Threatened to XIII Him.
"They led me through maze of al
| leys and streets to danny cellar-under
arrest. / knew where that car was but
| wasn't going to tell them. | had not
become embroiled in internal politics and
did not want TO become mixed up at
that time. What j wanted was to get

feat q team such a. the Americans sent
to England last year. but they are a
powerful combination, hard riders. hard
hitters, quick and heady. Louis Lacey

furnish great sport for the best OF the
American sides"
Not Very Optimistic.
"As for our own chances" continued
Capt. Goulding with smile, II do not
rate them highly. We will do our best

enth hour. but he could not get away
Douglas will play No. and Gin will
be at back
Douglas is the least experienced OF
the four. Recently he was made
five goal man by Hurlingham. GIN used

how things are over there we could not
practice for a long time on our club
