HARVARD FAv0RITE
 OVER YALE FOR
 TOMORROWS RACE
fspecial from United Press.)

New London, June 29.-Two groups of husky oarsmen, one at Red Top that swears allegiance to Old John Harvard. and the other at Gales Fer rv ready to do or die for the late F;lihu Yale, are literally resting on their oars" today in preparation for tonorrow's annual brush on the river Thames. Harvard still rules the fa- vorite in the betting on the big race bnt tbe Yale adherents are far from downcast.
 Given a pretty day tomorrow the races will be witnessed by the largest crowd that ever gathered along the Thmase. Already the old town is fill ed and every train and boat is bring ing additions. Scores of yachts are anchored in the Thames, conspicuous among them being the big black Cor sair of J. Peirpont Morgan.
 The first struggle between Yale and Harvard will come this afternoon when freshmen fours will engage in a mile race. This is an added event and is not arousing much interest.
 The program for tomorrow, wholly dependent upon weather conditions, provides for the varsity four and the freshmen races tomorrow morning, each at two miles and the big race late in the afternoon, probably not be- fore five o'clock. The varsity four will be started at the four mile point and rowed upstream to the hallway point, from which place the freshmen will start and row over the remainder of the course. The varsity eights will row their four miles downstream.
 The course will be patrolled by four revenue cutters, the Gresham and Acushnet being already on the scene. Harvard rules favorite with little Yale money being wagered.

 Johnson's Training Quarters, Kicks Resort. June 29.-Only six days to wait for the great event for which lovers of the fighting game have been preparing themselves mentally and landed the wallop on Tommy Burns chin. December 26, 1909. Only six days to wait for the fight of the century, between the greatest white man that ever contested under negro gladiator since the days of gallant old Peter Jackson. admitted ly the greatest fighter the race ever produced.
 Reno is alive with the cream of the sporting world and more are have railwaymen been confronted by such problem. Without sufficient trackage, the ingenuity of the traf- ffc department is taxed to the ut- most by the many special and extra trains.
 Six days more and Reno will be filled with thousands of visitors Some have money; others have not. Millionaires rub elbows with pan handlers and swap opinions with winds. Everyone meets everyone else on the same plane. It looks now as if Jack Johnson will enter the ring within a. few pounds of the weight originally figured on, 210 pounds. He has been singularly for tunate in holding his weight despite the predictions and the apparent losses he sustained. The fact that he will do no work save shadow box ing after Thursday gives him an op- portunity to pick up a few pounds be- fore the fight.
 With every effort being made to divert Johnson's mind from the fact that he has an important engage ment next Monday the camp at Kicks Resort is lively. The champion works overtime at his faporite in- strument, the bass vfol. and the mosphere with melody. Mock trials add merriment and today's baseball game between the newspapermen and camp followers with Johnson doing the umpiring. is intended to keep the big chunk of chocolate from getting fretful
 Opinion is divided over Johnson's condition. His followers say he is better than ever. Johnson will go through his training stunts Thursday for the moving picture men. He will spar, skip rope, punch the bag, shadow box, run past the machine as if doing road work, and possibly wrestle a bit. The champion is de- pended upon to put up good show ing. He is always accommodating when publicity is at stake.
 Even in the fight Johnson can be depended on to remember that the machine is stirring in the corner and as long as he can he will be graceful and picturesque.

 The gamblers have screwed the per- centage up to the breaking point and the suckers are going broke. The play for the house is becoming so regular that dealers are kept SO busy they need help to rake in the coin.

 Just notice how Ladd stepped into Laverentz's efforts yesterday. The kid is putting on so much weight lately that if he don't have a care he will soon get into the 400 class.
 The American league pennant for 1909 was raised in Detroit yesterday. Carrying out regular baseball cere- monies the home team lost to Chi conspicuous in the game getting three hits out of four times up off Pitcher Mullin.
 Tom Crooks is setting the league afire with his continual hitting. He is now batting for 1863, most of his drives being for extra bases
 Claude Rossman, former Ho1yoker, has been canned again. Last season he was let go by Detroit to St. Louis, who in turn gave him to Columbus in the American association. Co., lumbus has now gotten rid of him by way of a shift to Minneapolis in the same league.
 Tacks DeLave, the former Lark could not long behave himself in the Three I league. Tacks pitching for the Davenport club was being ham mered very freely by the opposing team. The acting manager, in the absence of the manager, ordered Tacks to the bench, but the latter re- fused. Later when the hits began to rain about him, he quit of his own accord. When the manager heard of the insubordination he suspended De- ampton fans could hardly believe that Tacks could behave himself so long.
 Bridgeport had a grand chance to corral many more runs in the game yesterday. In the eighth inning Nal second by Crooks. Then Ladd re- peated with hit to left, and Bobby Stowe beat out a slow grounder to Metzger. The bases were filled with one down, and Miller on deck. Cy had three balls called and one strike, when he batted at a high one. The result was a. pop fly to Soffe1. Brad Kocher closed the inning with a foul fly to Wadleigh.

 It is hardly probable that Hart lords protest of yesterdays game will stand. It was the ground rules made up before the game that hit into the crowd was good for but two bases. Ump Finn will submit a re- port to President Tracy, and as the former made the ruling. it's a cinch that Hartford will not be benefited.
