BANKERS AT RUG8Y Commerce Men Are Unable to Stand Pace and Go Down 8-0 1 1 1 1 points to none was the score in tavor of Wanderers in a well contested llritish rugby game between that team and Rank of oininerce.

The game was well fought throughout, the winners securing their victory on a goal and a try. Wanderers secured the kick-off and the game immediately settled down to a series of lims on their twenty-live ard line. Lroailfoot, however, secured cleverly and broke away for the opposing line. He was brought down by Edgar when near the half line. Wanderers and the Hankers Intermitted In their advances on the opposing gouls for some time until Myer of the Wanderer defense broke away and punted the pikskin to centre Held.

Smith returned tho sphere which was closely followed by Shire. The Wanderer forwards tecured and pressed gamely down the Held. They cropped the twenty-live yard line of the moneyed men. They continued their advance, but Vidler relieved the tension with a nice individual play of punt and follow up. The first period closed with no score.

SECOND HALF. The second half opened with a more open Held. The play soon was transferred to Commerce territory where the Wanderers held it for some time. Lroadfoot secured from a scrim and curried the ball across for a touch which wus converted by Myer from a difficult ungle. Commerce tried to even tho score, but failed, the Wanderers having a decided advantage throughout the session.

The light failed rapidly und the bankers came down the Held, and It looked like a sure tally for thoni. Jackson picked the leather out, however, and punted It clear, the whole advance line of the Wanderers following It down. Docker secured, passing to Noble, who scored the second try of the gamo. The kick was not converted and this proved the final score of the game. Uoth teams showed good form for so early in the season, and tho Indications are that good rugger will be seen.

The spectators were surprised, agreeably so, when tho whistle summoned the teams to their plates at (He to seven. Tiresome walls seem at an end and the public may count on games starting on time. Teams lined up as follows: Rank of Commerce: W. S. fuli back; Vllder.

In tho Interval between the Hist and tecond bout, both ot' which were won by the bulky Polo in 3U and 6 minutes, respectively, the Irish champion was introduced by Referee Charley (Justaf-soii as the "leal Pat Connolly." Pat linmediate.ly responded by telling how he hud travelled 4,000 miles to this city and how hu hud been impersonated a couple of years ago in innipeg, he was prepared to meet Ur. Rolior, the responsible party, for any amount up to tj.Uuu. Following up tins Btatetnent Pat challenged the winner of tho Zbyszko-Siegfred match.

After pinning Slegfred's bhoulders lor the second time Zbyszko stepped to the front of the canvas and explained it would bo Impossible tor him to meet Connolly at tho present time, much as he desired, owing to tho fact thut ho was booked up to May 2 upon which date hu sails itor Europe. He suggested that Connolly post with some reputable newspaper and he would cuter It und the bout could be arranged later. PAT WASN'T SATISFIED. Zbyszko was then presented with flowers by admiring countrymen, and was in thu act of leaving tho stage when Connolly again canto forward. Put evidently wasn't satisfied with the Pole's explanation as he said he didn't think it was right tor Zbyszko to run away from him like that.

This'arous-ed Mr. Zbyszko who tossed off his robe and remarked In a very piercing manner: "All right, we'll wrestle now." Connolly immediately doffed his overcoat and the enthusiasts who had been tiling out couldn't get back to their seats quick enough with such a prospective dangling before their eyes. Connolly, however, did not have J50U in his pockets, but said he would post this amount with the sporting editor of The Tribune. This concluded a lively few moments. WRESTLED IN BARE FEET.

As far as the match between Zbyszko and Siegfred was concerned the Polish star appeared to be the master at every turn, ulthough the Herman occasioned a great amount of enthusiasm by tho manner In which he squirmed out of holds. Siegfred was strong, but lacked the polish and speed of his opponent. At the half hour the Herman was pinned with a crotch and half-nelson. The men were standing up In thu second bout when Zbyszko secured a head lock and threw Siegfred clear over his shoulders and pinioned him. This required only six minutes.

Zbyszko wrestled in his bare foet. Down Side Lines (What the Local Clubs are Doing) of Soccer Fields St. Stephen's team to play Ben No vis tonight on St. Stephens ground at St. James' subway at 6.4 is as follows: Cuthbert, Cowie, A.

C. Stein.) CON JONES' second lianscontlneiir tal tour may be regarded as an Indication of tho war guns in la- erusse booming in deadly earnest. From the duy that the "Big Four" una the British Columbia ussociation decided to open hostilities und train their lire upon each other thero hasn't been anything more startling than a plethora of highly colored rumors, but with the coast magnate scurrying across the Dominion into tho heart of the enemy the chances ure the battle will have a different edge than mere ozone. That Jones was alarmed -Tuesday upon receipt of the news that both "Newsy" Lalonde und Hilly Fitzgerald had decided to remain In the east is borne out by his hurried departure for Toronto und Just what the president of the Vancouver club has up his sleeve will remain in doubt until the actual operation is performed, but summing up the situation in a general way, Jones will undoubtedly cause tho eastern mouuls a ercut amount of anxiety, und by a few delt! strokes may wipe out the temporary udvantage that the "Big Four" seems to have gained through the acquisition of the two highest priced stars In the lacrosse world.

Jones evidently means Hght Hnd In the buttle of dollars he will have to be reckoned with. on his former pilgrimage he got what he went alter. It appears that the conscience of lacrosse players in the professional circle is not troubled by promises, and as good cold cash will be the megaphone of business, Jones has more than an even chance of making good on his mission.

Tnreo years ago, Vancouver und Westminster were considered more or less us a Joke by leading lacrosse ot iiciais In tne east, but tne shoe Is on the other loot now. In those three years un all-star aggregation trom i.cgina, the Nationals and team, in addition to a couple of transcontinental jaunts on tne purl of Charlie (Juerne's Tecumsehs, have en deavored to litt the pewter, and every attempt has been a miserable fullure. Tno western clubs were too strong. The brum! of lacrosse played In the west today Is superior to that played In the eastern leagues.

Wltn tne advantage of playing on home grounds, the task has been too tn ind indications pointe to the cuii sojourning in British Co lumbia whether In the camji of the Vancouver or Westminster teauiB It matters little for some time to come. And the eastern clubs have recog nized that superiority, despite the tact that Invariably they have given out to the disappointed eastern public, alter the several attempts have failed, that they were deprived of victory owing to partial reierees and other paltry excuses. But In their own hearts they know they weer beaten by superior teams. hat could brak the power of the B. C.

L. Since the trip of the Tecumsehs to the coast lust fall, this one question apparently has been uppermost In the minds of Charlie Quer-lie, Bob Fleming tt and the con clusion reached appeared to be "liaise the salary limit." With but one object In view, tnat of luting the cream ot the western players back to eastern haunts, the Dominion Lacrosse association wus formed. The price for lacrosse players' services soared nlgher than even rarnum ever dared Even agents were sent to the coast, wno, taking advantage of the dissen slon In the ranks of the Snlmonbellies, succeeded in signing three of the Ilov al City stars. But they later repented for their hasty act and refunded the advance money back to the Queen City, much to the chagrin of one Fle ming. But regarding the boosted salaries the west have met and successfully icpuiseii me auacK.

Tne intense rlv airy oetween tne ancouvers and Westminsters, which has made the game so fascinating on the coast, was forgotten in tlie scramble to keep their execute iwenes intact. The advances of eastern money were better ed at every turn. Not only have the western clubs retained tho pluyers niey uesireu, dui nave even carried tne rignt into ihe enemies' territory, aim nuve urougni uacK tne spoils. Tho lacrosse games last season be tween the rival teams in the B. C.
