GOOD GOLF AT ARDSLEY.
Yale Wins the Ardsley Cup at Golf
but Loses Champlonship.
The second annual tournament of the
Intercollegiate Golf Association was held
May 4, 5, 6, at the Ardsley Casino on-the-
Hudson, above Dobbs Ferry. There were
two contests, one for the team champion-
ship and the other for the individual golf
championship. The former was won by
the Yale team and the latter by J. F. Cur-
tis, of Harvard. The players were much
handicapped by the prevailing bad weather.
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Columbia
were represented by teams. The play
began on Wednesday, when the Yale team
defeated Princeton bya score of 12 to 8.
The best score was made by Roderick
Terry, Jr., 98, who completed the course
in 83, lowering the amateur record he
made last’ year for the course, by one
stroke, Harvard defeated Columbia easily
by a score of 33 to o. On Thursday the
final match was played between Yale and
Harvard, which resulted in a victory for
Yale by the score of 12 to 3. R. H. Crow-
ell made the best score of the day, doing
the 18 holes in 87 strokes. This is very
good considering the condition of the
links after the rain.
Twenty-four contestants’ entered’ for
the eighteen-hole qualifying round, from
which the eight players making the best
eight scores were picked to compete for
_ the championship, at match play. The
“men who qualified were: R. Terry, Jr.,
’98; J. Reid, Jr., 99; W. R. Betts, ’98; J.
H. Choate, Jr., Harvard; W. B. Cutting,
Jr., Harvard; J. F. Curtis, Harvard ; M.
S. Barger, Harvard; W. D. Vanderpool,
Princeton. The final round for the cham-
pionship was between Reid and’ Curtis.
It was very good golf, Curtis being strong
on approaching and putting. Reid’s
strongest point was driving. Curtis won:
by five up and four to play.
Yale has won for the second time the
Ardsley cup, which is in the form of a
Grecian urn, and will become the property
of the college first winning three tourna-.
ments.

“SPALDING’S”
It has come to this point, that almost
every athlete, from the boy who
is just old enough to swing a bat,
to the seasoned golf expert of
middle life, looks for this word
on his athletic goods, as the sim-
ple and conclusive evidence of
their quality. It’s like ‘‘ster-
ling’ on the products of some
silversmith of national and un-
blemished reputation.
If you will look in this space from
time to time, we will try to sug-
gest some things worth knowing
