LA. Club Has
Its Troubles with
First Game Sat.

Lewiston, June 19.--Lewiston-Au-
burn baseball team is to open the sea-
son at Lewiston Athletic park on Satur-
day afternoon when they meet the San
ford team which has been cleaning up
all opponents this season.
AS the situation stands today there
isn't even a baseball team ready to take
the field for the LA association. The
shortstop berth is open because John
r. Murphy. the Georgetown University
star who was to have filed the berth,
is out of action with a broken collar
bone.
No first baseman has been signed.
Del BiSSonette was first choice but he
was made no offer. Delaney, who has
been pleasing the fans during the past
two seasons that he has been located
at Augusta, was after the job but the
chance Of signing up was put off and
put off until Delaney got a chance to
go with Portland and he grabbed the
job. Finally BissOnette was made an
offer and turned it down. and as a re-
suit two days before the first game
the management is out looking here
and there in frantic attempt to secure
first sack guardian.
i is probable that Norm Salvage,
who is due to take care of left field
will not show up until July 3, the date
when he arrived here last season. Norm
has been playing ball for the past
month or so up in Quebec and has to
wait until the first of the month for
his pay.

Washington. June 19.-Action OF
the state department in instructing
Charge Schoenfeld at Mexico CITY
Yesterday to take over the archives
and effects of the British legation
contemplated only the actual ply
steal custody.
So far as known the request Tor
this action did not include the as
sumption by the United States OF the
task of watching over the interests
of British nationals nor or exercls-
ing any further functions.
The British government continues
to retain in Mexico its consulate
general and consuls in various parts
Of the republic. 1t is assumed here
that the consul general in Mexico
City will transmit to the foreign Of
fee whatever communications are
necessary between the two coun-
tries.
The necessary for passing the Gus
tody of the legation into American
hands or those Of some other ma
tionality arose from the fact that
consuls do not enjoy diplomatic I'M
munity as do diplomatic representa-
tives. Under the arrangement made
by the British legation now Is I'M

immunities of the embassy.

tonight indicate that an agreement
will soon be reached between the

in Ontario and Quebec Is badly
crippled. Reports from other Sec

postmen declined TO strike as did a
few centers in western Ontario. Cal

The committee will not protest the

Combination Crew
Race Won by Yale
In Close Finish

New London, Conn. June 19-It
was first blood to Yale in the annual
Yale Harvard regatta on the Thames
river when the Blue combination
crew late today nosed out Harvard's
eight cared combination over a two
mile course upstream, winning the
preliminary to the main program,
which will be contested tomorrow.
Today's event, although considered
OF minor Importance in the annual
series, was one Of the most closely
contested struggles in the history Of
racing at New London. Yale was
ahead at the mile; Harvard spurted
and went into the final half mile
boat length ahead. The Blue eight
stroked by II. G. Potter Of New York
crept up abreast, and by desperate
effort in the last 90 strokes finished a
winner by four feet. The time was
IL minutes. IS seconds. The Crimson
crew was stroked by r. Scudder. of
Chicago. A second preliminary. the
gentlemen's race between Fights
made up Of graduates, was cancelled
at the request of Yale because of in
sufficient entries.
Speculation as to the issue of tomor-
rows four-mile test between Yales
crew anu lie" anu
untried eight was the dominant topic
tonight at the headquarters of the
crews and wherever Yale and Harvard
graduates We're assembled on the eve
of the races. During the last week the
chances of the Crimson have been given
greater weight by observers along the
Thames. Head Coach Edward Stevens
las evolved a fair crew from a weak
early season aggregation, the experts
say. Another element cited as favoring
Harvard tomorrow Is the unique exper-
iment Coach Ed Leader of Yale has at
tempted this season in breaking oft his
crews training for four-mile race
in favor of competition in the olympic
trials at Philadelphia over the mile
and quarter distance.
Harvard supporters urge in favor OF
their boat that the crew in a time trial
over the New London course on Satur-
day broke the course record. covering
the four miles in 10 minutes SO seconds.
Even with the tide and wind in their
favor that was regarded as fast time.
The record of 90 minutes seconds
was established by a Harvard crew in
1916. Another element which. accord
ing to Crimson hackers. makes for
Harvard success is that the present
Yale crew has not vet demonstrated
it's powers in long races. Yale has
had no time trial over the four-mile
course this season.
Drawing for lanes resulted in the
course on the east side of the river
going to Yale and the western course.
on the New London side. to Harvard,
in all three events tomorrow.
