The rowing race between Harvard
and Yale at New London tomorrow
will be of international interest. in
that the Yale crew is using the Eng
fish stroke and is being trained by an
English coach, whereas Harvard is
sticking to the simon-pure American
methods. So far, the opinion seems
to prevail that Harvard will win, and
the Crimson crew has been made the
choice in the betting. AS to Yale,
there seems to be much doubt. The
Ellis haven't shown anything to en-
thuse over and their stroke, while APP
rarently elective, is not strikingly at
tractive. Harvard. on the other hand,
is rowing beautifully. Her form is
superior in every way. She seems to
have an even smoothness in her stroke
and the power behind the pull is evil
dent. From observation no one could
figure the Blue to beat the Crimson,
but we are all interested in the Eng
lish stroke. If it is no more powerful
or effective than it is beautiful, Har-
ward is not likely to have anything to
fear.

Perhaps some Newark enthusiasts
might desire to auto to New London,
where the Harvard Yale boat race is
to be held tomorrow. In which event,
the following route from New CORK,
furnished by the Automobile Club of
America, is given as a guidance:
From New York, make the run to
New Rochelle, via Grand Concourse,
Fordham road and Pelham Parkway.
On this stretch good macadam will be
found with the exception of occa-
sional stretches where the surface of
the roadway is worn. Owing to the
bad state of the Boston Post road be-
tween New Rochelle and Rye it is adj
visable to detour from New Rochelle
via North avenue, Quaker Ridge road,
Weaver street, Palmer avenue, Sax
ons Woods road, North street, Pur-
chase street and Westchester avenue,
connecting with main route at Port
chester.
From Portchester the Boston Post
road is followed over good macadam
to Stamford, then fairly good mac
adam obtains to Norwalk. Just be-
yond Norwalk a detour is necessary
over fair dirt road with some mac
adam to Westpoint.
Good macadam will be found to
Fairfield and then fair macadam to
Bridgeport Owing to construction
work on Fairfield avenue, the best
way through Bridgeport is via State
street Stratford avenue is consider
ably worn from Bridgeport to STRAIT
ford and more comfortable riding will
be found via Barnum avenue, al
though the run is quite complicated
with numerous turns.
The run is continued over good
macadam, except for a short stretch
through Milford to New Haven.
Construction work between the East
Haven line and Westbrook makes a
detour necessary from New Haven
via North Bradford. From West
brook to Old Lyme is good oiled
gravel and good macadam. Between
Old Lyme and New London the road
is closed. necessitating a detour over
poor roads via Mantle. Graniteville
and Waterford to New London.

Once again We have college sports
resulting in an upset. Yale, at base
ball, was presumed to have a cinch
on the college championship. yet
Princeton gave her high old battle
and now Harvard is giving her more
trouble. With the victories one and
one, the Ellis and the Crimson will
clash on Ebhets Field in Brooklyn
Saturday. Yale won the first game
to 0 and Harvard came back with
a 4 to win yesterday after four
teen innings of play. For the decid-
ing game the Bulldog is the favorite.
but at that the Crimson has done so
much better than expected she will
be rather cocky and confident when
it comes up to the third game.
O.
Gambling on baseball games has
reached such proportions that the
club owners are becoming alarmed. In
various cities in the big league cir
cults betting has been going on for
years, with no effort made to re-
strain it. Finally the practise be-
came so large that the club owners
became worried and felt that it was
time to take a hand in stopping it
themselves The matter was taken
