CAMBRIDGE CREW WINS
IN RACE WITH OXFORD
Upset Dope AS Crew Stroked By American Is
Badly Defeated On Thames

ed down as the hour approached for
setting the boats on the stream.
A vast number OF people who other
wise would have gone to the Thames to
make a holiday of the occasion were
kept away, but nevertheless hundreds Of
thousands gave the Oxford. Cambridge
struggle its usual place as the greatest
event in sport in the matter of at
tendance.
Beaten From Start
The break in the weather really IA
vored Cambridge, but at best 1t was
only a diminution OF the advantage
held by Oxford, whose boat was largely
manned by experienced veterans of last
years race, and whose aggregate
weight was considerably greater.
1.-THE calmness of Mellen in the stress
Of the race was largely responsible for
last years victory. But although he
seemed to be rowing at the stroke po-
sttion with the same self-possession and
courage this time Oxford was beaten
from the start, and although a few
brave efforts were made to overhaul
the fleeing stern Of the light blue craft
Cambridge always had enough power in
reserve to keep at least a length ahead
seMower-White Of Cambridge toppled
over In collapse on his dragging sweep
after crossing the line, but he had sus-
tanned himself long enough TO see the
victory won.
Finish Close To Record
Cambridge won the toss and selected
the Surrey, or southern side Of the
river, which in a long run abreast
would have compelled Oxford to go q
somewhat longer distance, as the Md
dlesex side Is on the outward turn of
the river. Cambridge derived no par
ticular benefit from this, however, as
Oxford rowed a trailing race and did
not have to go wide on the turns. u
Cambridge came within IL seconds of
the record for the distance established
by Oxford In 1911. Oxford was splash
ing badly in the final futile effort to
avert defeat and Cambridge rowed
calmly with perfect unison and scarcely
a ripple to the end.

BRITISH CHAMPION
BEATS BOBBY JONES
Albanian Fights Valiantly, But Is Unable Tc
Overcome Havers' Early Lead

but they served him badly, for the
Britisher took the nineteenth, four and
five, and held Jones to halves for the
next three holes,
On the twenty third, Jones holed out
in par five and took the hole when
Hayers missed a six-foot putt. Havers
won the next two, due to faulty nibiiclx
and mashie work on the part Of the
American champion. They halved 3he
next two and made the turn with the
English title holder four up.
- climax Comes
Jones won the next two holes, one
with a birdie three they halved the
next three and from that point on the
match was touch and go.
The climax came on the tkirty-third,
when Havers got caught in three un-
successful efforts to emerge from two
traps at the green and finally con-
ceded the hole to the Atlanta youth,
five and seven. That left Jones one
down. and It seemed certain that he
was destined to overcome his opponents
lead.
Despite his ill-luck In landing q six
foot trap on the thirty-fourth, Jones
recovered with a remarkable pitcher
shot and placed his ball within three
feet of the cup. With a chance to
square the match then, he dubbed the
easy putt and halved the hole with
Havers in five.
The Englishman won the thirty-fifth
hole and the match with neat pars
four. =

$4,000 from the funds Of the gov
ernment liquor control department

ond was that $4,000 was paid into

gance in connection with relief ex-
pend1tureS made through his depart
ment in periods of unemployment.

ing personal expenses from public
FUNDS and using the patronage of his
department to advance his political
fortunes. Extravaganza and waste in
administering relief moneys also was

various public officials who received
payments for alleged extra services

were illegal. Traders who supplied
goods at excessive prices and fisher
men and townsfolk who received re-
return also were censured
