by a formidable hill and was ringed

So much for st. Anne's in the past,

owing to a plague of those enemies
of golfng mankind, the leather
Jackets.
The plague spared the putting

suffered and perhaps there will be
patches here and there and an occa-
sional lie that will make a player
scratch his head and deem himself
ill-used, but, taken as whole, it will
be a worthy battlefield.
About the superficial qualities Of
st. Anne's there is variety of opin-
ion. Some people are devoted to it;
others, while admitting it affords an
eminently sound test, think it little
drab and uninviting. They call it a
severe examination in golf rather

DEAD HEAT MARKS
HARLEM REGATTA
Columbia, NJ. +. 150- Pound
Crews Tie-Harvard Wins
Varsity Contest.

n yEW YORK, May l8.-Harvard
nj celebrated the first appearance
| Y of Crimson crew on the
Harlem River in more than
half century today by defeating the
varsity boats of Columbia and Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology in
mile and three-quarters race.
The regatta, triangular only so far
as the varsity race was concerned, was
marked by one Of the rarest occur
rences in the sport-a dead heat. This
came in the l50-pound varsity duel
between Columbia and M. l. T., whose
lightweights rowed across the finish
line so close together the judges called
for a draw.
Harvard's victory in the varsity race
was the CrimSon's first of the season.
Stroked by Bob Cutler of Charles
River, Mass, Harvard covered the
distance in 7:50, slow IN view Of river
conditions. The boats had the benefit
of the current and there was fairly
strong following wind.
Columbia Length in Rear.
~OLUMBIA'S boatload trailed
across the finish line a length
behind in 7:542s, with M. !. T.
only three -fifths of second behind
after a spirited rally in the last 200
yards that almost nipped Columbia
at the finish.
All Of the races were rowed from a
floating start due to the fact one of
the stake boats broke loose from its
anchorage.
Columbia's highly rated freshman
crew registered a three-length victory
over M. I. It's first-year boat over the
same distance rowed in the varsity.
Columbia's time was 7:48. NJ. I. T.
was timed in 7:57.
In the lightweight race, Columbia
and M. I. T. rowed abreast of each
other up to the last two strokes of the
Henley distance Of 5/16 miles, when
Columbia's boat appeared to shoot
across the finish line 2 feet ahead

can put out some darned good golf
material. AS to his style, the young
mans philosophy of stroking the ball
seems to be based on two fundamen-
tails that are as sound as a gold dol
lar. These are the stiff left arm, and
hitting with the hands. No golfer hit
ting the ball around Washington more
consistently maintains an unbroken
bne from shoulder to club-grip than
Hickman Greene. And no golfer hits
the ball more with his hands than
this same youngster. Combine these
two fundamentals with good tenn
permanent, a fine sense of balance and
good timing and you have enough to
stroke golf ball around any course
in respectable figures.

Revised regulations governing dis

The new regulations also specify
retired members of the. departments

lice and Fire Surgeons and the Retir-
ing and Relief Board every two years
until they reach the age of SIS years.
This provision will permit maintaining
retirement pay commensurate with

In its consideration Of the degree OF

Board will use the Veterans Admins
tration's schedule Of disability ratings.
The new regulations affect the Met

ment. They we're recommended by q
special committee composed of Cor
poration Counsel z. Barrett Pretty
man District Auditor Daniel j. Don
ovan and Roland Brennan, secretary

When the economy act went into
effect July /. 1882, all pay step-ups
we're denied both police and f1remen.
With its repeal effective April / Of

increases ended.
Accordingly. the Commissioners have
agreed that mer retired for disability
between these two dates shall receive
compensation based on the salary
that would have been paid them at

PrivateS retired prior to July /,
