And Mis I. Summera, Dhey had a pair who were better than any from the Saints. Smith and Miks Sum- mers wan all their three games, and a fine victory by A. Keown and Miss M. Fraser in the inst and deciding game over H. Kew and Miss White gave the homesters their initial vic- Iory.

C. Bovaird's return also strengthen- ed the Talkoo team quite a bit al- though he and his partner won only one game; this was a one-sided innteli against Kow and Miss White, who were beaten 21-0),

Talkoo led 2-1 at the end of the round, but at the end of the second die scores were tied at 3-3.

Senior Shield Ties This Week-End

Fine Football Promised

(By "Abo")

Chief interest in local soccer during the week-end will be centred on the first round of the Senior Shield. Two matches will be played this afternoon and one to-morrow..

In an effort to if the trophy, the Saints have obtained the services of four outstanding players, whose in- clusion should strengthen the team considerably. Two of them are

CLUB STILL WEAK

The other game this afternoon is between the Club and Eastern at

stri Happy Valley. I afraid this game will not bear comparison with the other. The Club side does not seem to show any signs of improve ment, though a Shield match may bring the best out of the players. The Chinese should win if they pro-. duce their normal form.

RETIRES

Baltimore, Nov. 24. Mr. Cornellus Vanderbilt Whitney bus temporarily retired from the turf. und 15 of his horses have been sold for £23,020. The sale was the most important of its kind in Maryland turf history.

Mr. Whitney regards his retirement merely as temporary and sold recent- ly that when he had an opportunity to devote personal attention to his stuble he would be buck in racing. In the meantime his wife has ex- panded her stable of jumpers by lak- ing over some of her husband's farmer flat racehorses, which will be put to jumping.

The horse which won most money wns Dauber, which was sold to Mr. W. Du Pont, jun., a member of the Jockey Club, for $29,000 (about £6,000), while The Chief, which was rated as Dauber's superior at the beginning of the season, was sold to Mr. Maxwell Howard for $14,100 (about £2,020).
