RESULTS OF THE
INTERCOLLEGIATE RACES.


POUGHKEEPSIE. n. Y, july a.
For the third time since the organiza-
ton of the Intercollegiate Rowing AS
ISOLATION In 1896 Cornell yesterday
swept the Hudson clean, winning first
place in the varsity eight-oared race,
the varsity four-oared race and the
freshman eight-oared race and adding
more glory to the victory by clipping
several seconds off the records of the
two-mile course in the last two events.
In each race the Ithacans jumped into
the lead at the start and were never
headed. Syracuse gave them a great
contest in the freshman race, while
Columbia by a splendid squirt pressed
Courtney's men hard in the last mile
of the varsity race, but never were the
Cornell crews really in danger.
1t was the most remarkable performance
in the history of college owing in America
and the victory carries with II the college
rowing championship of America. for Cor
nell had previously defeated Harvard. the
winner over Yale Yesterday at New Lon

conditions lave prevailed in other years
when slower time was made. BY the tirne

had begun to slacke Had his race been
rcwed earlier in the afternoon the chances
are three new records would nave been
established. The performance puts Cor
nell in possession OF all the records for
the course.
Finer coalitions of water and over
head could not be desired. A cloudless
sky was overhead, while the temperature
was not so high as to be uncomfortable.
Hundreds of yachts were grouped In a
line near the finish line. and down the
LAM thus formed the crews struggled to
the finish. The yachts were a mass Of
colo. and as each winner crossed the
line salutes were fired. The observation
train was damned and seats brought a
tremendous price in the morning and early
In the afternoon. The banks of the Hud-
son were hidden by the dense crowds OF

I won't be the fault of the manage

City teams If the fans in those
cities don't have enough baseball in the
next few days, for, beside the double
header in Jersey City today, there will
also be one here tomorrow and then a
morning and afternoon game on Mon
day. The morning game will be in
Skeetertown and the afternoon session
here in our own busy little city. There
was a postponed game 70 be played off
over there and one here. and advantage
win be taken Of the opportunity to
clean up all the games, so that the
cities will get in all the scheduled af-
fairs. So that instead of an eight-game
series, ten games will be played be-
tween the Tigers and the Skeeters.
The Bengals are not a bit discouraged
over the two unexpected defeats handed
them. The only reason that the Skeeters
won the last was that they had their hit

few days. With a double bill for the
holiday carnival of tomorrow night and

Kramer for the first time in a
title event, the appearance of Kramer
and Clarke as opponents in an unlim-
tied Australian pursuit race Monday
night. besides twelve other races dur
ing this two nights of cycling. a new
epoch in the sport is certain.
All the star professionals will start in the
championship and the Sitting process in
the preliminary heats will bring four men
down to the final. The fact that this final
heat will be for five miles is causing a lot
of speculation. and friends of Clarke and
Kramer are strong IN the claims for the
favorites. Fogier, Fem, Root, John Be
dell. Floyd Krebs and Eddie Rupprecht are
strong PROBABILITIES as other qualihers. The
field will be sent away by Floyd MaeFar-

mer ard Clarke. Kramer will start from
the tape side of the track. that is, from
in front of the grand stand. at the usual
starting point. while Clarke will get away
from the opposite side of the track at the
twelfth pole, In front of the bleachers. A
good start IN this will mean a great deal
and early spirits win count for a whole lot.
The purse for this race alone Is $500. to
be divided $500 to the winner and 500 to
the second.

is such as TO. furnish fine sport 1t Will be

In 1880 he took part in the players
rebellion and Joined the Brooklyn Club,
of the Brotherhood. After that i'll
timed league broke up he cast his lot
with Baltimore. Fol two seasons he
he was sold to Pittsburg, the club
which wanted him first. Al the close
of the season he was sold to New York,
where he did his most brilliant playing.
The Pittsburg management thought he
was all in, but Van fooled them and did
had played already.
with New York he was the star
centre fielder, star base-runner and
~run-getter. From 1899 to 1902 he hit
better than 300. Even at that time he
was called the wonder of baseball from
a standpoint of service and ability.
Only an accident stopped his major
league career. But for the accident he
might have remained with the big parade
At least four years more. On Nav go.
1902, he was stealing second and had the
bag easily and went in standing up. He
snapped a ligament in his ankle and was

tthieih0ti vi IL otdSOn uIlu IlOSl u 1870.
In 1904 he went to Seattle and In 1905 to
Oakland.
with Oakland he topped the batting
order. He was foxy, lie was hard to
pitch to, he could cover ground in the
field and could bat. He was a valuable
man. But the effect of old age n his
accident told gradually and he has been
let down. Van Haltren's faithfulness al
ways was one of his strong points. From
1887 till 1902 the longest he ever was out
of the game was three weeks. During
three seasons. with New York he failed
TO miss a game.
From 1885 to 1868 with only one season
OF idleness is quite a record for any ball
player. Three years leading the National
League in run getting also is quiteuan ac-
compllshment. But, old age finally got
him and Van Haltren will retire to an
honestly earned vacation. He Is A years
old, but fortunately has laid aside enough
money to make his remaining days easy.
There are few men who have done so
well in baseball. Twenty-four years of
Baseball actively is a lot.
