Crimson Wipes Out Sting of
Double Victory of Yale in
Preliminary Races at
New London.
Mow London. Conn., June 23.
I.eadine from the initial din of their
Mrs Harvard's varsity crew de-1
f-ated Yale in a spectacular four-;
mile race of the 52d intervarsity re-1
patta today hy nearly six lengths, 1
thin completely wiping out the sting:
of the double victory of their hluc
rivals in the two preliminary races, j
Yale Crew Exhausted.
Rowing in magnificent form from
the start of the Ioiir upstream battle
the oarsmen coached by Bill Haines
early demonstrated their superiority i
loth in blade work and stamina and :
.-wept across between the finish flails ,
23 minutes and 11 seconds after the
fctartinft signal, while tlfir ancient !
rivals trailed in ,1 seconds later in
a state of physical exhaustion.
C. C Peters of Seattle, the Yale ,
stroke and captain, who. it is re
ported still was suffering from tli" '
ettccts of a recent illness, collapsed
iii the last eighth mile and thrice
dropped his oar. Bow B. G. Dris
coll also went down at the finish,
while the remainder of the cisht had
difficulty in sitting erect.
The crimson crowds were cele-
jting the conquest in nart as a vin-
' cation of the American rowing
sys'em. as opposed bv the English
methods adopted hy Yal".
Victory a surprise.
The victory of the Harvard ei-?t
came as more or less of a surprise,
for Yale was a favorite at odds of 10
to 7 in the little betting that was
done. This was partly due to the re
ported excellent time trial made by
the blue and the staunch faith of the
Hue contingent that Guv Nickalls,
the English coach, had developed a
combination that would surely win.-
Tonight the crimson cohorts are
Collectively singing the praises of
their American coach, the Harvard
crew, and particularly Stroke K.
Jcnney, the lightest oarsman who
ever stroked a Harvard crew over
the four-mile course.

TRUCK DEALERS
DISCUSS PLANS
FOR TRADE TOUR
H. C. Ridgway Tells of Suc
cessful Tours Conducted
In Other Sections
Of West.
Numerous representatives of the
truck industry gathered Friday eve
ning at the Hotel Fontenelle to dis
cuss a truck trade tour to be staged
in the interest of "motorizing the
farm." H. C. Ridgway, who has
successfully organized and pro
moted 16 truck trade tours for one of
the largest tire manufacturers in the
United States, was the host and had
at his command a startling accu
mulation of facts regarding the
progress of the motor truck.
Mr. Ridgway came here to offer
his assistance and co-operation in
I romoting a 300 to 35t!-mile tour
within the Omaha trading radius.
As evidence of the good demonstra
tions are effecting, Mr. Ridgway ex
hibited a film showing numerous
convincing demonstrations made
during a recent tour through the
central west.
These demonstrations have proved
beyond a doubt that a gigantic sav
ing of time, money, produce and
iabor can be accomplished through
the use of the modern motor trucl.
Actual sales statistics have provd
that farmers arc eager to include
the motor truck with their farm
equipage upon being convinced by
concrete demonstrations that the
truck will do the many things which
manufacturers claim for it.

''By the fruits ye shall know
them," was apropos of Omaha's
markets yesterday, for counters
were piled high with the luscious
fruits of trees, shrubs and vines, all
((ualified to make summer appetites
strong, no matter what the weather
may have done to them.
Plums were plentiful yesterday

hbout 25 cents a doen, and the
blue ones cost about 90 cents a box.
Peaches are better now than they
have been, and are lower in price,
being 50 cents a basket.
Cherries were offered in large
quantities for the first time yester
day. Home-grown cherries are 20
cents a box. The large black ones
from California ate 50 cents a
pound. Strawberries are better than
they have been, and are selling at
about 30 cents a box. Their season
is about over. Loganberries are now
offered in good numbers, at about
30 cents a box.
Watermelons are cheaper than

cents a dozen. Lemons sell at about
30 cents a dozen, and grape fruit up

The vegetables offered yesterday
i were, excellent in quality and as
