RENFREW SEVEN VICTORIOUS
Defeat Of Wanderers a Surprise
10 Canadian Hockey Followers.

The biggest surprise Of the season in the
senior professional league of Canada took
place on FRIDAY night in Renfrew. when the
home team defeated the Wanderers Of Mon
trcal by a score of S 10 ). Tho latter seven
since losing 10 Ottawa. ten days ago. had
been strengthened and was playing better
than al any time during the season. Their
followers we're expecting defeat for Ottawa.
Now all seems lost. for defeat put the
Wanderers three games behind Ottawa. and
even though they should win both remain
ing matches, ottawa would stil be one
game behind. unless Rsnfrew or one Of the
other teams should accomplish the unex-
pected against ottawa AMI also set them
back. This Is not impossible, as the Rem
frew team is playing great hockey.
The Ottawas and Wanderers and
probably one or two Of the professional
teams Of Canada will be down here at the
close OF the season IN Canada. They will
be seen in games in ST. Nicholas Rink and
will play for a purse put Up by the rink
management.

In the opinion Of Scotch golf critic
writing in a Glasgow paper, 1t is not AZ
all unlikely that the ST. Andrews rules OF
golf committee will withdraw its unpopu-
lar embargo on the Schenectady Putter. IN
his discussion OF the subject the writer
takes Captain Burn Of the rules commit
tee to task. rather than the United States
Golf Association, as may be seen By the
following.
The use of the Schenectady putter has
been legalized in the United States, thong
it is barred in every other part az the golf
ing world That is the meaning OF the
adoption by the United States Golf Asso-

the rule regarding the prohibition or CLUBS

them an opportunity TO interpret me rue
10 their own satisfaction. one would Ike
70 know on what grounds this opinion Is
based, also whether II has the approVai
of Captain Burns colleagues on the commit
tee and of the Royal and Ancient Club' lot
II must be remembered that the DEGREES or
the committee have not the force OF law
until ratified by the club.
In pacifying the golfers OF the United
States the mediator may ind that he has
created trouble nearer home. The report or

P,Irn has given them the liberty TO inter-

why should a privilege be accorded ia an
association across the Atlantic while II Is
withheld from golfers in this country
No more effectual means OF weakening the
authority of the ruling body in golf could
have been taken than this step 10 lesallZe
the use of a club which Captain Burn, IN
reply to an inquiry from the United states

BIG TOURNEY AN ISSUE
Crescent A. c. May Not Ask for
Lawn Tennis Fixture.
LIKELY TO GO UPSTATE
There's a Reason" Says H. O,
Martin, in Discussing the
Championship.

Lawn tennis players OF this city are won
dering what ia n be- the fate of the New
York state championship tournament this
year. Henry e.. Martin. chairman of the
lawn tennis committee Of the Crescent Ath-
etic Club. has expressed himself as eN-
tremely doubtful as to the organiza ton ap-
plying FOR the fixture this season. Among
these who lead in the affairs of the game
at Bay Ridge there seems 10 he consid-
cradle coldness toward the actions OF the
national association. In the terse but
illuminating words of Mr.. Martin, There's
a reason"
II is matter OF lawn tennis history that
the Crescent men have done much TO foster
the game. II was on their field that the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a match
thirteen thousand spectstOrs-saw the Do
herty brothers defeat Holcombe Ward and
Dwight T. Davis in the international match
OF 1902. while all OF the American interna-
.ional challenging teams tuned up on the
Bay Ridge courts.
Two years ago, however. the national pre-
limnary doubles were jumped TO the courts
at Onwentsia, Chicago. The Crescent men
were then appeased by being told that the
two or three years. The New York cham
pionship was then without 4 home, and as
one player remarked yesterday: They got
I that as a stick Of candy for being soo1
/ boys and not making a fuss.
Mr. Martin and others Of the Bay Ridge
] contingent came to the national meeting al
the WaldorfAstoria last Friday night de-
| termined to get back what they regarded
as their tournament The delegates just
laughed. and the vote stood 10 TO % against
/ any change. That was no joke. Mr.. Mar
tin was so angry that he hurled IN ar ap-
rlication for the famous Eastern doubles
/ AT LongWood. The fate of such move was
so certain that. before putting IL 10 vote
DR.. James Dwight endeavored to save the
situation b. courteously offering to over
/ look the application II Mr.. Martin wished
n withdraw il. The latter did, but he was
ldisgrsted.
Now the Crescent Athletic Club is dis
posed 10 play its tournaments to SUIT itseii
and its members. Just what the outcome
nay be no one can tell. Rufus Davis VINO
( represented the New York Athletic Club Al
