London, April 7.The sixty-third annual boat-

Cambridge took the lead from the start and

hauled. The Oxford men, struggled gamely to,
the end, but the work was so punishing that
several of them collapsed at the finish.
i, Seldom had the weather been so perfect for
the great English boatrace. The day was bright
and sunny, the wind was Very light, the water
waa smooth and there was very little choice
iu the stations. Enormous crowds thronged all
parts of the course. Oxford won the toss and
vchose the Surrey side. The two boats got away
-nicely.at 12:08 p.nj. Cambridge struck the water
first, palling thirty-eight strokes during the first
minute to Oxford's thirty-seven. The nose of
the Cambridge boat quickly showed in front,
and at the half-mile post Cambridge was half
a length to the good. The leaders were rowing
in lively style and with perfect finish to their
strokes. They' increased their lead to a full
length before Craven Steps, about three-quarters
of a mile from the start, were reached. There

CROWD HOOTED AT
LANDERS THE WINNER
Journal Special Service,
Milwaukee, April 7 All of the fights which
preceded the Sayers-Landers wind-up last night
Were better than the main event. Two knock
cuts preceded the Sayers- Landers contest, and
the wind-op contest was far from being a good
contest. The decision, giving Landers the de
cision over Sayers, was hissed and hooted by
the crowd, Sayers having apparently won the
fight by a constant play of hard blows to the
jaw and face. In the third round he 'had Lan
ders' nose bleeding, aud in the fifth put a hard
right to Landers' stomach, almost lifting that
worthy' oft* his feet. The last minute of the
fight" was. Landers', but that round was little
more than even. In the entire fight Landers did
-not land one blow to Sayers' face, and was so
low1
at, times that the crowd hissed him for
fonling.
The first fight of the night ended In short or
der. Gene McGovern went after Billy Irish
viciously, and finally, after a couple of knock
downs, put Irish out In the third with a left
to the jaw.
Kenney of Chicago and Kinney of Milwaukee
tried to settle their difference next. Some time
ago Kinney knocked Kenney down in a local
ii.- *ght and while Kenney was staggering about
the ring using his arms as a balancing pole to
try and keep himself on his feet one of his
flail-like blows put Kinney to the floor for the
count, wnile Kenney was still trying to keep
n his feet Last' night Kenney landed a
good blow, sending Kinney to his knees in the
first round. Then he let up. and if he had
Only kept his own for' the other five rounds
would have been given the decision. He stalled,
however, and lost the decision. Eddie Tancel
oit Chicago won his first professional fight, which
"was a lively exchange for the two rounds it
lasted. He knocked young Edenburg down in
the first, and in the second put him down for
two minutes with a left to the jaw and a right
to the stomach. Edenburg fought hard, how

Says New Football Code Will In

Pastime.
Journal Special Service.
Boston, April .7."In my opinion the gams of
football will be a rougher game during the com
ing season than it has been, because of the open
work that will prevail as a result of the new
rules," was the surprising declaration of CoacU
Reid of Harvard at the banquet of the Boston
Y. M. C. A. gymnasium.
"But the desire to win at any cost and ex
treme interest In any game occasions much of
the roughness in it If hockey became well
known It would be on of the first to go. Basket
ball would go the same way. and almost as
fast. There were free fights this year in bas
ketball, and there was none last year. That
is because it is exciting more and players de
sire more to win.
"If football finally, is given up every other
sport must go as it becomes popular to the de
gree that football has. Unless we get our
teams upon a different basis we are going to
lose our sports.
"Football is not perfect, and It never will be
perfect. If the gods themselves made a game
the American boy could spoil it if he cared to.
"Another thing that should be cultivated in
athletics is friendship between teams. Visiting
teams should be our guests, and we should regard
them as friends. That is not so now. Two in
stances occurred at Cambridge last fall to prove
this. Twice we invited visiting teams to be our
guests on a tallyho ride. Both teams refused
and we learned afterward that they did so.be
cause they were afraid we had planned to turn
them over."

he took advantage of several, and, with two

is a player of no mean abilKy."
HORACE FOGEL says that the reason why

This loss will not be felt, however, as the liJLfUil lLlLtlj MMBLlJO
man was to be used only as a utility pitcher and
outfielder. Pierce easily has the best of him
as a cool-headed twlrler, and outpitched bim In
several games last year, while MiddleboOk is
said to be fully as good.
Captain Porter is sifting out the candidates
and practically has the line-up for the first
game determined upon. Pierce will pitch, per
haps giving Middlebrook a chance in the last
innings, and it IB confidently expected that a
complete and unbroken list of victories will then
be entered upon. Blooming Prairie has one of
the fastest high-school teams in the state and
will give the locals a good chance to show their
true form.
Harrison Is getting into form nicely, and his
arm is recovering from the effects of last year's
strain. He will be ablt to go into the box early
in the season. Harrison pitched fifteen innings
against Blooming Prairie last year and won his

THREE IN SALOON BRAWL
Louisville, Ky., April 7.It has become known
that Marvin Hart guve three big fellows from
the "Point," a river section of Louisville, their
trimmings good and proper Monday night John
SeitVs saloon, 801 East Market street. The
triple knockout occurred in three seconds. It
was the first time Hart had been in action since
he lost the decision to Tommy Burns at Los
Angeles. It was by reason of Hart's misfor
tune in that engagement that bis encounter with
a man named. "Haywagon," "Granny" Taylor
and Jimmy Sllnson occurred. They made light
of Hart's fistic ability.
A pistol almost figured in the case, and a
motion to draw the weapon brought on the
fight. The man who had the gun received a
wallop at the butt of the ear that almost caused
him -to go thru the floors. One. of the men Hart
pushed down, the other he gave a light jolt. All
of the men^ begged for mercy, and when they
were told to leave the saloon one of them
threatened to kill Hart.

relay team has been disqualified and the open
felay race of the new Illinois athletic club's
charity meet awarded to the University of Wis
consin. This decision was announced yesterday
by Frederick W. Stone, who refereed the meet.
The grounds for the disqualification was the
fact that Tommy Taylor, who ran the first relay
for the maroons, ran inside the track while round
one of the turns. Parsons, the first runner of
the badgers, took an early lead, but was Dassed
by Taylor, and the Chieago man led by Several

Chicago, April 7.As a result of the wirV
drawal of Wisconsin from football relation*
with Michigan, Minnesota and Chicago, follow
ing so closely that of Northwestern, it is pos
sible that either Minnesota or an eastern col
lege 'tortll be placed upon the maroon schedule
next fall.
According' to prominent members of' the Chi
cago faculty, it is unlikely that Chicago will
accept the Wisconsin suggestion, discussion of
which will probably occur at the meetings of
the faculty and senate today. A contract has
already been signed with Michigan for a gam*
at Ann Arbor. Even tho the season is shortened
to live games. It is felt thst at least two big
games can be taken on. Minnesota has tor
years been trying to secure a game with tb*
Midway school, and since the announcement of
Northwestern's withdrawal, has renewed its ef-"
forts with vigor, having made several proposi
tions. Whether the gophers will be taken on or
not is an open question.
Maroon enthusiasts see a chance even for a a
eastern game next season. While no steps hav*
as yet been taken, they believe there is a
possibility of negotiations being opened np look
ing toward the long hoped-for contest between
the east and west. Pennsylvania, West Point,
Amherst and Brown are suggested as the most
likely schools to consider an offer from Chi
cago.
The action of the Wisconsin faculty 'was char
acterized as a dog in the manger policy by
Registrar T. W. Goodsneed today.
"If Wisconsin can't play it doesn't want any
one else to play," he said. "I hope Cbicag*
won't accept Its suggestion. And if for any
reason Chicago should abolish the game in this
fashion' 1 hope the boys will refuse to taks
part in any athleticsthat if they cannot havs
the greatest game of them ail. they will not
support baseball, track or any other sport."
Dr E. B. Hurlbert, dean of the divinity
school and president of the athletic board, was
equally emphatic in his stand.
