POUGHKEEPSIE, N. T., June IS—
The college teams to-day entered
upon the Anal week of training for
the hi* Intercollegiate regatta nest
Saturday, with Cornett the favorite,
and with expectation* for a hotly con
tested race.
Tt Is admitted by those who have
watched all the crews that Coach
Courtney has. a* usual, rounded to*
gather an excellent bunch of oars
men at Ithaca, but there Is a feeling
that the Ithacans, although they may
be returned the winners, will have
to pull their arms off to finish ahead
of Coach Jhn Rice's eight front Co
lumbia.
Rio* has determined to make the
New Tork lads do their best. His

a good chance and does not Intend
to have that chance endangered by
an unconditioned oarsman. Saunders
was the biggest man In the Columbia
boats and the strongest, but he was
unable to Join the training camp
early, and to not in condition. He
was replaced by Murphy.
The (Inal arrangements for Satur
day's races have been announced.
The varsity fours will go to the mark

MILS ATHLETES
OUT FOR PRACTICE1
Councilmanic Ball Players Mustj(
Get Busy if They Are to 1
Beat Baltimore.
Now that the sue has returned from
Its recent extended visit to parts un- J
known. "Captain” Clyde KatclifTe
thinks It high time for the members of
his councilmanic baseball nine to In- |
crease their diamond prowess. i
Accordingly the edict has gone forth t
summoning the "might be” star* to
the Broad Street Park at 5:30 Monday
afternoon tor practice. How long this
practice will last Is not stated, it
will not be brief, however, for the j
long period of rain has caused throw
ing arms to grow stiff, fingers to grow ;
"buttery" and "batting eyes” to be
come dim. And all of this, unless j,
remedied means defeat at the hands ; (
of the councilmanic baseball players
of Baltimore, with whom the locals i <
are scheduled to cross bats on the for- i'
men's home grounds within the near i'
future.
Consequently Captain Ratcliffe is <
aaylng and repeating the word ”prac- ‘
tire,” and he speaks being captain of 1
the nine his is the voice of authority, i
Hereafter Mr. Ratcliffe and his 1
trusted band of athletes will assem- -
ble on the diamond at 5:30 o'clock
every Monday, Tuesday and Wednes
day evenings until further notice. It
may mean a cold dinner but of what
avail Is eating when there Is a match
game "away from home" to be con
sidered ?

Presbyterians Plan New Church
to Accommodate Growing
Sunday-School.
That there is no race suicide prev
alent In Presbyterian circles In the

tion of a new edifice to accommodate
the growing needs of Its Sunday
school, which is now crowded to over
flower. according to Rev. Dr. J. V.
Pair, pastor of the church. i
"We are very loyal Insurgents when ,
It comes to any such Issue like that," .
said Ur. Pair Monday.
Or. Pair stated that a new struc- j
ture would very' likely be erected ;
either on the present site or some ,
other Rite perhaps more centrally l
located in the West End. Definite ;
plans, he felt sure, would be outlined ;1
at a meeting of the congregation to be ,
held at an early date. The new build- ;
ing. he said, would be of neat simple
design of either brick or stone, but
would not be In any way elaborate.
Tentative plans for a new structure
were discussed Sunday at the congre
gational meeting at which two new ;
elders and four new deacons were j
elected as follows: William L. Wal- i

gets the Jeffries-Johnson muse. The
date—July 4—has been unchanged.
While Promoters Tex Rickard and
Jack Gleason refuse to tell definitely
the town In which the fight Is to be
held. It is generally understood from
what they say that Reno will be the
scene of battle.
Tex Rickard left here to-day for
Nevada, to confer with the men In the
mining camps who are pulling for the
fight In their towns. Jack Johnson's
training camp Is busy packing up,
preparatory to taking the first train
for Nevada when Rickard decides
whether it will be Reno, Goldfields or
Ely
Torn Flanagan, Johnson's new' man
ager, la ao sure that it will be Reno
: that he Is making active preparations
! for Jumping at once to that city.
I Flanagan made these preparations
after a long conference with Rickard,
; so fight fans have agreed that Reno
! will be selected.
Reno Ideal.
Reno would be the Ideal spot, now
that Nevada has been selected. It is
the closest to San Francisco, and In
direct line from the east, so that San
Franciscans may run over and see the
\ fight and return on the same day,
while Easterners can stop off on their
-way to the Golden Gate. Reno, too,
offers better facilities than either
■Goldgfields or Ely,
The Langford-Kaufman fight, which
was to have been pulled off In 'Frisco
Saturday, will also be shifted to
! Nevada and be fought on July 2 In
ithe same arena In which Jeffries and
Johnson will fight on July 4.
Reno people are so sure they will
get the fight that they have already
made preparations for building the
fight arena, according to wire advices
received here to-day.
It is probable they will use the
same plans and specifications that had
been prepared for the 'Frisco arena.
It will take but a few days to build
the fight pavl|lori, so no delay need
be expected on that score.
Johnson Is very anxious to know
Immediately, where he Is to fight so
that he can get accustomed to the
climate. It Is probable he will leave
San Francisco with his training staff
late this afternoon or to-night. At
first Johnson announced his Intention
of driving over to Reno In his racing
car, but Rtcjcard put his foot down
on that firmly Johnson was peeved
when told he had to go In a Pullman
but finally agreed. Tom Flanagan,
his manager, has wired for accommo
dations for the whole party at Reno,
indicating he Is sure the battle will be
fought at that point.
San KTan-lsco people are wild that
the fight Is to go away from here, but
thousands of them are preparing to
follow it to Reno. The railroads run
ning there are already making prep
arations for special trains to handle
the crowds.

JEFFRIES’ TRAINING CAMP.
ROWARDENNAN, CAL.. June 20 —
! Jim Jeffries and his entourage will
leave this little mountain some time
to-day—probably late this afternoon
—on a special car for Nevada. The
big fellow is simply awaiting word
from Rickard as to what town gets
the fight. He will leave here the
| moment he knows whether it is to bo
1 Reno. Ely or Goldfields.
Jeffries and his trainers are confl
i dent that the battle will take place
' in Reno. Jeffries wired to Rickard
I yesterday, tnsistlng that he be told
i where he was to fight. The answer
' was, "Walt a little while. It will be
1 either San Francisco or Reno.” Now
! that San Francisco has been elimlnat
I ed, Jeffries is sure the scrap will come
, off in Reno, and is preparing to go
! to that city the moment he gets posl
j tlve word from Rickard. The big
fellow personally assisted up his out
i door rig and packing his effects, and
: preparing for the Jump. Everything
I is now ready, and the Jeffries camp
| can be moved within an hour.
Jeffries Mum.
j If Jeffries is worried over the change
I at this late day, he does not show
I it. ofter his first outburst, at the
| eleventh hour action of Governor Gil
iett, Jeffries closed his mouth and
refused to say anything more about
the chief executive's move. If he is
afraid that the rarlfled air of the
Nevada mountains will affect him he
keeps this to himself, too. and goes
ahead with his training. Although all
his paraphernalia Is packed up, Jef
fries did his usual road work to-day.
and some little exercise that could be
taken without apparatus.
Sam Berger has secured a special

siding here, ready to get out. Moana

JAMES IS WELL WITHIN '
IIS BANKS ONCt MORE -
_'i
i
River Unaffected by Storm in j
These Parts Saturday
.Night. (
The James is pretty well within its 1
banks again, having receded nearly 1
ten feet since Saturday. The reading |
of the guage Monday morning, ao- !
cording to the government weather j <
bureau, was 4.8 feet and the water ’
was still falling rapidly.
Resumption of normal conditions i
has proved very acceptable to ware- 1!
house men and others along the water i
front affected by the flood last week, j
Cars are again running on regular i
schedule to Fulton.
The weather man says that clear 1
conditions are prevailing over the :
State and there is no prospect of an
other freshet for some time to come. 1
The river is reported to have been
practically unaffected by the fall of 1
rain accompanying the storm which i
prevailed in this section Saturday j i
night.
This storm was accompanied by ■ i
! considerable electricity some of which
played freaky tricks about the city, i
In one Instance a tree was twisted ;
! off near the ground In front of Mr.
Edward V. Valentine’s home. 109
North Sixth street. In another, much
consternation was caused when a
streak of lightning descended in close
proximity to the crowded house at
the Academy, shocking several boys;
on the outside. It is Bald.
