They have adopted the western rules in their entirety after years of pouring verbal abuse on the coast methods popularized by the Patricks.

According to the Toronto Star new rules have speeded up play in exhibition contest to date.

Belgian Is Beaten By Home Star Andre Lacroix, Showing Lack of Practice, Drops Match to Ryall ANDRE LACROIX. first ranking tennis player of Belgium, who played in two Berles of Davis Cup matches last summer, and also competed at Wimbledon -with a fair amount of success, dropped three straight sets to Ossie Ryall in an exhibition of tennis played at the Vancouver Lawn Tennis club courts yesterday afternoon. Lacroix, in the city for a few days on a trip around the world, showed lack of practice and the soggy court and strange racquet, which he borrowed, probably did not help his game.

He Is a tall youth and looks every Inch a tennis player. He has a nice forehand and a chop shot which bothered Ryall at times. His backhand was not so good yesterday. Ryall played in mid-season form. His smashes were deadly and his placing just about perfect.

The scores were 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. It la several weeks since the young Belgian star played a match and he was agreeably surprised to have an opportunity of playing tennis In the middle of November. Lacroix played his last match In Japan and also got in a "workout in China but has not handled a racquet for nearly two months. He is accompanied on the trip by a fellow student, Philippe de Gerlache de Gomery, who speaks excellent English. They have finished military training and after the tour will settle down to business.

They'll write, the sport historians of a continent, eulogostio panegiyics of Lalonde no doubt, after the great Frenchman passes into the shadows of forgetfulness and they will describe him, possibly, as Canada'a jnost colorful individual. We seem to get that way. But why wait? Lalonde is seldom written about in staid old Canada. Across the Una he would be immortalized along with Matthewson. Cobb or Lajole in baseball; with Bed McLaughlin, Jerome Travers, Snapper Garrison; a host of others.

Newsy had everything super-stardom demands in lacrosse and hockey. To undoubted craft and skill he added gullefulness. You never knew, in advance, Lalonde's next move. Probably the sinewy Habitant didn't know himself until that sychological instant when he sensed the imperative movement and, In a flash, executed it brilliantly. And Showman, Too LALONDE has not shown, perhaps, the skill and dexterity as manager that he so often dkplayed as a player.

He handled Saskatoon and Niagara Falls indifferently well. One would say that lalonde is the individualist par excellence. Always one cagey eye is cocked toward his own interests. They'll never stage benefits for Newsy because he struck on the financial shoals. He's got sacks full of Jack, as the boys say.

One anecdote illustrates the business acumen quite often brought to Newv's aid at need. He was summering in Montreal and lacrosse waa on the ana pretty well over Canada. Newsy decided that a profitable field for operations of his own peculiar kind lay in the midst of that city's large French-speaking areas. He gathered a group of lacrosse players, secured a park and arranged a series of Sunday lacrosse games at a 25-cent admission fee. It was a strictly Lalonde show and he always had a priest face the ball.

Newsy again proved his showmanship and his ability to sense the commercial value of his own great popularity, by always making a belated appeerance on the playing field. The boys would be out there tossing the ball around, the stands filled with excited chattering people, when, suddenly, Lalonde would dog trot out, In that illimitable style of his, to join them. very crescendo of 'shout, plaudits and "News-aye!" "News-ayel" "Lalon'I" "Lalon!" would break from the packed stands. Always Newsy got his big hand. They played to capacity houses all season and if you think Lalonde didn't cut himself in generously, you are, of course, entitled to hold that opinion.

When Newsy Played 'Em NSWSY, in his athletic transactions with various promoters, during the height of his career, either in lacrosse or hockey, was never known to nccept the "first asking price." Probably his greatest year, financially, was when the late Con Jones overbid Fleming, the Toronto traction magnate, for Newsy's lacrosse services in 1911. Frank Patrick relates that Lalonde had kept Jones and Fleming in uncertainty for several days. Both were dickering and every day the bids were going up. Lalonde was In his element. Finaily Con cornered him in the sub-regions of a Toronto hotel and the bargaining debate was on again.

"I'll give you so much." Jones finally offered. "That's a wonderful offer," Lalonde came back. "But I'll have to see Flern before closing. It wouldn't be fair, you know, Con, although I'm for you." And tn It went. Finally Con grew frantic in a characteristic burst, is said to have raised the offer to $5000.

Lalonde accepted on the spot. They do say that Con pleaded until the tears came to his eyes and that Newsy, not to be outdone by his patron, cried with him. But Newsy got his price, said to be the highest ever paid In professional lacrnwe, and 1911, the year Jones brought the Minto Cup to Vancouver, also gave the coast promoter his greatest profits. The clubs played to sell-out crowds at Becreatlon Park throughout the aeason. It was the peak year in lacrosse, for Lalonde for Jonea and, as it proved, for the cash customers aa well.
