YALE ALUMNI UNIVERSITY BALL GAMES, Seores of Contests of the Last Two Weeks. The University nine met Holy Cross at Springfield, Wednesday, June 2, and won in a loosely played game by the score of li to 5. Murphy caught for Yale for the first time this year and Fearey was in the box for the first time since the acci- dent to his hand several weeks ago. The work of both men was excellent consid- ering their lack of practice. Fearey was a little wild and was unable to use his hand easily in batting. The best work for Yale was done by Letton and Farnham at the bat and Fincke in the field. The work of Holy Cross was uncertain in the field and weak at the bat. They were clearly outplayed.

The University nine defeated the Edge- wood team at the Field, Monday, May 31, by the score of 22 to to 3. Yale batted very hard and Edgewood’s fielding was very loose and uncertain. Yale’s fielding game was very clean with one or two exceptions, partially excusable, owing to the slippery condition of the diamond. Hamlin held down his opponents pretty well, their hits being never for more than one base.

Her riders took first place in every event, four seconds and one third. Yale won second place and Pennsylvania third. The summary is as follows: Quarter mile—Won by W. T. Fearing of Columbia; I. A. Powell of Columbia, second; W. M. McCutcheon, Yale 1900, third. Time, 323-5 seconds. One mile—Won by Ray Dawson, Co- lumbia; I. A: Powell, Columbia, sec- ond, and J. I. Butler, Yale ’97 S., third.

Hill, Jr., ’97%. er Strength Record Broken. In a trial at the Gynasium Thursday afternoon, June 3, Charles Chadwick, 97, succeeded in breaking all previous records in the college strength test with a remarkable total of 2135 kilo- grams. This is far ahead of any prev- ious score. Early in April Mr. Chad- wick made his first trial and sur- passed Lovering of Harvard, the form- er record-holder, by a small margin. A week later Chadwick’s.score was beaten by C. S. Verrill, ’998., with a total of 1676 kilograms, which has stood as record until Chadwick’s fre- cent trial. The number of times a man is able to chin himself and dip between’ the parallel hars, is used as hasis of the test for strength of chest and upper arms. Considering his weight, 1961-2 pounds, Chadwick’s record of thirty chins and twenty-five dips, is remarka- ble. The way in which Chadwick, Ver- rill and Lovering differ in the distri- bution of their strength is shown by the following comparison: Streneth of_legs......... 954 803 665 Strength of back........ 459 349 410 Streneth of right grip..118 101 85 Strength of left grip....113 91 80 Strength of chest and DCT BITS. 3. 4a dimes ee a 491 232 883 Totals 9135 . 1676. 1625 —_——___++e—__—_—_- Charles F.

The Panorama of Shifting Crews at Cornell. [Correspondence of the Weekly.] Ithaca, June 5. While the first University crew was on its way back to the piers, recently, the boat struck a sunken pine tree in the shallows at the head of the Lake and the sharp end of a broken branch cut a hole three feet long through the paper bottom. As the boat filled with water it sank amidships under the weight of the men, the ends, filled with air, rose above the surface and the boat broke in two. The water of the lake is still very cold, but the launch reached the crew before anyone was in distress. The boat was the one in which the crew won at Poughkeepsie last year and in which the second crew defeated Annap- olis three weeks ago. It was sawed into nine sections and each man carried off the part which he occupied during the Poughkeepsie race. A new paper boat from Waters had arived the same day, so there was no interruption of the practice the next day. The rebuilding of the aluminum boat has been accom- plished successfully and the new cedar boat will be put in the water to-day. There is no probability, therefore, that the five crews will lack boats. The crew that was in the boat when it was wrecked contained four men from the third crew, Bentley, Sweet- land, Crawford and Johnston, who dis- place Briggs, Spillman, Ludlam and Moore. The last named man is absent for two weeks at the civil engineering camp at Otisco Lake. The Faculty refused to excuse him from the expedi- tion and it is felt that it will hardly be possible for him to regain form after his return sufficient to warrant giving him his place in the boat again. He was one of the strongest and most reliable men in the crew. It had been expected that four men would be changed, but when, the next day, the crews were shifted still more, so that it was no longer possible to name them except by the men who held the tiller ropes, the uncertain con- dition of the crews was realized to its full extent. Fisher’s boat contained the following men, arranged in this or- der, beginning with stroke: Bentley, Savage, Carter, Odell, King, Wake- man, Bailey and Raymond. Colson’s boat was manned, beginning again with stroke, by Johnston, Tatum, Freeborn, Sweetland, Crawford,. Lueder, Chris- well, Stamford. Pate’s boat had Briggs for stroke, and Dalzell, Fuller, Ludlam, Oddie, Crum, Jeffers and Spillman in the order named. Fisher’s crew rowed in good form and beat Colson’s boat half a length. On successive days after this stilloth- er combinations of men were tried in the poats. Finally, the ’99 crew was allowed to get together again and was sent against a crew stroked by Bentley, with the following men behind him: Savage, Spillman, Tatum, Freeborn, Ludlam, Chriswell, Crum. The so-called Second Crew beat them out at least ten lengths in three miles, and the first Freshman crew, which entered the race a mile from the start, finished seven lengths ahead of the disheartened vete- rans. It seems as if all the combinations possible have been tried, and the im- pression is becoming general that it will be necessary to send last year’s Freshman crew to Poughkeepsie to represent the University in June. Whatever the cause, the deterioration of the Poughkeepsie crew has been marked and consistent, and even those who have had most faith in them have been forced to admit that it was useless to wait longer for improvement. On Tuesday of this week the expected weeding-out occurred. All of last year’s University crew, except one, were in- formed that if they desired to appear at the boathouse and help make up a pacing crew they would be welcome, but that they need no longer cherish ambitions of rowing at Poughkeepsie. The exception is Savage. Bentley is also retained and Colson will hold the tiller-ropes. Four crews have been on the lake this week. The first Freshman crew is showing improvement and the Annapo- lis crew, the University crew now, con- tinues to improve. No. one is allowed in the launch and no times are an- nounced. The crew can undoubtedly row a great race for three miles, but much doubt is felt among those who know most about the crews whether a crew averaging only 161 pounds can hold their speed on the last mile. The general feeling is one of regret that it took second from scratch. was necessary to discard the older and heavier men. While every one expects the crew to make a good showing, the chances of winning the race are felt to be not so good by many points as they were a month ago.

The Yale Crew. It is as well to confess that the New London letter to the Weekly, written for this week, was lost in transit to the printers in some inexplicable way. In the absence of the fuller reports of that letter, it is possible to say that the crew is in good order, rowing in the same order as hitherto, and getting as much practice on the Thames as bad weather will permit. The aim is now to improv- the catch, which, it is now generally ad- mitted, is not vicious enough.
