HARVARD AND
YALE REGATTA
Yale Considered Slight Favorite To-
day on Four Mile Course on
Thames at New

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 25.-ln
a blaze Of society, show and splendor
the Yale and Harvard crews drop the
curtain on intercollegiate sports here
today with their annual battle on the
Thames.
The harbor was filled with the
yachts of the Morgans, the Wander
bits, the Goulds, the Whitneys, the
HarknesSes. the Merrimans, and other
successful sons of Yale and Harvard
the streets were dense with long lines
OF high powered automobiles laden
with partisan supporters of the two
big universities.
Both squads were to be taken out
today, coming back only in time to get
into their toys and take their shells
down off the shelf.
A ghost from the gridiron at Cam
bridge will sit in the Yale shell and
urge eight brawny E1i's to avenge the
victory of the Harvard eleven last No
vember.
A shade of last June will rise up
from the bottom of the Thames and
beckon on the Harvard crew to vic
tory that will make amends for the
loss last year to Yale.
The result of the race will not have
the slightest effect in browning the
water kings of the year. But what the
race lacks in official quality will be
lore than made up in sentiment and
tradition handed down from crew to
crew since 1864 when Yale won the
first race.
For ffty-six years with the excep-
ton Of 1917 when her young blood was
in France, Yale and Harvard have
battled on the water. The score
stands Yale IS, Harvard %. Seven
times the event was open and won by
other crews. Harvard, however, has
the best modern record with eight
victories Of the last eleven years.
The Yale varsity crew including
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, son of
Harry Payne Whitney, is considered a
slight fayorite over Harvard.
The record for the four mile Thames
course is 20 minutes, 20 seconds,
made in 1916 by the Harvard eight.
1t is considered in no danger today.
Indications promised that the sched-
ule would be carried out on time with
the freshman race this morning at
As standard eastern time. The jun
Tor varsity was to follow Immediately
and the feature event will be held at
five p m.

HAMILTON NEW
LEAGUE MEMBER
keokuk's Neighbor Gets Museatine
Franchise in the Iowa State
League and Plays Sun
day.
FIRST AT BURLINGTON
Illinois Boys Will Add Strength to the
ORGANIZATION and Will Make More
Compact Cir
cult

Hamilton, Ill, is the new member
of the Iowa State league. according
10 the announcement made from
league headquarters in Burlington to-
day. The Hamilton team will take
the place Of the Muscatine team, and
rumors of a smashup in the Iowa
circuit will be quashed with the an
nouncement of Hamilton's entrance.
A Fort Madison sports writer init
mated yesterday that Fort Madison
would play an independent team to-
morrow and that other teams in the
league would disband or play indie
pendent ball, because Muscatine was
out and Let's had not been accepted.
1t looks today, however, as If the
problem had been solved with the
admission of Hamilton and the league
will not split up.
The Burlington Story.
The Hawk-Eye says of the infant
member Of the league:
Hamilton, H., has secured Musca-
tines franchise for membership in
the Iowa State baseball league and
will play the local team at Burlington
Sunday. The announ cement was made
Thursday by Manager G. C. Masters.
The Hamilton team has been try
ing for some time to enter the
league, Mr.. Masters said, and the
withdrawal of Muscatine from the
league offered a favorable chance
for its entrance. Quincy. which was
also trying to get the same franchise,
Withdrew because of its inability to
play Saturday baseball.
according to MIR. Masters, the
Hamilton team is live one and will
give the Burlington boys a good bat
tie on the West Burlington diamond
Sunday. Burlington will play at Keo-
kuk Saturday.
Some New Pitchers.
Two new dark horse pitchers
have been secured by the manager to
supply the places Of SchinZel and
Bfrkenstock, who quit Wednesday.
The names of the men are to be kept
secret until the game Sunday, Mas
tiers said, but he intimated that the
men were first class hurlers.
Burlington will have no difficulty
in keeping her place at the head Of
the league Mr.. Masters said Thurs
day. in spite of difficulties which
have arisen. There will be no in
efficiency because Of the withdrawal
of certain players, and the team will
go on just the same as ever.
The entrance of Hamilton into the
league comes as somewhat of sur
prise. to the fans, as it was consid-
cred reasonably certain that Quincy
would supplant Muscatine.'

Shakeup at Burlinoton.

From Burlington come rumors Of a
shakeup in the team there, and with
d-awal of some of the players Is
limited at The Hawk-Eye publishes
this story:
George Manusch, of the Burling
ton baseball team, denied Wednes
day evening that the withdrawal OF
two players, Birkenstock and Schen
Eel, was caused by any argument con
corning his and Fahlgrens release
He authenticated the statement that
the two men would quit, and referred
their leaving.
THE shakeup in the team seems
to be severe one, for Manusch said
he would henceforth be umpire, in
stead of occupying his regular posi-
ton IN the nine. With Burlington
leading. the Iowa league by a close
margin, and the maximum OF good
play about to be reached, the situa
ton arising from the resignation OF
the star hurlers is regarded as set
back. There will be no hindrances
to the Burlington games, however.

corning the shakeup last evening"
