waters Of the pool into pillows as they
sped. Inch by inch Vollmer cut down
the short space that separated him
from the lead, but the distance was a
bit too short, and Cam just touched
the wall at the finish a scant fifth Of
second in front. So close was the
finish that many believed the pair had
finished on even terms.

WHAT IS AMATEUR

Athletic enthusiasts Of the CITY are
eagerly awaiting the outcome of the
test case begun by Edward L. Emes, Of
the Bronx Church House, against the
Metropolitan Association Of the ANA
tour Athletic Union, the bone of con-
tention being the capitalization Of
athletic fame which will be argued

morning. The Bronx athlete obtained
an injunction last Saturday norninc
restraining the American Athletic
Club and other officials from prevent-

little demonstration in the near future
and in an impressive style. Darcy has
beaten Chip and Clabby, neither OF
whom IS in the class with Dillon,
Miske or Levinsky.
Tom O'Rourke has offered Darcy
$4,000 TO box either Dillon or Al Nc
Coy. The Australian promptly de-
manded $4,000 and was undecided as
70 which one he would take on.
Considering what happened to Bill
Squires. another Australian who was
just as highly touted as Darcy, 10000

first experience in league game, and
he acquitted himself nobly.
Britton made the first goal, on a
long shot from the centre, in about

play by the Howard boys. Tom drib-
bled the puck half the length OF the
ice. went in back of the st. Nicholas
net, and then made a lightning pass
out to Jack. who was waiting for 1t
and slammed il past Smart, the goal
tender.

las from a scrimmage and a few min
utes before the period ended Tom
Howard. with Jack at his side. skated
through the st. Nicholas defence and

Robert Abbott, of the Bridgeport
University Club, reached the semi-fnal
round in the upper half in defeating
Robert L. Strebeigh, a Columbia Club
man, in a fourth round match of the
Class B National Squash Tennis Asso-
citation championship, which was con-
tinued on the Columbia Club courts
yesterday. Abbott has been playing in
good form, and his victory over the
aggressive White and Blue player
stamps him as a man to be considered
for chance at the title. Strebeigh
gained the jump in the first game,
which he captured $40, but lost the
second by 16-l2. Abbott's pace proved
too last for the firing Strebeigh in the
third game. with the Bridgeport man
15-7.
The Yale Club advanced two men into

Corey was not pressed to score an easy
victory over II. r. Burt by a score of

started out to make the issue a short
one, and his smashing attack and light
ming pace proved too much for Burt.
Johnson earned an equally easy vic
tory over j. p. Carter by score of
15-3, l6--7. In the first game John
