Warmaok Se SpOTcmiSHT THK GOLF PRO'S FI TURK. The golf professional's future in the I'nited State"- where the ancient pastime has rolled In like a tidal wave, leads in the direction of two main highways— 1. That of instruction for the player, supervision of the court, service to the club. ' _ 2. That of exhibition and tournament skill. There will always he a certain number who, in addition to their club duties, will l>e able to get away for the leading tournaments of the year. ■ But in the main they will be at a big disadvantage against those who are romping from ono competition to another. There Is a growing demand among golf elubs for good instructors, and j for those who understand the care and conditioning of a course. But (here will doubtless he a lighter club demand for those who expect to do both—to teach and to follow- the prize money of the circuit. The glory, of course, goes lo those vvlio do most of the winning. Those who do most of llie winning are seldom on hand for any membership aid, not eounling, of ronrse, the winter season, when the northern courses are | out of play. Those who make tlicir living by taking the risk of the unfettered highway are entitled to substantial rewards of victory since the uncertainties of golf and the break of luck surpass that of any othrr compel it ion. Moat nrguinent« carry two sides. The average pro, with a first c lass game, would like to get away for as many tournaments as possible. It Is here that most of the advertising waits. But the average duffer, with a kink In his swing, who needs a golf physician lcadly, feels l>etter about it | when his instruetor is on the job most of the time between April and No- ■ vember. It all gets clown to the extreme difficulty which even the most active party finds in being in two separate places at one and the same mo pent. Few can do it vvithvut wrenching something loose. Vet big competitions and attractive exhibitions contribute their snare to the sport and are not to he discouraged. The prize money should be sub- I s'antial enough to help offset the hazards pf shifting touch and form. ON THE OTHER II \NI>. Hear Sir: Alter all, the other side of the Atlantic lias its share of com petitive supremacy. There is no olio over here fo mutch Mile.

Ty Cobb's rliaure to overhaul the Yankees litis season and give the American league a new world series entry depends upon the right anil left arms used exclusively by Ills pitchers. Given good pitching—tnoder tefy good—fhp batting power and the keener leant spirit of the Tigers will trowd the Yanks to the last few feet of the stretch. This Yankee Tiger dyel should he one of the greatest of the decade, a helter-skelter scramble, where, in addition to heavy artillery, tile main Tiger chance wifi consist c in a mote consistent team morale. The Yankees, being more'tempera mental. have a team spirit that rises and sags, whereas Cobh has his hired men on top of fhc job every day of the week. Cobb's greatest handicap comes in attempting to match Buah. Shuwkcy, Hoyt, Maya, Jones and ITnnoek. From (hla sextet Hugging is almost sure to I raw four who ran Htcp along vvlth the stuff, and four first class pitchers are just about enough, with occasional relief. The sharpshooter who can't take aim every fourth or fifth clay Is going tec he tio gieat supporting factor. Vnu will notice that most of the big stars are out there for a whirl at 40 or 4A games a season HITS AM) MISSES OMAHA.

Inc Amateur Rules to Be Altered Revision of rule gocerning semi pros, subjection of amateur managers to association rules, and spec a! pro visions for simon pures who try out tp organized baseball, are highlights in new rules to l>e submitted by the constitutional committee of the Mum cipal Baseball association at a meet ing next week. Heretofore managers have not been under association jurisdiction, but u new rule is to f>e proposed which would give the association authority over the chieftains. It was decided to suggest that a rule permitting two semi-pros on a eluli, providing only one is a battery man. remain in force, hut that it he amended so it cannot be evaded .fc last year. Amateurs who try out with or ganized clubs retain their ama teur status provided they do not sign up and are not a member of an organized club w hen league season officially opens. It was pointed out that Gernandt, southpaw heaver of Omaha sand lot lanks. who Is trying out with the Buf faloes in the south, may return' to the sandlot ranks provided he leaves the dub before the Western season opens. Any club which plays a suspended player will automatically surrender its franchise, according to a rule to be submitted. “Skeeters” to Box for Title cjt mmv X&'tlcl&'.-Z rvclvo Vttta,.

W AI.SU, Internaliunsl Yew* her* Ire Sp*irt* Editor. New York, March 29. — Methods pursued by John MoGraw ami Miller Hoggins In the training of their base ball clubs at San Antonio ami New Orleans, respectively, have beep so diverse, as to occasion considerable comment by observers, most of It (|uito unflattering to the worthy Miller McOraw, it seems, is right, as usual. A winner is never wrong. As the teams prepare for the annual treV northward, much capital is be ing made of this diversity of systems by writers, who do not hesitate to say that MeGraw Is bringing home a team of superior condition. He has stood personally responsible for the training of his ball players and has left nothing to the discretion of Individual mem bers of the club. ' Laxity of Discipline Huggins, on the contrary, ha* left everything to the veteran players, even to the matter of regulating their hours of rest. Stories hate come north about various Tank players roaming the lobby of the hotel at 2 o'elock in the morning, secure In the knowledge that, having been appoint ed t^ieir own keepers, they will not be called to accqunt. This laxity of discipline, of course, violates every principle of serious conditioning, but Huggins takes the stand that a ball player who has la-en in the league five years or more has sufficient steadfastness of purpose to take- pro per care of himself. (•hints All Business. But where Huggins is almost pa ternai in ills indulgence, #McGraw is a martinet. Every player Is accountable to him for what he does on the field by day, and at night he seeks his room at 11 o’clock or the first train out of town. A training trip is as serious as rat poison to him. A Giant camp, in short, is all busi ness. Meantime, the Tanks romp on their merry way.
