In the team contests the intercollegiate system of scoring, 1 point for each match plus the number of holes the winner is up, was employed. The summary of both championships follows: (Played from May 6 to 10 on Garden City Links.) First Round-Yale beat Princeton, 8 to 0; Harvard beat Pennsylvania, 22% to 1%, and Yale beat Columbia, 12% to 3%. Final Round and Championship-Yale beat Harvard, 13 to 5.

Fry, 1 up, in the final round for the amateur title on Holyoke Links. The Open Championship was won June 4 on Holyoke Links by A. Herd, with 226. Harry Weldon, 229, was second, and Tom Vardon Braid (1901 champion) and Taylor tied at 234 for third place. ANNUAL INTERCITY MATCHES OF 1902. The 2-green 72-hole match between the Metropolitan Golf Association and the Golf Association of Philadelphia was won by the former, 81 to 31. The first half of the match was played in May and the second half in November. Philadelphia won the first half, 27 to 16, but lost the second half, 65 to 4. This was New York's third consecutive victory. Boston women won the Griscom Cup, which was played for at Baltusrol Links October 29 and 30. The Boston team beat the Philadelphians 44 to 11, and the New Yorkers 31 to 18. Miss Hecker, the national champion, was one of the players on the New York team. In cycle competition during the season of 1902 the record list received a very complete revision, though there was little done with the against-time slate. Joe Nelson at Pittsburg travelled a mile in 1:18 3-5 erasing Major Taylor's wind-shield effort of several years ago, but otherwise the fast work behind the "devil machines" was accomplished in competition. Not only does the public consider that time in actual racing is more meritorious than when made against the watch. but the makers have lost interest in this former widespread form of advertising. Nelson, the little Swede, excelled in rapid journeying up to twenty miles, when Champion secured credit for the next five miles, and then Elkes, one of the greatest pace-followers the world has ever seen, rounded out the hour. His 41 miles 250 yards at Charles River Park, a third-mile track with inadequate banking for the present rate of speed, is a more wonderful ride than the European times negotiated in the rear of the cumbersome wind-shield pacing artillery with double the protection allowed American riders. The N. C. A. endeavored to bring about uniform pacing restrictions, but it was outvoted in the congress of the Union Cycliste Internationale, though the necessity of adopting the American ideas was admitted toward the end of the season, when in Paris an attempt was made to do away with wind-shields and otherwise limit the amount of protection. The greater the protection, the easier it is for a rider to follow, but the increase of horsepower resulted in miles entirely too fast for the banking of the tracks, and it was this contingency that caused the N. C. A. to decide upon only twelve inches in the rear of pacing machines. The performances of American riders are more praiseworthy than those of the Europeans, except those established in England, where the conditions are nearly similar to those in this country. Again at the Easter congress of the international body the N. C. A. will endeavor to have a general plan adopted for paced riding. In unpaced competition there were few changes, the most notable of which was Frank Kramer's 54 4-5 seconds for a half mile. done in a handicap at Vailsburg. Woody Headspeth covered 26 miles 19 yards in the hour at Dayton, Ohio, and this ride by a newcomer was very creditable. Samuelson, the Salt Lake rider, who held the world's unpaced mile at 1:53 2-5, pedaled a half in 52 3-5. The amateurs had a busy inning, and much happened both in competition and against the watch. Walter Smith lost the mile to Joe Nelson, then an amateur, early in the season, and later regained the honor with a ride in 1:25 3-5, and also continued and appropriated everything up to and including five miles, when Nelson's figures of a year ago entered the table. Sam Sulkins obtained the competition figures for five miles, and then Nelson's 1901 times held good for the next ten miles. Hurley rode like a champion and attached many unpaced records to his list. With the exception of Linley's ten miles at New Haven, the N. Y. A. C. flyer dominated the competition revising. Hopper at Salt Lake City, where the air is favorable to fast riding. established new unpaced time records for the half at 0:53 2-5, and also tied Snow's old quarter of 0:25 at Providence in 1896. NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Kramer again won the championship of the Grand Circuit by a convincing score, and then, to prove indisputably his right to the title, he defeated decisively Major Taylor, his only rival, in a match race. Of Iver Lawson, much had been expected, but he had not thoroughly recovered from a typhoid illness of the previous Winter. The complete 1902 Grand Circuit score was as follows: Name. 1. Frank L. Kramer.. 2. Major Taylor.. 9. John Bedell. 3. Iver Lawson 4. O. S. Kimble. 5. G. H. Collett. 6. W. S. Fenn... 7. J. T. Fisher... Circuit ehampion, Frank L. Kramer. Quarter-mile champion, Frank L. Kramer. Half-mile champion, W. S. Fenn. One-third mile champion-dead heat between Frank L. Kramer and Major Taylor. One mile champion, Frank L. Kramer. Two-mile champion, Major Taylor. Five-mile champion, Frank L. Kramer. Behind the motors no positive claim to the title was established, though the adherents of three riders figure out their choice is entitled to the crown. Harry Elkes, Bobby Walthour and Albert Champion excelled all others. Elkes made a poor finish, and Champion also started out better than he wound up. Walthour unquestionably led in the concluding struggles. But the champion was not satisfactory owing to pacing problems which were not adjusted in time to insure contests with few exceptions wherein conditions were such that all riders involved had an equal chance. Another season there will not be any difficulty of this sort, and there will also be a paced circuit on which the title will be decided beyond any question of doubt. NATIONAL AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIPS. Though he had lorded it over all the other amateurs in nearly every open event in which he appeared, Marcus Hurley came within an ace of losing the championship medal through an attack of tonsilitis at the time of the series for the title. Three nights of racing, with six races, and point scoring, evolved the winThese were the results: ner. Hartford, August 20-Quarter-mile-Billington 1, Diggs 2, Root 3. Hurley, absent. Time 0:30 1-5.

The tie between Hurley and Root was decided at Hartford September 8, Hurley winning in two straight heats, the first of which was won twice on account of an unintentional foul by Hurley at the start. At the New Haven meet, the amateur middle-distance paced title was won by Sam Sulkins, of Boston, who defeated Fred Dahlke, of Buffalo, in a fifteen mile race. Time, 25:44 1-5. A handicap record will also be recognized as competition record, if the time made is better than has been made in any scratch race of same distance hitherto run. One hour, 26 miles 19 yards, W.
