MAKE
that 11 'Is ono thins to play Iron shots
on a Ann, solid turf and quite another
to do bo whero tho club rocs through
the turf as It would go through soft
cheese.
"The argument drawn from ltfty and
Vardon, who played so well on nit the
American courses, Is of no value what
ever, as they arc such masters ot all
shots that tl.ey can ndapt thomBclve
to varieties In soli, but thla la to be
noted' That while Vardon was beaten
by Oulmet nt Drookllne In 1913 In tho
United States open, Oulmet was far
down the list not oven In tho first tO-ln
tho 1914 British open, at Prcatwlck.
"I make this comparison In no dis
paragement of my friend Oulmet, but
lnoroly to show that Vardon was very
likely bothered by American turf, Just bb
Oulmet was by British turf. It Is note
worthy, also, that tho Amerlcan-brcd
golfer to mako the best showing in a
British open Is John J. McOermott, who
tied with Vardon ln tho 1913 title play at
Hoylake for fifth place. Now, McDer
mott, for some years, was tho profes
sional nt Atlantic City, whero tho 'samlt
neaa' of the turf makes are playing con
ditions more. closely rcsemblo those or
Grcnt Britain than almost any other
course In tho Ifnltcil States In the matter
of sand.
"I remember that tho nsle Raid that
In the plnilng of tho 1912 New Jersey
championship, at Atlantic City, Trnvers
and Klrkby did not uec tho brassle at
nil during tho four days' play, because
they did not liavo tho hang of getting
tho ball away with wood from a Ho In
heavily sanded grass.
"Manifestly, tho club will not go
through sand as It would through tho soft
turf of an Inland course. Tho ball must
be picked up more cleanly with tho
brnssle, and If Travers and Klrby did
stoer clear of tho brasslo then, It was
undoubtedly becauso of tho difference In
tho playing of tho shot caused by the
difference In turf.
"Indeed." said Mr. Anderson, In con
clusion, "I should llko nothing better
than to play a round with 'A Bug' on
the Scottish links nt St. Andrew's the
first tlmo ho ever plays abrodd. nnd bco
his looks of surprise nt the difference In
tho turf nnd the consequent difference In
the playing of shots. If hn will mako his
Identity known to me, I should llko to be
his guide ot St. Andrew's the first tlmo
he plays there."
STATE BASEBALL FOR

Attorney General Says It Could Bo
Done Legally, Just as Fairs Arc
Conducted.
TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 18. Baseball sub
sidized by cities In Kansas Is a possibility.
Soveral legislators in conferenco reasoned
thin way:
If tho State can appropriate money for
the benefit of State and other fairs, why
not permit cities of the first cIobs to
appropriate money for the support of
baseball clubs In such cities?
If the Att6rney General rules that It
can be done, such a bill will bo presented.

William Hollander" infleldera. of the St Louis
American league, Club, wore signed yesterday
M the Wichita Western Lcaguo team.
Before the battle took place Welsh
followed Ritchie around the embattled
landscape, branding; him as a "ten
round money grabber" and a champion
afraid to risk his crown over tho longer
route. "Willie took the chance and was
unhorsed, not to say eradicated, by a
shade. In view of all this, Mr. "Welsh
can obtain no great credit for himself
by adopting that which In Ritchie ho
termed 'icowardly."
Ritchie Is still a young, clean-living
fellow, a fair boxer and a good tighter.
He also Is still the American lightweight
champion. And, therefore, tho logical
entry against the new tltleholdcr.
R. S. R. Sherwood Magee amassed
moro base hits last season than any
other National Leaguer. His total was
171. Trls Speaker led the American
League, with 193 safe blows. The
American League had six men who beat

Speaker, Crawford, Collins, Dakcr, Mc
