THE SPIRIT AT CORNELL.
How This Years oarsmsn Won the
 Race and C.

The spirit among the Cornell oars men which has resulted in their long string of victories on the Hudson Is well Illustrated in a story which has Just become public property as to ac- ton taken by the Cornell squad just before the regatta this year. When the varsity eight walked out on the float to launch their shell Commodore Ferguson called the men together and with Stroke Oar Distlar they talked it over. It was agreed unanimously that if Cornell did not win the varsity race each man in the boat would refuse to accept from the athletic association the varsity c for crew this year. Win or lose, the members of a Cornell var sity crew have been in the past award ed the C by the athletic association be- cause they made the boat in the big regatta of the year. But on the float that day, with the race less than 20 minutes away, the men firmly decided that they would not accept the award of the C; neither would they wear it, assuming that it was given to them anyway By this action they think they have formed a precedtn. namely, that varsity crews losing at Poughkeepse shall not take the varsity letter. After making the precedent they went out and earned the C by winning the race

 greseman PeppsE-

"One of the most striking ,pheses of Champ Clark's maly-sided character is his humanity" remarked Reprs- sentative L. S. Pepper of Iowa at the Willard. He never forgets friend, political or otherwise, and know 1t. Some of the speakers friends told me a story not long ago that illustrates this side of his nature,
 Tt seems that when 2 young law yer, Clark was ambitious to be elect ed prosecuting attorney of his county. There was an old fellow-his name was Burwell-whot ran a small groc- cry in ClaTks town. He was a little testy, perhaps, for heAdid not like to be disturbed when telling a story, not even to wait on customers The store, in fact, was conducted for the purpose of giving him an opportunity to hold forth in pleasant discourses with his friends. He was in comfortable cir cumstarces and didn't have to work. Politically he was a man of large in fiuence in bis community and was Clark's friend. He helped elect him prosecuting attorney. It was a num- Der of years ago, of course.
 Not long ago, I was told, Clark heard that the old man vas sick and a trife short of funds. I learned of it through an old neighbo hood friend. You know Champ Clark is not particn- lariy frugal and psver accumulated large bank account; but he sat down and wrote 8 check that turned his bal apce into an overdraft, gave 1t to Wallace Bassford, and told him Go send ttis check 10 old man Bur well.'"

FINANCIAL ANJ COMMERCIAL.
PRICES MOVE UPWARD.
Government Crop Report Used as a
 Bullish Influence.


 New York, July f0.-The government crop eIort published late yesterday, Was dsed as lever with which to move prices upward in the early part of today's stock market session. The returns seemed to convey the impress sion that the more important cereals promised exceeding well, and it was generally assumed that further inn prO1ement has set in since the official figures were compiled. There was also a brisk rise in Amalgamated Copper, in the early trading, based m measure on improved cop per conditions abroad. but the metal market remains exceedingly sensitive, with indications of a widely extended speculation. Sales of copper were re- ported here today at around r cents. Wfich allows for a good margin of pioht. but suggests the idea that con- Ceasions are being made at every req scnable opportunity.
 One of the few important features of the day vas the publication of the United States Steel statement of un- flied tonnage on hand June 30. This shcv ed an increase of 56.963 tons over the preceding month, the grand total being 5,S01,S4S tons. figure which has only once been exceeded in almost three years.
 Trad ng in steel was relatively large and its undertone was strong at the outset but later all lea ading issues sold off precipitately. lowest prices being reg -s,ereo in the last hour to the ac- ccmpal in ent of considerable activity, Board room gossip attributed much of the selling 10 out of town sources, chiefly Boston, and was inclined to re- gard the movement as in the nature of a bear drive.
 London, where money and discounts were frner, was not a factor here, trading for that account not exceeding a few thousand shares, albeit on the selling si6e.
 The tord market was lower and generally irregular. Total sales, par va:ue, aggregated $3,72S ,000s~
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

BANNER DAY FOR ALL-COLLEG|ANS
Hospital Unable to Cope with Pitcher Bill Walsh and Support ing Stars-Score Was to 3-Dan Murphy Out of Game For Season-Athletics Lose to Chicago-Ciants Shut Out by Cubs

Gallivan's All Collegians defeated the Hospital team on the hospital grounds yesterday afternoon by the score of to 8. Bill Walsh, the Ford ham star, got satisfaction for losing last Saturdays game. Although he was found for as many hits in yester- days game as he was last Saturday. he was fortunate in keeping thern{ well scattered, no more than two being made in any one inning. He struck out IA men, which with five foul flies captured by L'Heureux of Trinity col leSe made total of 19 putouts for this starb battery. Moore, the Hos pitfalls mainstay, was struck on the left elbow by one of Walsh's fast in- sroots and was compelled to retire from the game. His place was very creditably filled by his mate, Green way, who in his stay on the mound appeared tG be more of a puzzle to the visitors than Moore. Had Green way started the game. the general opinion was that he could have won out. Walshs pitching was treat, as he was steady at all times, and, as on all former occasions. his control was perfect Hospital lost couple of good chances to score by poor coaching at third base, and the vvisitors were pre- scented with a couple of runs by errors at critical stages on the part of the home team. The game was a good one to watch. for while quite 8 bit of rivalry was shown throughout the con- test everything was of the good mo- aured variety. Slim McIntire held the indicator in big league style.
 The Hospital boys are anxious to have another try at Smiling Bill Walshs assortment of slants and shoots. and think they will make Bill show everything he has to win the best two out of three.

Philadelphia, July 1o-"Dan" Mur- phy will smash no more base hits for the Athletics this season. The cap tain and the teams heaviest hitting outfielder has such bad case case of water on the knee that he Is physically incompetent to get into another game this year. It is possible that his play ing days are over for all time. Connie" Mack, wearing a serious face admitted the facts Tt is no use concealing the truth" he said, "'Dan is lost to us for the season. It's a great blow, for we need him in our present diversity"
 The news that the hard hitting right fielder is out of the game for the season was a shock to the followers of the American league team. Down now In fourth place, his absence from the Athletics may seriously imperil the clubs chances of winning another pennant
 Murphy was hurt In the knee on June when he slid into the plate at Chicago. Water on the knee develop ed and rest of month has not been of any benefit whatever. Connie Mack admitted that he did not see how Murphy could get in condition to play this season. It may mark the end of his ten years of ball playing with Mack'B men.
