American Women in International Sports
it rrWH nntlenal A. A. U. Is seriously
t J. .government the control of athletics
k Simultaneously with this comes the suggestion that1 the International Amn.
tour Athletic Federation extend its jurisdiction ever women's (.ports In every
country In which It new function) ever men'H events.
i 'The 'A, A. U. already controls, women's swimming competition niul ar
ranged for the American entries that were se successful at the Antwerp Olympic
?
ssmes in iiuu.
Athletics among women, particularly
ttureve te a point far in advance of
A. C doubts if American girls will be ready te make a showing fitting te
U. S. traditions In the 1028 Olympics.
' Our girls would have six years te prepare. They didn't have six months
te organize for Itcd Cress work during the war and their record is one of the
miracles of the turbulent times of '17 and '18.
If they can make geed in swimming, why can't they make geed in ether
lines of athletics? ,
,
"POR some reason or ether Philadelphia will net support amateur
" boxing. The ether night at the Olympia Club a dozen bouts were
', deddedibetwnA,,alMor-glery" youngsters, and ench contest, with one
exception, was 'a' humdinger, as It were. It might be said that there
, were (mbre beiers than 'spectators at the clnb. Ne wonder Philadelphia

Golfers Discuss Distance as Par Basis
1T7TTH the restoration of the stymie and all the ether changes in golf rules
VYbelhg, advocated, ft isn't much of a task te stir up an argument in almost
any lodterieom 'these days.
' One started the ether day en the subject of "par" golf and just what it
constitutes.
A livelier golf ball necessitated a change In par a couple of years nge. Par
ji bated en distenre. Heles up te 250 yards nra new pnr 3. Par 4 is from 251
te 44S yards ; par 5, from 440 te 000, and par 0, mere than COO yards.
, GblfcrR are, new claiming that, for players of the front rank, beating pnr
Incomes easier nn the distance lengthens. If one Is supposed te drive 250
yards, ns per pHr 3 holes, It ought te be "easy" te get en a 000-yard hole In
three for n birdie S. Shet-making, however, Is net the same down hill and up.
r There are things te take Inte consideration besides the yarduge alone.
Players arc wondering whether distance alone should be the basis for par.
', . , . .
SO&fE may d6ubt that that crowd of 13,000 fans jet the opening of
Shettillne Field means anything for Independent baseball's
i
popularity, They figure at an opening, with a band-and things, there
naturally .'would be a'crbwd But close by there was another crowd
f W0O'-thatt-day--watching another, semi-pre-game Independent-,
baseball . ingoing te "pack them in." "

Billy Whitman, of Bridesburg,
Leeks for Biggest Season
Among Semi-Pres
QLEASON SHARES VIEWS
Tomorrow Is official opening day In
the Philadelphia Baseball Association
and en all sides the prediction is made
that the local semi-pre tedms will en
joy their blggeat season.
Among the managers sharing this be
lief arc Hilly Whitman, of Brldcsburg,
nnd Bill Olcasen, of the North Phils.
The latter has recently relinquished
nrtlvc management of the Phils te Perry
Relfsnyder, but Is second vice president
of the Philadelphia Association.
'Thave been playing around here for
a number of years," said Whitman,
but this season is going te be the best.
And Brldcsburg needs it, take it from
me.
"The average fan does net knew
what it means te back one of these
teams and fails te rcnllzt the outlay
necessary te run a club.
Big Monthly Payroll
"I have heard of teams that have
xlgncd clubs for $2e00 a month. But
try and prove it. I tried te get the
best team within reason, but" found
that any such figure, wns impossible.
"Brldesburg is going te have a great
club and the big indues Incurred last
reason may be partly wiped out If we
get any kind of breaks with the weather.
"I nave a fast team nnd n pitching
Ktnff that compares with any. Tomorrow
we open the season with Philadelphia
Terminal and that 1 the best attraction
we could get. I agreed with Dick Smith
that he plteh Temmy Volz nnd of
course, Werry Butts will be In the
game.
"I never fcnw the people of Brides
burg se Interested and the 6000 new
seats just erected will be nil filled
geed and early. It's going te be a great
year for the semi-pros."
Boosts Association
Bill Oleasen shares the views of
Whitman and says the organization of
the Philadelphia Baseball Association
Is the best thing that ever happened
for the game.
"Yeu get all kinds of comments,"
said Oleasen, "but I have yet te hear
anything unfavorable from a person
who was Informed ns te the true facts.
"One hears a let about booking games
and playing in serlc, but there is no
change in the management of our club
from former years. We play who we
