INTEREST IN THE QUEEN'S NeGLL GAME BEING TAKEN Since 1921 Has the Series Oreated Such a Stir In the intercollegiate Union--Many Queen's Supporters Went to Montreal. sissy large contingent of Queen's nrters left on Friday afternoon id evening by motor and train to present at the Queen"s-McGill on Saturday. Not since 1921 there been such Interest n. in the intercollegiate series Js now evident with half the ule played and each of the teams still retaining a fight- chance for the honors. dntense interest will be manifest pughout the intercollegiate cir- euit in to-day's mix-up and Toronto wourse will hope for a McGill win. situation at present in the in- llegiate is that Toronto has won two and lost one, McGill has won one and lost two and Queen's has won one and lost one. If Queen's win from MeGill, the Montreal college team is out of it, and Queen's will be tied with Toronto with the big fireworks scheduled to take place at the Richardson Stadium next Satur- day. If, on the other hand, "'Shag's" dozen grab off the big end of the score in Montreal and Queen's de- feat Varsity here, it will make a three-cornered tle.' The sport writers call Queen's to win on Saturday and on the show- ing made against McGill here the verdict should be for the Tricolor on Saturday night but football games can well be added to horse-races and elections as very uncertain proposi- tions.

Cobb, who in 1905 was sold to the Detroit clus by the Augusta Baseball Club for $700, sald he has no plans for the present, except "some shooting and a little golf." Cobb's decision to resign mainly was brought about, however, by his acknowledged tallure to produce a pennant-winning team for Detroit. He had played on three Tiger pen- nant-winners, but had not been able to develop a championship club himself. "TINY" ADAMS NOT WITH THE SENATORS Big Fellow Couid Not Devote Time to Hard Grind.

St. Petersburg, Fla., Nov. 6.-- Everything points to the west coast of Florida as the centre of amateur golf interest this fall and winter. While the professionals, lured by the siren that makes them pros, are treking to California for the winter season, thé famous amateurs will disport on the fairways and greens of Florida. The West Coast Golf League is coming in for a big play trom these well-known ntblick- wielders. Chick Evans, who has taken more importaut golf titles, perhaps, than any other amateur of his age In the world, will probably lead the Sunshine City team in the West Coast circuit. Bobby Jones, world's golf cham- pion, who calls Sarasota his home part of the time, may be called up- on to aid that city in the league champlonship battle which started to-day. Jones has been mentioned as a leader of his team and may have to swing into the competition in order to keep this eity in the rug. ning. : Tampa had so many golfers near the "scratch" class that the weity wanted two teams in the league. St. Petersburg fought against this, its representatives contending this would destroy inter-city rivalry as well as interest. The presence of Evans, Jones and other leading golfers on the west coast is going to bring this part of Florida into' the golf spotlight, ac- cording to Walter P. Fuller, de- veloper and owner of the famous Jungle Country Club, where match- es will be staged in this city. Mr. Fuller has been chose by the local chamber of commerce as director for St. Petersburg, and is busy selecting his team for the opening battle with Clearwater here this -montn. The complete personnel of the team hasn't been announced. John Daly, Jr. Florida state champion, is captain of the clear water team and also director repre senting his city in the West Coast Golf League. Township Councils PORTLAND.
