JLOCALS AND PHILADELPHIANS LEAD .tolasabla and Harvard Pat t"p Fierce Seek and Neck Strangle, f latfrp Winning kr PotI Feet. NEW YORK, May 30. Thousand! of spec tator! witnessed the races of the Harlem tBegatta association, held on the one-rtiile speedway course, Harlem river, today. The 'water was fin (air condition ail day, al though the IVInd was a little too strong for the shells. 'The honors were evenly dl . iTlded among the local and Philadelphia dubs. Three crews contested In the senior .algbts, Columbia, New York Athletic and the Harlem club of New York. The New 'York Athletle club got the better of the .tart, but had not gone an eighth before 4elng overhauled by Columbia and Harlem. Then came one of the prettiest elght-oared 'races ever seen on the river between Co lumbia and Harlem crews. It was a neck-and-neck struggle to the end, the Harlcms Iwlnnlng by four feet, breaking all records, the time being 1:34. In the final heat of the Junior sculls, Hunt 'bf the Metropolitan Rowing club kept the ilead for a half, but wore himself out and .finished third. A. Fraser of Columbia uni versity got the lead over Hunt and won In :02. Easy for Hcholes. ' t The association single event proved ap parently easy for Louis Scholes of Toronto, (who bad no trouble to get a lead a few tfeet after the start and was never headed. In the senior single race, the star event of the day, C. 8. Tltua of Union, N. Y., got away before the others at the start. Ju venal, the Pblladelpbian, fell back after the quarter and was outclassed. Bond, another Philadelphlan, was soon back with Juvenal. At the half Tltua had a lead of a length, but after the half seemed to be up to bla limit, while Bcholes, the Canadian, had plenty of grit left and gradually closed up. At the three-quarters they were on even terms and Scholea drew away and won by a length and a half In 6:17. Budre, the Bo hemian sculler, was a close third. , All tho experts went wrong on the final heat of the Junior double sculls. The Etaten Island crew, !. T. Johnson and Har old Scrymser, which was supposed to be the poorest of tbs lot, won In 6:2T In a heart-breaking finish. Vespers ot Philadel phia were second. ;. In the Junior quadruple sculls the crews were on even terms to the Inst, when the Barge club's crew of Philadelphia gradu ally drew away, winning by two lengths from . the Nassau crew of New York In 6:10. Bohemians In Lead. Another easy race was In the Junior four oared gigs. The Bohemlsn crew of New York took a comfortable lead and won by four lengths. In 6:29. Clary ot the Nassau ,club and Butler of Harlem, were con testants In the Intermediate single race. Clary had more strength and seemed In bet ter condition, and he won by a length In 6:52. Juvenal and Lock wood of the Vesper "club, Philadelphia, bad a practical walkover In the senior double race. No ,tlnie waa taken. ' The nava! reserve race proved one of the best contests ot the day. The two crews, which were the New York naval reserve, fought desperately, but could not get away from ach other. Within an eighth of the finish, Division No. 2 crew had enough left in hem to spurt and won by a small margin in 6:32. . The final beat of the Junior eight wai its spectacular contest of the day's sport. Four crews faced the starter Atlanta, New York Athletic club and two crews from Columbia university. The crews kept well bunched for nearly half the distance, when the New York Athletic club got a alight lead, with the .Atlantas second and the Columbia crews third and fourth, respect ively. The positions remained unchanged until the seven-eighths. New Yorks then Increased their lead slightly and won by half a length In 4:32H. The Atlantas were beaten out a trifle by the Columbia Fresh men. The race was such a fierce contest that all previous Harlem records were broken. In senior four-oared shells the Vespers bad a pleaaure row, winning as they pleased . from the Atlanta of New York In 4:56. HARVARD TAKES THE LEAD twoalldea nineteen Men for Inter- collegiate Meet with Yale ' Only One Behind. NEW YORK, May SO.-The showing made by the athletlo collegians In the prelimin ary heata and trials in the track and field conteata which took place at Berkley oval today gives promise that aome unuaual'y clever performancea will be seen when the semi-final and finals of the Intercollegiate championships are being decided tomorrow. Aa waa expected, Harvard and Yale out ranked all the other colleges In the number of men who qualified from each.- Harvard baa nineteen and Yale eighteen on the list of eligible for the finals tomorrow, and the next In point of numbers la Princeton, with eight. California has seven, Penn sylvania five, Cornell four. Amherst three, Columbia. Georgetown and Syracuse two each, and Rutgers and Williams one each. Harvard la the favorite In what little betting haa been done ao far, but If the froteat made bv Yale nsralnat RKW th. Harvard sprinter, who won his trials In the sprints today rather easily, should be sus tained. Tale would gain a decided advant age, aa Harvard would loaa either eight or ten points. Arthur DufTey of Georgetown and Bcheck won their Individual heata in the loo-yard dash In even time. Hut If tho track re mains In good condition and there la an abaence of wind, either or both will ennnl and probably break the existing record of 0:00 4-6. In the high and low hurdle events Willis of Harvard and Clano of Yale aeem to b on even terms, and none of thoae who contested in the :20-yard daah today can hope to defeat Bcheck In the final for that vent. Rust of Harvard should have no difficulty In winning the auarter-mlla run and Kane of Yale seems to have the half mile honors at his disposal, gome disappointment waa felt at the Showing made by A. li. Plaw of California In the weights events. He failed to qualify In the shot put, his best effort being 40 feet Inches. LeWltt of Princeton tied for fourth place In the Hat of five who qualified with a put of 41 feet tnchea. IeVltt dis tinguished himself In the sixteen-pound bammer throw by breaking all prsvloua Intercollegiate records, as he threw ths missile lo4 feet 10 Inches. Plaw was his nearest opponent, with 144 feet 1 Inches. The defeat of the California n. while not generally unexpected, aurprlsed a good many, aa no one thought that DeWItt would beat him by a margin of over-twenty feet. PENN BEATS NEW YORKERS Takes Jaalar 'Varalty Beat Raeee from CoIaaaBla. and Cor- ncll Teams. VHTLADELPHI A. Mar SO.-The Univer sity of Pennaylvania won the Junior 'var alty boat race from Columbia and Cornell n the national oouree on the Hrhuylklll river In Falrmount park this afternoon. Columbia was two lengths behind Pennayl vania at the finish and Cornell was five lengths to the rear of Columbia. The course waa one and a half miles straight away and Pennsylvania's time waa :4a. Considering the conditions the race was a good one. A strong wind blew directly up the course, which made the avatar rhotipy. i Large crowds lined both shores and there raa much entnuhLsm over ine noma crew tarrying Its colors to victory. Pennsyl vania had the weat or inalde position, with Columbia next and Cornell on the outside, .The start was a good one, Cornell catch ing the water first. Columbia followed an Instant later. TUe Ithaca-os took the lead and held It for J yards, when Columbia overhauled them and shot ahead. Pennsylvania was slow In fretting Into lis swltia. but when It Anally settled down the red and blue shell moved swiftly and at the quarter-mile mark forged to the front. From there to the finish the Quakers were never headed. Cornell was steadily rsil.114 behind. Half-way down the courne, In an etTort to catch Columbia, It got Into rough water and was out of the content. A quar ter of a mile from the finish Columbia made a grand spurt, but Pennsylvania answered the call of Its coxswain to "bit er up" and the rivals were held at a safe distance down to the finish. HANDICAP AGAINST BOGEY Coaatry C'lnb Women Have a Lelserely Toar of the Fall Conrae. Eight women did their best to down Colonel Bogey and surpass each other In a handicap golf tournament over eighteen noles, match play, against Bogey, at the Country club Friday afternoon, and Mrs. Arthur Gulou came nearer succeeding, than any of the rest, winning first prise. She was only 6 down to the austere colonel, while Mrs. Remlnaton. who was second, was 7 down, and Mra. Bprague was 8 down. Play commenced earl In the afternoon and 'the women pursued a leisurely course around the long elghteen-hole course. Handicaps ranged from thirty-six to forty two strokes, appropriately distributed over the Journey. The scores of the players, with their handicaps In strokes, follow: Mrs. Gulou (3. 6 down.

Haskell will this afternoon battle for first place In the final round of the tennis tournev at the Field club, having on Friday defeated In the semi-finals their respective opponents, O. J. Martin and H. Iioorly. All four men worked their way to the semi-finals from the first round, which was played last Wednesday, their being sixteen entries. Collett took two straight sets from Martin by 6-3. 6-2, snd Haskell did the same with Doorly by 6-2. 6-3. Neither match was In any particular one-sided, however, as play was tierce all the time and there were many deuce games ail through. Play was largely of the volloylng sort, and this made the matches still more Interesting to the large crowd of spectator present. The tourney has excited unusual attention from the start, and the finals of today will be one of the features of chief Interest In the athletic line at the annual opening of the FleM club. Thla was a handicap tournev. and all four of the men left in the semi-finals car ried handicaps of IS. Thus all were on a level, and yesterday afternoon's matches were played with the handicaps still In force. Today, however, Collett and Haskell will drop them and play from scratch, be ginning at 3:30. The finals will be the best three out of five sets. Two ball gamea and a golf tournament, together with bowling on the new alleys, will be other athletlo, features of today's opening. Then In the evening there will be a dance, preceded by dinner and n re ception In the afternoon In the new dancing pavilion. An Immense crowd Is expected to attend the opening. AMERICANSTAKE BACK SEAT Yankees Depressed by English Cli mate I.oae Vim tn Polo Contests. LONDON. May 20 Th. tinnaa the Americans, which were raised to such a high pitch during the first few preliminary gamea Dlaved bv Cantaln Foxhnll r,-''- polo team are likely to be dashed tomorrow, as the opinion, practically of all the polo experts, both English and American, who nave wmi-iieu ine practice is mat tne Eng lish team la aure to win two out of three matches and retain the American challenge cup. It Is doubtful If playing at the top of their form the Americans will be able to aereat ine strong combination which the English players have brought together, but In addition tn this fact there la not a mom. ber of the American team who Is playing In hla best form, and the American ponies ss well as the men seem to feel the effects of thla climate. When the Americana ber an nlnvfne? here they ahowed a daah and vim which thor oughly alarmed the Englishmen and the tear was ireeiy expreased in the polo pa vilions at Hurllnaham and Ranclnrh tUi the "Yanks," aa the Americans ere In variably called, would win. The hettlno- at that time alao favored the Americans, but this is all changed and the Englishmen are very confident. The betting tonight ranges Iran i IB t to o to i on tne English team. One great disadvantage which both the American team and the English selection committee had to contend with was the vile weather, which left th Americans short of practice and prevented the Eng lish players from being selected at an earlier date. FIELD DAY AT DEAF SCHOOL Tng-of-War sal Many Other Athletlo Gnmes Make Eseltlag ' Program. The fifth annual field dav of h N't. braaka School for the Deaf was a quiet auair, mougn none tne less interesting on that account.

One of the most interesting contsts waa the tug-of-war be tween the atudents and the officers of the school. The former won and succeeded In arawing their superiors over the ground at a 2:40 gait. The obstacle race brought forth storma of applause In the wav of hand clannlna and throwing up of hats, and was one ot me inuvi exuiiing numwri on tne pro gram.

WIN IN THE FIRST INNING Stock Yards Janlora Get Mne Bans OS Slnggera to Beila With. Three hundred people witnessed one of the fasten! and mont Interesting games seen In South Omaha this season between the I'nlon Stockyards Juniors and the South Side Rluggers. Reuben, for the Slug gers, lost the game for his team In the first Inning by giving five bases snd three hits and allowing the stockyards bovs nine runs. Lynch went In and proved a puxxler for the stockysrds boys, who were only able to make three hits off his delivery. After the first inning the Sluggers played a fast game. The stockyards kids were In the game all the time and certainly de serve credit for defeating one of the fast est amateur teams In Omaha. Adams, for the stockyards boys, pitched fine ball, striking out ten men. The feature of the game was the fielding by the yards boys. A questionable decision In the ninth In ning of the umpire drew the game to a close, the Sluggers refusing to play longer. Score: Stockysrds 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9 5 3 Sluggers 0 2 0 1 0 4 0 1 S 7 5 Batteries: Juniors, Adams and Miller; Sluggers, Reuben, Lynch and Brown. Struck out: By Adams, 10; by Lynch, 4.

OMAHA, May 30 To the Sporting Editor of The Bee: With full expectation of a victory and a square deal, the South Side Sluggers went down to South Omaha to day to play the lads who are advertising the stock yards. Reuben, who started to f'ltch for the Sluggers had an off day and t was owing to his wlldness that the Stock Yards Kids made all their runs. After thla fatal Inning their attempts to solve Lynch's curves were futile. The Sluggers tried hard to overcome the big lead of their opponents and for eight In nings played a hard uphill game. In the ninth they came In with the acore 9 to 8 In favor of the Kids. Casey waa the first man up and sent one down to Adams, twirler for the Kids, who. In his effort to field the ball, threw wildly to first. Hre Is where the trouble all began. The umpire called the runner out, claiming he had turned the wrong way. Mr. Browne, cap tain of the Sluggers, a ball player and a gentleman, protested, and when the umpire refused to change his decision Captain Browne called his men off the field. In order that we may let the fans know what sort of stuff the Sluggers are made of, and to show that there are no hard feelings, we again challenge the Stock Yards Kids for another gume, to be played for $25 a side, or more, the money to be put up before the game Is called.

Reports from other points were none too favorable this morning, and as today was a legal holiday and besides that the close of the week being at hand, buyers did no take hold with much life and a alow, weak market resulted. The big end ot tne receipts mis morning consisted of beef steers, and the quality of the offerings was fully as good as usual. The tendency, tnougn, was to pouna ine market wherever possible, and as a general thing prices were Just about a dime lower than yesterday. Some sales were made that were, perhaps not that much lower, but on the other hand there were other sales that were more than 10c lower. In cluded In the receipts was one bunch of cattle that was pronounced aa good as anything that haa been here this year. The cow maraet was a mo aiow, wiin tne tendency of Drlces downward. Packers seemed to be rather Indifferent buyers, but still, as there were comparatively few cows In the yards, the better grades did not show so much change from yesterday. The common, and especially the grassy cows, were neglected and a little lowes than yesterday. There were few bulls, veal calves and stags, and they sold without much change In price where the quality was good. StocKera ana ieeaers were aioo iturco, out the demand was also limited, as specula tors were not expecting many more buyers on the market this week. There was. of course, an outlet for good atuff, but com mon kinds were rather hard to dispose of. Representative sales: i,yx ,iiv a,auu 2.148 10.191 41 2.646 11.691 1.

SITUATION IS BRIGHTER raTorable Tacton Outweigh Depressing Element and Retail Trade Enlivens. AGRICULTURAL SECTIONS PROSPEROUS Large Yield of Wheat and Hlah rrlces of Corn ilve Liberal F.arnlnas to Farmers and Other Industries Will Share Good Fortone. NEW YORK, May SO. R. G. Pun l Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Ease In the money market last week, favorable crop prospects and confidence abroad are the encouraging factors which outweigh the disturbing elements of labor conflicts and unseasonable weather for re tall trade at many points. Effects of the depressing Influences are less keenly felt because they are believed to be only temporary, and confidence Is ex pressed thut with the resumption of work and normal temperature there will be a return to the liberal distribution ot mer chandise. Despite the short-corn crop last year the large yield of wheat and high prices for both resulted In the greatest value for tho two crops ever recorded, which means that the agricultural sections ara prosperous and other Industries .must share the good fortune by Increased sales of products. Collections are prompt as a rule, and pay ments through the principal clearing houses are well maintained. Notwith standing diminished speculation there was an Increase of 1.2 per cent at New York compared with lost year's exchanges. Returns aa to transportation show that losses In grain movement are being more than made up elsewhere, railway earnlnss thus far reported for May showing a gain of 6.5 per cent over last year and 18 nep cent over 19n0. Efforts to place contracts for inn.noo tons of pig Iron, deliverable In the second quar ter of 193, Indicate the confidence of the lending consumer as to the future of this Industry. There Is no cessation of activity at the mills, and finished products nre for wsrded to Importunate consumers as rapidly as possible. No Improvement Is reported at New Eng land boot and shoe centers, where the shops are still running onlv about half time. There Is a little more activity In, the Sradea that declined last week, but no In Icatlon of recovery In prices, and other varieties lenu nownward. Salesmen are booking a smaller percentage of orders at the south than Is usual at this season. Local retail trade has been more active, but Jobbing business continues slow. Re cent advances In leather are maintained, wdth belting butts freely purchnFed. Im ported hldea are scarce and strong, but domestic packed hldea are more quiet. Stocks of textile fabrics are not accumu mtlng. although the markets are extremely quiet. Domestic Jobbing trade Is fairly satisfactory, but exports of cotton good's small. Print cloths are dull and unchanged, with the situation unsettled as to new prints for the fall. Clothing manufactur ers are purchasing woolen goods In mod erstlon only, and larger deliveries by the leading; company Increases the disposition toward conservatism. Prospects are bright for a large yield of cotton. Dispatches have been received from correspondents of R. O. Dun A Co. located In all parts of the, cotton belt, and the returns are unanimously encouraging Grain quotations made a decided advance early In the week, which was not easily explained except on the basis of light sup plies In Bight. This element was not new. however receipts having decreased very materially for many weeks In comparison with Inst year's estimate. Subsequently the gain was lost in option trading al though cash corn was flrmlv held. Failures for the week numbered 194 In the Cntted States, 148 last year, and 20 in Canada, against 27 a year ago.
