HOSPITALITY
YALE SCORED
BIG VICTORY
Won All Three Boat Races
From Harvard Yesterday
FIRST TIME ON RECORD
Victories Attributed to Super
iority of Yale's Stroke
Over Harvprd's
CREWS WERE EVENLY MATCHED
SO FAR AS PHYSICAL FORM WAS
CONCERNED. BUT YALE OUT
CLASSED THEM IN -ENDURANCE
GRKAT CROWD AT RACES.
New London, Conn., June 23. For
the first time on record Yale today tri
umphed over Harvard in a" three of
their boat races In the annual regatta
on the Thames. The wearers, of it he
blue won Jthe eight-Oared race by two
by three and one-half boat length and
the freshman eight-oared race by two
and a quarter length. In all three
race Harvard put up a memorable fight
and went down to defeat after "gallant
struggles in which her boy rowed out
the last ounce of their strength.
The official time follows:
Varsity Race Yale 20: 1 4-5; ar
vard 20:29 3-5.
Freshmen Race Yale,: 4S 1-4; ar-1
vard S:4S 3-5.
Varsity Four-Oared Race Yale 10:50
-25: Harvard 11: 10 1-5.
Yale's three victories are attributed
by experts to the; superiority of the
stroke taught Yale by John Kennedy
over that taught Harvard by her grad
uate coaches, ' ,
So far a physical form was con
cerned there was no choice between
the crew.' The greatest crowd that
.ever came to the old harbor town saw
Harvard go down to defeat. At .1:30
the big race was begun. Harvard .had
the best of the start and at the end of
theu first half mile wa leading Yale by
half a boat - length. ; Thi he held
over the second half mile, but the third
hah mile Harvard' efforts begun to
tell on the nerve of the crimson eight.
Little by little Yale' boat began to
creep up on the Harvard. Just be
fore the mile and a half flag the shells
were even and by the time the flag was
reached Yale had wrested the lead
away from her old rival and was never
headed.. - T

the fact that ine Government of the

mations from Informed sources a re
that the Czar will never see the peti
tion as the Russian Prime Minister will
not receive it for transmission. The
Russian position ts this:
"Nor wll it be possible for Russia to
receive any representations regarding
the Tvlschineff incident from a foreign
power. A Russian Government takes
the same position as" that long held by
the American Government, namely,
that itrefralns from interfering In any
