Ned Sawyer has a new butter. Sawyer got hold of a brand-new idea some time ago and had 0 butter made to his order and specifications. Now he is going to play some real golf this spring. A golfer coming from the west to the east always has trou- ble on the greens. because they are so different from what they are used to at home. Seldom, if ever. does one find an undulating green unless it is on one of the new courses. St. Louis is more or less hilIy. The na- tural roll of the ground permits of unGulating greens without having to make them. Chicago courses are flat and many of them have the old style greens.

 Only three up-Staters are selected for the team this season as against five last season. The committee would certainly have selected Little, the star Manchester outside left for ward, in the team if he had been able to play, but home duties have claimed his services for this Sunday. The other three members from that IsectIon are Shields of Hartford Unit ed and Williams and COrdner of the Manchester team.
 Shields is regarded as one of the best forwards in the State and has held a permanent position in the Hartford team for the past four sea sons. He played in the two interna.- tionaI games last spring and gave a great performance. Williams is one l of the trickiest players in the State and IS q. fine bustIing forward who knows how to score goals. He has served three years in the trenches land was discharged from the service about F months ago.
 l Cordner is the captain of the Man chester team and one Of the best de- ! lenders in the State. He is a. very powerful kicker and strong at close | lquarters. The other players are well known to the fans in this city. hut the players represent the best in the State and with 9 of the best stars | playing against each other it is cer-
 tain to be the best game of the sea
 son owing to the great rivalry that l exists every season between these ! two natiOnalities.
 It was too bad that we did not
 have a referee in the State who was neutral so we have to rely upon | SCotChnan Jimmy Miller to fulfil the duties as peace-maker between the l rival teams. The trainer for the | English team will be ID. Sharp of the 1 Bridgeport team while the ScotChmen
 will be taken care of by the T==9.44---=-=- T==.4--= 1 trainer. The Englishnen will use the | lefty teams jerseys while the Scotch men will wear those of the Thistle team.
