that the Yale men, of first, with their
quick, choppy stroke, just naturally
spent themselves and that the Harvard
men Just naturally had more stamina
for the finish. You may form your own
opinion, according to how your sympa-
thies lie.
The Thames Peevish.
The Thames was still behaving in r
peevish fashion when the junior crews
lined up. The original plan was to row
this event from the navy yard TO the
drawbridge, but the lower section Of
the river was kicking up its heels, so
the start was made at Barletts, with
the finish at the navy yard. Again
Yale took the lead at the start, but by
the time the half-mile mark was passed
Harvard had made up the difference,
and pretty fight ensued.
At the mile mark the Crimson crew
began to set tough pace, and gradual
ly pulled away from the Yale shell
Harvard crossed the line, leading by a
length, with the men working smoothly,
while Yale came in wabbly and tagged
out.
At first the official time for the fresh
man race was given out as 1896 80.
Inc timers ndO ClOChtu IL at minute
better, but they refused to believe their
watches. 1t was obviously impossible
for the baby crews to make that time
when the junior eights struggled TO
make the two miles in 1925. But after
checking up by quarters it was discov-
cred that the Harvard freshman crew
had really done the two miles in
1886 3-5, which is within three seconds
Of the record.
While the morning races were on
trains began to pour in from all points
Of New England with more partisans
for the big race. The red feathers Of
the Harvard hats gave the high note
of the color scheme. The blue Of
Yale's seemed extremely modest during
the morning.
New London was thrilled by a fnan-
cial deal in which j. P. Morgan. Of the
house of Morgan. was involved. Mr..
Morgan was in the telephone Office try
ing to get his New York headquarters.

Robins Present Game
TO Clan of MCGraW
By BRIGGS

ated to think that Buck Wheat had HIT
another home run.
The guardsmen were pretty we'll di-
vided in sentiment. During the early
innings they cheered first one team and
then another. Toward the end, when
the Robins kicked the game away, the
soldiers cheered for the Giants.
There was one point on which the
soldiers agreed. Uniform or otherwise,
they proved to be fans at heart, and
believed that any foul ball hit into
the stands should be kept. One foul
sailed over the press stand into a
group of the boys and was not returned
until a company sergeant threatened
public search and trick in the guard
house.
The Robins started on the business
of building up lead, but almost be-
fore they had completed their task
they started right in to throw it away.
As a wrecking crew they proved vast
ly superior. In justice TO Brooklyn 1t
may be said that not all the work
was bad. There were the moments
when steady and effective play was the
order, but the work was not sustained.
Mowrey Blunders.
Two errors of an almost unpardon-
able nature gave the Giants their hrst
run. Mike Mowrey allowed Kauf's tap
TO trickle through his legs and Benry
streaked 10 first. Fletcher followed
through with a single to centre, which
Hi Myers mishandled in awful style,
and Kauff got to third, Fletcher NOV
ing up to second. Cheney put on the
brakes and retired Merkle on strikes,
but McKechne scored Kauf with a
roller TO Daubert.
In the sixth inning Burns beat out a
hit TO Olson, and took second on IVY
ill-advised and thoroughly wild throw
to first. He took third on Robertson
out. Doyle walked, but was forced by
KauF, Burns scoring, and then kauf
stole second, TO cross the plate on
Cheney's wild pitch.
In the eighth the platter Of beans was
spilled all over the field. Robertson
was safe on an error by Olson and took
third when Doyle slashed double TO
left. Kauff was passed, filing the
bases. and Fletcher drove long fly TO
Johnston, scoring Robertson. Johnston
slater 10 throw 20 the plate, but lost his
sense of direction momentarily and al
most hit citizen in a box. Doyle
scored, and kaun took thlrd on tne
error Merkle was hit by a pitched
ball and had a narrow escape from
painful injury, for the ball glanced
from his shoulder and struck him on
the nose.
After Merkle had been treated by his
mates he went TO first, and Kauf was
caught off third and run down by Now
rey and Meyers. Rariden stepped 30
the front and centre with a triple TO
right field, driving Merkle and McKech-
ME across the plate.
Tracing the runs back inning by
inning the Giants may thank the mis-
deeds of their adversaries that they
scored at all. However, IL is the result
that counts in the averages, not the
manner in which the result was
achieved.
The Robins outhit the Giants by a
safe margin, maintaining their ad-
vantage in point of number and in dis
tance. Ten hits were made off Benton,
Schupp and Perritt. Seven of these
rang out while Benton was on the
mound. Two were made off Schupp and
one from Perritt.
The score follows:

a bright Crimson triumph. very de-
jected crowd of gray haired men came
back silently to the station. Ihey
wished that they had not seen II. Ihey
wished that they could have carried the
other picture of that happier race,
when the Connecticut hills were
brighter green, when the waters OF the
Thames sparkled more clear y, when
the afternoon was softer, when they
were younger and when Yale swept the
river with strong and certain strokes.
The most detected lad in all the
world tonight was little Lasher, the
diminutive coxswain of the Yale shell.
He was pocket edition of despair per
sonifed when the Yale boat floundered
under the railroad bridge.
You could tell by the hanging head
and the beaten attitude of the lad that
he felt that it was all his fault, that
Yale might have had a chance if his
hand had been surer at the moment he
was urging the crew for the spurt
They had given a magnificent response
and he-the head bent lower still had
failed in his work. He had piloted
them into disaster just as they were
making the great fight for Eli. There
was the wide stretch of clear water, and
he had guided them straight to the

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured

by local applcatons,as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of he ear There il
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness il caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed You have a rumbIiug sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it ID entire
~ closed, deafness is the result, Unless
the inflammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever, Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an nhamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure
acts thru the blood on the mucous sur.
faces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Catarrhal Deafness that cam

MINING IN TOLOVANA

During 1914 and 1915 hundreds of people attracted by the reported find ing of gold in the headwater region of Toloyana River in central Alaska rushed into. the district, and system atic mining began there during the summer of 1915. Although consider able prospecting was done only about 10 mines were commercially product i've, but they made a gold output to the value of $SO,OOO. Gold bearing gravels occur in the beds of the pres cnt streams, in buried channels, and in bench grayeIs, but most of the gold has been won from the deep channels on Livengood creek, which has proved to be far richer than either the stream or the bench placers. Some shallow placers have also yielded gold, notably on Olive creek, but only prospects have been found in the benches-U. s. Government Report.
