[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

EDINBURGH, November 12th. The absence of seven leading players from the Herioters team led to their defeat at the hands-and" "fest-of Wanderers,

result which leaves Glasgow Acade; micals, one of last year's joint Chan- pioca, at the top of the table. The Heriot substitutes, behind the scrummage were anything but efficient, either in attack or defence, aid showed an almost entire absence of initiativo; whilst even their forwards, who were not so, severely handicapped by absentees, had to admit their superiors in the strong-going, Wao- derers pack. Glasgow Academicals had an unexpectedly easy task; they triumph. ed over Watsonians by a substantial margin. The game all through, however, was brimful of incident from start to nish, and during one period at least the issue hung in the balance Jedforest suffered a heavy defeat by Glasgow High School F.P.'s. There is usually freshing vigour and dash in the play of Bottler side, and, in the early stages. at any rate. Jedforest were no excep tion. But with all their fire and keen- uess there, was little finesse a science in their methods. After beginning the sea- son well, the old boys of the Royal High School have been on the downgrade Intely, but nobody was prepared to see them so badly beaten as they were by Hawick. Their forwards were in no way to blame for their defeat, but, the defence of their backs was weak to a degree. The two Edinburgh clubs who made the journey to the Border district cut up in disappointing fashion. Edin- burgh University being beaten by Gala, and Stewart's College F.P.'s falling bei fore Selkirk. All round the Border! teams are showing, well

SURPRISES IN THE LEAGUE,

The promotion of Cowdenbeath to the First Division of the Scottish League is one beneficial act the new relegation system has been responsible for. The club bave had striking success in home gagies since they entered their new sphere, including the wresting of a point recently from Bangers, the champions, and now they have accounted for the club at the top of the League, the redoubtable Airdrieonians Rangersen, countered unexpectedly strong opponition from Third Lanark, and only managed to divide the points,, Rangers are how level with Airdrieonians in points, and Hibernian and Celtie maintain close touch by victories over Hamilton Acade micals and Kilmarnock respectively. The victory of the Edinburgh club was espe- cially meritarious, as they had some not- able absentees from their lot. Celtic also were under strength against Kil marnock; but an emergency centre for- ward introduced-by Celtic, Fleming, a half-back from Vald to Leven, scored four goals. Centre forwarde, indeed enjoyed s field day, and none did so well as Pudefoot (Falkirk), the Englishman scoring Ave goals against Queen's Park. The Ama- teurs on a ground traditionally favour able to them were overwhelmed, and their outlook is black.

The American newspapers bring t fresh tales of the exploits of R. A. Cruickshank, formerly of Edinburgh, who has in three seasons made a big name in the game in the United States. The case of Cruickshank is in this respect singular. Many other players, amateur and professional, have gone into Ameri- can golf in the past, but few have in such a short space of time so firmly im- pressed themselves upon it as Cruick shank has done. "As his latest big success again shows, he is it to beat the best of the American professionals in a first class test. In what is called the Middl Continent Open Tournament, held re cently at the Wichita Country Club, hë headed all the cracks with his wonder ful winning four rounds aggregate of 274, made an amazing new record for the course with a 64, and incidentally helped himself to a prize of 1,000 dollars. For comparison it is interesting to observe that the little ex-amateur of the Edin- burgh school-finished eight strokes ahoad of Walter Huges, twelve ahead of Kirkwood, and fourteen ahead of Leo Diegel, who were in the second, third, and fourth places, la a remarkable strokes under par. The diffeulty of the degree for a tournament of its kind it position can hardly be over-rated. Here was a one-man show. Up to a point it was the little.

Hagen is no "quitter," a tort which was virtually the end of the third round the Scot had as the Americans say, in a case of that picked up a single stroke, but from that sort. It is the spur that brings out point Hagen could not live with him, the best of Hagen. His score suggests though in another sense be had to, since that it did so on this occasion too. But they were paired. In a terrific effort Cruickshank's best was better. Cruick which, as an American chronicler says, shank was expected by some at any rate started with a rush and ended with a to crack sooner or later in the ordeal, whiz, Cruickshank beat the mighty but that is not the Cruickshank way.
