GOLF
HEARD ON LINKS Connecticut Golfers Preparing for Busy Season Art Fenn
 in the South.

On the heels of the national cham pionship announcements, out on Thurs day. the similar announcements are promised for this week from the Met ropolltan and New Jersey associations The Connecticut Golf association, which includes as well as the New Jersey body some NJ. c. A. clubs, made its plans on Saturday at the an nual meeting held fin New Haven. Dr c. H. Zimmerman of New Haven was elected president. and F. l.. Sands of Meriden secretary. The state tourna- ment will be on July 1i-4 at Wee Burn or Brooklown. The dates con fiict with the amateur championship at Englewood. but as the Connecticut field seldom includes any golfers of na- tionaI calSber. this should not make a material difference in the entries to either contest. On the principle that the state championships should be re garded as feeders for the national the conflict will still be regretted by many. As the tournament has now osciilated for four years between the New Ha- ven and Hartford links. it seems wise to % again to Wee Burn or Brook lawn. where the first two were held.

We'll Known Steeplechaser Finishe:
 His Career at City Park.
 New Orleans. Feb 20.-The steeple- chase yesterday at City Park. which was featured by the management. re- suited in three accidents in which two jockeys were injured and the horse Gandling broke his neck. Jockey Me Closkey. who rode Candllng. fell with his mount at the seventh jump. and how he escaped being killed is q mys- tery. When carried into the paddock it was found that he had escaped with a coIlsrbone broken. Jockey Boyle. who rode Malcom. suffered a Ike ac- cident when he went down at the sec ond jump. The race proved easy for Judge Nolan. one Of the outsiders in the betting. who wore down Ohio King in the last turn of the field and won handily from Ruth's Rattler.

BOTHNER AND TURK.

George Bothner, the lightweight champion catch-as-catch-ca wrestler, is determined to change his tactics en- tirely when he faces Abrahim Kazzi, the Turkish lightweight, on the mat at Grand Central Palace, New York, on March 6.
 As the latter must weigh in at 13S pounds at 9 o'clock that night, Bothner is confident that he can more than hold his own at any kind of grueling game that the Turk fancies, and he fairly proved that assertion in the recent con- test he took part in at Browns gym nasium with George Schnable, recog- nized heavyweight, who endeayored to force the clever professor to quit by the toughest of tactics. The contest while it lasted was the most exciting that could be imagined, and at it's close Schnable was nursing an injured leg caused by heavy fall through the ropes.

GOOD SIX HOUNDS.

Philadelphia, Feb 2O-Jimmy Walsh had the better of Jack Langdon in a six-round fight last night before the Washington Athletic club.
 It was one of the swiftest encoun- ters seen here in some time. and both boys showed a gratifying willingness to fight every second of the time they were in the ring. They were fairly well matched as to weight and reach. and both seemed to have admirable staying powers and ability to take pun ishment.
 Walsh was the aggressor and waded right in from the start, fighting with both hands like little demon. His furious straights to the jaw non- plussed Langdon in the middle of the fight and Jack went down In the third round. The bell saved him.
 Langdon, however. recovered his strength and held his own admirably. He was clearly outclassed. however. by the quicker and shiftier Walsh, who certainly earned the decision.
