BOWLING HOCKEY WRESTLIN G _

Preparations for the Maritime men's golf championships were proceeding easily towards com- pletion as entries for the tourna- ment came in slowly. competitqs have -until next Sunday to reg- izter.

Estimating an entry list that would top 100 players, Charles Galbraith. Scottish professional at the Belvedere Club, declared the course was in excellent condition for the impending matches and the 18 greens were in tip top con- dition.

New Brunswick clubs were ex- pected to send nearly 50 players to defend the championship won last year at the Riverdale Golf and Country Club by Joe Lamb of Sussex, a. National Hockey League player.

Pete Kelly, also a National Hoc- key League player who performs with the Detroit Red Wings, stood out as the outstanding threat. for the Maritime amateur crown.

Easy Sailing For Ranger In IAmericafs Cup

Close Together-But On The Surface Only

THE America's Cup race looks like a close match‘ at left. In fact, the Endea- vour II, right, at. ﬁrst glance seems to be a length ahead of the white hulled Ranger. But look close-you’ll see that lhe boats are going in opposite directions. Seen near the half-way point, the Ranger, a. mile ahead, was homeward bound, the En- deavour II. outward bound from Newport, R. I.

LOOKING mighty chesiy, right, with a puffed out spinnaker sail drawing her along the foggy sea at a smart clip, Harold S. Van- derbilt's sloop Ranger cross- es the ﬁnish line more than 17 minutes ahead of T. O. M. Sopwiih’s Endeavour II- the longest lead registered in an America's Cup race in the past. 50 years.

Trailing 7-4 going into the ﬁfth the winners wrested the lead away from their opponents with a nve- run rally during the inning and from there on the losers did the trailing.
