PRINCETON, N. j., May 14.-The
finishing touches were put on the Yale,
Cornell and Princeton crews here to-
day, and the three coaches are con-
ident to night that the men will row
in top form tomorrow. Iale's three
cights went over the course on Lake
Carnegie in both the morning and
afternoon while Cornell and Princeton
elected final row for the afternoon
other than an easy paddle over the
course and few racing starts.
Coach Guy Nickals of the Ellis, after
the trial spins in the morning, took his
men out first for the afternoon session,
leaving the boathouse at 4 o'clock
sharp. As courtesy to the visitors
Yale was given the launch first and
Cornell had the second opportunity,
thereby holding the Tigers back until
very late After his return Nickalls
expressed himself as extremely con
fident.
Cornell left the boathousc shortly

Lake Carnegie tomorrow, so he was

After the paddle both varsity and
freshman were lined Up for a few

Coach j. Duncan Spaeth of the
Tigers got his men off about 6 o'clock.
After slowly rowing up the lake to the
finish of the course the three Prince
ton crews returned to the boathouse
with short spurt. In line with his
long established policy Coach Spaeth
refused absolutely to prophesy the
outcome of to-morrow's races.
The sky cleared late in the day for
the first time in thirty-six hours. Ideal
conditions should prevail for the big
regatta. Smooth water and fine day
are expected to improve the chances OF

The race was run over a muddy track.
and the little miss demonstrated her
mud running abilities by getting down
in the van.
1t was a close call for the Hartman
colors, as 1t was in the last jump that
she managed to get her head in front.
For while it looked as if Winds of
Chance was going to make q runaway
race of 1T. She quickly gained four
length lead, but turning into the stretch
she began to slacken pace and the
field swarmed around her. Rodriguez
saved ground with Sauta Paula and in a
desperate drive just managed to nose
out Jacobina. Due de Morny was
third.
The large crowd was treated to a sur
prise when, just after the finish of the
fourth race, Paul Jones, Kentucky
Derby winner, with Ted Rice up
paraded past the grandstand. He
walked to the furlong pole in the
stretch, turned and breezed to the
stand, a furlong in IA seconds.
Jockey frankie Murphy was per-
mitted to accept mounts again. He can
ride for his contract employer only, the
Nevada Stock Farm. Jockeys Haynes
and Morris were both suspended for
three days each.

English Review or Trading FL
nanccs Show Big Balance in
Favor of United States.
M ItOnEKT j. pI,t:\y,

LONDON. June i2.--In spite OF the
large percentage expansion in her
exports and re-eNports Great Brit
ain still has to pay the United States
in securities or in promises to pay
TO the extent OF between $4,000 o 90 900
and s2.5o0.o00.O00 annually, says Sir
George Paish, the economist. in a
gloomy review of the credit situation.
Britain is now giving credit to Con-
tincntal nations or accepting pay
ment in securities for goods supplied
and services rendered at the rate OF
over $2,000.000. 900 a year hc declares.
But British purchases in the United
States more than countcrbalance this
surplus. The banks of every nation
have granted all the credit they feel
warranted in granting. and there is "A
disposition to curtaii existing credits
rather than to grant additional ones.
Sir George believes that the credit
position in Europe is more dangerous
than the coming food shortage. which
in itself will demand high measure
of altruism II the peoples OF Europe
are to be preserved from starvation.
In the current crop reports the har-
vests of this side are less than GO per
cent OF the amount required by the
prc-war rate of consumption, and as
there is only n very moderate surplus
available from the rest of the world.
all the nations east Of France are
suffering serious privation.
