HARVARD FAVORED
OVER YALE'S CREW
Chace, at Stroke, Believed
to Give Crimson Edge
in Varsity Race.
BY the Associated Press.

n YEW LONDON. Conn, June 25.
n On 4-mile course laid out
u through the greatest fleet of
pleasure craft to drop anchor
IN the peaceful Thames since their
rowing duels were inaugurated IS
years ago, the varsity crews of Har-
ward and Yale this evening will race
the seventy-fifth renewal OF the oldest
athletic rivalry in American college
history.
The clash of the varsities, sched-
uled to start at 6:15 pm, will top off
this towns biggest sports program of
the year. The meeting of Tom Bolles'
first Harvard varsity and veteran Ed
Leaders sixteenth Yale boatload gave
promise of upholding the best of the
lnnumerable traditions behind this
original among collegiate regattas.
Their records in the Springs sprint
races virtually were parallel, the va
rance in their physical statistics was
a matter Of mere fractions, and only
on experience and the ability of its
lso-pound stroke, Jim Chace, was the
Crimson given slight edge.
While both crews are admittedly
among the best ever turned out at
either institution, there was little
prospect of a new upstream record
The mark now stands at 20 minutes
1425 seconds, set by Yale in 1926 with
a favoring wind and tide.

How about little bouquet in
Monte Weaver's direction, too?
There was an ominous crackle to
the Thin Mans fast ball as it tipped
toward the Indians yesterday a
crackle to end all speculative phases
regarding Monte. Since the season
started the Forgotten Man has been
the best pitcher on the Washington
club, but with few realizing it.
He can't be overlooked any longer.
Today, as the Griffs held their fifth
straight victory and their longest
winning streak of the season, Monte
Weaver owned his seventh pitching
victory of 1887 his seventh win
as against three defeats. He already
has won more games than he chalked
up all last season and as many as he
has won in his last two years in a
Washington uniform.
Moreover, if you are looking for
one Of the guys who is responsible for
most OF this happy habit of winning
regularly, you can stop with Monte.
He started the five-game winning
streak q week ago come tomorrow
when he beat the Browns, 2 to /.
He made it No. yesterday by beating
the Indians, 8 to 2. And
1t was his sixth victory in his last
seven games.
