at present It is played and followed with various
notifications, without any uniformity. This has
been so since Peter Latham, the famous racquet
professional. invented the game in London several
years ago.
Squash in this country has recruited its devotees
more from the ranks Of lawn tennis players than
from any other Here in this city it is

SPEED SKATERS HERE.
Champions to Clash TO-mOrr01O an
st. Nicholas Rink.

With over one hundred entries. which include
every champion and speed skater Of prominence
IN this country and Canada, the International
championship races at the st. Nicholas Rink to-
morrow night promise to be the most interesting
ever held here. Conspicuous among the champions
who will compete will be Edmund Lamy, the
''Saranao Whirlwind,' who is unquestionaDiy the
fastest ice skater since the days Of Joe Donoghue,
OF Newburg
I.amy's best work has been done on open-air
Kinks and his ability to negotiate the turns in an
indoor rink has not been tested that the friends
OF Clarence Granger. the local champion and in
door record holder. are confident that both he and
Phil Kearney can defeat the Saranac flyer around
the sharp turns. Another factor to be considered
is o. B. Bush, the One-armed Montreal skater, VINO
defeated I.amy at one mile at Pittsburg and again
IN the 22o-yard dashes at Saranac Lake and
Montreal.
Lott Roe and Fred Robson Of Toronto are two
fast men with indoor rink records. and Adolph An
derson OF Chicago, the Western champion, Is con-
fdent that he will distinguish himself In the IN
door races. The heats in the various races have
been arranged to bring all the champions together
In the finals, and many exciting finishes can be
looked FOR.

Single Goal Margin of Victory for
Local Hockey Team.

:, hard fought exhibition game OF hockey last
evening at the St Nicholas rink the Wanderers
hockey team succeeded in defeating the Yale seven
by the close margin OF goals to 2. and If 1t had
not been for the fine work OF Woods, the goal
tenderer Of the Wanderers it IS likely that the col
lese boys would have been the victors. lie kept
several we'll directed shots out OF the net
The first half Of the game was somewhat tame 10
the students Of the game each side scoring q goa4'
but in the second period OF the contest both teams
played faster hockey and put up more brilliant
game. Little Intentionally rough work was in eVi-
dence, though Garon. Of the Wanderers, dld some
checking that the rules do not call for. In the sec
ond half he was sent TO the side line for one min
ute for tripping Johnson.
Soon after this more excitement was furnished
" hen Mcintyre, who relieved Stevens for Yale was
cut over the left by being hit by the puck and
almost at the same time Fels. Of the New Haven
team received q blow on the head from stick,
though his injury slight. When the injuries to
the men were attended to and the game had gone
on for q short time, Fels came to further grlet
when Dufresne checked him with such force that
he was knocked out for few minutes. Gus Horn
feck was another player who did some foul work.
and in the first half he was sent 10 the side line
for two minutes for tripping.
In the opening half of the game the puck was
carried from one end Of the rink 10 the other in
lively fashion. The Yale boys showed some good
team work but seemed 10 be somewhat light at
checking. While several well directed shots that
counted for nothing were made, it was not until
ten minutes Of play had passed that Hermon, for the
Wanderers made the first goal. Five minutes later
Gov was brought 10 the hearts OF the Yale cohorts
when Heron. by skful work. came down tho rink
with the rubber and passed II 10 Martin, who. In
turn on well directed shot. sent it into the cage,
making the score tie.
II was fast work from the start OF the second
half but when McCullurn made the second goal
for the Wanderers after 5e seconds OF play, it
looked as II Yale was IN for q bad beating. Sew
eral minutes later Gus Hornfeck made the third
goal for the Wanderers, and seven minutes before
the end of the game Martin came in for moro
glory by scoring the second goal for the university
seven on 4 pretty pass from johnson.
