YALE DEFEATS HARVARD BOAT CREW
Well, the new pitching wonder, Kwnlm, was handed “it” by
the one-time champions Thursday in Slag Town. Rather the re
finement of cruelty to dally with us until near the wind up, then
go in and smash the ball to all parts of the lot.
With the game within one of a tie, Swalm was yanked from
the platter and Ford was hurried into the breach. Before he could
, unwind his pitching repertoire the Vaughnites had ripped two
more runs and the game off of his service. Hard luck to get the
discredit of losing a game like that.
And while this was happening to us Memphis was climbing
all over Shreveport, that honored centenarian, Stoekdale, not on
ly 1 shutting out the enemy but driving in the winning run with'
a triple.
It widened the gap between Atlanta and the Babblers to just
.101 points. AVell, June is nearly done, and maybe the hoodoo
will fly away then.
Talk about runaway races, but that Chicago National crew
is going a bit. Out of 60 games played they have dropped just
13. The haughty New Yorks are the nearest contenders, and they
are just 138 points to the rearward.
That kind of unequal race robs the game of interest.
A great old race on the Thames, at New London, Conn., in
which Yale beat Harvard by a nose! For the entire 4-mile
course it was almost an even fight, but on the wind-up the blue
showed to better advantage.
Chicago and Cleveland in the American are having a heart
breaking struggle for the leadership. Cleveland has edged up
to within five points of the Windy City bunch ,and is coming
strong.

In Four-Mile Contest
Shells Cling to Each
Other <0 End.
ew London, Conn., June 2S.—By not
more than a length, Yale's 'varsity
crew won a hard-rowed race against
Harvard on the Thames river at dusk
last evening.
Tho rare, apparently, was won in the
lust half mile. The better form of the
blue on perfectly calm water proved a
more powerful factor than tho brown
in the Harvard boat. It was a grand
*, rowed very fart for half the dls-
tunco, when both crews began to slow
up from the effects of their exertions.
The official time. 4 miles, was: Yale,
21:10; Harvard, 21:13.
Both crews .finished In good condi
tion, and were able to pall over to
their Moats across the river. The race
rowed up stream, after hours of
delay, owing to a gale of wind which
finally died out with the sun.
Both hoots got away In good style.
Harvard got a slight advantage at the
start, but although Yale was rowing a
over stroke, the Ells soon were
ven terms with the crimson, nnd at
the first half mile llag were leading
Harvard by a bout length.
Never once In the whole four miles
lid the long, graceful shells cease to
lup each other. Thousands of persons
aboard the observation trains nnd on
every kind of floating craft, and those
ho lined the shore sent cheer upon
beer to the old rivals os they fought
out one of the grandest races In the
history of boating.

MACON GOLFER.
Birmingham Wins Slugging
Match From the Crackers
Special to The Georgian.
Birmingham, Ala., June 28.—The lo
cal* won one of those old-fashioned
slugging matches from the Firecrack
ers here Thursday afternoon. Score,
Birmingham 7, Atlanta 6.
The Crackers had the large end of
the battle well in band until the eighth
Inning, when Vaughn and his hired
men waded Into a one Mr. Swalm and
when the smoke had cleared away
there were five run* on the score board
to the locals' credit.
Ford relieved Swalm In the eighth
Inning with the bases full, and pitched
good bull during the remainder of the
contest. "Ginger" Clarke, considered
one of the best slabtnon in the Southern
League, pitched for the local* and was
batted rather freely by the Georgia
Crackers. *
The Firemen made three run* In the
first inning. Becker opened the game
by getting a free pass to first. Spade
popped out to second base. No ad
vance. Paskert hit to second and
Walters threw wild to first, the error
resulting In Becker scoring. For
then singled to center and Mr. Paskert
scored.
The Crackers added another run to
their credit in the second. Castro dou
bled to left and Dyer singled to center.
Castro going to third. Swalm -struck
out, but Becker singled to right and
Castro scored. Smith popped out to
short und Jordan fanned.
The Barons made two runs In the
third inning on three hits. Molesworth
walked, and C. Smith singled to renter,
Molesworth going to second. Meeks
bent out n\\ infield hit to third. Base*
full. Walters doubled to left and Moles-
orth and C. Smith scored.
The Crackers scored again In the
sixth. Dyer singled past short, and
ent to second on a wild pitch. Becker
singled to center nnd Dyer scored.
The Crackers scored In the eighth
Inning. Count Castro tripled to center
field and scored a moment later when
Dyer sent a long fly out to left field.
The Barons made five runs off five
hits In the eighth Inning nnd they also
won the game nt this eventful time.
Swalm was knocked out of the box by
the large number of hits anil Ford
could not do much better, us the bases
were full when he went In.
The Crackers played good ball and
mode only one error, but the Vaughn
ites were a hoodoo to' them nnd the
Firemen simply could not win the con
test.
The Crackers will play tho Barons
again this afternoon, and It Is very
probabl© that either Roy Castleton, the
young gent from New York, or Bob
Spade, the former South Atlantic
League star, will pitch for the Fire
men. Reagari or Turner will probably
twirl for the locals.

NOTES LAST SATURDAY’S GAME.
(By Mike Winn.)
RIt Boche has returned to his old-
time form and played all-round ball at
the keystone sack.
Richardson was there with the stick,
getting two two-baggers.
Willie Sullivan at short only had one
chance through the nine innings of
play.
Lamina fanned twelve men in six
Innings, although his wildness was
costly. He also secured one of the five
hits, good for three bases. Edens
struck out four In two innings, and
still we lost the game.
On account of the heavy responsibil
ity of Manager Winn, Sartorlus has
been elected assistant manager.
By their own request. Manager Winn
has given Jimmie Cottonharn and W.
Bumstead their release.
Following is the line-up:
Richardson, N. Sullivan. E. Sullivan,
Boche, W. Sullivan, Lamina, Sartorlus,
Edens, Huddleston, Kitchens, Allies,
McBride and Phil Shaw.
The Commercial Leaguers will play
again on Saturday afternoon for The
Georgian's pennant and three good
game* are expected to he dished out
to the fans.
The Beck & Gregg team and the
Sun Proof team are tied for first place
and these clubs -will play all the hard,
er to win their games.
The race for The Georgian's pennant
Is one of the closest ever seen in a cuj
or amateur league. The first twe
teams are tied for first place, the next
two teams are tied for second p| ac «
and so on down the line.
Beck & Gregg will probably d e .
feat the Koca Nolas. This game
will bo called promptly at 3 o'clock
and all of the players must be on hand
by that time. Last week Beck & Greg*
was defeated by the Southern
Railway team. Accidents will hap
pen. you know, and It may be that they
will be defeated again on Saturday
Southern States Electric Company and
the Sun Proofs game should be a good
contest. M. Kuts, like the Beck &
Gregg team, will probably down the
Southern Railway club.
