Yesterday's results brought about a complete change of ideas regarding the probable outcome of the squash rackets league, the Columbia Country Club, hitherto regarded as the weakest team in the competition, running out victors over the Country Club, who had been favoured to win the league this season, by four matches to one. The absence of Paul Welch was most noticeable, and the Country Club's prospects of winning the championship affected. With Carson and Squires in winning vein, Nelson and Broadbent rose to the occasion to win their matches too.
At the Foreign Y.M.C.A. the home team just went down to defeat at the hands of the Rowing Club by "the odd game in five, the Oarsmen, now sharing with the Race Club the distinction of being the only team in the competition which has not been beaten.
Interest centred on the meeting of L. D. Carson, the Columbia Country Club first string and H. K. Cassels, leading player for the Country Club. Carson showed excellent form when he defeated S. Godkin at the Rowing Club the previous week, and yesterday he confirmed earlier opinions regarding his prowess by running out a winner by three straight games. 9-7, 9-6, 9-6, over as redoubtable a player as H. K. Cassels. The two showed up exceptionally well, Car. son's kills, and particularly his cros court shots on the volley being no-tigeable.
