Prof. Crane. Of the Seattle Athletic Club.
is a great atnirer of lacrosse, and hopes
TO see /. taken up in Seattle. Tacoma and
Portland. He thinks that Ii would not take
long to work the clubs up TO the point OF
giving the Victoria and Vancouver teams
some hot games. The distances between
the British Columbia and Sound cities is
not great. and the expenses OF trips to
"a a barrier to frequent games. If the

a league could be formed.
