I'lilladelphla has not como tra anythlnR exactly dellnlte, tho matter of canceling tho schedule being In tho hands of tho mlllt.-irv authorities. Tho executive committee of tho New York golf district h.is abandoned thrco of its four championships and has asked tho clubs not to hold invitation tournaments. Hoitnn and (."hii-ago continue? putting o no thing on a war-fund basis, presenting diplomas nnd medals to tho winners Instead of tho useful or otherwise silver plato of tho past. Phl'adelphlanq discussing tho problem to day In tho golfing rlalto were decidedly In faor of the Iloston-Chlcago pcliemo rather than that of tho metropolitan district. "Golf Is the thing," c.tlalmcd one nestor of tho rank, "and tho golfers would wil lingly turn tho money usually paid for silver mugs for winners oer to tho Government, particularly tho losers. Golf will bo played anyhow, and I don't see how nny ono would benefit If wo out out tournaments, par ticularly war-fund tournament?." "How about each club holding tourna ments to buy some of tho war bonds?" was tho happy thought of another htroller. a dlcd-th-tlie-Utekers golfer. "That would help eerjbody at onco and would send tho touriiainent3 booming." Tho New York district seems to havo gono around in a circlo somen hat when It proposes In Its tourney-thwarting mandate that a Memorial Day tourney bo placed, tho pioceeds of which going to anibulance buylng for use In Krancc. "It certainly, brings German filghtful ness right to our own heanWi," frowned ono of our best golfers, "this being asked to gio up our golf uvents." Biff Leaguers Very healthy and animated respect has developed over-night for tho Old York ltoad team of women, cnteied for tho tlrst tlmo this year In tho competition for tho Phila delphia, team championship.' It stacks up against Jlerion on Tuesday, nnd tho others teams In the championship leaguo aro all a-gijg to scan tho box-score. Merlon Is tho champion, has Its strong, est line-up in mid-season form nnd meets tho new-comers over Its own course. Tho showing that tho JcnUlntown feminine golflsts in.ido this week against tho Cricket Club seems unbelievable when the dopo sheets are brought Into play. Tho York Itoadettes went to tho tecs without their captain, Sirs. J. S. Ely, which meant that the thrco eterans of last year's sec-ond-llight uulntet had to movo up a peg. This looked liko a gloomy weakening of tho lead Added to this wns the fact that tho Jcnklntoniaus led forth four new players who had never played In a team match be fore, It was said. It looked like cre-ool slaughter and tho feminine fans present hid their faces from tho terrible sight. Tho Cricket Club, In stead of spreading tho whitewash all over tho course. Just did como through by a 4-3 maigln, the same coming under tho head of n narrow squeak Mrs. GcorgcS. Eisasser, Jr., Mrs. Scott Fowler, Mrs. It. I'crpall and Mrs. II. De Groat were tho brand-new players, nnd all did well. The reason tho latter didn't win seemed to bo because she couldn't sink 'her thirty, forty and ilfty-foot putts. Sho tried out a long ono at tho ninth, which hit tho back of tho cup, perchance, and stayed out. "ISver seo anything like It?" she wished to know. "That's tho way thoy'vq been doing at every hole." Not meaning any disrespect to prohlbl tionlsts, their efforts seem a little untimely for tho reason that this Is tho season of soro and blistered hands from gripping of tho golf clubs, nnd It recnlls a remedy In an old book on golf. Tho player suffering from sore hands should simply give them a good bath of whisky a eouplo of times a day, rubbing the llkker weVIn. It makes tho hands hard. Tho llkker should bo used plentifully, ac cording to tho book. Pros Have Busy Time of It These aro busy times for tho pros at local clubs. Most of them state that tho demand for colt lessons Is greater than ever, particularly among femlnlno players, and that It is dldlcult to find tlmo for all the, lessons that club members want to book." ' This applied during tho winter, too, at tho indoor schools. GImbels had three professional constantly busy, and tho rec ords show that Dave Cuthbert. for one, gave about BOO lessons, all of which shows that Interest in the royal and ancient gamo Is ever waxing. Demand for lessons In Baltimore has Increased so rapidly that the price Is now quoted at ?2 the hour, ami still the bookings pile up. Alex Duncan, who was one of , the ln structors at dlmbels and whose place at the Cricket Club Jms been taken by Ed Loos, writes from ItockfordIll., where he now is, that he has the best' berth of his life, like so many other local pros, Alex felt that he was being treated unjustly hero, .when mIm, privileges of golf supplies were vne wr uhr ny. o wjw npa wmimMfaJm - V iu t?. .TijF5PWirw -.v:.

JOE BEATS LA SALLE Swartlimorc Preparatory School took ad vantago of every chanco to score In tho Pcirn Charter School game yesterday after noon at Queen Lane, and tho score Swarthinoro 20. 1'enn Charter, 9 shows Just what Coach Anthony's boys can do when tlfcy are going right. I'cnn Charter was unablo to stop the many batting rallies. Tho fact that Coach Merrltt'n twirling staff was on tho blink also bad something to do with the twenty run score. Dill Fleming couldn't fool the heavy-hitting Swnrthmorltes, neither could Lester Kltlcy when ho pitched tho seventh and eighth Innings, and Art Fleming was also up In tho air. It was a baseball gamo, nevertheless, fhough Coach Merrltt would hardly call It that. A cold day, combined with tho general unsteadiness of tho Quakers, helped to send I'cnn Charter down tho toboggan. Today tho I'cnn Charter and Friends' Cen tral nines meet In an Interacadcmic League contest. Not content with winning only In track, tho Haverford School nlno defeated the Central High School players in tho gamo played at tho Main Lino field yestculay afternoon, 0 to C. Dick Lott did somo clever work In tho box for Coach Chailcs Kckles's team. Colyn Humphreys was on tho receiv ing end. Tho Central High nine which Is the youngest In tho Interscholastlc I.oaguc, showed sign of stateness. The Crimson nnd Gold won fiom Oermnntown High Monday when Krug was pitching. On Tues day Central beat Fiankford, with Martin and later Bill Cravls In tho box. Yester day McNerney was given a chanco and, eeryining considered, no pitched a very goou game, nui not quuo good enough to outwit tho Main Liners. La Sallo Collego lost tho opening gamo oi ino series witn St. Joseph's College, Uryno was tho big factor In St. Joe's vie. tory. as It was bis timely double that gave tno nines street, team tno 7-to-3 victory. KONEY NOT PLATE-SHY, DESPITE NINE "BEANINGS" Braves' First Baseman Has Taken Hard Raps, but Still Welcomes Speed Boys Ono of the Hraves' players showed a de cided tendency to back away from tho plate In a recent game with tho Phillies in which Alexander was pouring them over liko shells from a three-Inch cannon. All of which brought out tho fact that It's sel dom you over seo Big Ed Konetchy pull away. If anybody ever had causo to side step, fall down or run to tho bench It is Bid Kd. Tho great first baseman has been beaned nlno times. Of course, ho has had his share of, wallops elsewhere on his anatomy, but nine "bcanlngs" is mjlto a record. Koney naturally makes a great target. But while Alexander was burning them over Edward was standing up to them nnd knocking them for triples, doubles, singles, ns the caso might bo. Miller Huggln3 was a great man for getting hit nnd so was Jako Stahl, but they managed to get their wallops In the back, arm or leg ; Koney's favorite place Is i Ight nn tho old knob. Is ho afraid? Well, wo should say not. Ho wishes Walter John son was pitching In his league, that's what ho does. They talk about boxers taking head beatings and then going daffy, but no one believes' that Koney is getting that way. SUITS $1 1 d TO ORDER - Tteduced from (30, tlS and $10 PETER M0RAN& CO.
