For over n week the crimson of Harvard
and the blue of Yale hive both waved over
the waters ot the Thames and Interest Is on
the Increase for the final struggle , to take
place June 29.
The oni ) question now to be settled Is
whether the Harvard eight Is as fast as the
crack crew that Yale sent to the Thames
There has been some chance for compari
son , an the same secrecy which has formerly
obtained has been relaxed somewhat.
Roughly speaking , Yale has the best of It
nil far as 'Varsity Is concerned , but the Harvard -
vard , four-oared crew Is rowing In much
btttcr form than their rivals
H In a conservative statement that Yale
has not been so nervous since 1S93 over the
condition of her crew. The Yale eight up to
data has not shown any remarkable speed
The crew. In a word , la not up to ttio ex
pectations of the coaches The coaches had
expected n great deal of this eight , first , because -
cause It Is a veteran eight , and second , be
cause It has received so much coaching. The
crew has not fulfilled these expectations and
ns the race draws nearer tlic coaches arc be
coming more and more doubtful whether this
eight will evpr" show fast time. The situa
tion Is one of uncertainty and the coaches
are far from being satisfied.
' The Harvard eight Is a big crew of joung
tncn and the Yale eight Is n crew of young
slants , The Yale men have had more ex
perience In rowing tlian the Harvard and
they look like veterans.
TJx'cry man In the Yale boat , with the ex
ception of Brown , No. 5 , haa rowed In a
'Varsity eight. Brown % as a member of last
t. j ear's freshman crew and of the 'Varsity
/ foot ball team of the last two seasons.
| , , There Is not a man In cither boat who has
( f2 any physical Imperfection. Tlic two eights
j A. are remarkable In the physical development
t of the men. Both crews are trained down
very fine , and If the men were not fine tjpes
of athletes there would undoubtedly have
been many cases of overtraining before this
There v\lll bo much less difference noted
In the styles of rowing exhibited by the two
crews In this jear's race Harvard lias this
iY jcar modified the English rigging , so that It
is almost the same as Yale's rigging Both
crews are using the narrow-bladed English
oars and both have gone back to the Ameri
can method of rigging the elides directly over
the keelson. Harvard has discarded Hie old-
fashioned English tholepins and has re
turned , to the swivel oarlocks , which nil
.Americans use. Harvard has , lengthened out
her slides from sixteen tp eighteen Inches ,
while Yale has lengthened hers from sixteen
to seventeen Inches. Both are rowing accord.
Ing to tho. fundamental principles of the
English stroke. There Is , however , consider
able difference In the two crews. Harvard
has stuck somewhat morp cjoselj to the
Engllfih stroke than Yale has , and the
latter has changed very little from last year
Several wealthy alumni of Princeton have
conceived the Idea of sending a track team
to Paris to compete In the Olympic games
next summer. Thej do this with the hope
of booming a class of sport which has been
admittedly weak at the Tiger college. Cap
tain Cregan announces that there Is now no
doubt about Princeton entering , some of the
gentlemen Interested In sending the team
abroad had Informed him that the expenses
iorlhc trip were tully subscribed. The ques
tion now arises what sort of a team -will
Prfnccton send to these Ttorld-renowncd
games Princeton made a good showing at
Athen In 1S96 under the captaincy of "Bob" '
Garrctt. In the Intercollegiate games ot 'OS
Princeton scored 29 points , whllo this spring
only 11 points were secured.
The track maragement announces that the
preliminary games will Include gymnastic ,
fencing , aquatics , bi j cling , polo , climbing ,
*
archery and skating , field races consisting
of distances of 100 , 400 , SOO nnd 1,500. meters ,
broad and tilgh jumps , pole vault , snot ,
discus and hammer events , In all ot
Princeton will be represented.
There Is an extraordinary Interest being
manifested among sports pnd men of all
callings over the coralnc of the new heavj-
ueight champion ot the norld , Jim J
Jeffries. He will be at Doyd's opera house
Tuesday evening nnd the prospects are
that the theater will be taxed to Us fullest
capaclt ) Nearly everjbody wants to see
the man who lowered the colors of Bob
ritzslmnions. The show , whllo It will be .1
mighty Interesting one , will bo of abort
duration Jeffries will box four rounds with
Jim Daly and Illustrate his fight with Fltz
in an exhibition -with his brother Jack.
Preceding this there Mill > bo a six-round
bout between Paul Murraj- , the middle
weight , and a big unknown from Indian
apolis ,
The success of 4he Omaha High school
team In Its recent game at Tarklo shows
that there was no excuse for the High school

With two first-class pitchers and several
good hitters they could have been fairly
Euccesiful against an the neighboring teams

The next contest of Importance In the
pugilistic world will be the fight between
George ( Kid ) I.avlgnc. champion light
weight of the world , and Frank Erne Both
men are now in training and the battle
will take place at the Hawthorne Athletic
club's arena , at Cheoktovvaga , just outside
the clt ) limits This Is the place where
James J Corbett and Kid McCoy were to
have fought last September. It is a mam
moth affair , seating nearly 15.000 persons ,
and la likely to bo filled when the two brat
men In the lightweight division get together
next month
Reports from Lavlgne's quartern at
Oceanic , N J , arc to the effect that the
champion Is alrcad ) to weight and that
he Is In good fighting trim now He Is
being handled by lan Creedon Erne I *
doing his work at hU own private gmna-
slum , and he has Introduced a new sjstem
of training. Ho does his work between the
hours ot I and S In the morning and 7 and S
In the evening During the heated part of
the day ho lounges about In the gmnat > lum
or In the orchard In the rear.
The Hawthorne Uhletlc club Is giving a
guarantee purae of JT.uOO for this battle
ritzslmmons is still the middleweight
champion of the world , although this maybe
bo slight consolation for the man who so
rcccntl } lost the heavj weight laurels
Should Pltz adhere to his determination to
retire from the pugilistic arena the middle
weight tltlo would be claimed by McCoy ,
who has time and again asserted his willing
ness to defend the title against all comers.
This , of course , brings Tommy Hjan to
the front again , with a challenge to again
meet the Kid to battle for the honors
Kjan Is at the present time In the best
of condition as he has been training right
along with Jeffries for several weeks The

The coming of the new heavyweight cham

enthusiasm , not enl > In sporting circles but

the old school. Insofar as his eagerness to

The Omaha Cricket club will plav two
games with Denver on Monday , July 3
Wickets will be pitched promptly at 1 p m
On July 4 the game will commence at 10 20
and continue , with an Interval for lunch , till
6-HO p. nil
Indications point to Denver putting a very
strong batting team In the field , but their
bowling will be proportionally weak. The
advent of the great Gloucestershire plajcr ,
Fairbanks , has Infused no end of confidence
Into the Colorado men , but Taylor ha not
jet got over the reverse sustained by the
local meu In Denver a > ear ago and If de
termination will go for anjthing he wilt lick
them off his own bat.
Captain Trancls having gone east , the
piloting of the Omaha team will devolve
upon Prof Sims Responsibility of this so-t
seems to suit the player from our slater
city across the water , If we may Judge from
recent performances It Is well , too , that
no should be broken In before the more Im
portant contests In Winnipeg
Perhaps It Is well to state that admission
to the Emmett street grounds will be free
and that women will find ample bhadc In
the well appointed pavilion ot the club
The following , taken from the Winnipeg
Tree Press , will be of Interest to club mem
bers

Such on array of talent has never been sent
