At any rate. Baker was very much peeved and dictated a polite noto telling Mr. Burns to remain In tho old homestead. fy ' Funny thing about Burns. He """was considered a brainy man behind tho plate, but not one big club claimed him when waivers were asked a couple of weeks ago. Eddie, however, announced his retirement last month, but was not taken seriously. Ball players usually announce their retirement when the flguics on the con- tract are not satisfactory. Now Burns must go to the minors or quit playing baseball. That is the edict sent across the continent by tho big boss of the Thlls, and Eddlo must act accordingly. p There Is another holdout according to the list of plajers announced ly Baker yesterday. It Is none other than Emll "Irish" Meusel, tho kid outfielder, who played a fair game last year. Irish is a real holdout, but "not over tho salary question. Ho Is said to have agreed on the figures, but insisted that transportation for his wife be paid by the club. This is unusual and the president called a halt. There will be no more letters 'exchanged and Meusel cither mutt come to terms or stay out on the coast rand out of baseball. DATI' BAXCIiOFT has not yet signed the papers, but is expected to come through this tccck. The difference between himself and the club has been settled amicably and the little shortstop will be among those present when the club leaves for Charlotte one week from today. . , Shortstops Leaders in Holdout League jQjHORTSTOPS have been the star holdouts this year.

Billy Kopf, traded to Brooklyn by Cincinnati, announced 'his retirement after looking at the contract sent by Ebbets.

Golfer May Annex Woman 's National Title Mrs. Vanderbeck, Mrs. Bar low and Miss Caverly Among Eight Leading Local Contenders TO PLAY AT SHAWNEE By PETER PUTTER GREAT interest centers in the national golf championships, which will be held this year for the first time since 1917. Chick Kvans Is rhe present amateur and open champion and Miss Alexa Stirling Is the woman champion. Only one of the national events will be held near Philadelphia, and that will be the women's championship at hhaw- t neL f rom SePt?"-b" 29 to October 4 The national amateur will be played at the Oakmont Country Club, tho best course near Pittsburgh, from August 18 to 23, while the open will be staged at Brae Burn, one of the best of the Bos ton courses, June 12 to 14. Inasmuch as we have no men golfers In Philadelphia who are capable of winning tho national title, tho greatest Interest centers in the women's event. The present national runner up Is Miss Mildred Caverly, of the Philadelphia Cricket Club. Sho was beaten on the seventeenth green after what Is gener ally regarded n's the best staged women's contest ever held In this cguntry. Until 1915 we had not had a natlonnl cham pion here since 1900, when Miss Pran ces Grlscom won the title. Mrs Clarence H. Vanderbeck, also of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, won the qualifying round with the very fine score of 85. Her greatest match was with Miss Stirling. The southern girl, at that time not yet eighteen years old, squared the match on the home green. Eventually Mrs. vanderbeck won the match on the twenty-second hole. Mrs. anderbeck In the final roucd with Mrs. W. A. Gavin won by three up and two to play. Eight Prominent Contender! Philadelphia will send nn extremely strong field of players to Shawnee for the title nnd the chances are likely that one wJll win the title. Prominent among these is Miss Caverly, the pres ent local champion. She has Improved a great deal since she played against Miss Stirling for the title. She not only has the shots In her bag, but she has plenty of confidence. Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow, of the Merlon Cricket Club, who has been In two na tional finals but who was beaten In both, will bo another contestant. She Is still one of the best women golfers In the country and there are very few who can beat her on the links. Mrs. Caleb F. Fox, who Is also a na tional finalist. Is another prominent player from this city who will bo at Shaw nee. , Miss nthel Campbell Is another player who may be looked upon to qualify for the championship. While she never has flguied prominently In local golf, she is a former Florida champion, and In win ning that title last year she beat some of the best women players In the coun try, Mrs. G. Henry Stetson and Mrs. George S. Munson, with Miss Eleanor T. Chandler, are three other prominent Phlladelphlnns, and every one of these women ought to qualify in the event. Their Chief Rivals Those who saw Miss Stirling ana Miss Elaine Rosenthal play at the Cricket Club last summer for the Red Cross will remember that the games of these two players hava Improved greatly since both played here In the Berthellyn cup tournament. On that day Miss Stirling gave the finest exhibition of driving ever seen here by a woman. The way she goes after her shots Is marvellous and she puts as much stuff into her shots as most men. AH li all, this coming championship Is going to be some fine exhibition of golf. Shawnee has announced that It will hold three tournaments thla.year. The Buckwood tournament for men will be played there July 24, 25 and 26. The women's tournament will be held there June 18 to 21 while 'the open tournament te sheduled jfer (Autrust 6 BfWJ't., THeao, FRIEND ft Phila.

BRITISH GOLF STARS CANCEL AMERICAN TRIP Harry Vardon Writes That Eng lish Teams Now Plan On Tour in 1920 There will be no American tour for the British golf stars this Reason. There Is no question that a series of Interna tional matches in this country would stimulate the game. Many believed the leading British golfers would be here, but a letter from Harry Vardon, noted English player, to D. Scott Chlsholm. an excellent golfer employed at the Mer chants' Ship, states that all chances of a British tour Is off. The letter from the South Herts Golf Club, at Totterldge, London, under a February 26 dateline, follows: My Iear Mr. Chlsolm James Braid handed mo your letter and I was Indeed glad to hear from you. We British golfers shall not be corning over this year at all. Con ditions are not normal anywhere In the world, but It Is almost sure we will make the trip In 1920. In fact, I have no doubt of It. Glad to hear that my old friend Harry Laudtr Is electrifying his audi ences out there. He can do that better than ho can play golf. Did he ever tell you about the best golfer he ever heard? Have him tell you when you Bee him. Give my best to all my good pals In good old America. Yours sincerely. HARRY VARDOX. PROS PLAY WELL French and Wilson Win Pine hurst Match Plnehnrst, IV.

H. S. TEAM FAVORITE By PAUL PREP Providing the weatherman doesn't put ri clamp on the plans, tho annual track and field championships of the lecal public high schools will be held this afternoon on tho roof of the Wana makcr store. Tho event originally was schedutcd for last Friday, but a sudden snowstorm forced the ofTlclals to call oft everything. One and possibly two records may bo shattered this afternoon. Joe Ralney, the speed king representing Central High School, Is on a record-brffaklng rampage with the mark for the fifty-yard dash his main object. Ralnoy has been run-, nlng In great shape nil winter for the" Mcadowbrook Club, nnd Lew Splelman, the store club trainer, has him In the best of condition. Record is 5 4-5 Seconds The record for the fifty-yard dash on a wooden track Is 5 --G seconds, made seven or eight years ago. If Ralney runs in the same form which has char acterized his work this season he should set a new mark. On several occasions ho has traveled fifty yards on the Mcadowbrook track in 5 2-5 seconds. Of course, the weather conditions will have a great deal to do with his running to day. A stiff wind against tho runners will make a new record Impossible. Doctor O Brlens team appears to havo the title clinched. They have out classed alt the other schools In dual meets and should win, with some points to spare. In Jimmy Russell the Mir rors have a great all-around athlete capable of scoring more than ten points. West Philadelphia Is favorite for sec ond place, with Northeast, Germantown and Southern fighting It out for third honors. Duo to the lack of space on the Wnnamaker roof, tickets are at a pre mium. Each school was allotted 100 tickets. This number was entirely too small for the demand. There were at least three applicants for each ticket. At one school one of the unlucky stu dents offered to pay several dollars for a ticket. Even this failed to get him an admlttanco card.

XdmUiicn BOt. i (War Tax Additional) California 1 With Mediocre Competition This Season, Hundreds Turned Away From Netv York and Boston Games SHEA MUST CAMPAIGN By JED MEREDITn THE question as to whether Indoor track athletics would tako Its old position In tho eyes of tho fans has been decided. Indoor track has returned. Nover wf ro the officials oB the A. A. TT. so agreeably surprised as tliey weri this year when they had to turn hun dreds away from their games held In Brooklyn. Tho championships have drawn largo crowds before, but they always were ablo to take care of them until this year. What Is tho answer? Aro tho games better, is the competition keener, or are the Individual runners better? Tho answer to all these questions Is "No." The people did not sco such men as Jo Looml9, Hay Morse and Howard Drew go to tho mark In tho sprint, nor Johnny Overton and Jola .Ray meet lh tho 1000 yards. Easy for Ray Jole Itay was there and Just as good as et-er, but he did not havo any one to bother him nny part of tho race, nor did the spectators who know him expect to see him .put to any trouble by the men who were against tho Chicago champion. The people are. ready for sport again after tho long stretch, when they had to give them up. Boston turned out in tho same fashion nt their annual big meet held by the Boston A. A. Philadel phia will not bo able to stage the Mcadowbrook games this year, and It Is a great, loss to the track that thera Is not the suitable place available. This meet has been one of great Interest to the clubs rtnd colleges in the East. 3, Sljea Outdoor Planner With all the encouraging features of the season, there were also a few dis appointments. One of tho things that has been asked many times is. Why did Shea, of Pittsburgh, who ran a 47 3-B-second quarter mile in the Intercollegiate meet last year, do so poorly at tho cham pionships In the COO yards? This can be only explained by the faot that Shea Is not an experienced Indoor runner, nor is his stylo of running suited for Indoor tracks. Another thing to bo figured is the size of tho field that started In tho race and the fact that Shea drew tho outside posltlotj with all men of Indoor training on the pole." Position Counts Shea Is a fast runner, but when a race such as the 600 was comes along. It Is not time that counts as much as It is the position a man gets in the first part of tho race and his ability to keep It by change of speed. This same change of speed cannot be adopted at will by runners, but they must get it through racing. Shea could give those same men, yards on the out door track with ease, but he Is not at homo on an Indoor track and will only be when he has run several races in good fields.
