YALE CREW WILL

 FERRY NEXT WEEK

The long dormant interest this year in the Yale crew is just now awaken ing to it's greatest. With the final race but four weeks off, there are many and curious specu1attons in re- gard to the possibilities Of the Ellis in the impending event, the greatest in the Yale athletic year.
 Announcement has just been made about the removal next week to New London Captain Snowdon said last night that sixteen men and three coxSwains would form the Yale var Sity contingency at Gales Ferry. This is sufficient for two crews and 1t is very possible that several changes from the present arrangements may be made. A few days ago, upon the arrival of the new English coach, Ktr- by, radical reararngements were tried. including the shift of Captain Snow don to stroke of the second boat. This did not remain so for long though, and the present order is much the same as that before the advent of the ex- pert trainer.

A very enthusiastic meeting of the committee arranging for the reception to Ray Heating, was held at the City Hall council chambers, last evening, when further arrangements for s'Keat- ing Day., which is to be held in New York, June 7, were made

 Mayor Wilson is so enthusiastic over this coming affair, he stated last ev- ening that he would lock up the city of Bridgeport on that day and take the keys along with him. From this statement it can easily be seen that there will be a very large majority of Bridgeport's citizens in New York on June T. Not to forget the ladies, for the benefit of those who were in doubt, it will be pleasing to know that the ladies will be just as welcome as the men.
 John Calvin, the well known bari tone singer, has been chosen to lead the cheering squad. No doubt this most noticeable features of the day. as MT. Calvin has promised something new in the line of rooting9
 It now looks as though there will be from 1000 to 1,5O0 people LaKe part in the celebration of .Keating Day. 7 City Clerk stephen Boucher sent word to General Passenger Agent Smith, of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford railroad to forward 1,5oO tickets to Bridgeport.
 Fred Wetstine, the efficient score tary of the Industrial Baseball League, is secretary of the above committee.
 Mayor Wilson will make the presen- tation speech, although 1t has not been decided as yet what the gift will be, but it will be something suitable for the occasion, that will show the grati- trde and appreciation of the citizens or Brid report for one of their boys, who no doubt will be one of the stellar stars on the baseball diamond, as this is the wish of every Bridgeporter for Ray KeatinE.

EXPECT YALE TO CAPTURE BASEBALL
 TITLE THIS YEAR.

New York, May 23-Yale alumni and undergraduates both at New Haven and throughout the entire east are dis cussinE the prospects Of a champion ship baseball team for the blue, this season. The remarkable record made by the varsity nine to date has en- couraged the belief that Yale has an excellent chance to capture both the Princeton and the Harvard series. Since the season opened, early in April, Yale has played 25 games of which all but three have been won. The University Of Pennsylvania is the only college to defeat the Eli players taking one of three games in sthe ser ies. The other two defeats were ad- rniflistered by the New York Giants, both the Cubs and regulars winning five inning games from Yale.
 There remain but two games to be played before. the Princeton and Har- yard series begin. Tomorrow. Yale plays Cornell at Ithaca and on Tues day Williams comes. to New Haven. On May 31, the first Princeton game is scheduled
 Since the double defeat at the hands of the Giants, the Yale nine has SCOT ed 16 consecutive victories several of them being exciting contests.
 One of the famous old time Yale baseball stars, George O. .Reddington, who recently watched the play of the team, said. today:
 sThe present team is one of the best of recent years. It is a real Yale team with the fighting Yale spirit which has been missing during the past few sea- sons Every member of the squad is an easy, free hitting player and the fielding and pitching are up to the best Yale standards Notwithstanding the fine record to date, the players show no signs of over confidence and every grad who has seen them play, | this spring, feels that Yale is about

JOHNSON
 LOSES FIRST GAME

Walter Johnson's hope of smashing Rube MarquaEd's record of 19 straight was dashed yesterday when he was defeated by Cleveland by 5 to O. The Washington whirIwind had collected ten victories before he ran against Steen of the Maps yesterday. Bfrm- ingham's pennant contenders touched Walter for 13 hits while Steen allowed only three. 7
 All of Cleveland's runs were earned. Tn the first inning, Chapman was safe on an attempted sacrifice, and scored on two singles. A single and a tMpIe scored the second run, and two sin gIes and a double the third tally. Three hits and an error brought in two more in the eighth.
 Only one of the Senators reached third, Milan being thrown out at the plate in the first inning. Left Fielder Graney got two singles and a, triple in four times at bat, and made five put outs. three of them very difficult.

IN MAJOR LEAGUES

Manager Jennings of the Tigers will try out a new first base1nan, Mir. Pipp from Kalamazoo. It is said MT. Pfpp was a considerable ball player in the Southern Michigan league. last season, but he is not feeling we'll this spring and Manager Callahan fears that Ed will not be able to take part in more than 5s or 5S games this year.
 Duffy Lewis, the Red sox left field CT, has a great throwing arm. In a recent game in Detroit, Duffy dou- b1ed up a man at first base. and later in the same game he got Ty Cobb at the plate.
 So far this season the Phillies have been the hardest team for National league warriors to beat. And before the season opened the dope was ped dled around that Dooin's crew would never see the first division.
 Guess Ty Cobb is in the lead in the American league batting race to stay. When a ball player can go LID to bat six times and make perfect averag ge in two days he knows something about the different angles the pill takes.
 All the scribes seem to be willing to bounce on Johnny Evers every time they get a chance. If he gets the Cubs working right and brings up into the lead. they will begin to sing his praise.
 When a ball team can't play ball, it usually. proceeds to learn how by lick ing the umpire.
 Ever notice how fierce T. Cobb wax es whenever the White Elephants heave into sight? The memory of years ago when the Georgian's bat first pushed the Tigers into-frst place a notch ahead of the Macks and the harsh wrangling of that season still rankles in his bosom, to say nothing of a few Baker incidents and the like
