Mayor Mahan In
 AeropIane Circles
 Over Racing Crews
Takes Flight with Aviator Atwood in Zig-Zag Over Course as Yale and Har- ward Varsity Fights Strain Below.

New London, July 1.-An unexpect- ed event was added to the YaIe-Har- ward boat race program late yester- day afternoon by Harry N. Atwood who with Mayor Bryan F. Mahan by his side for the first time in the his- tory of the regatta followed the Var sity eight race in an aeroplane. He had flown over from Squantum Field Boston, in the morning with his me- chanician, James Fleet, as a passeng- CT, a distance of 135 miles, in 2 hours and 1 0 minutes, not an inconsiderable feat in itself, and delighted the crowds as the race was in progress by his perfect command of his ma chine over the river.
 Atwood started from Boston at ' o'clock in the morning. He made a bee line for Quincy and then steered by South Braintree and Brockton to Bridgewater, Middleboro, Taunton, Fall River, and Newport were next passed, and then he crossed Narra gan sett Bay to the tracks of the New Kingston. He followed the railroad to this city, and few minutes after g o'clock the sound of his propeller whirring overhead warned the crowds that som mething unusual was happen ing.
 They saw the Burgess-wright bi- plane, 300 feet in the air, turning up the river, passing over the draw bridge, and then volplaning to a landing on a hill behind the River side Iron Works on the west bank. As 1t passed every yacht let go her whistle and flags of every hue were waved in a wild salute. The crowd rushed after Atwood and collected around his machine in so dense a mass that the farmer to whom the field belonged ordered him away.
 Atwood telephoned to the New London police and E. S. NelIan> of the Business Mems Association hur- rfed out to fetch him in an automo- bile. With his mechanician he was brought to the Crocker House, where the Mayor greeted him and offered him the freedom of the city. In re- turn Atwood invited MT. Mahan to take flight with him in the after noon.
 When the eights were sent on their way. the biplane was already high ever the river. With the Mayor way ing salute to the crowd below, At wood lodged backwards and forwards over the course, circling back when ever he outpaced the oarsmen. Just before the finish he swooped down Harvard eight crossed the finish line made landing on the bank
 Mayor Mahan in talking of his ex- perience, declared:
 Automobile are not in it with airships. I wasn't the least afraid after we had reached the river, for I can swim like a duck and the height didn't bother me. When MT. Atwood made his ascent I stood up in the biplane and was just ready to jump. but the machine suddenly darted up- wards ard fairly bounded along the lanes marking the course.
 T saw a number of my friends as l swept past. l waved my hand kerchief to them, but we flew too fast for them to recognize me-
 Atwood and his mechanic are scheduled to fly to Mineo1a l.. T., to- day, and he declared last night that he did not see any reason why he should not cross the Sound without special difficulty

The lure of the circus, casting a stronger spell over. a Barnum town denizen than an inhabitant of any other village, did not phase those who dictate the affairs bf the City baseball league. Last night the league moguls met and instead of decreasing their membership by one. increased it by the same numbeE, annexing the Lin- coins to the fold-X

He asked a personal question of each manager if he was responsible but in each instance the answer came back in the negative. Kreuther was perfectly willing to have hia. team drop should the league so decide, but he was peeved, somewhat, to think that his outfit should be selected as the victim.

Harvard Giants
 Toy With YaIe's
 Eight On Thames
Crimson Gives Eli Worst Beating in History, Win
 ming by 16 Lengths

New Lon don, July Rowing with machine-like precision eight young giants from Cambridge last evening led Yale all the way down the varsity course on the Thames and gave the wearers of the blue the worst whip ping that Harvard has administered to Yale since. Jim Wray began to coach the crimson eights and win vic tories for Fair Harvard.
 Harvard led at the finish by sixteen boat lengths; the crimson's time was 22 minutes A seconds. Yale's almost a minute slower: 23 minutes 40 1-2 seconds.
 The Yale men, despite the fact that the stroke had been changed and the eight entirely rearranged since May 20, thought they had a chance to win this race
 The Ellis had attempted in this brief space of time to go back to their old style of rowing, namely, the Bob Cook stroke. Their coaches and grad uates thought their crew had improv- ed and would at least give Harvard a close, hard race, and might possibly win. Harvard men also expected a good race. When the crowd saw the Cambridge boat beat Yale by seven crease this lead on each succeeding half mile but one, they could hardly believe their eyes
 Out of the three races rowed Yale scored but one victory The blues freshman crew, rowing a beautiful race, led Harvard from the very start and won by two boat lengths. In the four-oared race Harvard won by another big margin, beating Yale by more than four lengths. Yale got considerable consolation out of her victory in the freshman race, because the Ellis had pinned their faith to these youngsters and look to them for their future rowing material

New Britain, July By pounding Sager out of the box in the first inn- ing yesterday, Bridgeport chalked up seven runs and obtained a lead that enabled McCann's men to beat New Britain by to g. Ivor Swanson was going great for Bridgeport. He had lots of smoke and the Cubebs could get but eight scattered hits.

 Bridgeport trimmed New Britain at Electric Field yesterday afternoon. the visitors putting it all over the home team in the first inning. After that it was a good game. Sager opened for the Aviators but was retired before the close of the inning, after Stone had come to the bat. Mclean took his place and showed the fans that he had an unexpected bunch of bou- quets. He held his own with Swan son.
 Snyder opened the first with hit Litschf was safe on Warmers error Crook singled and Snyder and Litschi scored. Ladd retired on grounder.

Sailor Burke Is Victor Over Nelson
Sends Australian Down for Count in Third Round
 of Slugging Bout

Sailor Burke of Brooklyn knocked out Ted Nelson of Australia in less than three rounds of boxing at the Twentieth Century Club, New York, last night. Before a minute of the third session had elapsed Burke cross ed over a hard right to Nelsop's jaw and the Australian toppled oveH to the floor so limp and helpless that Referee Charlie White had to pick him up and carry him to his corner.
 The knockout was delivered as a counter to Nelson's lead. The Austra- Han had sent over a left which fell short, when Burke, spring forward, shot in light straight left jab to Nelsons face. This punch was a range finder. It had scarcely landed when Burke ripped over fierce right hand hook to the jaw.
 Nelson crumpled up and Referee White counted ten over him and pick ed him up. While White held Nell son Burke tried to hit the boxer, but White pushed him to his corner.
 It was fast slugging bout. Both men had old scores to wipe out and they tried to do it with hard wal lops Burke had lost his previous bout with Nelson by striking foul blows repea tedly. So Nelson was an- xious to knock out Burke with a punch.

an unanimous vote of the directors. under promise by Manager Murphy that they would abide by the league rules. and post the required forfeits. The LincolnS have the privilege of playing their games at the Meadows. Manager Murphy has been assured by Manager Howard Dunbar of the New fields, who have constructed the grounds, that his team will not of- fer any interference, but he could not absolutely guarantee the grounds for all season.
 There is a league rule which says that a second forfeit of S25 shall be test is played in July. By motion of Manager Kreuther the time of pay ment was extended till August 1. Man ager Fred J. Voos of the North Ends threw surprise into the meeting when he presented a bill for $9.53. He showed bill for $25 for work done on their grounds, and also presented a list of receipts. the s953 being the difference, which he expected the league to assume. The directors dis agreed with him, but delayed action until a later meeting. The North Ends have been returned their $25 forfeit money, posted when the season open ed.
 Player DoIan of the North Ends ap-
 
 fort to erase the stigma of rowdyism which has been placed against his club. The league took no action but showed enough courtesy to listen to his statements. He accused the Eagles and Black Rocks of stealing somel of the North Ends players, which statements both Managers Jack Halpin of the Rocks and Chris McMa- hon of the Eagles, denied
 The North Ends are a game crowd and intend to show the public that there is no foundation to the charges of poor sportsmanship brought by the Eagles against their outfit. They make the claim that it Is their su- periority over the other clubs of the City league that has caused the lea- que directors to take such drastic action in dropping them from mem- bership. To show that they are on the level and play clean ball, the North Ends challenge the Eagles for Tuesday morning at Newfield park for $25 per side and the entire gate re- ceipts. They have the assurance of Manager McMahon of the Eagles that his club will never again play the North Ends, but believe that if there is any sporting blood in the Eagles makeup. that the latter will accept the challenge.
