Steingut tips the scales at about l25
pounds and prides himself on being fast
runner. Wagner weighs $50 pounds, and
although an expert hoater can't swim
more than ten yards without taking rest
Steingut was boasting about his swimming
achievements several nights ago when,
after some whispering between the Hon.
Phil Wissig and Wagner, Wagner said:

near to Plymouth Rock. The visiting
players come as the guests, while in this
country, Of the United States Golf Asso-
citation. which will have the aid Of the local
associations in the different sections to be
visited. As the Oxford and Cambridge
men have to be back by the middle of Sep
tember, and as they do not wish to give
up all their time to golf, it has been deemed
best to limit the matches to few of the
representative clubs. In all, East and
West. the visitors will be asked to splay
ia ten matches between Aug. 10 md Sept. 70,
but those who do not sail for home after
the last match will go to- Manchester. Vt,
