CALIFORNIA'S VARSITY CREW
 IN CLOSE WIN
Golden Bears Take Big Race at Poughkeepsie by
 Three-Fifths Second

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 19. The Golden Bears from the Uni versity of California, are once again rowing champions of the United States. Driving over rain-swept course on the Hudson River here, California had enough left to nose out the stern challenge of Cornell and win the varsity event of the thirty-seventh annual National Col legiate regatta yesterday.
 Washington, the victor in the freshman and junior varsity events preceding the big race, was shut out rom clean sweep of the river and aad to be content with third place. Navy was fourth; Syracuse, fifth; Penn, sixth, and Columbia, last.
 Californias winning time for the four-mile event was 1852.
 Verdict Close
 The verdict that California had won was reached only after lengthy conference among officials of the race. It was officially an- nounced that the Bears winning margin was three -fifths of a sec ond over Cornell, or about four feet. This makes the third consecu- tive Poughkeepsie win for Califor- nia's varsity, coached by Ky Ebright.
 Washington had nice lead at the two and one-half mile mark, put, for some unexplained reason, the shell wobbled and strayed from it's lane and almost touched another soa5ls -oartips.
 Fra h in Runaway
 Washington's powerful freshman crew, coached by Tom Bolles, made another runaway of the yearling race, first on the program. Bolie5'- coached outfit won the frosh event last year, and an echo of that 1884 victory was seen when Washing tons all-sophomore junior varsity, the same crew that was first in last years freshman race, won yester- days junior varsity event

LEGION CINCH FIRST .HALF'S
 LEAGUE TITLE
Moose Commit Two Poor Plays, So Lose Thriller
 Last Night, l to 0
RESULTS YESTERDAY Legion l Moose 0.

Thanks to two poor plays by it's opponents last night, the Ameri- can Legion team is winner of the first half championship of the City Baseball League schedule. The Le- zion nine nosed out it's closest rival, the Moose, in a speedy and we'll played contest last night, to O, to cinch the first-haf title.
 But, although the Legionnaires played good bail. their precious vic tory was handed to them on sil- yer platter.
 Early in the second inning, Ev Novel;, Legion batsman, was hit by pitched ball, going to first. He was moved to third base when young Fry Hagerup banged sharp single to left. Eddie Roller, the next man up, slashed a hard one at Moose Shortstop Jack Schmitz.
 Ball Dropped
 Schmitz, however, played the ball well and rifled a perfect throw to home plate in an attempt to put out Howell, racing in from third. Catch CT Pete Nellc of the Black Sox had the ball in his glove, had it on Nowell-then dropped the ball That permitted the lone score of the day and was "poor play" No. One.
 Tae ether unfortunate play--s3r the Moose-was the mix-up in coaching signals on third base in the seventh inning, the Black Sox' last and best chance to score. Tom Haines, at bat first for the Moose, slapped his second single of the day to land on first. Then, following an out, Jimmie Manning boomed one to center-field, sending Haines to second.
 The ball scared out into the deep center. It was good for a single, anyway, but Center-f fielder Novel; started to kick it around, and Man ming reached second on the error. Meanwhile, Haines was coming into third. But, for some reason, he stopped there, even though Novel; just had reached the ball. There were many fans who thought that Haines could have made home cas- fly with the tying run, so that was "poor play" No. Two.
 Play Is Fast
 Everybody got his moneys worth last night Without a doubt it was the closest game of the season and the seven innings required but one hour and 20 minutes to play. Both Claude Erskine, Moose, and Ken Jung2, Legion, pitched good ball. Neither hurler was especially bril- liant, but neither allowed more than five hits.
 Two nifty double-play killings by the Legion combination of Roller, Al Lowe and Joe Snow, choked off a5 many threatening Black Sox rallies. The Moose also staged a double play, Fred Schmitz to Walt Andrews.

The House progressive bloc"
today refused to dissolve under
the fire of Democratic leaders.
Leaders of the movement to
unite the progressives of three
parties boasted that they would
increase their charter" mem
bership of 33 to at least SO
within q week. '.
A statement of principles, to
be formally adopted by the
group, was virtually completed
by the policy committee headed
by Representative Boileau (P0
of wisconsin.
Attacks Resented
Further reverberations were
expected as Democratic members
showed their resentment at at
tacks from the party leadership
Representative Maverick D0 OF
Texas said:
"They are trying to bluff
Democratic members and keep
them from joining. They can't
bluff me. l didn't ride into
office on the coat-tails Of the
President; 1 rode in on my
own"
Representative Hoeppel CD Of
California, asserted that the
group praised the progressive
principles" of President Roose-
velt, and was formed to combat
reactionaries Of all parties in the
House"
Although Democratic leaders
charged that an effort was be-
ing made to form a third
party bloc" this was denied by
spokesmen for the group. Repre-
sentative Boileau said:
81 wish that it we're true. I'd
like to see a third party move
ment grow, but this has nothing
to do with it.
FULLER AROUSES IRE
Representative Fuller CD OF
Arkansas, aroused the ire OF the
| Democratic members by charging
them with joining in third-party
anti-adminiStration move.
He predicted that the wrath OF
the De ocratic organization
would be visited on the dissenting
congressman in the next primary
| elections.
