.TO-DAY'S BIG RACE
MAY GO TO CORNELL
OR COLUMBIA CREW
Dark Horse in Leland Stanford
Crack California Eight-Bet-
ting Fayors. Comedians.
SIX SHELLS WILL COMPETE

Poughkeepsie, June 2.-Rowing experts
who have been watching the crews that
will contest here tomorrow in the
intercollegiate regatta are almost univer-
sally Of the opinion that the laurels for
the varsity race will be won by either Cor
nell or Columbia University.
OF the other four crews In the race
Pennsylvania, Syracuse. Wisconsin. and
Leland stanford-Pennsylvania and syra-
cuse are held to be the most dangerous
rivals Of the favorites.
The dark horse in to-morrow's race will
be the Leland Stanford eight. This crew
is the winner Of all aquatic events on the
Pacific Coast this year, and II was in the
expectation OF winning honors in the
greatest rowing event in the East that
they were sent from California by a sub
scription OF 5000 The money was put up
by the alumni OF Leland Stanford Uni
versity.
Chief interest, however. Is centered in
the Cornell eight. Cornell has achieved
victory in all but one OF the twenty-one
races she has competed in the last three
years. The event she lost was the fresh
man race OF last year. She will enter
to-morrow's regatta with a veteran crew,
all but one Of last years invincible oc-
tette being in the varsity boat.
Betting Favors Cornell.
Betting on the coming race, while
slightly favoring Cornell and Columbia
crews, has not been OF such a decided
character that a walk away is looked for
In fact, Coach Charles E. Courtney, of
the Cornell crew, this country's highest
authority on rowing. tonight made the
statement that never before in his ex-
peTience had he seen six crews so cap
able a5 the six that have been training
here for the past few weeks.
Thousands Of collegiate alumni are IN
town Among them are representatives
not only OF the six colleges to race in
the intercollegiate contest but OF almost
every university OF any standing in the
United States. The reason for this re-
maIkable attendance is the universal be-
lief that the intercOlleg giate regatta to-
morrow will probably be the greatest COL
lego boat race ever seen in this coun-
try and also that the winner Of the
event may justly claim the championship
of the world.
The championship claim will, OF course,
be in no way official II is, however,
made possible by the speediness OF the
crews and by the fact that 50 far the
eight-oared events OF Europe have failed
to hang up figures which are regarded
in expert circles as good time

FIRST GAME.

Jim Vaughan and Chief Bender were In

started. Vaughan worked until the ninth,
when Joe Engel relieved him. Bender

McInnis and the White Elephants had
jumped into the lead with a pair Of
tsllies.

Walker singled, took second on Shanks'
infield out, and scored on McBride's s
pretty single to center.

third. A base on balls to Collins proved
fatal, as Baker tripled to the right field

SECOND GAME.

In direct contrast TO Jim vaughan's
start was the work OF Barney Petty In
the second game. Not a member Of the
Mack tribe reached the mid station for
seven innings. and Petty allowed but
three scattered hits, while the Nationals
jumped on Cy Morgan IN the second and
choked four runs out OF his system.

With the score ( TO in favor OF the
Nationals nobody in the crowd was wor-
rying much about the outcome. It was
figured that we could spot the Athletics
a couple OF runs and still beat them

he sent everybody into mysteries with
a long triple over Shanks' head, send

up the game. This smash came unher-
aided and unexpected. The fans groaned

Johnson's own wildness in passing
Maggert in the Athletics tenth, a wild
pitch, swinging bunt from Collins, and

On RAinn Calm

One of the finest things within reach
Of the average individual Is calmness.
1t is also profitable.
Calmness Is the twin sister Of cam
fort. The man or woman who has
formed the habit of calmness is apt to
be comfortable when others are un.
comfortable.
Nor Is 1t such a difficult matter to
make this habit feel enough at home
to become a member OF the family!
For calmness Is about ninety per
cent freedom from fear.
As a rule. the person who is not calm
Is afraid Of something or somebody.
Afraid Of self. perhaps. And that is
the most disconcerting sort Of fear.
The way to be calm Is to be calm.
When the winds Of adversely or dis
appointment or encouragement are
seeking to ruffie your mental seas.
keep remembering that there Is no
such a thing as a comfortable passage
with the waves beating high. So. keep
calm.-Philadelphia North American.

once before at a greater distance than
twenty-five meters (eighty-two feet.
If the person is well known to one. one
may recognize him at from fifty to a
hundred meters, and If IT Is a member
Of ones family, even at $50 meters
The whites of the eyes may be see al
from twenty-seven to twenty eight ne
tiers and the eyes themselves at sew
enty-two to seventy-three meters. The

Ocular pefncts In Artists.

1t was said of the late Edwin A. ABB
hey that his nearsightedness had much
TO do with his close attention to de-
tail, one of the characteristics of his
art. An illustrator who does work
In black and white. speaking of Mr..
Abbey's conscientious dra wing In Of
details. wondered how much ocular
defects accounted for certain aptitudes
Of well known artists.
"A cynical person told me the other
day." he said. that he half believed
every impressionistic painter was
nearsighted and drew what he a
with his glasses or. 1t sounds SEN
sible.
"And consider me. l am completely
color blind. | cannot even tell blue
from yellow. a failing which is rarer
than red-green color blindness.
"Yet l would not see colors If I
could. When l draw. you see. / put

A FREAK OF NATURE.
The Curious Vegetable Caterpillar Of
New Zealand.

NV Sd''od sSSSNoOlS - OF
New Zealand.
Among the many strange growths,
apparently freaks Of nature, which are
to be found in New Zealand the vege-
table caterpillar readily ranks among
the foremost. This caterpillar is sew
eral inches In length. is hairless and
does not differ essentially In appear
ance from some Of the caterpillars Of
our own land.
Its claim to distinction lies in the
fact that when 1t gets ready to die 1t
digs a hole for itself in the earth and
completely buries itself. Later a slen-
der green shoot springs from the spot.
This bears two or more leaves e its
top.
Upon investigation it is found that
the green shoot springs from the head
of the dead caterpillar, and further in
vestigation develops the fact that the
body Of the caterpillar is filed with
roots.
The form is retained without change.
and the roots do not pierce through
the skin or enter the ground. When
dug up this dead yet living freak pre-
sents a most odd appearance. for the
head and even the eyes Of the cater
pillar are distinctly seen. vet from the
head is growing the green sprout, with
Its leaves.
