The sports writers refer regretfully to the news brought by the London Rowing Club Crew that Sam Bell, Wilson and Turner are remaining in Australia. They pay a tribute to Turner as one of the best strokes seen at Henley since the war. Those who had returned speak highly of the competitors they met in Australia, and of the facilities on the Yarra. One said: “We had a hard job to win the final against the New Zealand crew. We had four weeks of intensive training and we needed it.” GOLF NASSAU, December 21. Cruickshank won fifteen hundred dollars first golf prize with 267. Tony Butler, the young Texan, won the second with 268, and the next was Lee and Mallory (Connecticut) with 269.
