by Andrew Carnegie TO give these ex-
hibitions around the country in the in

most difficult feat in these exhibitions
playing against twelve boards at one time.
and can do the trick blindfOlded. Not

COLLEGE GOLFERS
TO INVADE ENGLAND

NEW YORK. February J.-Interco.legi-
ate golf o. an international flavor seems
practically certain during the coming sea =
son. foreign invasion is planned By
several OF the strongest college players
in America. including Ellis Knowles of
Yale, present intercollegiate champion:
Robert Abbott. another Yale man, title
holder in 1866: w T. West and Ralph
Peters. jr.. of Princeton: II. H. Wilder
and w. Fellows Morgan. jr, of Har.
ward
The program as mapped out calls for
visits TO the principal " so-calied elias
sic" courses of England and Scotland.
and as the team would be representa-
tive one the golfers claim it would not be
amiss TO have it play under the co.ors of
the Int collegiate Golf Association.
Efforts have been made recently to de-
termiae Wnen and where 10 go. but moth
Ing approaching schedule has been ar
ranged. IL would be impossible for the
golfers to leave before the end of the col
iege term. or some time in June. Abbott.
who has been especially active in the
project. said yesterday. with a tone of
regret. that he feared it would be i'm
possible for him to make the trip. In the
event of Abbott not being able to go the
chances are that the place will be flied by
some one else.
When it is known on the other side be-
yond doubt that a team of American col
legianS is to visit, arrangements will
doubtless be made for their reception. The
visitors would probably find the oxford
and Cambridge teams eager for matches.
Every year many American golfers COM
pete in tournaments abroad, but their ef-
forts ha.e always been as individuals.
and with the single exception when Wal
ter J. Travis went over in 1904 and won
the amateur championship of Great Brit
ain at Sandwich. the work O. the visitors
has been attended with little success.

FUTILE HUNT FOR GOLD.
Americans Who Are After Treasure
in a Sunken Ship.

MEXICO CITY, Mex, February 6.-The
party of Americans who sought to re-
move from the hold of the Sunken vessel
Golden Gate the 100000 in gold which
is said to be hidden there have given up
the attempt and departed for their homes
in the United States. This vessel was
sunk In storm off the Mexican coast,
near the pot of ManZanillo July a.
1864 while on it's way to New York from
San Francisco. She carried $1.SO0O0O in
gold. Nine hundred thousand dollars was
recovered a few months after the vessel
sank. but before the remainder could be
brought to the surface the hold filed
with sand.
The concession for recovering this
treasure was obtained a few years ago
from the Mexican government. 1t is held
by J. +. Phillips of Denver. Col; r. G. R.
Johnston OF Wilmington. Del: B. F. Phil
lips Of Philadelphia and S. F. Phillips of
Danville. III. These men were making
preparations to pump the sand from the
hold of the vessel about year ago when
storm swept their machinery away.
This latest attempt has just been aban-
doned because the pumping machinery
was found inadequate. 1t is stated that
another attempt will be made as soon as
new pumps can be obtained.

simply that of faded OUT pugilist.
He has grown old since his long and

hard blow upon the crouching. ducking

that the report of his prospective retire
