Betting Light as
Race Draws Near

'oUGHKEEPsIE. June TO-
Betting 30 far on the varsity
event has been the lightest In
years, and this has been
ascribed to the generally be-
lieved quality of all four con-
testants. Two weeks ago SYRIA
cuse, by reason Of two victories
this spring and no defeats, was
the accepted favorite. Then
Cornell and Columbia Joined
the ranks Of possible winners,
and since Tuesday, when
Pennsyivania, previously
thought hopelcssly out of con-
sideration, covered the course
in 1915, the best time trial
made since training began, the
Quakers have risen to q posi-
ton in the limelight.
4 few wagers are being placed,
however, with Syracuse follow
ers offering 3 to 2 against the
field. Cornell and Columbia
are calling for even money
against each other, and 8 to Q
against Pennsylvania. For the
junior race Cornell money is
even against the field, and the
other three crews call for even
money against one another.
Betting on the freshman event
is even up all around.

SUMMARY OF CROPS FOR
WEEK ENDING JULY 4TH

PORTLAND, Ore, July This
summary was issued from the office
Of the weather bureau Thursday NOR
ming. for the information of those in
terested in agriculture crop conditions
at this time:
More than the usual amount of rain
fell dVring the week and the temper
ature averaged below normal. These
conditions were beneficial for grain,
meadow grasses, pastures, potatoes,
sugar beets and gardens, which all
made satisfactory advancement. Fall
wheat is now heading and filling nice
ly Hail did some damage to the crop
but the rains were badly needed and
the good they did much more than
offset the hail damage. There is
plenty of feed on the ranges and
stock is in fine condition.
The weather during the week was
unfavorable for corn and hops, and in
some few places cherries were injured
but it is making very slow growth.
Hops do not look so well as usual
at this season Of the year, as many of
the yards have yellow appearance.
Both of these crops need more sum
shine and warmer weather.
4 small amount Of alfalfa which
had been cut and not stacked was
badly discolored. Haying has been
delayed and interrupted by the rains
and in a few places clover is badly
lodged and it will be difficult to har-
vest it. This crop is becoming over
ripe in places and the farmers want
good haying weather during the next
week or two.
A small crop Of peaches and cher
ries are both being marketed. The
strawberry season is drawing to
close. Both strawberries and cher
ries are not holding up so well as usu-
a. in transit, as the damp weather
causes them to become soft shortly
after being picked.
