Ray had held the British championship the pre- ceding year, and had been runner-up to J. H. Taylor in the Spring of that year. Vardon was one of Great Britain's great triumvirate, the two others being J. H. Taylor and James Braid, and by many was and still is considered the greatest golfer that ever lived. Ray, while not so brilliant as Vardon, still was an idol of no mean degree. Besides this illustrious pair, there had come along Louis Tellier, brilliant little French player, and Wilfrid Reid, a prominent English professional. Both of the latter, as things turned out, located in America, so that they later became familiar tournament figures. Having gotten my early start in golf in England, it may be rather a suprise to some to learn that it was at Brookline T first saw Vardon and Ray. I had seen Taylor and Braid in action on ‘the other side in an exhibition match, but never Harry and Ted. Of cow 1 had had practically no ex- perience as a tournament player on the other side.

D. CAMBRIDGE EIGHT WINS OVER OXFORD By the Associated Press. PUTNEY, England, . March 27 The Cambridge varsity crew, with a substitute rowing at No. 4, defeated their old rivals of Oxford by five lengths today in one of the finest races seen on the Thames in vears. At the start there was little to choose between the two eights, al- though Oxford was slightly the fa- vorite. It was a gruelling race from the beginning at Putney over the 4% mile course to Mortlake, but when Cambridge flashed over the line hard- man in her boat segmed in dis. . while several of the Cxford crew ‘were in a state of collapse. The official time was 19 minutes seconds, which 1s just a. minute slow- er than' the record established by Ox- ford in 1911, Oxford won the toss for position and chose the south side of the river. The Dark Blues led slightly for most of the first 2 miles, but did not seem to have much in reserve. Then Cam- | , although rowing a somewhat urse_around the big horse at Hammersmith, took the aintained it to the end. It is reported that Cambridge tried out a new stimulant, each member of the crew poontuls of brown sugar just before the start, but the Cambridge trainer was not inclined to talk about the report after the race. The efficacy ¢ as & stimulant s well kno nelish crews have not trled it heretofore so 1s known. Huge crowds took advantage of the beautiful sunshiny weather to wit e the race.

Furthermore, although failing to score brilliantly, I had kept up an average that left me less than a stroke a round back of the leaders, whereas at Buffalo I was 17 strokes back.

Earl Eby, an intercollegiate half- mile champion of a few years ago, suffered from a good many such sores until he found the remedy. It is pictured on the left in the above illustrations. He' merely used his left hand to break the tape, instead of his chest muscle.
