FIRST YALE CREW
 LOSES TO JUNIORS

New London, Conn, June 21.-Har- wards Varsity crew was the only eight that launched a. shell at Red Top last evening. The boat lined up at the starting flag a few minutes af- ter $ o'clock, and some time was spent getting the craft in line, if time trial were to be rowed. Lund set the stroke at 32, and with a stiff north west breeze and fair tide the shell seemed to bowl along the course.
 Yale's whole rowing squad paid 8 visit to Red Top yesterday afternoon, to get the baseball returns from New Haven and also to fraternize with the Cambridge squad. After an hour the New Haven oarsmen re- turned to quarters. Harvard's base ball victory was the cause of great re- joicing among the Crimson crews.
 The Eli Varsity crew rowed on time down stream for mile last even ing, choosing the first mile flag as g. starting point and finishing off the na- val station. The time given out was 4:43. A stiff northwest wind and an ebb- tide favored the boat considerably. On the last half mile the junior Var sity crew acted as pacers and beat the big crew by a half boat length.

HARVARD WINS
 FROM YALE IN THRILLING NINTH

New Haven, June 21-Yale lost the annual commencement baseball game to Harvard here yesterday af- ternoon by a score of to 2. The game was the first of the series and the second was played today at Cam bridge.
 Harvard won by magnificent rally in the ninth, when Percy's triple. with the bases full, broke the to 2 tie and gave the Crimson a victory The misplays of the Blue are not all to be found in the box score, where but one error was recorded, but in the wretched base running and poor judgment in the field. Harvard hit in the pinches and Yale did not. Newell Garfield pitched excellent ball for the Ellis, while Whitney, who held the mound for Harvard, was wild at intervals.
 Shell, Harte and Percy were the stars at bat. The two former got three hits each in four trips to bat, while it was Percy's three-bagger, with the bases full, that won the game for Harvard in the ninth.
 The game was watched by O,O0o persons, who filled the grand stand and b1eacher's and overhowed onto the field. The parade of graduates who are here for their reunions made a, gay spectacle.

.RAGAN PREVENTS DOUBLE VICTORY OF
 MIGRANTS GIANTS

New York. June 21-The Giants re- stunned their place in the sun yesterday and split even in their doubleheader with the Boston Braves at the Polo Grounds. McGraw's men took the first encounter by 4 to 2 and lost in the second by I to o.
 Hungry for baseball and with any thirst for rain which they have had thoroughly assuaged, over 22,OO0 root CTS turned out to see the games. The Giants put the crowd in a good humor by taking the first contest This was their fifth victory of the sea-

HUGH ROSS HOPEFUL OF
 DEFEATING CHAMPION M'COY

It is expected that a large crowd will be on hand to see Middleweight Champion Al Mccoy when he appears at the Casino next Monday night to tackle Hugh Ross in the star bout of the show. The affair is scheduled for Is rounds but Mccoy is confident of slipping over knockout before that time.
 Although not a clever boxer, Me Coy has gained his present honors by hard hitting. He wills stand at close quarters with any of them and even such a, slugger as George Chip was downed by Mccoy. In fact it was by knocking out Chip that Al won the title. Ross, who made a fine

 The senni-fina1 will have Young Me Auliffe of this city and Joe Grady of Dayton, O., as principals. Grady has not appeared here before but is said to be a tough customer. This will be a 15-round session
 The 1O-round opener will be be- tween Kayo Martin. the slugging East Bridgeport boy, and Frank Kenny. The latter is a brother of Wild Burt Kenny. Moran won all his fights so far and intends to make Kenny hustle.

got back than he was sent south again, landing with the New Orleans Pencans. After two more seasons in the Southland Adams was again called up higher, AfcGraw buying him for the Giants late in 1914. Last season Adams landed with the Phils in the deal by which he, with Denaree and Stock, was swapped for Hans Lobert. Adams batted .292 his last year with New Orleans, but hit the pill for only Ill in the twenty-four games in which the PhiIs used him last year.

son at home. Fred Anderson twirled for our boys and gave mighty good exhibition. For eight innings he held the foe to three hits and one run. That tally came in. the first inning and was scored by virtue of a huff by Burns of an easy fly, which it looked as if he lost in the sun.
 The second game was a battle be- tween Don Carlos Ragan and Big Jeff Tesreau. and while the former de- served to win, the latter did not de- serve to lose Tn the matter of hits Tesr eau had the better of the argu- ment, allowing only four to Ragan's five.

they picked him up and called for the police reserves. Orcutt said, Good morning, Judge," yesterday, and then in company with Pitcher Williams of Lynn, who was also in the sl{irnish, was sent back home by the club manager.
 There was no joy in Brooklyn last night. The Dodgers had been puffed up over their great showing against the western clubs. But the bubble burst when the Phil1ies took a, double header, making three straight for Moran's men. Incidentally. the Phil lies have, been going at a fast clip and must be reckoned with in the fight for the flag.
 The release of Heinie Wagner by Hartford was no surprise to baseball men. There has been trouble be- tween him and Owner Clarkin since the season opened. Whats the use of paying these men big money 2" Clarl<in recently demanded. I'm go- ing to hire $75 a month players after this" It is thought likely that Pat O'Connor will be named as manager if he can come to terms with Clarkin. The veteran Hartford catcher proba- bly, figures his life would be easier as a mere player unless he got a big raise to take the managers job.
 Catcher Dick O'Connor was out in uniform for Bridgeport yesterday but did not get into the game. The former Phillies' backstop is not very big but seems lively on his feet.

BRIDGEPORT MAKING DEAL
 WITH HARTFORD FOR PLAYERS
Pitcher Bill Martin Gets Release From Local Club
 Other Sport Notes.

The Bridgeport club is ready to make a deal with Hartford, which will probably be completed tom orrOW. The Senators want one of the local outfielders and terms of the swap have been agreed upon. The local man. agement is not ready to make public the name of the Bridgeporter who Hartford pasture guardians will be sent here.
 It was also announced today that Pitcher Bill Martin has been released by Bridgeport. The big fellow started strongly this season but has showed nothing in recent games. An effort was made to send Martin or Walsh to Springfield under optional agreement but Manager Flynn of the Ponies said he couldn't use them.
 Portland will be here again to- morrow and on Friday Lowell comes to Newfield park for a series. Lowell of the season. There have been sev- eral changes in the club since then but Harry Lord, the former big leaguer, is still managing the club.
 Connie Mack has a large squad of collegians on hand waiting for try outs He expects to get a few good ones from the bunch. Pitcher Cro- we'll, the former Brown university hurler, has been sent to Baltimore.
 The Lynn club was without the ser vices of Wheat Orcutt, the hard hit ting center fielder, yesterday. He spoke out of his turn in a local cabar- ct, Monday night, and was gently thrown into the street. After that

New York, Feb 18-More testt-
mony in favor of allowing the Central
Vermont Railway to continue the OPP
Grafton of its steamboat line between
New London and New York under the
Panama Canal act was heard by In
terstate Commerce Commissioner Gle
m ents at the resumption Of the hear
ing in the case yesterday.
w. P. Snyder, local commercial
agent of the road, testified that if the
line was made independent, Irregular
ity of traffic would result which would
not benefit the public. He denied
the existence of traffic arrang ements
between the steam boat line and the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, which also operates steam
boat lines from Long Island Sound
ports.
G. L. Graham, representing the In

DENIES
REFUSING FOOD
FOR THE DUTCH

London, Feb. 1s-Great Britain has
not refused to allow food to reach
Holland, according to a statement
made by Sir Edward Grey, the Brit
ish foreign secretary in reply to a
question in the House of Commons
yesterday.
The foreign minister added that
the entente allies governm ents had
been approached with a request to
permit food to be sent to Holland
under neutral control but that the al
lies had replied teley could not con-
slider the question until the various
methods of spoilation'' adopted by
the central powers had ceased. To
do otherwise, he, said, would be mere
ly to supply food to the Germans.
Under the guise of a question to
Sir Edward Grey, Lawrence Gfnnel1.
nationalist, made the allegation that
pressure, had been used by the entente
allies to dissuade the Belgian goyern-1
ment from accepting from Germany
an offer to re-establish the integrity
of Belgium, to restore her indepen-
dence and fully to Compensate her for
damages sustained.
This brought a blunt answerN from
the foreign secretary, who said:
The statement made in question is
entirely untrue. -
Sir Edward added that he believed
the statement of an offer being made
to Belgium was also untrue.

Mr.. Riggs came the greater part OF

such a pace that soon this gold will

The railroad is a wedge by which
Alaska will be opened to development.
1t is likely in the end to become but
one of a network of railroads.
5 Alaska is 1t nearly as frigid a
proposition as most people think. The
new RAILROAD will not take you the
farthest north by rail- In Alaska
now, running from Nome to Shelton,
there is a. little narrow uage line,
which penetrates a good deal farther
north than Fairbanks: and from Fair
banks another narrow- guage line goes
46 miles month into the hatanilxa min
ing 61istric. The. old Russian line from
Petrograd to Arehangel runs farther
north than the Nome Shelton line. and
the new Russian road from Petrograd
to Ekatorina. beats the Americas far
thest- north by rail still more.
The Alaskan railroad will open up
Nenana coal fields to consumption in
Fairbanks. The entire vicinity Of this
chief mining city of central Alaska is
now practically denuded of wood, Cut
wood for fuel use is cheaper in the
larger cities of the United States than
in Fairbanks. They are paying from
