CRIMSON GETS CONSOLATION

Ithaca, ~. y, May 24-The Cornell
University crew. rowing in best Court
ney form and giving one of the finest
exhibitions of speed ever seen on
Cayuga Lake, literally rowed away
from the Harvard Varsity in the fea-
ture event of the big Cayuga Lake
regatta here this evening and crossed
the finish line six lengths to the good.
Since 1905 Harvard, has won one race
to Cornells eight, but never before
have the Ithacans finished so far ahead
as they did to-day.
The Crimson contingent, however.
got consolation out of the splendid vic
tory of their freshman eight, and Cor
nelliaEs generously Joined with them in
the demonstration, for few finer fresh
men crews have been seen on Cayuga.
They went ahead almost at the start,
and though the Cornell youngsters gave
them a splendid row of it. the Cam
bridge youngsters crossed the finish
line length and quarter to the good.
Not Interesting Rnce.
The varsity race was too one sided
to be very Interesting. AT the word
both crews went ahead to rowing q
high stroke, and for perhaps a hundred
yards they were even. Then Stroke
Dole dug into the water with the first
OF n series OF savage spurts, and the
Cornell shell drew steadily ahead. At
the mile mark Cornell had two
lengths. and che picked up three more
before the finish.
The biggest crowd in the history OF
Cayuga Lake rowing attended the
races, the observation train on the Lee
high Valley contained almost as many
people as attended the Poughkeepsie
races.

out from a clinch in which

Several medical men at once
clambered through the ropes and
did all in their power to resusci-
tate the athlete.
The crowd began to press for-

press tables, breaking telephone

their mad scramble to be in at the
finish. The police at once took
charge and tried hard to force
them back to give air to mccarthy.
Failing in this, McCarty was
picked up and carried TO the open
air, where he died in fifteen min
utes, about twenty-five minutes
after he fell.

The doctors declared that death
was due to heart trouble. They
say that McCarty must have had
valvular heart trouble. and this
had been aggravated by the ex-E

to land his blows with precision,

one blow, a glancing one.
