J low voyager was Peter Latham, the worlds professional court tennis champion, who said he would return in the fall.
 Henneberry, Chicago university's pole vaulter, will re-enter school and be eligible for the meets this spring. Hennebery won his "C" two years ago and is considered one of the best vaulters in the west. He is expected to win the conference vault.
 Martie O'Loughlin has returned from a successful southern season to the Plainfield Country club nursing a broken wrist. The accident was an odd one and more than squares off any demonstrations of joy ever made by the women of the Southern resort over O'Loughlin's game. He had a woman on the tee receiving a lesson in driving and as O'LOughlin looked the other way she caught him terrific smash on the wrist with the head of her driver, crack ing the bone. The accident should not keep O'Loughlin off the links for very long. Aleck Smith once had the same trouble by fall from a bicycle, but was playing in six weeks while Aleck Campbell smashed a wrist last July, yet in the Autumn won a place in the open champion ship and the title in the Eastern pro- fessional championship.
 
 Harlan w. Whipple of Boston, who has entered his 30-60 / horse power Stearns in the Briareliff trophy contest on April, "A and en- gagged Barney Oldfield to drive it, is not sure whether or not he is afraid of the hoodoo that is said to be as- sociated with the No IS. In the drawing for race numbers on Tues day MT Whipple drew No Is and he was informed at the time that he could have the letter X painted on his car in place of IS if he wished and he said he would talk the matter over with Oldfleld before making a decision. Oldfield's many friends are hoping that the former track racing champion will not be hoo dooed by an unlucky number or any thing else in his first venture as a road racing driver now that he has abandoned track speed contests.

 pr Simon Carr has an English rival in the cloth and this is said of him by golfing journal of that country: "A remarkable golfer is the Rev Father Dillon of Nor h Man chester. There is nothing small about him-he is over feet in height and his heart is as big in proportion. He has made wonder full strides in the game, and what is more he Dlays his hest game in com petition. The mention of Father Dillon's name at Hesketh. where he is also a member, is always associat- ed with an incident wherein he ad- ministered just punishment to a ball thief At one of the holes his drive was rather wild, and rushing up the side of sandhill to watch it dis appear he saw youth. who was lurking behind sandhill, rush out and put it in his pocket, and was pretending to be looking for the ball when Father Dillon came up. Thrusting his hand into the lad s pocket he brought forth the ball and then pronounced judgment T am not going to hand you over to the police. am going to give you six strokes at intervals of minute each And before the astonished youth realized wha. had happened he was deftly seized and the handle of the butter came smartly down on the less honorable portion of his anatomy. Then Dillon took out his watch and when minute had ticked I4 -sst ,f, ,,n
