GOLFERS' AFTERMATH
NEW YOnif, Jan 2fl Francis Oulmet. the
national amuteur golf champion, nfter going
on reconl as opposed to winter golf as far as
he Is concerned, declaring that it did no
good for his game, has at latt responded to
tho call of the South lie plans a trip to Pine
hurst late In March for the purpose of com
peting In the annual North and South cham
pionships, both open and amateur. Oulmet has
not been playing for eeieral necks, believing
he earned a rest from his activities loBt sea
eon. He dislikes cold because It affects his
handi too much to suit him Late in March,
however, will be quite different than now. It
Is customary to run oft the three North and
South championships nt Dnchurst In succes
sion. March 20 to SS aro tho dates reserved
for the women's championship On March 20
the amateur-professional four-ball competition
Is schduled The open championship Is on the
card for March 27 nnd 2S. while the amateur
fixture Is set for March 20 to April ,1 Inns
much as Heavlew Is planning an Eastern tour
nament, probably beginning on Monda- April
B there la a possibility of Qulmot stopping off
there on bis way North. Oulmet will have as
a companion J. H Sullivan. Jr.
Two more championship courses will be
selected this week, as the New Jersey State
Golf Association will hold Its annual meeting
tomorrow and the Women's Metropolitan Golf
Association will meet on Thursday.
CINDERPATH GLEANINGS
Tom Halpln, the 'Boston mlddle-dlstnnce
runner, Is performing an well ns ever now,
desplto his recent Illness The fiOO-yard rec
ord holder is not as strong ns he might be.
but ho Is gaining rapidly, and by the time
the senior championships tako place In Nnw
York In March ho should havo regained the
height of his form. On Saturday he ran 600
yards In 1.18 4-5 on the slow track In Me
chanlca' Hall. Boston. The Boston athlete
Is now devoting himself entirely to selling
automobiles.
Ollle De druchy Is the first athlete outside
of Tod Meredith to feci tho recent ruling of
the Amateur Athlotlc Union forbidding a col
lege athlete to represent a club and his col
lege during tho period from October 1 to June
1 De Oruchy Is now a student at New
York University, whero II. Von Elilng of tho
Mohawk A. C. Is coach, nnd he desired to
compete on a relay for New York University
on Saturday in the Urooklyn College games,
out he recehed warning that ho was liable
to a suspension if he Insisted In doing so
There was nothing for po Oruchy to do hut
remain out of the meet, and the entire New
York University team had to be withdrawn.
Don't' Shoot I
Organized baseball may Pepper the Feds
For making the pastime a scene,
But the outlawing crush will come back
with a rush, ,
For their Addlnoton lawyer is Keene.
Congrats, Etc.
Boston again hna upheld the best tra
ditions of sport In that city, this time by
working out a plan to have Ted Mere
dith run up there without coming Into
violent contact with an A. A. U. ruling.
This spirit is what gives amateur sport
Its following.

ZANESVILLE, O., Jan. 2C "Speak
ing of trading baseball players for pet
bulldogs, canaries and ball bats," de
clared Enoch Somers, voteran man
ager, "why, those were nothing com
pared to tho deals pulled In the old
days.
"When I was manager of the Cat
lettsburg, Ky., team In the Ohlo-Vlr-glnla
League, we ran out of tobacco on
tho train one day while making a Jump
over tho Kentucky 'State line, and I
traded 'Golrtlo' Ayres, an outfielder,
to tho manager of the Huntington,
W. Va,, team for a package of to
bacco." of a Roman emperor, while a wide and
high brow bespeaks a mentality of a
high order features, clean cut as a
cameo strong but delicately molded
faqo."
No, Blanch, it Is not descriptive of
the dashing Belgium hero, who stood
his ground against the oncoming thou
sands. Nor yet Is it some Alexander of
fox-trot nnd tango, for It chows tobacco.
Give up? Well, it's meant, by a New
Orleans sporting writer, to describe Tom
McCarey, promoter of those dreadful

Some of our city editors who nre
sticklers for news condensed would no
doubt have been literally tickled to
death to have come across the foregoing
copy. We can also imagine how it
would have looked after a copy-chopping
process. Can you beat It?
"Trinklng, Best Sport Vat Is"
Which brings to mind the yarn we
read in one our exchanges in which
Harley Davidson recalls some views on
sport in Russia as observed by his
brother John. Johnny discovered tho
great run of people In Russia had no
time or inclination for sport. They have
few opportunities, In fact, Tno leisure
class Is too tired to Indulge in any form
of physical exercise, and the others are
about as Interested.
You Missed It!
If our Judgment goes for anything.
It will be many a day before another
such fight Is witnessed as at the Na
tional A. C. Saturday night. From
tho opening round to the last there
was not a sportsman in the vast au
dience who was not thrilled at the
sight. More action was crammed Into
the Ktlbane-Morgan battle than has
been the pleasure of fans to see in
years. There was a thrill in every
round, and tho last one was enough to
satisfy the appetites of the most ex
acting. KHbaije has been censured In
other Appearances here, or exerting
himself "just- enough to win. Saturday
night he found Morgan a good pace
maker and the result was the clever
est sort pt a boxing exhibition. Kll
bane won all right, but credit must ba
given Morgan, who did all that was
possible to make the going Interesting.
It Is good news to know that they will
meet again on February 13 here.

Delaware Boys' Club Wants Qamcs
The management of the Delawaro Boys'
Club Is desirous of arranging games with
first-class In or out-of-town teams, having
halls and offering a fair guarantee, and
would like to hoar from sucli teams as
Corley C. C, Salem Hooso, Camden High
and St. Rita's. Address either H. A.
O'Brien, 518 Ileal Estate Trust CBulldlng.
or I, D. Shuall, 211 South 3d street, Phila
delphia. it narrowed within its own borders.
It may even succeed for a brief spell,
But not for Ions. Tho explosion will
follow soon ooough, and when it does
those who figure a tennis champion
ship of tho XJnlted States is only for
the minority elect will be buried deeper
under tho debris than the mummied
sleepers of Pompeii.
Wo don't believe the Tennis Asso
ciation as a body feels this way about
it. If It does, tho ndmisslon should be
mado at onceJso tho fuse can be prop
erly adjusted for the comlnrr detona
tion. But one foolish squawk is not
yet the voice of the entire body.
Our Own Bosary
"O memories that bless and burn"
O meniaries that sting llkell;
To theb again-1 sadly turn
And rest beneath thy bitter spell;
O memories from ancient tracks
Out where the flag of sorrow waves.
Of kale I plastered on the Macks
To, slip a wallop to the Braves.
O memories almost forgot
O memories that hurt like sin,
Of how I pitched a mashte shot
Within 18 inches of the pin;
O memories that shout "Ahoyl"
O memories that lash and cut,
Of how J gurgled in my joy f
And then stepped up and missed the
putt.
If the magnate needs defending or
the ball player Is a down-trodden
wight what about the case of thosa
600,000 men anxious to work for a, bare
living but all out of obs? Who la

manding fair' play?
Sir To settle a bet, who is now
welterweight champion? Gibbons. Mc
Nqoorty or Clabby? k, d. L.
Do' yo mean "to settle a bet" or to
Btart, an argument?
But What Can You Do With Half
a DogP
Blr--r suppose it la all right for a
ball player to be sold to another club.
But under such conditions don't you
think it la only fair that the player
should receive half the purchase price?
