FOR BENEFIT OF MANY WAR FUNDS

y SANDY McNIBLICK
milRKlJ of the nig Four koIC districts of
tlie country have mom or less cast the
dlo on their schedules and what to do with
tlirin.
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

I'cnn Charter was unablo to stop the

also bad something to do with the twenty

Lester Kltlcy when ho pitched tho seventh

also up In tho air.
It was a baseball gamo, nevertheless,

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.

CLEVELAND PLAYER IS ALWAYS
OUT IN THE RAGE 'UK JAiiiiMi
HONORS, T. SPEAKER AGAIN LEADS
First There Was Old Larry, Then Jackson and
Now Tristram Looms Once More as
' . Bludgeon Boss
By GRANTLAND RICE
Song of tho Stalwart
What Fate may offer foul or fair t ." " j
Against the shadowed sky j
I'll play vy role I'll dp my share
I'll keep my head held high ,
I'll take the Game's break as it comes
From now beyond the muffled drums.
I'll let the soft years fade from view,
' As sundrift through the wood,
To give my share of what is due
To serve the common good;
For where in full each gives his part
The load is lighter from the start. '
THKItU must bo something In Cleveland's
general atmosnhero to bolster up the
Catting Eye.
First thero was Nap I.ajolc, and shortly
after his arrival the Cleveland club one
season boasted no fewer than eight .300
hitters In I.ajolc, Flick, Clarke, Uomls,
llossman. Hay, Bradley and Turner.
Then as Larry began to wane Joo Jack
son arrived. Jackson's first two years
wero .408 and .39:.
When Jackson passed on to Chicago Trls
Speaker soon arrived from Uoston. Tho
Texan could always hit. but his general
nverngo had been about forty points below
Cobb's. Hut nnco established In Cleveland
harness, his first olllclal act was to dethrbno
Cobb and end his ulne-jjpar i)gn. And
row for tho new campaign Speaker Is onco
more out In front of tho pack.
Cobb's main opponents have always been
Cleveland entries I.ajole. Jackson nnd
Speaker. And If any citizen outhtts Cobb
this season, tho fuslliado Is nbnost sure to
come from a Cleveland lampart.
"The Giants of Yesterday"
"Where are the snows of yesterday?"
queried tho poet. Wo havo no distinct Idea,
but tho Giants of Yesterday aro almost as
badly scattered. Mcrkle, Doylo and
Demareo with tho Cubs Stock with tho
Phillies Mathcwson with tho Itcds Itu
ilolph and Govrdy with tho IJraves Jlar
nuard and Jleyers with tho Dodgers
Ucscher and Ames with tho Cardinals
about tho only ball club the Giants haven't
replenished with talent Is Pittsburgh. Of
tho 1013 Giants McGr.iw's last pennant
tribe only four remain Fletcher, Herzog,
Burns and Tctreau.
Fandom's Response
It'r, too, thought o Cobb and Speaker,
In bygone other day,
Thinking not of fame and glory,
Only longed to seo them play;
When the sun thonc on the bleachers,
'And the rooters filled the stand,
These old war criei filled our bosoms
"Trls Is tip" or "Ty has fanned."
Sterner things now dim the glories
Of the trail of bat and ball;
Vnele Sam calls for his legions
Fandom clearly hears the call;
Strong for sport and strong fn battle
Every man tclll take hts stand,
Loving still Ty, Trls, etc.,
Loving more our nativo land.
JOHN H. arcGOUGH.

Welsh, provided tho details can bo arranged
nnd tho country will stand for a champion,
ship fight at this stage. If conditions grow
moro serious a championship fight might
bo frowned upon, but this Is hardly likely
to tako place ns long as other professional
sport is carried on. If tho two meet over, a
fifteen or twenty round distance Leonard
should win. Welsh could stand up well
enough over tho ton-round canter, but ths
champion could hardly hold out for twenty
cantos against tho younger challenger.
Welsh bagged tho lightweight tltlo threi
years ago, nnd he was no infant oven then.
Ho has about served his tlmo at the top
of tho peak.

ho said, "and so aro tho Yanks and Tigers.
