THOUGHT HARVARD

Coach Wray Figured Victory for
His Crew by Couple of Yards
at New London.

NEW YORK, June o.-'T thought the

coach.
Yale won in as close a race as ever
was seen on any course. Guy Nick
alls. Yale varsity coach.
With these two opinions as samples
expert opinion was divided here today
as to which crew. the Crimson or the
Blue, really was first in the wonderful
race at New London yesterday which
Referee Meikletohn gave Yale by Is
of a second.
Such a race as that on the Thames
yesterday has seldom been seen. Yale.
which had not won from the Crimson
nee 1907, was away first. For three
miles the Ellis held a slight lead. never
getting a full length on the Cantabrigs
ians AT the three-and-a -hal1-mii-
mark Harvard showed in front by
quarter of a length. and was pulling
a strong stroke. Both shells battled
evenly down the next quarter OF mile.
Within sight of the finish line Stroke
Appleton speeded UP Yale's count.
Like young giants those Ellis fairly
lifted their she'll out Of the water and
flung It across the line a winner by
four inches. Many thought II dead
heat. but after long discussion the
officials ruled that Yale had won.
Appleton and three companions IN the
Yale boat promptly collapsed when the
race was over. but the Harvard men
managed to sit up in their shell, and
give a faint cheer for their foemen.

Court Wranglings Are
Bad for National Game

CHICAGO. June 20-Baseban gate re-
ceipts have fallen off heavily and the
major leagues this year will make much
less money than they did last year
This statement was made by Charles A.
COmiskey. president Of the Chicago
Americans. Comiskey declared that the
public was weary Of the xranglings and
contract jumping talk. and of the en-
phasis on salaries which had thrown
into the background the sporting feat
Ures Of the pastime.
Minor leagues viii suffer- the same
as the majors" said Comiskey. 1t Is
ali due to contract jumping and the
demUralized condition of the players.
There is no use trying to hide the true
state Of affairs. The public sees the
true condition of the game even more
quickly than the players. II has been
the players. aided and abetted by club
owners and their agents. who have
brought baseball to the condition pre-
vailing at the present time.
If there is room for three major
leagues, well and good. The gate re-
ceipts will tell the story. The players
have a right 10 get more money if they
can. but not at the expense Of their
cOnsciences in jumping their contracts.
"It is not so much a question of
losing money as it is OF keeping up the
standard OF the game. II that is low

COMMISSION WILL
DECIDE DUNN'S CASE
International League Troubles
Threshed Out by MoguIs in
New York Today.

Basebalrs highest court OF last resort,
the National Commission. is meeting
late today in New York to decide just
what to do with the International
League. which is suffering severely
from competition with the Federal
League. President Ed Barrow, Jacob
Stein, Buffalo mogul and Jack Dunn.
owner and manager OF the Baltimore
Orioles. are seeking to have the draft
rule lifted from the international
League, thus putting il into the same
class with the outlaws, and making it
possible for the old organization to
put UP winning fight against the in
vaders. Though nothing is now known,
it is expected that this action will be
taken.
II the National Commission fails to
allow such action. Dunn has two
courses open 10 him. One IS to sell a
majority of his players 10 the Chicago
White Sox for $4,000 and retire from
the game. The other is to sell - per
cent of his holdings TO Richmond, Va.
ca apitaIists. and shift his franchise. In
asmuch as either Of these latter courses
would be bowling before the fight CT the
Federal LeaSuers the draft rule is ox-
Dected TO be waived in the case Of the
International League.
Ban Johnson, head of the American
League, is loud in his claims that no
jumper will be allowed TO EetrIrn to
organized baseball as long as he Las
any power in its meetings. At the IN
stigation OF Johnson, Frank Farrell will
seek an injunction restraining Hcinie
Schulz from playing with the Buffalo
Federals Johnson says that the out
laws are looking for advertisement in
claiming Eddie Collins, Connie Macks
second baseman, will jump.

MEXICO.

Perhaps Mexico is one Of the richest
countries in natural resources on the
globe But not withstanding her enor-
nous advantages, her natural produc-
tions, and her geographical position,
she is one of the poorest and greatest
sufferers, Her civilization is that of
the sixteenth century. The ignorance
of her people in general is appalling.
The general education of her people is
of the type found on the American con-
tinent For a hundred years the COM
mon people have been protesting
against the authority of the governing
few. For the last five years the Mexi-
can masses have been calling for liberty
and for opportunity. They no longer
want to be slaves to the few, and in
their blind stupidity are trying to break
the bonds that have so long held them.
The poems are asking for more light,
and are fighting for a chance to develop
into men and not slaves. The cruel
lashes of the hidalgos must cease to fall
upon the peon's back and peonage law
must be repealed-these poems must
have an equal chance to live. These
poor benighted men on our south are
doing some very foolish things in their
desperation, but we must remember
that the killing of men and women and
the burning of property will not civilize,
but viii brutalize; that armed force may
crush all opposition, but it viii not
create q brotherhood. In no sense
must we exterminate. nor gain terri
tory Half civilized no ards may abuse
their position in their struggle for light.
but we must not We are the only ad-
vocates and exemplifiers OF the modern
civilization of the world. The taunts
and stinging remarks about our ''let
alone" policy must not drive Us into a
war of.conquest. We are a nation OF
missionaries and teachers of the highest
conception of civilizAtiO and in no
sense must we become slsughterers of
our brothers but always remain their
loving guardians.
