Mr. J. Ironside proposed the toast of the Club, of which the spirit re- 11 mained unchanged through many 8 changes that had taken place in its time. The spirit of sportsmanship 198 had permeated the Cub from its ear- liest days when, as the minutes show- w.ed, 6s sufficed for course upkeep, and 26d a week was paid to the boy who 3put the flags out. It was clubs such real 1 as this that had carried with 3 traditions of the game, and had helped to make golf the world-wdie game it had become.. (Applause.)

Davis Loses Eleven Frames In A Row
To Brown
People again crowded Thurston's Hall, London, to see Joe Davis trying to give 35 points start in each frame to Alce Brown, the comparatively un- known Londoner, by they had to sit and watch a solo performance of high- class snooker play by Brown.
Brown won all six frames in the afternoon to increase his lead at the interval to 13-5, and. then he took the first five at night -11 frames in a row in one day from the champion, to gain the comfortable lead of 18-6,
The handicapper, it seems, has set Davis, his greatest task in this Daily Mail gold cup tournament heat, and only a phenomenal burst of scoring by the champion will stop-Brown now.
This is the first-time Brown has won all six frames in a session of a first- class match but the modestly remark- ed to a reporter afterwards, "People don't realise what it means to give 35 points. I wouldn't like to try and give it to a good amateur. "No
In nearly every game Brown im- mediately got in with a break of 20 or 30, to make it almost impossible to catch him. His position was made even more secure by Davis's poor form. Brown: potted confidently from every angle, and manoeuvred the cue ball beautifully, but, Davistime and again was guilty of extraordinary misses. Time and again Davis ap peared to have the position for a good break, but failed at an ordinary straight-forward shot.
Galento's Victory Over
Thomas'
"Two Ton? Thoy Galento, the bat fling bartender of New Jersey, knocked out the St Louis negro, Otis Thomas, in the ninth round of a heavy-weight contest billed for twelve rounds, at St Louis.
Galento, who is ranked in America as the premier challenger to the world title held by Joe Louis, had a 10 lbs weight advantage.” He scaled 18 at 3 lbs, whereas Thomas was 14 at 12 lbs.

Thomas fought very hard, especially towards the end, and had a slight ad- vantage until he was knocked- ....: ont. Galento had the eighth round taken away from him, as he was hitting Tow The referee stopped the fight for a few moments during the "round and threatened to proclaim Thomas the winner. The negro's manager" how- ever, said that he did not wish for vic. tory in such a manner and he asked that the fight might continue,
Thomas has never before lost a de olaion in St Louis, where he has fought most of his bouts; and he numbers amòng his victims Isidore Gastanaga, the Cuban heavy weight who has besten John Henry Lewis."
