take the field confident that they are at least equal to the opposing side, whatever may be its reputation, then half the battle may be said to have been fought. HOBBS. Paris Britishers Take Two Games BANKERS ACCOUNTS ARE SADLY JUMBLED The three-time forfait clause has been applied to the Crédit Lyonnais team of the Paris Bank Association Football. This will force the drafting of a new schedule, and the cancellation of the results of all matches played by this team during the season. The new schedule and the revised rankings of teams will be worked out this week in time for the clubs to realize where they stand for the matches next Saturday. The surprise result last Saturday was the 10 to 2 victory of the Guaranty Trust team over the Barclays Bank eleven. The Barclays outfit defeated the Guarantors in the first clash of the season, and it was the favorite for the Sabin Cup until this setback at the feet of its former victims. In other matches of the schedule the American Express beat the Banco di Roma, 8-3; Morgan Harjes beat the Banque Populaire, 2-0, the Equitable Trust beat Thomas Cook, 5-2; Lloyds Bank beat the Bank of London 8-0. One hears a good deal of talk and one reads a good many articles on the subject of the coming English cricket season that suggest that a mild attack of “cold feet” is already gripping enthusiasts for the game. The mere announcement of the fact that sixteen Australians are about to travel to England to try their luck in the Test matches is enough to set up several kinds of hysteria and to produce all kinds of convulsions among cricket writers and talkers. The tone of this wailing chorus varies from tones of criticism to loud groans of despair at the prospect of being, like Ethelred, unready for the fray. One searches in vain for the English man who will tell you with a fine burst of national confidence that England is out to win. Or if you find him he will be sure to end

One searches in vain for the English man who will tell you with a fine burst of national confidence that England is out to win. Or if you find him he will be sure to end up by qualifying his optimism with an “if.” Why all this wagging of heads and doleful forecasts? Has cricket become infected with trade pessimism? The first team of the British Rugby Club of Paris continued its long string of notable victories yesterday on the home field at La Courneuve by trouncing the Defosse team of the Stade Français by a neat 21 points to 3. The team work of the winners was of superior order, Williams and Gottschalk standing out in a pack which showed good cohesion and good hands as well as dribbling ability. Captain Stranger was in good form, starting many backfield rushes and carrying over once for a try to his own count after successfully selling a pair of dummies on the way. In the first half, after Smith had dived through to a corner try, Stranger dropped one for four points, and the half ended with the British leading by 7 to 3. In the second half, the British sped up. Soon after the start, Paul, on the right wing, went through four defensive Stade players for a well-earned try. Then Stranger got his try, which Williams converted. Scream then fell on one for three points

Scream then fell on one for three points more, and Wilton fought his way through to another corner try. Paul missed the conversion from the miserable angle; the ball hit the upright well above the bar and glanced outside. The final score of 21 to 3 represents the sixth straight victory for the First team. Seconds Also Tally. The second fifteen also chalked up a victory, beating by 11 to 0 the Paris Postes, Téléphones and Télégraphes in a scrappy game which saw three players banished for slugging, Gilles scored a try after an eighty-yard run, and converted it himself in the first half, while Harvey and French scored tries in the second period. Dimsdale and Wriggath were notable in the defensive play, each stopping certain tries as opponents got away late in the game, when the superior condition of the French team was beginning to show. Walters led his team with his usual steady play. The third fifteen lost to Alfortville by 5 to 24, and the fourth fifteen fell down before Dachy by 9 to 19. PORTING MATTERS Bail Serves the Sports.

I’ve found a cow’s nest!” Sensational Rider Was Born to Fame (Paris Times Spécial) NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana.—Coming out of obscurity only six months ago, but with a name that has been coupled with championship riding honors for fifteen years, Willie Garner, a wisp of a boy jockey, gives promise of adding more fame to the family of riding Garners. AVillie Garner has electrified horsemen and sportsmen at the New Orleans meetings this winter by his expert horsemanship; indisputable proof of AVillie Garner’s superior horsemanship was furnished during the first two weeks of the Fair Grounds meeting, when the boy rode four winners one day and three winners on each of four other days. Altogether during the two weeks he piloted home in front more than a score of his mounts, many of which paid fancy prices. Garner is yet an apprentice. He has, however, all the ability and gameness of a veteran. Horsemen say that the youngster possesses every requisite of a great rider. He Tennis Knows No Bounds. The

Yesterday, on the French Riviera, a Hungarian and an Englishman fought for a French resort cup in the men’s, tennis finals, and an American girl met an English woman for the women’s cup in the same tourney. Hoff Likes America. Charles Hoff, the Norwegian record-holder for both indoor and outdoor pole-vault, has asked the Norwegian officials to extend his three months leave to compete in America. He has invitations from all over the country. Being a good practical amateur, sees no reason why he should not stay longer. He intends to follow the example of AVillie Ritola and settle in America.

NEW YORK, Monday.— Holiday crowds are due this afternoon to watch the United States covered tennis courts championship finals in which Tilden, Richards, Hunter and other American stars are acting as line-judges, while two Frenchmen, Jean Borotra, the holder of the title, and his Davis Cup team-mate, René Lacoste, finalists in the present tournament, play to see which will be America’s champion for 1926. It is the most successful sporting invasion ever made into the stronghold of American sports, for although the French team lost the doubles championship, when Tilden and Frank Anderson put out Borotra and Lacoste, and Richards and Hunter downed Brugnon and Dailey, yet the four semi-finalists included three Frenchmen, the invaders being forced to eliminate each other in the semi-final as well as the final round. The one consoling feature of the singles play for the Americans is the rise of John Austin Ryn, the Princeton lad, who was the only native player in the semi-final round. He took three games from Lacoste. This young player has a regular Maurice McLoughlin service and with an additional year of experience he will have to be considered in American rankings.

Claude Temple, yesterday set three new world marks—for fifty and one hundred kilometers, and for fifty miles. He did the fifty kilometers in 17 m., 46 5/10 s.; the hundred kilometers in 35 m., 29 3/10 s., and the fifty miles in 28 m., 32 3/10 s. These marks were officially timed and are certain to be homologated. Temple also holds the one-hour world’s record at 164,117 kilometers. The records were made at Linas-Monthléry, near Paris. CRITERIUM TOURNAMENT WORKS THROUGH HUNDREDS The Paris Critérium tennis tournament which had more than one thousand entrants, is still working through the eliminations, the games going on daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the covered courts of the Tennis Club de Paris, at 91 Boulevard Exelmans. Yesterday E. Borotra was defeated in singles by Bernard, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1, and Joba beat Rebois, 6-3, 6-3. In the doubles E. Borotra and Buzelet beat Thierry and Douilley, 6-4, 7-5.

Of course, there are times when skill, science and physique play their proper parts, but all other things being equal, it is the side which has the will to win that gets the victory. And it is just because there is that degree of equality about the coming Test matches that the will to win needs to be enforced. Let the writers and the talkers adopt an optimistic note for a change.
