Creh Beats
Yale for Fourth Time
Crimson Eight First by Many Lengths:
Blue Four Defeated: Eli Freshmen
Win: Airship Follows Crews

New London. Conn, July 1.-The
Harvard varsity crew yesterday after
noon beat its Yale rivals from the first
eighth of a mile to the finish and they
were so far ahead that a biplane cir
cling above had to make all sorts of
additional twists to keep within View
ing distance of the finish and the
crowd on the observation trains and
the river banks inquired: who's the
iyer?" rather than Who won?"
For the first time in history a Yale
class has graduated without having
seen in its collegiate career a winning
blue varsity eight Four times in sue
cession Harvard made it yesterday,
when the crimson eight walked away
with the varsity race by so many
lengths that it would be foolish to at
tempt to count them.
The time was: Harvard. 22:44; Yale,
23:401s. That meant about fifteen or
sixteen lengths. or nearly a fifty of a
mile difference. The crimson was
never once in danger or under the
necessity of working hard.
1t was an odd sort of an affair yes
terday. 1t was not so much a race of
oarsmen exhibition of aeroplane
driving aloft. The frail craft of the

first round. Chance and his men hung
on to II with grim determination until
luck brought them the opportunity to
strengthen their grip in the eighth in
ming. A slight slip of the spikes while
the Reds were on the defense gave
Chances men the opening, and in a
flash they improved IT to the extent
of two runs before the enemy could
recover its footing.
That slip proved the turning point of
the scrap. for in the last half of the
same round Griffth's gang jumped on
Mordecai Brown for two clearly swat
ted tallies, which would have won the
game but for the break in the home
fences right ahead of them.

Cleveland. o.. July Ed Walsh
ground the helpless Maps into the dust
yesterday and got deep revenge for
the things they did to him on the pre-
ceding day The big Chicago twirler
was going al his best speed from first
to last, letting the struggling locals
down with four tiny singles, and won
his game without an effort, the score
being 8 to /.
Big Walsh hadn't pitched very long
before all the speed and daring the
Maps had shown in the three first
games had disappeared and they strug-
gled like helpless school children be-
fore the big fellow from then on. Ed
had dandy support or the game would
not have been such an easy one for
him to win. Old Cy Young. the vete-
ran of twenty-three summers. was sent
to the slab, and the way the Sox clout-
ed his delivery was a shame. 1t was
no way to treat old man and the
gallant warrior of past years retired
in favor of younger blood after he had
worried through six innings.

air was of more interest to the many
thousands looking on than the frail
craft of the water.
The ad-shouldered brown-tanned
athletes of the boats lined up a little
below Gales Ferry at a few minutes
after o'clock Yale was to the east
bank Harvard to the west. The start
ing gun had scarcely sounded when a
whir sounded overhead and Wright
biplane buzzed into view.
The blue boat shot ahead, propelled
by forty strokes a minute. and at the
end of 100 yards had a lead of about
half a length. Harvard. going at a "a
clip, was behind it, but apparently
holding it steadily. Up above. 500
feet or so. the aeroplane easily dis
tanced both and wheeled around as
to keep within sight of what was do
ing All eyes were turned upward,
instead Of outward toward the river.
Inside of a quarter of a mile it be-
came apparent to everybody that the
blue had no chance whatsoever; that
they were being rowed out of their
seats, and were going to be rowed far
Their out at every sroke they made.
Between the second and third mile
the airman took the entire attention
of the crowd.
