...Worcester High School crew defeated the Freshman crew on Lake Quinsigamond yesterday by a length and a quarter, in 8 min., 15s. The Freshmen got the start, but lost two lengths and were unable to make it up at the finish...
...University nine defeated Cornell yesterday in an easy game by the score of 11 to 1. The raw weather and Harvard's lead established at the very start made the game uninteresting. The team showed up well in batting, making fourteen hits and but two men striking out. The one bunt attempted was successful. The base running was at times brilliant, the double steal with runners on first and third being worked successfully; and again it was stupid when men were caught off first and second bases. In the field the team made four errors, two of which were wild...
...very first race proved somewhat of a surprise. Both Long and Boardman of Yale had been regarded as dangerous, but Rust, who had the pole, jumped to the lead at the start and, although he was hard pressed at times, was never once headed, and finished first in 50 4-5 seconds.

Boardman was a yard further behind, with Long and Fry a little further...

The Weld crew gradually lowered their stroke to a long, hard 32, while Annapolis held to a short, killing 38 without being able to make any material gain...
...next summer along the New England coast. The fleet will rendezvous at Marblehead on August 4 and will sail eastward to Isleboro, Me., stopping at Portland and other principal places along the coast. Plans were also discussed for the cruise south of Cape Cod, but the time of the start and other details will be arranged later. It was voted to hold club races for a challenge cup off Marblehead probably on June 20. Boats of thirty feet and under will be allowed to enter...
