They have been handicapped by sickness and a few of ther players traveling on the road, and for these reasons have had little chance to meet their opponents. As things look now, the Shamrocks hare clear sailing for the leadership of the league.

It was a big day and a large eve- ning for victors and losers alike, ex: | |cept that the Scots paid the bill for| tho beefsteak dinner. Following the dinner, a smoker was put on, and, well, a good time was had by all. But back to the golf match. There is at least one person, namely, “Bill” |McIrvino, captain of the Thistles, | | who absolutely refuses to be con- vinced that his team was defeated on the golf links at Inglewood. Bill |thinks there t# something wrong and he ts hoping that those Shamrocks will accépt his challenge for another match. Irishmen beating Scotchmen in a game of golf !s something that |the president of the Arctic club and leader of yesterday's fallen, never heard of nor dreamed of. Well, anyway, the brothers had quite a struggle while it lasted, and & great deal of credit is due to Frank | i ific Coast | golf representative, who acted as| |starter, Handling 160 golfers— | aingles—and getting them under way jis quite some job, but not for this |chap Orchard, who {s the official starter at all the big tournaments in California. All of which means that that Irish-Scotch match at Inglewood | yesterday had a lot of class in every department. ‘There is just one thing that the Scots of the Arctic club |want to know and that is, “Will the |Irish of the Arctic club try to dupll- Jcate that links test of yesterday, soon?” What has P. EF. O’Harris, the Shamrock skipper, got to say In the matter? We Scots want to know, | immediately.

CAMBRIDGE WINNER OF BOAT RACE April 5.—Cambridge won 7 boat race against Oxford over the four and a quarter | mile course on the Thames river here this afternoon. The one of England's great: est sport classics, was witnessed by a crowd of more than 100,000 spec-| tators, who lined both sides of the/ river from the Putney bridge to the Hortlake finish line. When the two captains were called together, Collette, the Cambridge leader, won the toss and chose the | Surrey side of the river, regarded as the pole’ side of the course. The Cambridge crew, as the chal- lenger, took the water first and was followed almost immediately by the Oxford shell. The two crews paddled to the starting line. ‘The din of cheering was hushed when the oarsmen settled into place and there was almost silence on both sides of the river when the referee got them away at 2:22 p. m. Oxford was leading slightly at the} mile. The Cambridge stroke raised | his beat passing the mile mark and went ahead, picking up a lead of a quarter of a length at the mile and & quarter post. At the Hammersmith bridge, near | the two-mile mark, Cambridge had Increased the lead to a full length. At the two-mile mark Cambridge hed increased the lead to two lengths and was going easily. The official time of the winning crew was announced as 18:41 and the margin of victory as four and one- halt lengths. Oxford's desperate attempt to close up the distance in the last quarter of a mile practically spent the whole Mellon and six of his men were in distress when they rowed thelr shell across the finish line.

There 1s plenty of time after the games for the players of the op- posing clubs to be clubby, but while they're on the field they should stick to the business of baseball.
