GOLF PLAY FOR TBE METHODISTS Northwestern University May Go in for the Gentle Scotch Pastime. New York Sun Special Service. Chicago, April 28. Encouraged by the suc cess of the tournaments conducted by the Uni versity of Chicago students at Jackson park, A. Flaeger, the Methodist varsity's confer ence representative, today Interviewed students at Evanston on a proposition to form a golf team and to hold a number of events this sea son. The privilege of nslng any of the courses in the vicinity of Evanston would probably be easy to obtain. "There is much enthusiasm over the game at the University of Chicago, and Michigan and Wisconsin also have golf teams," said the former purple athlete. "X think arrangements could be made with the Evanston Golf club for the privilege of using the organization's splen did course, which adjoins the university prop erty. If the directors are favorable to allowing the students the use of the links it would make a fine course for practice, and also over which to hold competitions." COUGHLIN SAYS "NAY" Withdrew Lund Lands from Field in the Game at Renville. Manager Coughlin of the Lund Land team, re ported to have lost at Renville yesterday, explains the facts in a way to put a different light on the outcome. Th teams played a hard and fast game, but the Lunds were one run ahead in the last half of the seventh in- ning,- the score being 4 to 3. Two of the Ren villites were retired when Thompson reached first. Jones then hit a two bagger, which Price fielded to Hill, who relayed It to Kinkel. Th catcher ran to Thompson, who was sprinting for home, but stopped when he saw Kinkel com ing. The ball was put on Thompson, who made a dive under Kinkel to dump him. Kinkel held the Renville boy, at which the Renville players all ran onto the diamond. Jones made a circuit of the crowd. Mayor Bennett, who was acting as umpire, called Thompson safe for interfer ence and allowed Jones a tally. Manager Coughlin says he protested, but It was of no avail, and he withdrew his men from the field. He offered, however, rather than disappoint the crowd, to go on with the game and leave Thompson on third and Jones on second, altho the former was as honestly jfnt out as anyone could be. Renville, he savs. would not agree to this proposition, and the Lunds thereupon left the field. ARLINGTONS AND CALUMETS Winners of Championships in Bowling Season at Winona.

STATE'S ATTORNEY WON HIS POINT The Chicago Track Gamblers Will Have to Shoot Craps This i Year. New York Sun Special Service. Chicago, April 28.The managers of the Worth racetrack have bowed to the decision of State's Attorney Healy, which holds for them the inevitable, and at a meeting of the board of directors today the race meeting scheduled to be opened Saturday will be formally called off. In the opinion of racehorse men similar ac tion will be taken by the directors of the Haw thorn and,'Harlem track and the track at Wash ington park, and the decision that will be reached at Worth tomorrow will probably mean the sealing of the death of racing in Chicago this season. Among the more enthusiastic racehorse owners and bookmakers in the city there was a hope that the Worth officials would make some ef fort to circumvent the decision of the state's attorney, but however these hopes may have been bolstered up during the earlier stages of the fight, they were forever blasted yesterday by a statement issued by E Wagner, man ager and jiart owner of the Worth track. "The Worth Jockey club has no intention of attempting to conduct a race meeting if the authorities of Cook county are opposed to It," he said, and from the attitude of the other directors it was evident that he made the state ment after a practically unanimous decision had been reached. Shortly after Wagner made the declaration that means the end of the last hope for racing in Chicago steps were taken by other directors to prevent the further shipping of horses to the city. Word was sent to horse owners at Nash ville and St Louis, who had made preparations to bring their stables here, to stop all shipments. WMle no definite action has been taken re garding a probable move to the Hammond or Roby tracks, just across the line in Indiana, It is not believed that any such step will be taken.
