MAH-PE FIRST HOME
Yesterday morning the crews and
guests of the fleet visited around the
island and at l o'clock began to get
under way for the run back to San
Pedro. The big racing sloop Mah-pe
was the first to catch a nice breeze af-
ter getting from under the lee of the
island and romped home away. from
the rest by several miles.
The Wave was the next to secure
breeze and arrived back at the club
house second on the list. Mischief l,
which started a little late, made a
splendid run and arrived home third,
the Venus, with John Farnum as skip
per, was the fourth to arrive. The rest
of the fleet had no luck and after
leaving Avalon failed to get far
enough in the open to catch the tail
end of the westerly trades. At late
hour last night the most of the fleet
was estimated to have made but a few
miles from Avalon, several of them
putting back to port to await today S
breeze.
The captain and crew of the Mah-pe,
mostly Stanford and Berkeley men,
made fine showing in the cruise and
it is predicted this big sloop will be
managed this summer in a way which
will make her a dangerous competitor
for any sloop on the coast. The skipper
and owner is Morgan Adams, those

CORNELL CREW WINS
FROM HARVARD EIGHT
Short, Choppy Stroke Easily Su-
perior to Crimson'S Long
Rhythmic Swing

BOSTON, May 30.-Sixteen strong
armed Cornell oarsmen swept Charles
river today the varsity crew defeating
Harvard in a beautiful race by a
length, while the freshmen completely
outclassed the Crimson eight, winning
by six lengths.
1t was Cornell's short, choppy stroke
that proved superior to Harvard's long,
rhythmic swing. The Harvard oarsmen
seemed to have plenty of power, but for
some reason Stroke Cutler was content
with an even 80 from start to finish,
and although this held Cornell for the
first mile in the rough water, in the last
half Cornells swift paddles and numer-
Gus spurts drove its shell steadily away
and there was a bit of open water be-
tween the boats as they darted across
the line.
The time of the varsity race was:
Cornell. 1928; Harvard, 11:27.
In the freshman race it was: Cor

Memorial Day Observed at Row.

All Training Stunts
Associated Press1

BEN LOMOND, May 3O.-Jim Jeffries
spent Memorial day casting for trout
on the San Lorenzo river some miles
above his training camp. The eX-
cessive heat caused the fighter to leave
his camp early in the day to seek cool
recreation along the river, and ac
cOmpanied by Tex Rickard and Jack
Wooley went on a fishing excursion.
The camp however, was aroused to
life by the appearance of james j.
Corbett, former champion heavyweight,
who is to assist in getting Jeffries into
proper form to meet Johnson. Corbett
slipped into the camp unannounced, and
Immediately went to work in the gym
nasium to Timber up and try himself
out at some preliminary stunts, despite
the heat. The former champion ELECTED
much favorable comment from the
trainers who watched him for his agil-
ity, strength, endurance and wind.
During the scorching noon hours vir-
tually the entire camp drifted down the
river to seek cool shady spots, but
about 8 o'clock returned and Corbett
at once donned his working togs. After
a half hour with the weights, an eXer-
else and smart go of shadow boxing,
the fighting actor went into the hand
ball court, where the thermometer
might have registered 80, and played a
brace of smashing handball games. He
won both, and played his opponent into
state Of near collapse, but did not
seem to be satisfied and called for a
new opponent. No response met his
challenge, and to get good sweat and
put his lungs to test Corbett danced
around the handball court at another
session of shadow boxing.
After his hard spell Of work Corbett
went into the rubbing room with Farm
er Burns, Roger Cornell, Bob Arm
strong and Jack Jeffries, and each one
of them in turn told Corbett that he
had shown a world of unexpected pow
er and speed
TN be in great shape in about a
week." said Corbett. For several
weeks I have been doing work, and I
feel good right now. If L can box any
thing like L used to, Jeffries and I
shall have some good old sparring
scraps"
Corbett returned to Santa Cruz in the
evening. He will live there with his
wife until the end of the training sea-
son. He explained that his wife pre-
ferred to live by the seaside, and that
it would give him little trouble to run
the ten or twelve miles to camp by
train each day.

CROWD HOOT JOHNSON
FOR HIS TARDY TACTICS
Billy Delaney Will Supervise the
Training of Big Smoke.
Kaufman Gets Job

SAN FRANCISCO, May 30.-Decora-
tiOn day was a big event in the John
son camp and the big smoke played to
a capacity house in the afternoon,
when he went through his usual box
ing stunts. For all that Johnson kept
his audience waiting three-quarters of
an hour, which occasioned much hoot-
ing and kissing, it was a good-natured
crowd that greeted him when he finally
made his appearance, and good judges
declare it was one of the most salts
factory workouts since he has gone
into training.
Johnson weighed less today than at
any time since his arrival here. Be
fore he stepped on the scales he said
he thought he was down pretty light,
and this was proved when he regis
tered at 215 pounds.
That's a little too light for me-" he
said. "I aim to fight Jeffries at from
20S to 210 pounds and l will have to put
on a little weight in the next few
days.
II am glad to hear that Jeffries is in
good condition." he declared. That's
the way l want him to be, for when
1 beat him I don't care to have the
excuses made that have beaten
cripple or a fellow not in the best of
condition. People who saw him in the
ring the other night say he is in great
shape and that pleases me-"
Johnson's work consisted of eight
rounds of boxing. His best perform
ance was four rounds with George Cot
ton. He followed that UP with three
rounds with Marty Cutler, who begged
off from further exercising, and then
finished up with one round with Dave
Mills.
Tomorrow Johnson will return to his
road work, but on Wednesday ne will
be back in the ring again.
IT was announced at the johnson
camp today that AL Kaufman will join
the crowd of workers at the beach in
another week and that Billy Delaney
has finally consented to supervise the
training of the champion.

Contrary to the dope sheets and the
opinions of numerous local followers
of the game the Bundy Hendrick COM
bination was not very successful
against the internationalist pair, and
Long and Mclaughlin seemed stronger
than was at first supposed. In fast
and furious tennis, with frequent in
terchanges of Volleys at the net, the
local delegation went down to a Sc
we're defeat before .he northerners by
a 60, 6-1 score. Bundy was off his
game and Hendrick was also little
too erratic for a winner, while Long
and Mclaughlin were working like
veterans. The score:

After a considerable delay the mixed
doubles event was called and Nc
Loughlin and Miss Hotchkiss started
out to win back some of the lost laurels
of the northern court artists. They be-
gan the first set with great speed and
far surpassed the work of their OPP
ponents. Bundy did not come near
McLoughln's work in the first division,
but Miss Sutton was rapidly improV-
ing as the match progressed. Miss
Hotchkisss did most of the work on
her side of the net and could not
stand the pace. She was already worn
out by her gruelling match with Miss
Sutton and where Miss Sutton was be-
coming stronger the little northern
champion was fast becoming weaker.
The last two sets went to Bundy and
Miss Sutton by the G-2 route.

In the second set Miss Hotchkiss
started in to play, and by lobbing
deeply, following the ball in and pass
ing Miss Sutton with fast aces, sue
ceeded in taking the lead and coming
in with the big end of the score. In
this division of the match Miss Hotch-
kiss outplayed Miss Sutton at every
point, making twice the number of aces
the local player was able to secere,
and returning seemingly impossible
ones that the local champion placed
along the baseline. Miss Sutton, how
ever. was not seen at her best in the
second set, and the outcome was some
what dependent on her to the extent
that she made several doubles at cr1ti-
cal points and was prone to send the
ball over the back line. During the
lattetr part of the match Miss Hotch-
kiss found it necessary to rest as much
as possible, and her strokes were get
ting weaker and weaker toward the
end.
Miss Sutton opened the third set
with a strong series of her famous
drives and the northern champion
could not recover quickly enough to
touch them. The set was one-sided
throughout and it looked at the first as
though the match would end in love

by II. V. WELLER

Playing a game of determination
against one OF brilliant flashes, Miss
May Sutton, former holder of the
championship of England and of the
United States, defeated Miss Hazel
Hotchkiss, present champion of the
United States, in n spectacular contest
on the Mount Washington courts yes
terday afternoon. Miss HotchkisS
made a game fight and in the second
set looked like an easy winner. Miss
sutton was not in her best form and
netted number of easy ones, but her
superior endurance brought her the
victory.
The largest crowd that has ever
witnessed an affair of the kind in the
south applauded the players, siding
with first one then the other of the
contestants, but finally uniting i'll the
support of the local star. Three thou
sand persons filled the grandstands TO
overflowing and formed solid bank
around the entire field. There were no
awnings and the heat was oppressive,
but the game was too interesting to
notice the flaws. A hot day is always
good one for brilliant tennis, and
yesterday was no exception.
The first match of the days pro-
gram was semi-official in the men's $
doubles Melville Long and Maurice
Mclaughlin against Nat Browne and
Simpson Sinsabaugh. Experts ana
chose who know" were confident that
the local veteran doubles players would
at least annex set in the fray, If
they could not do better against the
nortehrners. The match was sur
prise. Longs aces down the side lines
and McLaughlin's unreturnable service
we're the downfall of the Browne
Sinsabaugh team, combined with Sin
sabaugh's net faults and Browne
wide ones. The internationalists were
