FOOTBALL.
The following exhibition matches have been arranged by the Chin- exe Athletic Association for 7th & 8th September, 1929, at 4.30 p.m. at North Point:-Chinese Athletic Association versus the Somerset Light Infantry, on Sept. 7 and the Chinese Athletic Asso- ciation versus the Combined Navy on Sept. 8.
William Thomson, well-known western golf professional, and Chief Sitting Eagle of the Stonies, differed as to which could beat the other at golf, each armed with his chosen weapon. Sitting Eagle took his trusty bow and arrow; Thorason relied on his golf clubs. At the end of a nine-hols try out the Chief was four up on the pro. His target was of course larger than Thomson'a chjective and he could and did hole out" from long range. The contest was staged over one-half of the championship course where the competition for the Prince of Wales Trophy will be staged in the "Canadian Golfer" tour of Canada, starting from Toronto August 12.
