife realizing 2 cents,
which increased the original amount TO
26 cents, which was duly turned into
the city chamberlain's fund and the
records Of the transaction properly ser
forth in the archives of New York
city.
1t was at this stage that Hammond,
who is a native OF South Carolina, ap-
peared and demanded his father in
laws effects. He declined to believe
that all his father-in-law left was &c
cents, so in order 20 compel an ac-
counting and division of the estate
he has applied to Surrogate Noble.
Siegenthaler left three children. So
that il the estate of 26 cents is divided
among them they will each receive
s 2-3 cents.
