GOLF rs COSMOPOLITAN.
French Take Up the Game and Turn
Ont Good Players.

A fact which enforces the lesson that
golf to-day has become cosmopolitan is
the holding of the professional tournament
at Nice, says the London Field. Here we
have had Braid, Taylor. and Vardon
matched with three French professionals,
all Of them the product Of Biarritz golf.
The fact that Massey. Gassiat. and Bonn
boudiac have been able to hold their own
sngle-handed against the best three pro-
fessionals that the game has yet produced
on this side is proof assuredly Of the as
similative virtues of the French players,
IL OF no other sterner qualities Our home
professionals speak in the highest terms
of praise OF the style OF game which the
French professionals play. IL is. per-
haps not SO robust and enduring in its
quality Of staying power but IT is clean
and straight style Of play. 1t has tho
essence and the body OF a good game: all
that il needs is the more varied trials of
experience. What the Frenchmeu show
when cOntrasted with our own best pro-
fessiOnals is a certain defect OF finish
reminiscent OF the amateur. They have
besides not SO many resourceful shots lin
their lockers" as Braid, Taylor, and Var
don have-shots which mean the impart-
ing of the willful slice and pull. the heavy
cut, and the fearless capacity TO take
long risks at critical points in the for
tunes OF n hole. Such tournaments as
these are good for the players on both
sides

SYRACUsEs NEW STADIUM.
Concrete Structure Covers sax and
a Third Acres of Ground.

Syracuse University has lately Cele-
brated the completion Of its immense
now stadium, the second structure of it's
kind to be erected in this country around
an athletic field. The area covered by
the now stadium is six and a third acres,
and the fieln. which is inciosed. measures
GO by 475 feet and contains football and
baseball grounds and a quarter OF a mile
running track.
The normal seating capacity Of the big
concrete sides OF the bowlike structure is
20 900. but that number is only one-halr
OF the possible capacity. AS a further ex-
PLANTATION of the magnitude of the work
the builders record that 10000 cubic yards
of earth were excayated and 10000 cubic
yards OF Te-enforced concrete put in
place.
In more ways than one have the ideas
OF the old Greeks and Romans, the first
builders Of stadia, been followed out by
the architects. Athletic games among the
ancients were first held in natural hoI-
low, and the spectators were seated
the ground on the hillsdes. Later the
natural hollow was brought artihcially
into more regular shape and finally il
was provided with seats OF wood, stone,
or marble
Such were the stadia in Olympia and
Athens i'm both of which the seats were
laid directly upon the ground. The new
stadium Is built in much the same way.
1t is situated on the heights about n
mile from the center OF the city. In the
middle OF the west side OF the college
campus the ground forms natural hol-
low like the natural stadIa of old. and
there the new concrete stadium has been
built in the form OF an oval with semi
circular ends.
Chancellor James r. Day first proposed
it's erection, and John D. Archbold, who
has done much for the university pro-
Vided the ways and means. Work was
begun by the university. but In Septem-
ber 1906 a contract was made with the
construction company and the last OF the
re-enforced concrete had hardened on
October %, 1907. The entire structure was
completed in ten working months.
There are eighteen tiers OF seats All
around the field and in the middle OF one
OF the long sides is a concrete and steel
covered grandstand which adds a dis
tinctly modern touch To the work, which
otherwise closely resembles some OF the
old Roman and Greek structures.

Mr.. Cortelyou has been feared more
