Crescent had about its strongest team on
the Ice, including the veterans, Wall and

did much to break up the offence Of tba
Canadian combination. Mills tended goal
in his usual clever style, while Shirreft was
as speedy as ever, though he displayed a
good deal of carelessness with regard TO
offside play This became so pronounced

Collectively, Westmount played wlthou,

team was kept on the defensive almost en-

meeting Jim Stewart, the heavyweight, In
the principal bout at the Irving Athletic

READY TO WELCOME BROWN
Host of Boxers on the Coast
Want to Greet Knockout"

Should Danny Morgan and Knockout"
Brown decide TO journey across the country
TO California, a royal welcome awaits them.
There are half a dozen boys out there who
are only too willing to meet Brown. 'One
Round" Hogan, Harlem Tommy" Murphy
Frankie Burns frankie Smith, Frankie
Conley and Jose Rivers would all be de-
lighted to see "K. o." Tom McCarey
Jimmy Coffroth and several other pro-
moters have made offers to Morgan at vari-
Gus times, but the speeches. one has not
seen his way clear TO accept them.
He feels, however, that II is high time
that Brown gained the experience of en-
gaglng in battle of greater length than
ten rounds. Only once has Knockout"
boxed over ten-that with Bert Keyes in
New Haven last year. when he had little
or no trouble in going fifteen rounds at
fast pace.
When Hogan met Brown in a fast bout
here Morgan said after the bout that It
was lucky for Hogan that the fight ended
when it did, or Brown would certainly have
won by a knockout. Out on the Coast Gil
Boag, manager OF Hogan, declared that
nothing in the world would suit him better
than a battle Of twenty rounds or longer
with the East Side lad. Boag has offered
to bet considerable sum Of real money on
the outcome of match between the pair
and 1t is up TO Morgan. Hogan is IN prime
condition for his match with Tommy Muir
ply and expects to win in decisive style
While "Packey" Mcfarland has shown
little or no desire to face Mike Gibbons, lie
is training hard for his match with Young"
Erne. the Philadelphia welterweight, who
outpointed the st. Paul wonder in a six
round bout some time ago. IT is a matter
Of regret TO those New York enthusiasts
who have seen Mcfarland and Gibbons in
action that a match cannot be made be-
tween the two. Each represents the high
est possible standard Of science and skill in
the roped arena.
There is no doubt about Netherlands best
fighting weight Since his experience with
Tommy Murphy he has refused to do better
than 1877 or 1888 pounds several hours before
entering the ring, which gives him the op-
portunlty to pick up weight and weigh at
least lA or l42 pounds in the ring. At that
figure he is strong and capable OF showing
to his best advantage. Since Gibbons can
make 145 pounds, New Workers hold out
hope for a match.
one of the best bouts between middle
weights that New York has seen In some
time will take place at the Fairmont Ath-
letic Club. of The Bronx, tonight when
Eddie McGoorty and Walter Coffey cross
gloves for ten rounds. The contest is the
first OF a series of elimination battles 10 be
held at the club in order TO secure an oppo-
nent for Frank Klaus. now rated as the
best of the middleweights. Jack Dillon, the
husky Hoosier and Buck Krause are aiso
expected to box here in the near future.

sECRETARY's CUP
ARCTIC CLUE.

According TO one golfer who has looked
into the subject carefully, the executive
committee OF the United States Golf Asso-
citation, which is lahoring over the compila-
ton OF a national handicap will soon be
compelled TO ask number OF the clubs
TO revise their lists. The deeper the com
mittee delves into the problem the more
complicated II becomes. The trouble IN n
number Of instances seems TO be an all too
apparent effort to crowd as many names
as possible inside the sx-sroke limit.
While this desire TO make a showing
may be natural one, IL Is equally apparent
that the committee cannot get out a ma
tional rating along any such lines. This
committee, OF course demands that the ma
tional handicap list be both accurate and
fair. The work now in progress is being
conducted thoroughly and the reports that
have been returned to the secretary have
been grouped In their respective localities
and then submitted to the scrutiny OF com
petent judges.
At a special meeting Of the ST. Andrews
Golf Club. preceding the twenty-fourth an
nual dinner last night at Delmonico's, 1t
was voted to increase the membership TO
$50 This will wipe out the present waiting

Of a crowd OF ten thousand persons to see

have had the best OF 1t I'm their shows at

had every opportunity to Inspect cars In

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

For a bunglesome job at burglariz-
ing a home, the attempted burglary
at the Will Dudley residence in this
city one night last week, takes first
prize. At about midnight Mrs. Dud-
ley was aroused by strange noise,
which sounded to her as though an
effort was being made to open a
window from the outside. She arous-
ed her husband, who lost no time in
making an inves tigation, only to find
thai some one was attempting to
enter the house through q window.
In his efforts to open the window the
burglar would let the window slip
out. Of his hands, making enough
noise to arouse the entire neighbor-
hood. AS soon as the intruder rea-
lized that his actions were being not
iced he happened to remember that
he had business in another part of
the city. Without excusing himself
for disturbing the peace Of the house
hold he departed.
