IIHMMWMM'MWM'M”*" I ALL THE NEWS OF THE BASEBALL AND SPORTING WORLDS IWIIIIHHMMHHWIMWMHMMMtWHtWIMWIMIUMWWUHWWMHMMMHtMWWWHWWW** , NOT NEWS, BUT VIEWS 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. “V'-s- GOOD TENNIS ATNASHVILLE WAS PLAYED ON THURSDAY ,yt 9 Nashville, Tenn., June 28.—Some pretty tennis was played here Thurs day afternoon.

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. . 64 15 OCILLA WIN8.

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. This Is the box score of Thursday's slugging match: Birmingham, ab. r. h. po. a. e.

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. Contribution In the way of reserve lists and notes of the teams may ha found below: Beck &. Gregg’s Reserve List.
