FAVOR YALE
 TO WIN FROM
 PENN OARSME EN

Philadelphia, 4 priI 22-The second of the series of intercollegiate dual rowing meets staged for this spring took place on the Schuylkil1 today with thee rews of the University of Pennsylvania and Yale as the con testants. The rival oarsmen wound up their practice yesterday morning with a light workout.
 A comparison of the Pennsylvania, and Yale sweep-swingers shows that the Ellis are much heavier than their Quaker opponents. Man to man the Quakers are about nine pounds lighter in the varsity shell, and the Yale juniors outstrip the Pennsy juniors by about 12 pounds to the man. For a race of mile and a half that is considerable advantage for one crew to have over another. and in a phy- sicaI test where. weight is sure to have a direct bearing, on the outcome the Ellis should go to the post strong favorites.
 All of the New Haven oarsmen are giants compared tothe Philadelplnians- The Yale varsity averages TIT pounds to Pennsy's 166 pounds, while the New Haven second eight averages IFS pounds to. 166k pounds for the Quakers. The average heights of the two Varsity teams is evenly divided. at 5 feet II inches, and the Ellis have an advantage in age by half a year. The second Quaker eight is half an inch taller to the man, but the age is about half 9, year below that of the Elis

GIANTS STICK IN
 LAST POSITION AS PHILLIPS WIN AGAIN

New York, April 22-The Giants are having a hard time getting started. They are still strongly intrenched in the rear position in the National league race, and their immediate flu tnre doesn't appear as bright as it might be- yesterday at the Polo Grounds the champion PhiIlies again beat Manager McGraw's troop by 6 to g.
 This time it was not the fault of the pitcher. Fred Anderson Of the Fed eraI league made his debut as a Giant Alabman, and if the playing of the team had been as good as Anderson's s pitching there would have been another story to tell The support of the Giants collapsed every time the Phillies wanted a. run. Trues they punched hits occasionally on Ander- son, but with the clustering of PhiIa- deIphia hits there was also a New York pebble or a foozle which was costly in the long run.
 It was a bitter cup for the Giants to drink. because Al Demaree, who used to belong to the Clam McGraw, was doing the pitching for the Pl1iHes, and. as it happened, he had one of his best days. The fact that the New Workers got only three hits, and one of them quite a doubtful rap, shows Just how enignaatic Dennareess pitching was
 For six 7nnings the Giants did very we'll and then they crunp1ed badly. Errors came just when Anderson need ed the tighest kind of support. Captain Larry Doyle. McKechnie and Fletcher were the offenders.
 5The crowd yesterday was anxious and, in fact, eager to see Benny Kauff perform as he did at the opening game on Thursday, bt5ttAe5 were doomed to disappoirtnent The best that Benny did yesterday was to get a couple of free passes and strike out once.

FL PASO. May 1O.-American Con sul Thomas D. Edwards has received orders from Washington instructing him to order all Americans in North ern Mexico out of the Republic and to the border.
 The order was received this after noon and couriers were sent to the remote sections of the state to warn the residents who remain in that coun- try 10 come out at once
 No reason was given other than the fact that marauding bands of bandits have been riding over the country and it is feared that another massacre or murder will bring on war when it is trying to he avoided Pre 1Gne in structions were sent to American Con sul Marion Letcher at Chihuahua also. American Cchsul Edwards and his wife came to the American side to- night to spend the night.

SAN LUIS OBISPO. Calif., May 10. The steamer Roanoke. which left San Francisco at midnight May &, for Valparaiso foundered at sea about 100 miles south of San Francisco, accord ing to the story told by three sur vivors who, in life boat, with the dead bodies of five other shipmates, drifted ashore here today.
 The survivors, weak and partly de lirious, were unable to give their names or any information of the rest of the crew beyond the fact that fouI other boats had been launched when the steamer sank.
 At first il was believed that all hands were dead but under the minis trations of the rescuers three showed signs of life and later one of them revived sufficiently to say where they were from.
 This man who from papers found in his pocket, is believed to be Manuel Lopez, said that the steamer was ov- erloaded and sank during a heavy gale. He said that four boats, each containing eight men, were laanched and that he did rot know what has become of them
 The three survivors were taken to a hospital here.
 According to Lopez. the laundering of the Roanoke was caused by shift ing O. her cargo.
 Captain Dickson and his wife, the only woman aboard, were drowned, according to Lopez story. He said that Mrs Dickson fell overheard when the steamer began to capsiZe and that Captain Dickson plunged after her. Neither was seen again by those in Lopez boat
 II is believed that if the four other boats are not picked up speedily their occupants will perish.

WASHINGTON. May 10.-The fight in the Senate on the annual rivers and horbors appropriation bin devel- oped aspects today threatening a repi- tition Cf the filibuster which forced adjournment of last years measure and substitution of a lump appropria- tion for distribution by the War De parrIlent.
 Senator Kenyon. of Iowa. w;iO. with Senator Burton, led the attack a year ago. continued throughout all or 10 days session the speech he began a gainst fhe bill yesterday and announc ed when recess was taken that he had only begun. Tomorrow. he said, he would discuss the measure item by itar, Senator Sherman of Illinois. another Republican. gave notice that he would take un the fight when the Iowa senator had finished.
 A lump appropriation of S20, ,000 900 the same as that finally agreed on last year. is proposed by Senators Kenyon and Sherman as a substitute for the sA3O00. 900 measure passed by the House.
 Senator Kenyon characterized the systen' of annual appropriation bills as "drit bling" method. and declar- cd most of the items were drawn with the idea of providing political bait rather than with the honest purpose of improving the country's water ways. His statement drew an objec- tion from Senator Ransdell of Louis iana. in charge of the bill, who in sisted that a detailed examination of the measure would disprOve it.
