CRIMSON HAS EDGE
IN WEIGHT ON BLUE
One of Closest Oar DueIS in
76-Year Rivalry Is Due
This Evening.

NEW LONDON, Conn, June % t41
"A gala crowd was here today expect
ing one Of the most interesting duels in
the 76-year history of rowing rivalry
between Harvard and Yale.
The varsity race Of miles On the
Thames this evening brings together two
great and undefeated crews, both can
didates for the right 70 represent the
United States in the Olympic games.
Yale pinned its hopes on ability TO
hit terrific BEAT and get away TO a
commanding lead in the first few
strokes.
With weight advantage OF pounds
to man, Harvard depended more on
us sheer smuggling power and the abil-
ity to wear down its rival over the 4
mile course, although conceding little
even 10 the lighter Yale crew in the
matter Of sticking the oars in and get
ting them cut at rapid pace.
Harvard planned TO row close 10 So
strokes to the minute over most Of the
course, a pace which Ed Brown. the
coach. believes will be good enough to
win if Tim Clark. his giant No car.
has recovered entirely from the illness
that has Handicapped him for a week.
To match the great bulk of CLARK.
who weighs 204 and is feet 5 inches
tall, Yale has one young mammoth in

a foot over 6 feet tall. but his mates in
the boat are much lighter Smallest Of
all Is Happen. the stroke. while only.
one man besides Ladd weighs more than
100. Coach Leader has sacrificed weight
this year for feXibility.
Perhaps never in the long history Of
this regatta has there been so little 10
choose between the crews. Old timers
recalled that Is years ago today bets
were being made at 5 to that Yale
would sweep all three races.

Babe Ruth seems to have run the
scale in base ball experiences now
that, after is years, he finally has
watched home run vanish from the
records In a rainSt0rm. He poked his
twenty-sixth in among the steerage
passengers in right field at the Yankee
Stadium yesterday, but it was washed
from the books when the second half
of a Yankee Athletic double header was
halted by rain.
The. blow put the Babe, for the
moment at least, IA games IL days
and four home runs ahead of the mad
pace he struck last year when he hit so.
Young Henry Johnson, Yankee re-
cruit, gave the Athletics their second
1928 shut-out in the first game, to 0.
and enabled the Yankees to lengthen
their lead to nine and one-half games.
The Athletics outhit the champions,
8 to 7, but johnson was tight In the
pinches, while Bob Grove permitted the
Yankees to make free with him in the
later innings Tony Lazzeri started the
scoring with home run In the sixth.
In the second game the Mackmen
were leading, to 2. and had men on

0SSIE BLUEGE GLAD
CROWLEY Is AT HAND

Ossie Bluege. who has been taking
care Of the third base job for the Ma
tionals right steadily since the start of
the American League campaign. is one
person who is very glad the club has
another far corner guardian at hand.
The addition of Ed Crowley to the
squad ought to help Ossie considerably
should Manager Stanley Harris con-
tinue his policy Of sending in numerous
substitutes. once his club has the game
well in hand. or is virtually hopelessly
out Of the running
Bluege has been taking plenty Of
punishment this season in the form OF
spike wounds, bruises, wrenches and
what not, but for some time with no
chance of relief because no one was
available to assume his post Harris
hurts kept Jack Hayes at second base
and there was no one else around to
sub in the infield. But Crowley's ar
rival from Pensacola has changed this
Bluege. who had his left knee gashed
by Buddy Myers spikes on Wednesday
suffered a severe humping in the fourth
inning OF the game with the Red Sox
Yesterday when Walter Gerber lunged
back TO third ahead of Ed Kenna's low
throw. OSsie's neck was so twisted By
the collision that he had TO take several
minutes out before he could resume
play. After the sixth inning. Crowley
relieved Bluege and the latter raised
no kick. He can stand some rest &C.
casionally.
Bob Reeves made two fancy plays
during the combat. In the first inning,
he bagged Rothrock's low liner and in
the eighth lunged to his left and while
falling speared Regans line drive.
Doug Taitt, Red Sox right fielder
also starred defensively. In the third
inning he raced to the scoreboard to
haul down seeming hit from Rice's
bat and in the fifth he backed against
the fence near the right field corner
and reached up for Barnes hard drive.
GosIin and Reeves got half the Ma
tionals' safeties. Each collected two
swats on Morris
Fire bases were swiped by the Red
Sox. That triple theft for which Gas
ton really was responsible swelled the
count against Kennas catching.
Unless the going was -verg sof tnafs
was q chance that Bucky Harris xUald
return to his second base task this
afternoon. His charleyhorsed leg has
about healed.
Bob Burke, young left-hander, was
likely to start for the Nationals IN their
final game against the Red Sox. He
has not begun game this season.

he recently was loaned for brief time.

Babe Ruth promises TO cease to be a
political issue in this town.
Several weeks ago the Yankee swatter
was summoned to answer charge of

charge and thereby incurred the dis
favor of hundreds of SecaucuS youths
who had gathered in hope of seeing

The disappointed boys expressed
their feelings in a round robin to the

nounced that all the boys of the town
are to be guests of Ruth at the Yankee
