yi'--
YEAR OF 1914 MARKED BY
UPSETS IN ATHLETIC WORLD
New Champions Appear in Baseball, Prize Ring, on Golf
Links, in Rowing, Polo and Tennis Football
Title Alone Fails to Change.
WJicn old, leg-weary ISM passes the
baton to his young and sturdy MS re
taylst he does no with tha knowledge that
his hits been a lap of many surprises. An
tho Irish nro wont to, rontcle events by
physical slfins and wonders, so shall wo
call tho period of 1914 "Tho Year of tho
Great Upset" a fitting epitaph.
In baseball, pugilism, golf, rowing, polo
'nd tennis new candidates furnished tho
champions by upsetting holders supposed
to be strongly enough Intrenched In their
positions to withstand ilerce attacks.
Football also presented many surprises,
although Harvard's eleven was able to
demonstrate Its superiority.
Of all the great upsets of tho year the
Boston llraves' victory over the Ath
letics was the crowning surprise. Tho
'Stalling National Leaguers by dint of tho
most remai-Knblo playing over witnessed
managed to rlso from the lowest rung In
the championship ladder to the top of
the National League, and then Anally to
tho world's tltlo by decisively whipping
the Connlo Mack team four straight
games. Manager StalllngB, on tho stage
and by writing, haB endeavored to tell
the woild how his team won, but there 13
no other conclusion to be reached than
that the men wcro supremely confident of
their ftb'llty to win against great odds
and never gave up the ship.
In football Harvard won again largely
through the splendid coaching of Percy
Haughton nnd BUCh excellent players as
Italian, Urndlcc. Hardwlck, Pennock and
Logan. Whether It wns Haughton or
whether it was the material at his com
mand which brought Imprcsstvo triumph
will always be a mooted question. The
effect of Iirickley's absence must be con
sidered In such a debate. Yale, under
the tutelage of lllnkcy, was a factor until
tho crushing defeat In the bowl. Prince
ton, with wonderful material, was a
disappointment. Tho surprise, however,
came in (ho excellent showing made by
Cornell and the Army and the still more
remarkable games played by Washington
aud Jefferson, Pittsburgh, Williams and
Rutgers.
Two new boxing champions came to tho
front In "Kid" Williams, of Baltimore,
bantamweight, nnd "Freddie" Welsh, of
England, lightweight. Williams knocked
out "Johnny" Coulon in the third round
at Los Angeles on Juno 0, nnd Welsh
grabbed his claim to fame by outpointing
"Willie" Ttltchle In London on July 7.
Boston claims Us third champion In
golfer Francis Oulmct, who trimmed the
Veteran Jorry Travers after ho himself
had been beaten by Walter Hagcn, a pro
fessional, for tho open championship. Just
What the distinction Is between amateur
and professional golf would be difficult
to state, but If a golfer may havo ama
teur Btatus young Oulmet Is without a
doubt tho leader of that class.
Somo of tho lecoid makers during 131t

the Brooklyn Dodgers. Brooklyn Feds,
New York Yankees, Now York Giants
and a New York Foderal team but that
Is a matter that never can bo decided
until the experiment Is made. And the
time Beema ripe fof tho Feds to make the
experiment.
The Yankees In IB 15 will ba a mighty
uncertain proposition. Even If they
change owners and Ret a first-class man
ager, it doesn't spell success for the
Yanks, and It doesn't make them a draw
ing; card, The Yanks need something
they haven't got Just now first-class
players. There Is a little likelihood of
any of the other clubs In the big leagues
donattns a few players to the Yanks, be

nament. NUW YORK, Dec. 29. The Fox Hills

the United States next year, and It Intends
to remain In tho running; notwithstanding
tho fact that by so doing all precedent Is
being disregarded. Robert C. "Watson,
president of tho United States Golf Asso.
elation, had given It as his opinion that
because tho Metropolitan open had been
awarded to Fox Hills It could hardly ex
pect to have tho other plum.
When asked for an opinion on the situa
tion. Watson stated that while there was
no rule to prevent fcuch an occurrence he
did not think It likely that one club would
have both tournaments. He added, how
ever, that that was only his personal
opinion, and that tho final decision would
rest entirely with tho delegates when they
gathered at the annual meeting at the
Waldorf-Astoria on JanuaVy 8, Watson
finished with the statement that prior
to taking the Metropolitan, Fox Hills
loomed up as the most likely candidate
ior tne national, but that now It looked
as If Daltusrol would be the choice,

THE GOLFERS' AFTEBMATH
.. 9: .In 1 "medal play competition tha player's
h.l 'y. 'n eesual water on the green. After
lifting he dropped tho ball on another part
or the green, where caaual water did not In
tervene and putted out. la there any penalty?
A. The player la dlsqualined under the rule
which atatcs trat he must place and not drop
the ball.
The above juration and anawer appeared in
a local contemporary a few days- ago, ana
where the authority for the answer comes front
we fall to see. Rule 2T, Hoc t Ion J, of the
Rulea of Golf, aaya:
"If a ball on the putting green He Jn casual
water, or If casual water Intervene between
It and the hole, the ball mar be blavari -whern
It lies, or It may be lilted without penalty end
placed by hand, either within two club lengths
directly behind the apot from which the bull
was lifted, or In tha nearest poaltlon to that
sojit which Is not nearer the hole and which
affords a putt to the hole without casual water
Intervening."
Evidently tha above answer places too much
treas on the world "place," and because the
player drops the ball feels that nothing less
than disqualification for auch a afrloua breach
of the rules Is fit punlehmcnt. Ths rule does
not say that the ball "mum" be placed, auid
as It la far better to place rather than dren
ths player who thua handlcapa himself has
had sufficient punlihment.
