 BOSTON'S VICTORY

Boston, Mass, June 26.-Ray Cald- well was, it seems rushed back too soon; and he lasted only three innings in yesterdays game against the Red Sox, but that was long enough to let the Boston boys put over seven runs by hitting and working him for passes.
 < When he opened the fourth inning by passing the first two men upa Man ager Bill Donovan went in the box, letting Caldwell retire to the baths. The Red Sox scored two runs during the five innings that Donovan pitched, but one of these was registered by Ruth, whom, Caldwell had put on with pass.
 This same Ruth, in the second i'm ming, landed on one of Ca1dwe1ls of .ferings and sent the ball into the right field -b1eachers, something that has not been done more than three or four times at Fenway Park.
 Ruth, with his big lead, took things easy, and did not have to extend him self in the box. Peckfnpaugh had a perfect batting average for the day, getting three singles and double, and 7Nunamaker delivered three singles in his four chances.

FAVOR RESTA TO WIN GREAT CHICAGO
 AUI0MOBILE DERBY

Chicago n1., June 26.-Past per formances have made .Dario Resta, Italian pilot of the sPeugeot No. 1, favorite to win Chicago,s 50O-ni1e mo- tor car Derby at Speedway Park to- day. This master of the wheel, a Iit- tie stranger to American competition prior to the start of this year, rules first choice in the betting because of three miracles he has wrought in this same French f1iers having won, the Vanderbilt Cup and the Grand Prix at the San Francisco Exposition in February and March, and followed those performances by finishing a close second to Ralph De Palma, win ming driver in the Memorial Day Derby at Indianapolis.
 Tn addition to annexing twoN of the three most important events on the speed calendar, Resta has won the fla vor: of the popu1ace by virtue of his sensational achievement with the -Peugeot in the elimination trials, mile oval at a, pace averaging 11O.10 0 miles per hour. De Palma, driving his Fiat at Indianapolis, May a1, completed. the 500 miles at the rate of 89.s miles an hour. That the win ner today will do 9S or better is the consensus of opinion.
 Howard Wilcox, an American in Stutz No. has averaged 1O4.75 miles per hour, or six miles an hour faster than he did at Indianapolis. He is holder of the worlds mile straight away mark for stock cars, and finish ed second to Resta in the Vanderbilt and the Grand Prix races at San Fran cisco.

NATIONAL STARS UNPOPULAR
 WITH or HER CLUBS


 The most unpopular ball team in the business Just now from the ball players viewpoint, is the Boston Ma tonal. Over-conceit is what one writer termed the feeling which dom mates the Braves, but, according to players on other teams, over-conceit is mild word. Seven teams in the National league are hoping for a eel lar berth for the Braves, writes J. V. Ldnck in the St. Louis GIobe-Demo- crat.
 The Braves not only expect to re- peat their 1914 performance, but they know they will. Which feeling prob ably will help them a long way to- ward winning a championship. They do not hesitate to inform players on other teams of their feelings, and like wise, the Braves have 8 very poor opinion of the other National teams which they express freely.
 What really gets the other teams however, is a tendency on the part of some of the Boston players to use their spikes if they get the chance on the opp position's feet and legs Some rough stuff in this line has been pull ed off this season, which explains ths- marked dislike the players of other teams have for the Braves. Dnci- dentally, dislike is a. mild word to express the anti-Boston feeling,

YALE llELIGH.TED

New sIondon. ! Conn.,, June 26-Ta1e swept r11e Thames yesterday. After seventeen years of striving, and with ali the pent-nps energy and furies en- deeyor born Of disappoantne ent, the Blue oarsmen defeated Harvard standard bearersSin all three races in their forty-ninth4 annual regatta on the picturesque and historic course here. Victory was exceedingly sweet <o the Ellis. for the fntervarsffy re- gatta records have to be searche ed victory, although similar Harvard successes. are of more frequent and recent occurrence.
 To cap the climax of its achieve ments Yale won the varsity eights by seven lengths. and administered the worst defeat a Harvard crew has been forced to taste since IS 8 8, when the Ellis set the record ofs20 minutes and 10 seconds for the four-nile route, and showed it's way by twen- ty-one lengths to the worst crew the Crimson has ever produced.
 Yesterday Yale's big eight was tim ed in 20:52, and that it did not a,p- proach the record more closely is probably 4due to a slackenfng in pace from the Aone-and-as-half mile to the a two nd-a-EHna1f mile post. Harvard was timed Ain 21.13 1-2-

Jnst four btngles, widely scattered over as many innings, were all the tall pitcher allowed the worlds champion. fine four didn't score a run for the. Braves.
 While Perritt was holding the Braves safe, the Giants were scoring runs True. they failed to score af- ter James went in the box, but before James appearance the former Nation al league champions walIoped Hughes and CFrtcher for five runs.

that St. Louis would halt the Cubs but in the present series with the Bresnahan clan the Cardinals have been repuIsed with great slaughter signs of starting their long delayed spurt. and must get busy soon if they expect to be among those present at the finish.
 In the American league the Chicago White Sox continue to show the way. Critics have been predicting that they would blow but so far the blowing has been done by other teams The Red Sox have struck their speed however, and are gaining on the Chi> cago boys. If Manager Carrigan can prevent his players from scrapping among themselves the Red Sox should be able to take the lead in another month.
 Yesterdays victory over the Bos- ton Braves was the first the Giants have gained oyer the worlds cham p1ons at the Polo Grounds this sea- son.
 Baseball has 8 great many uses one of which is to make the inmates of prisons feel happy. Jack Ha1la, a veteran Pacific Coast league pitcher has just been engaged to coach the inmates of the Montana State prison in the inside tactics of baseball.
 Lefty High, the former Hartford out1e1der, is hitting well since he was placed in the leadof position in the New York American batting order. High is small man and hard to pitch to. That makes him a good candi- date for first position.
 The Newark International 1eaguers win have to move somewhere pretty soon. The landlord has just told them to pay up or get out. They can't rent New1eld park on credit. In addition to being a good pitcher, Ruth of the Boston Red Sox is one of the best hitting twirlers in the ma jors. His speciality is home run at a critical period. Yesterday he made one of the longest hits ever delivered at F'enway park when. he put one over the right field wall and scored two men ahead of him.

Local Happenings

The great triumph of the Yale oarsmen over Harvard might have been expected in view of the frequen reports of friction between Coach Wray of Harvard and certain mem bers of the graduate rowing commit tee. In rowing as well as in any other sport dissension in the camp is bound to mean failure.
 Coach Wray was brought to. liar yard after the Crimson was deep in the rut of defeat. He immediately made Harvard winner and for years the Cambridge boys beat Yale on the Thames. Then the graduates start ed to interfere and this year they have snubbed Wray on numerous oc- casions, hoping, probably, to offend him so he would resign. A certain faction at Harvard wants to install graduateA coaching but the dire results when this system was tried at Yale should teach Harvard something. The New Haven co11egians have been sweeping all before them since they engaged Guy Nicka1ls, 8 professional It looks as if Harvard stupidity will mean many Yale victories in future races.
 For the third time this year the Harvard and Yale baseball teams met again today at Ebbetts Field, Brook lyn.s Although Harvard won the first two games, a good deal of interest centered in the second meeting of Ma han ande Way, who were the rival boxmen at New Haven last Tues day.
 A heavy thunderstorm, which soak ed the track this forenoon, made it probable that no records in the dashes or long distance runs would be broken at the tryouts at the Harvard stadium this afternoon for the selection of a team of eastern athletes to conpete at the national meet at San Francis co in August Nineteen events were scheduled.
 The Chicago Cubs have caused gen. uine alarm among. the players on other clubs by the steady manner in which they have been ree1ing off vic tories. They have 8 big lead over the Phillies in second place and will be hard to dis1odge. It was expected

outside the ropes, according to the English custom. had to enter the ring before beginning his count. Wells arose at nine and in the next round knocked out his opponent. As a re- suit of the controversy arising from this bout it is likely that the English system of counting will. be changed.
 The boxing expert of the Evening News attacks the whole system of timing at the British ringside. The method he oharacterizes as ''extreme- ly unsatisfactory and unreliable from the point of view of every one con cerned.'' He continues:
 Boxing is the one grand old Eng fish sport that ought not to be endan- gered by pandering to the interests of the contending parties. Every. boxer ought to know that when he Is knock ed off his feet he must get on to them within ten seconds or lose. The limit of the ten seconds ought to be marked in only one way, and that is by the gong.''
 A number of sporting events of more than ordinary interest are sched- uled for various sections of the cOun- try to-day. The Harvard stadium at Cambridge will be the scene of the Amateur Athletic Union eastern try out games for the purpose of select ing a team to compete in the Na.- tional Championship, at San Francis 'co on August 6-7. At Chicago the new two-mile speedway. will be for na1ly opened with 5eO-nile automo- bile race in which the leading drivers of the country will compete while tennis enthusiasts will turn toward Pittsburg, where the National clay court Championship tournament be- gins.
 Among the other events of the day are the HarVard-YaIe baseball game in New York; the Pacific-Northvves Amateur Golf Tourney at Tacoma; the Connecticut state. golf. champion ship at Greenwich; the final round of the Meadow Brook polo series in which the Big Four winners of the International Polo Trophy in 1912 are competing and several yacht races on. the great Lakes and along the Atlantic coast.

The Plant AS 1t Is On
The College Farm

The Fourth North American In
ternational Egg Laying Competi-
tion now being conducted at the
College Farm, Newark, Delaware,
closes on October 3lst, 1915. To
date 72961 eggs have been laid by
the five hundred hens entered in
the competition, since October 31st
of last year. The competition is
conducted jointly by the Philadel-
phia North American, the College
Farm, and the Delaware State
Board of Agriculture. The first
mentioned pays the salary of two
men, and furnishes all feed and
equipment outside of the houses,
which are provided by the Della
ware State Board of Agriculture.
The College Farm in addition to
paying the salary of the superin-
tendent provides the land neces-
sary for the competition.
The plant at present includes
one hundred standard Buckeye
houses, 6 by 8, in each of which
are housed five birds. To each
house there is attached a pen yard,
Is by so feet. A large house 20
by 20 feet contains the reserve
birds, which are transferred to the
special pen in case of sickness or
accident of any of the entrants.
Of special interest to visitors to
the farm is the method of feeding
and quality and quantity of food
given these prize-winning hens.
Ranged along a little shelf in every
pen are receptacles containing
charcoal, grit, and ground oyster
shell, also a hopper of dry mash.
In the center of every house is an
automatic hopper containing eight
different kinds of grain. This,
left in working order for about an
hour and half every day, guar
antees that he hen will have to ex-
ercise in order to get her meal
Every time she pecks at the centra,
rod OF the hopper a number OF
grains fall into the straw below
in which she scratches for her re-
ward. AS to dry mash, the more
the hen can be induced to eat, thu
more eggs, Mr.. Pollard declares.
Conspicuous in the equipmen
of the little houses, are the tral
nests, by means of which an &C
curate record is kept Of the laying
of every individual hen. The tral
nest is a box with a spring door
operating by means of a small
wooden trigger. AS the hen enter
the nest to lay the door swing
; shut, and the bird is confined un
til released by a care-taker. Be
cause of the fact that confinement
on the nest unnerves a bird an,
makes her unfit for laying the fol
