Trailing 30 as the game went
into the seventh inning ON Wilson
school field last night. the Flying

up four tallieS in that inning which
were enough to give them the final
verdict over the Bakers by a AS
count. Gregory and Lynn Stewart
locked horns in a pitching duel and
il was Stewards wildneSs in the
fatal seventh that had much TO do
with the scoring OF the Gasmen
runs.
The Bakers scored their first run
in the third inning on a double by
Humphrey and on an overthrow to
third he kept coming on in to score.
In the fifth stanza the Bakers added
two more when Lynn Stewart batted
out a long single with the bases
loaded, two runners scoring on the
play.
This defeat has put the Bakers
into q tie for first place in the
league standings with the Coca

LYNN STEWART
RELEASED" BY
CRAMER TIE AM

Batters in the night league. out
side of the Cramer nine, will get a
cheer from the announcement made
today by Grady Neeley, manager oil
the Bakers team, that Lynn
Stewart, heretofore star pitcher tor
the team, was given his release to-
day.
Lynn has baifled the batters right
and left but he had a wild seventh
inning last night which enabled the
Flying "A team to take the Bakers
into camp. Lynn had a good eX-
ouse for being wild but Neeley would
stand for no excuses, and the
pitcher gets the sack.
In his place Manager Neeley has
signed up a new star, Gary Edgar
Stewart, who will be seen in the
pitchers box the next time Cramers
team is due to play.
The Press interviewed the new
pitcher this morning and he has
plenty of stuff-so he says. why
I can pitch rings around this other
guy who has the same name
have" the new pitcher said. That
guys arm is dead he hasn't got
anything but a glove and a prayer
and I don't think Neeley has much
baseball brains either or he wouldn't
let a false alarm like Lynn Stewart
play with him so long. Wait until l
get into the box and local fans are
going to see some real pitching. I'll
make them forget they ever thought
Lynn Stewart was pitcher of any
thing except hay
With that the modest young man
shifted his nine pounds into a COM
Portable position on the bed at lie
Blanc's Maternity home where he
arrived this morning, and turned to
the serious business in hand-a good
sleep. Mrs. Lynn Stewart mother

pitcher after what his son said

mind. And that was the winner's
margin.
Secondly, finally, and most start
ling. is that l6 young men could be
so perfectly matched for skill, pow
er and stamina. Not 16 brothers or
l6 cousins or even l6 boys from the
same part of the country, but 10
boys from the tar west and the far
east: boys entirely different in ap-
pearance. weight, height, habits, and
training; boys who eat different
foods. drink different drinks, and
whose names-Van Arsdale, Ber-
kenkamp. Menges. AndreSeS and
SoWerwine TO name a feW-indicate
different blood lines.
Furthermore, they were taught by
coaches with opposing styles, and
on their ride down the river they
were affected by dissimilar currents
CT wind and water.
Well Matched
Yet, for I8 minutes, 81 and 3-5th
seconds the two opposing groups OF
young men were so perfectly match
ed so absolutely Identical that had
a giant, unseen hand reached down
and picked up the California crew
and deposited it in the Cornell
shell, and vice versa, it wouldn't
have made ripple's difference.
When the two shells crossed the
line the LOO spectators on the OBJ
servation train were about equally
divided in opinions as to the winner.
From the press car. which was
slightly behind the shells, the angle
made it seem as though California
held a comfortable lead of almost a
length. Two cars up, however,
which was loaded tight with tight
Comedians. the angle gave precise
" the opposite effect, and the
cheering was something to listen to.
The Cornell crew thought it had
won. for Immediately after whipping
through the two tagged buoys that
identified the finish, the boys sum-
moned their last bit Of strength to
lift their blades high in the air and
wave them triunphantly. The Cali
fornians conduct indicated that they
too believed Cornell was victorious,
for they drifted calmly down the
river for a hundred yards or SO, to
rest YEARLY on their oars. But
when the Dig number i" went up
the officials scoreboard the boys
from California came to life-came
t. life almost as quickly. in fact, as
the men of Cornell lost their en-
thusiasm II was a heart t-breaker
for Cornell to lose. Strictly an
under-dog, the big red crew looked
the favored coast boatload in the
eye all the way, conceding nothing,
asking nothing.

GOLDEN BEARS CAPTURE CLOSE
RACE FROM CORNELL'S CREW

/ Washington'S all-sophomore varsity
in the preliminary race on Oakland
Estuary early in the spring, the
Bears season hinged on victory
here yesterday.
AT one time. going to the first
mile mark, the Bears were sixth in
the flotilla of seven crews, leading
only Columbia. but with as prodigi-
Gus a squirt as the Hudson has seen
in years they came from sixth to
third in less than a half mile, pass
ing Pennsylvania, Navy and SYRIA
cuse, and in another mile and a
half they nosed out in front OF
Washington and Cornell.
The leg-and-arm stroke which KY
Ebright brought to a high peak OF
efficiency at California seemed to
leave his proteges a wealth of re-
serve power. Jim Wray's Cornell
varsity eight, the surprise crew OF
the regatta, would have smashed the
hearts of a less resourceful crew.
Going into the last mile Cornell
carried three distinct challenges to
California, but each was met and
answered.
No Disagreement
At the finish, California was
bending pressure on its eight blades
in one final Herculean lunge as the
shell flowed over the line. AS in
many a close skirmish in earlier
years, the crew which was taking
its stroke had the winning edge.
Referee Julian Curtis, veteran Of
ficial of the regatta, said that from
the referees boat trailing the crews
it seemed TO him Cornell had won
and the outbursts OF some Cornell
fans may have stimulated the dis
cusSion which held up the decision.
Curtis stated, however, that there
, was no disagreement among the
judges as to Californias victory.
Washington, out of the money
only once in the last II Pough-
keepsie regattas, trailed in third
place. The huskies had a glorious
chance to sweep the river, feat
never yet accomplished. Al Ulbrick-
sons freshman and junior varsity
crews triumphed handily with open
water behind their rudders, but the
varsity succumbed to a jinX which
