HARVARD WINS.
Defeats Yale by 31z Lengths in Four
Dared Race.

New London, July 1.-Two Harvard
crews, the varsity four and the fresh
man eight, won the morning races
from Yale on the Thames in both
contests the superiority of the win
ners being decidedly marked. Con-
ditions on the river were fairly good.
The first race, the fours, was
ward quarters are, and the finish was
at the navy yard, two miles below.
Whatever advantage the blue seemed
to have in the first half mile was over
come before the mile had been COW
cred. Then the crimson blades began
to dip with stronger power and open
water was increased until Harvard
swept across the finish with prac-
tically three lengths of clear water
between her and Yale's shell.
The official time was:
This is the slowest time ever made
in the event. which now has passed
it's tenth year.
The freshmen eight race was an
easy win for the crimson, the rapid
strong stroke sending the shell into
the lead after the initial burst of
speed of both crews AS the crews
swept down to the finish at the draw
bridge. Harvard had lead of fully 10
lengths.
Both crews were fresh as they
ing on their oars, gave a hearty cheer
to the vanquished eight.
The outcome of the freshmen event
in a measure was discounted some
days ago, although Yale men clung
to the hope that their eight would be
nowerful enough to drive the Harvard
freshmen to a reasonable limit

CUBA IN OLD RUT.
same Condition of Affairs as That
Preceding American Intervention

Havana, July 1.-As a result Of the
failure of the Cuban senate to PASS the
budget. President Gomez. at an early
hour this morning, issued a decree max
ing effective Governor Magoon's budget
OF 190s-9, amounting to $24. .2S5,00o. The
deficiency % cover the cost of the army
and other increased expenses of the re-
public, amounting to nearly $1o,ooO.000
will be supplied by presidential decree.
This will practically repeat the condi-
tions of the last year of the Palma
regime when. in default of a budget,
the DEGREES to this same end, issued by
President Palma. were declared to vio-
late the constitution and precipitated
the revolution of August, 1906.
There is still a possibility that con-
gress may meet tomorrow and pass
the budget in which case the president
nav cancel his decree; but this course
is open to the objection that the con-
stitution makes it mandatory tnat the
budget be accepted before the close of
the fiscaI year. and the fiscal year end
ed at midnight last night.

FANS SUSPICIOUS.
KetcheI May Have Tried to Put One
over on Black.

Salt Lake fight fans will not be sur
prised to hear, coast paper talk at least,
to the effect that there was mighty fun
ny joke pulled off in the COlma arena
Saturday along about the twelfth round.
They may even read something to the
effect that Ketchel did his best to double
cross the black on a pTeaTranged betting
proposition that Ketchel stay fifteen
rounds, through which each would rope
in easy money.
Incidentally this arrangement would
give Ketchel time to get his bearings and
give the Assassin opportunity to land a
haymaker, thereby winning all the money
and all the glory for himself. That he
tried for the sleep producer is certain.
He even landed a good curtain raiser in
the seventh round. In the following
rounds he missed others, and then came
the twelfth. once more he lunged at the
champion and the blow sent the black to
the ground and hurt some besides.
What if it hurt enough to make John
son forget the fifteen-TOund money; to
forget his loL g career of stalling and for
once, with his animal fighting instinct
aroused, to make him sail in to finish
the fights All this might have hap
pened. Johnson might have awakened to
the fact that Ketchel was doing his best
to put him away, as he undoubtedly was
Perhaps for half a minute Johnson had
but one thOught-tO knock his man out
a thing that he could have done long be
fore and a thing that he advised his
close friends to wager on.

GOLF TITLE PLAY STARTS
Great Interest in Game at Country
Club in Both Mems and
WOmen'S Race.

With the qualifying round over and the
first match play started for the men, and
the qualifying round to start today for
the women, golf at the Country club is
now in full swing. In both divisions the
race for the championship title, will be a
holly contested one, with some fine golf
in store for the galleries.
In the first match round play for the
men, T. E McGuTrin, runner-up in 1905
won from Frank Judge in ? up and l
to play; Grant Hampton won from Fred
Hale, up and to play; ]. 7. Gilmer
won from George Steiner, 8 up and 2 to
play; L. ]. Gilmer won from Howard
Baker, up and to play, and DR.. w. L.
Ellerbeck defaulted to Irving Armstrong.
All lS-hole matches.
In the wOmen's play the qualifying
round, eight to qualify will be nine holes.
More enthusiasm than in years past is
seen in the WOmen's play and when the
final matches are neared the matches will
doubtless be followed with large CALLER
les.
The weather has been ideal for golf and
the links are in shape for fast play
throughout the championships.

WILL FIGHT TOMORROW
Pete Sullivan and Indian Joe Gregg
to Mix Before the Sacramento
Cluh

Tomorrow night Sacramento fight fans
will be given a treat that would not go
bad with followers of the game in Utah
and Idaho. As principals in D-rOund
affair will be Peter Sullivan, the well
known and popular local lightweight, and
Indian Joe Gregg. The match was orig
inally billed for Gregg and Harry Krantz,
but last Monday Krantz was put out of
commission with blood poisoning, and
Promoter Joe Richardson looked around
for a man to take his place. Frank Man
tell was there and said that Pete Sulli-
van was the man. A wire followed, and
Pete left at once.
Reports from the California city say
that Pete is making a big hit with the
fans in his training stunts, and plenty
of Sullivan money is in sight. It is the
first fight of note that Pete has had
since he whipped Cyclone Johnny ThOmp-
son at POcatellO last January, and his
many friends are glad that he has an
other chance to show his excellent class
as a lightweight. While Petes training
time was short, he left Salt Lake in top
condition and will be ready tonight.

he picked up four Pittsburg friends and
took them over to see the fun. Going
up to the box office, he took out a bill
and asked for five tickets.
-"Oh, Mr. Wagner" said the man in
the ticket booth, 1.-THE courtesies of this
show are always extended to ball play
ers. You will please accept these five
tickets with the managers compli-
ments.'
Il beg your pardon" said Hans, but
my name is not Wagner. My name is
Smith, but l am often taken for the
Pittsburg player. I must insist on pay
ing for the tickets"
Wagner had not been inside Madison
Square Garden five minutes before he
was recognized, and several thousand
people began crying: "Wagneri Wag-
nerr" Hans picked up his hat and start
ed away. Goodnight, fellows, I'm no
freak" And Hans went back to his
hotel to bed
The one drawback to baseball, in the
estimation of Hans, is the unavoidable
notoriety connected with it.

TIGER SHORTSTOP VERY
POPULAR AT OLD HOME

indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 16.-Owen
Bush, the sensational young shortstop of
the Detroit Tigers, formerly of this city,
and who played on the American Asso-
citation team here, is one of the youngest
players in the major league, having just
reached his majority. Coincidentally,
his birthday fell on the day of the open
ing of the series for the worlds cham
pionship.
Bush has plenty of nerve, and knows
nothing Of the crowd when he goes in
the field. He simply plays all the base
ball there is in him all the time, and it
makes no difference to him whether
there is an army or handful of specta-
tors.
Indianapolis fans, with few excep-
tons, pulled for Detroit on account of
the presence of Bush on the team, and
because former Indian Eddie Summers
also is with the Tigers.

The race for riding honors is now one
of the head and head kind, The prediction
made a week ago that Singleton would
soon head the list in the matter of win
ming mounts has already been realized.
His work in the saddle last week was
remarkably good, as he put over nine
winners in the six days, giving him six
teen winning mounts to date. While Sin
gletOn has one advantage in having the
horses of the best stable at the track to
ride, there is something more than that
to account for his showing. In the mat
ter of judgment one of the chief requi-
sites to success in the saddle, he is I'M
questonably the most finished rider here.
Singleton is an old hand at the business
and he has been good rider for several
years At present Fischer and Vandusen
are pressing him hard for first place, the
