railroads, w. +. carten, president of the

w. Carter declared, "the country is
likely TO see the greatest railroad strike
in the world, as the railroad trainmen
and conductors are now bslloting upon
strike. Such a strike would also be
most novel, because the 10000 involved
men are threatening a strike because the
railroad managers have absolutely re-

For Sixth Consecutive Time
She Defeats
Yale
ELS WORST DEFEAT
IN MANY YEARS
Harvard Finished Eleven
Lengths Ahead of
the Blue

New London, June 2l.--For the sixth
consecutive time Haryard's varsity eight
triumphed over Yale yesterday in the
four-mie race of the Thames.
Cambridge students paraded the
streets shouldering new brooms.
The final defeat was so crushing that
the English stroke and rowing methods
imported from Oxford were ridiculed last
evening, which veteran oarsmen think
is unjust.
Sweeping steadily and consistently
down the river, Harvard finished eleven
lengths ahead of the blue. The Eli boat
rolled and splashed over the finish line
SO seconds later, sustaining as bad de-
feat as any seen on the Thames in some
years.
The official times were: Harvard, q
minutes, AZ seconds; Yale, p minutes,
20 seconds.
Except during the first mile, the race
was a procession. Harvard was superior
in every department. The crimson used
quicker stroke, getting faster pace
with less lost motion and failed to show
any symptoms of excessive exhaustion.
which marked the finish of the blue. The
last mile Harvard maintained fast
pace finishing in racing sprint of forty
strokes to the minute.

SCHOOL BOY ATHLETICS
May Soon Be Under a National Gov
erning Body.

New York, June 2l.--That the pro-
posed National Interseholastic Athletic
association will become in due course of
time reality, appears probable. The
matter was fully discussed at the re-
cent national championships held under
the auspices of the New York Athletic
club at Traverse island. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that the athletes OF
the preparatory and high schools of this
country had reached stage OF athletic
development where their welfare de-
manded a national governing body.
In all parts of the states there are
schoolboy track and field performers,
whose records few years back would
have been considered unbelievable by the
average follower of amateur turf and
cinder competition. The system of
training from virtually childhood under
direction of skilled trainers is in part
responsible for this remarkable progress
and the constantly increasing opportuni-
ties for trying out In meets is also an
important factor.
At the present time there is nobody
whose duty it is to see that suitable
eligibility rules govern the various
games in all parts of the country or to
put the seal of authenticity upon the
startling times and distances credited to
these schoolboy phenomenons. This is
the proposed duty of the organization
which is being formed at present. A
tentative constitution, bylaws and
game regulations are being drawn up
and when completed viii be forwarded
to the athletic association Of every coll
lege in the country. These organizations
will be asked to pass upon the same
and return with such amepdnaats az
will ensure their support. When this
stage has been reached, the National In.
terscholastic A. A. will be incorporated
and launched to cover field not now
occupied by either the Intercollegiate
A. 4. A. A. or the Amateur Athletic
Inion.

AMERICAN FLAG

On Peak 20,500 Feet High,
the Loftiest Summit
in America

Seattle, June Archdeacon Hudson
Stuck, an Episcopal missionary leaving
Fairbanks, Alaska, several months ago
to climb Mount Mckinley, reached the
summit of the highest peak June 7, ac-
cording to private cable.
Others in the party were II. r. Kars-
ten, r. O. Tatum and Walter Parper.
A clear day made it possible TO see
at all angles, making il certain the
south peak assembled was the highest.
The present estimate of its height is
upwards of 20,500 feet.
They hoisted an American flag, erect
ed six-foot cross and sang '@Te

America.
The northwest ridge was the only pos
sibIe approach. Violent earthquakes last
July terribly shattered the higher ridges,
adding largely TO the danger and diff

They spent three weeks of continu-
Gus bad weather in hewing a passage
three miles long, which was the chief
cause of delay.
Chief credit is given Karsten for his
good judgment, resourcefulness and eau

POLO YOUNG IN U. S.
Whereas Thousands Play the Game in
England.

New York, June 21.-Following the
defeat of the English polo cup challeng-
ing team by the American four in the
opening game of the series the visitors
explained the upset, in part, by the
statement that since their arrival in
this country they had been unable to
obtain continuous practice against fast
playing, high ealibred fours This state
ment was true, but the fault lay not
with either polo association or any of
its individual members, but the game

CURRENCY
BILL READY
Merely an Emergency Meas

CRITICS SAY DOES NOT

1t Provides Means for Re-
discount and Elastic
Note Issues

Washington, June 2l.--With the dis.
closure of the details of the administra-
tion plan for currency legislation, it has
become clear that Congress is confronted
with bitter struggle over the problem
Of how TO reform the currency Indi-
cations are that the bill will be torn to
pieces and a new measure differing in
many particulars will be evolved either
at the special session or next winter.
The administration plan for currency
legislation, as disclosed by Chairman
Glass of the House banking committee,
represents a compromise between the
Glass plan and the believers in the doc
trine of government issue of notes. Ex-
perts who studied it yesterday declared
that it was no more than an emergency
measure so far as the provisions for
note issue are concerned. In this respect,
it is not a bill, as was expected, for the
basic reform of the currency system.
The Glass plan contemplated basic and
radical alterations in the present system
of note issues. The plan which has been
evolved as the result of conferences be-
tween the president, Secretary McAdoo,
Chairman Glass and Owen leaves exist
ing note issues as they are, continues
the present bond secured circulation,
which has been so widely attacked for
its lack of elasticity, and superimposes
on that S500.000,000 of government or
treasury notes. In effect. these are to
take the place of the emergency curren-
~ provided for under the Aldrich.Yree-
and law.
The fact that these are called treasury
notes, however, does not mean that they
IRE parallel TO the old greenbacks. The
CENTRAL board which the bill provides
would issue them at the instance of the
'arious proposed regional reserve associ
Itions. Against them the associations |
would have to segregate certain assets.
Tho new bill is intended TO remove
rom the banks entirely the control of |
he general financial policy of the mon
tary system. 1t is here the hand of Mr.
,ryan is seen. The board of control as
low made up consists of seven members,
one of them chosen by the reserve bank
ne associations.

Echoes of the Game.

The work of the indicator holders
was not above reproach, according to
the prevailing opinions of the specta-
tors.
In the fourth inning. David cleverly
outwitted Catcher Kan Yin and drew a
throw to second base so that he could
engineer delayed steal.
Cari's wrenched ankle deprived him
OF playing his best. Clair received the
injury at Granfteville recently. During
the middle of the game he withdrew
from the third way station and ex-
changed positions with Williams.
As the result of dog bites about the
face, the reliable Joe Comolli was not
able to assume his place behind the
plate. Last Sunday while passing the
day or a nearby farm, Comolli was at
tackled BY vicious dog of the Boston
bun variety His face was badly lac

of local physician. Yesterday he was

behind the bat and handled the delivery
of Weaferi admirably His presence in
stilled great confidence in the work of
the Italians.
Capt. Ayan, shortstop of the Chinese
aggregation, played prep school ball at

rather poor.

OF the Italians. To-day they will come
TO the Berlin street grounds. A good
game is expected.
The Italians were well strengthened
with Witt of Goddard. Williams of Dart
mouth and Fowlie of st. Michaels.
The Chinese team left on the 5:45
train yesterday afternoon for Williams
town, Mass, where they face Williams
college this afternoon. The Barre game
was concluded by mutual agreement at
the end of seven innings to permit the
