The performance of Miss Alexa Stirling, a 19-year-old girl, in win- ning the national golf championship for women, was one of the remark- able performances of the year, Miss Molla Bjursted, tennis champi- on, set a standard for play that the best men players might envy. Miss \Bjursted met and defeated sev- eral men during the season and there is no reason to believe that she would not be a match for the best men in the country.

What will 1917 hring to women in sport? Will woman usurp man's place in other branches of sport? Will she compete with man at his own game and heat him? The wonderful achievements of women in 1916 hint at such a con- summation. Maybe it won't come in 1917, but the trend is that way and man must look to his laurels or grin and bear defeat at woman's hands. TWELVE 0G TRAINS 10 PUT SPEED IN RACE Five Hundred Mile Dash From Winnipeg to 8t Paul Attract: ing Attention FAMOUS DRIVERS TO LEAVE TRAPS FOR RUN St. Paul, Jan. 15.—Ten or twelve dog trains, the pick of the packs that tra- verse the snowy trails of Manitoba and the northwest territories, will pit their speed and endurance, each against all the others, in the 500-mile dash from Winnipeg to the St. Paul outdoor sports carnival, late in Janu- ry. This event, which promises to be- come an annual classic as a leading feature of St, Paul's annual carnival, will be known as the Red River valley derby. The course from Winnipeg will follow the Red river of the North Dakota and Minnesota, touching at. Grand Forks, St. Cloud and other points. The finish line is in the carnival! city’s famous Como park, where the ‘winning team and driver will be wel- comed by thousands, including King | Boreas and his retinue of carnival queens. From Winnipeg to Fargo the derby course follows the old mail route over wbmen have done in the water jybich many years ago the late James | ill made one of his first visits to | a team of shaggy huskies. The big purses hung up by the car- nival association, as well as the lure of the sport and the spirited rivalry among the Northern camps, have tempted some of the most famous dog drivers away from their traps and nets to participate in the carnival derby.
