YALE WINS RACE
FROM CRIMSON
Great Four-Mile Event Fin
ishes With Eli Half Boat
Length in the Lead
By Associated Press.

New London, Conn, June 2o.-Row-
ing a beautifully timed race Yale
gained the Thames regatta prestige
here at dusk to-day, defeating Har-
ward in the four-mile varsity event
by scant half lengh of open water
after one of the bitterest aquatic
struggles ever staged on this historic
waterway. For more than a mile
and half the two knife-like racing
craft paced side by side under the
propulsion of the powerful strokes
of the oarsmen and so clase were they
aligned that the official timers could
not detect fraction of a second diff
ference at the various half mile flags.
1t was not until the two mile posts
were reached that the Blue blades
could drive the bow of their shell
even few feet ahead of that of the
Crimson but once this advantage was
gained the Harvard crew. rowing
with dogged determination and game
ness seldom seen in such four mile
races was unable to creep back into
tie, let alone shove their bow into
the lead. The Cambridge crew made
desperate attempt to turn defeat
into victory half a mile from the
hnish and for a moment picked up
a trifle OF the distance, but Yale
answered with a squirt which slowly
drew them away as the Crimson oars
men, exhausted by their efforts, rolled
on their slides and slowly lost head
way with the finish posts almost with
in their reach.
Tonight the Yale adherents are
celebrating the victory with more
than usual ardor for the defeat of
Harvard in the feature event of the
regatta, the first to be rowed since
1916, has more than the ordinary
significance. The victory breaks the
tie which has existed since the last
big race when Harvard by sweeping
the river won her 25th big race and
drew even with Yale in the series
of inter-varisty contests which date
back into the early fifties.
This ifty-first regatta was marked
by other features for while Harvard
crews won the two preliminary con-
tests rowed earlier in the day, it
remained for Yale to capture the
four-mile row with a crew coached
by an amateur from an equally pow
erful eight prepared by a veteran pro-
tessional waterman who has been
fixture at Cambridge for years.
The official time of the race by
half miles was as follows:

Today; Double Headers
For City Junior League
League Standing

The City Junior League contest
was postponed last evening between
Swatara and Peerless on account of
wet grounds and will be played out
later in the season.
This afternoon the East End
Juniors meet Peerless at the Hickok
diamond and Swatara meets Nau-
dain at Seventeenth and Chestnut

The following players will be with
Naudain: Lentz, McLinn, Shower,
Page, Hoover. Shuster, Rodgers,
Bolts, Hoover and Barry.
This will be Naudain's opening
game after taking the pace of the

they will prove fast company for the
Swatara boys with their new lineup.
Bill Kurtz has been twirling
fine ball for the Swataras this sea-

one. Kurtz's hitting is also helping
Swatara greatly. Bill" has his eye on

MOLLABJURSTEDT
NOW WEX-CHAMPION
Four Times Winner of Ma
tional Tennis Title Beaten
by Boston Girl
BY Associated Press.

Philadelphia, June 21.-Miss
Marion Zinderstein and Mrs. George
w. Wightman, both of the Long
wood Cricket Club, Boston, met in
the final round of the women's ma
tional tennis tournament here to-
day in the singles championship,
which, unit yesterday, was held by
Miss Molla Bjurdstedt. Miss Blur
stedt, who had held the title since
1915, was eliminated in the semi
final round by Miss Zinderstein
while Mrs. Wightman won her way
to the final by disposing of Mrs.
Gilbert Harvey, of Philadelphia.
The womcn's doubles and girls
doubles championships also were to
be decided to-day. In the former di-
vision Miss Zinderstein and Miss
Eleanor Goss, the title holders, M ct
Mrs. Wightman and Miss Eleanora
Sears, while in the girls doubles
the finalists were Miss elizabeth
Warren and Miss Penlope Anderson,
of Richmond, Va, and Miss Mary
Heaton and Miss Katherine Lauder,
Greenwich, Conn.
Miss Bjurstedt lost the champion
ship in a historic battle which had
it's elements of pathos, and moved
many women spectators to notice.
able emotion. She put up the gam
est fight against great odds that has
ever been seen in a woman's tennis
tournament. Suffering intensely from
the internal injury received while
playing an exhibition match at Mon
treal. Canada, six weeks or so ago.
she played on her nerve alone, man
aged to win the first set, though
at the sacrifice of almost all her
strength and stuck to the court dur
ing the next two when every move
was agony.
So she stuck 1t out to the finish
and for the first time since she
landed in America was absolutely
steam-rollered. Miss Mary Browne,
the pretty Californian, has beaten
the Norsewoman, but has never
swamped her. No one else has ever
taken her measure. Miss Marie
Wagner, of New York, had a golden
opportunity on Thursday, but tossed
1t away. Miss .Zinderstein tried to
repeat Miss Wagner's stunt, but aft
er dropping the first set managed
to wake up and play real tennis.
Miss Zinderstein has a corking
good backhand cross court slice shot
and forehand drive along the side
lines that is deadly accurate and has
a world of speed. She can play the
net better than the average woman
and she covers court most efficient
ly. But in the first set she seemed
afraid to take the initiative against
Miss Bjurstedt and failed to utilize
all of her strokes. Unless she varies
her game more intelligently she will
be trimmed by Mrs. George Wight
man to-day, for the latter is the
brainiest woman player in the Unit
ed States. No one can tell what
Mrs. Wightman is going to do and
she can outguess her opponents with
a neatness and dispatch that is
reminiscent of Wallace Johnson
when at his best.

Oh, Boy! See West End
"Wrassle" Those Colored
Monarchs This Afternoon

Jupiter Pluvius having won the
baseball contest between the West
End A. A. and the Harrisburg Mon
archs, at Fourth and Seneca streets
in the fourth INNING, last Saturday
afternoon, this contest will be play
ed next Saturday afternoon at
Fourth and Seneca streets, at
O'Clock. A record breaking crowd of
5000 fans was on hand to witness
this contest. The four innings played
were full of real baseball and the
Monarchs had the fans in an up
roar all of the time. The manage
ment is looking forward to a larger
crowd this Saturday than last and
every effort is being made to make
every one comfortable. The Mon
archs have some of the fastest base
ball stars in the State of Pennsyl-
vania. and in fact is one of the
fastest colored aggregations in the
State.
Williams, the star twirler will be-
on hand for the Monarchs, as we'll
as Jordan, another man of great
fame. Both men are remembered as
the two best twirlers of the old
Harrisburg Giants. The West Enders
will have hard tussle to bring home
the bacon in this game because of
the fact that the Monarchs are out to
win and play the game TO a finish.
The Monarchs will be accompanied
by large delegation of the most en-
thusiastic rooters in Harrisburg
and this crowd of rooters alone is
better than a circus. Anybody wish
ing to see a circus and real base
ball game combined should not miss
this opportunity. Just get on a Third
street car and say West End Ball
Grounds" and the conductor will
pass you a smile and say, Fourth

Young Gilly Will Have
Kid Williams as Second
in Mondays Boxing

The picture of Young
Gilly. the Baltimore boxer
who carries the title of
southern light weight
champion, was taken in
Baltimore Is months ago,
when Gilly. then a young
ster, just going on his
eighteenth birthday, and
was training for the hard
est battle of his busy ca
reer. with Danny Ridge, of
New York. who now
handles the managerial
reins of the biggest boxing
club in the South, the
triple A. Just three weeks
before Ridge met Gilly,
and received a good lacing,
he met Benny Leonard,
worlds lightweight cham
pion, and handed him the
hardest fight in his career.
In fact, the newspapers
were divided in their opin-
ion as to who was the win
ner.
This is the same Gilly
who was sent here by his
manager last week to meet
Sammy Schiff, the local
boxer, as a substitute in
the place of Young Maho-
ney, but Schiff refused to
meet a boxer of Gilly's
caliber, and the soutrern-
er decided to show the To-
cal sports how near Sam
my came to getting
knocked out.
Barrett looks for many
of Sammy's friends at the
ringside next Monday
night. at the Quartet Hall.
in Steelton, whom Gilty
meets Tim Droney in the
feature event of ten
rounds. Gilly may be
everything the Baltimore
papers claim of him, but it
is a surety that he will
find nothing like a set-up
in the tough Lancaster
boy. who has met the best
of them, including Johnny
Kilbane. and George Cha
ney, without being knocked
off his feet. A look over
te lightweight battles held
in this section shows two
better men have not met
in a local ring.
