CAMBRIDGE IS EASILY | MASTER OVER OXFORD
(Continued from First Pase)

tween which the sur would neel, from behind a dull sky-had cause,, many to desert this classic boat race.
 The crews went on the water about d. D.. and practiced starts. testing their oars and meanwhile Glancing at their opponents. The oxford crew weighed loa. pounds more than their adversaries.
 Oxford won the toss-up and chose the MiddleseN side. The two boats embarked al a:43 and at a:51 a. m, the race was under way. Cambridge took a quarter length lead and as the two crews glided down the Thames past Dukeshead, Beverly Brook. the Fulham football ground and Waldens, the advantage remained about the same. Each was stroking at g per minute.
 At the end of the first mile Cam bridge was leading by half length and increased this 10 one and a quarter lengths at Harrods.
 Cambridge by this time had in- creased it's stroke to s strokes per minute and the sturdy Oxford oars men were unable to meet the chal- lcnsc and kept up their Sc strokes per minute pace. Cambridge drew rapidly ahead.
 At Hamm crsmith bridge the can tab boat was q length and a half ahead and by the time the two had reached West Lodge was two and a half lengths ahead. Cambridge was stroking at 36.
 1 With this safe lead Cambridge de- creased its stroke to 32. while Ox- ford-its crew weakening under the great drive of Cambridge, had drop. ped to 20.
 Cambridge led by three lengths al 1Chisickeyot and Dukes Meadow Again they lessened their stroke to 30 and Oxford's dropped to 2s.
 At the three mile post Cambridge had a three length lead and held the same at Devonshire Meadows.
 The OXonians apparently were dis. tresscd. They could't meet the chal. lenge of the Cambridge crew and were rowing raggediy, making abso. lutely no race out of it. The Cantab boat had advanced to five lengths lead at Bullshead and increased this steadily. with spurts interspersed occasionally. until al the finish it shot across the mark a full ten lengths ahead of Oxford
 The Cambridge crew appeared fresh and not at all worn by the vigorous attempt. Oxford on th, other hand seemed spent. Theil rowing over the last two miles O. the race had been anything but ul to past form. The crews: 1 Oxford

, It was discovered after the un- fortunate occurrence that Ferguson'x mother hadn't sufficient money with which to send her boys body to Eir- Giuia for burial in the family plot there. Immediately a collection was taken up by the Aferiden Elks and enough money was secured to enable the mother to send the body home.
 Then, however, the boys mother was unable through financial diff culties, to accompany the caskct on it's sorrowful trip. An investigation has disclosed that the woman is in desperate financial straits at the present time. Her boy was her sole support and his earnings meant the very existence of himself and his mother.
 Taking cognizance of the fact. everywhere ill the state at amateur tight tournaments, collections have been taken up for the woman. Last night nearly $S0 was secured from the fans at the Tabs hall. This money will so to the sorrowing mother who has already stated that she bears no malice or rancor against anyone connected with anna teur boxing i'll the state and especial ly against the boy who happened 10 be her sons opponent on the ill-fat- cd night.
 Tickets for the benefit tournament to be held in Meridcn Monday night are on sale in this city at Patsy Bridgett's Cigar Store on Church street Many of them have already been sold and from present indica- tons. it appears that the sporting public is responding to the appeals with a characteristic generosity. Those who plan to purchase tickets for the affair will be repaid by the knowledge that they helped in a small way to ease the heartbreak Of a bereavcd mother.
 We have no further reports on the situation between the New Britain and Atlas basketball homogeneous. At the present time, both managers have reached an impasse in their negotiations for game 10 settle the title of the state and it appears more likely every day that there will be no game. It appears like a plain case of Manager Daley running out on the agreement reached before the season was started.

NEW BUSINESS ASSURED
 FOR ALASKA RAILROAD

SEW months of ne- gotiations, during which rates were agreed upon. a large coal movement from the Matanuska branch of the Alaska Railroad to Seward has been virtually assured for next season, General Manager Ohlson announced.
 The coal will be stacked in yards here in thousand or more ton lots, ready for fishing, Bureau of Educa- tion and coast guard boats, stores, canneries and residences. The rail road will build bunkers at Seward as soon as the tonnage jnstifies it.
 The new departure in the Alaska coal business is made possible through contracts which are being signed be- tween canerlries and the Evan Jones Coal Corspany, which mines a good grade of steaming coal in;the Mata- nuska field Coupled withs.a new rate of $1.5O per ton from the mine to tidewater granted by the, railroad, this allows the company to compete with outside shippers.
 Representatives of the company are now in Seattle negotiating with can nery concerns, and it is understood that enough contracts have already been signed to insure considerable tonnage Manager Ohlson, of the railroad, Is eenthusiastic..oVer the ar engagement an entering wedge to- ward rail development, which prom ises increased income and develop
