EMrn C1b Who Want
the Honor.
T"lth the chill November winds at hand
bout the only tlilna; the. golfer can dp 1
to iiwumi the retropeetlve and sea where
ha he made his mistakes and throw out
Mi che-.t a lltt'.e over the hard fought con
tent! which he ha waged and won. And
then the question will confront him as to
where the big event will be held next
year. Thl year the big national open
vent was held at Milwaukee and wan
practically a farce, and most assuredly a
fnllure from' beginning to end. Not only
did extremely cold weather et In that
week, but It rained pitchfork and thus
precluded the possibility of good golf.
While thl waa a matter of dissatisfaction,
yet it wa something with which the golf
er had nothing to do. But on the other
hand, several things happened which reflect
no credit upon those who participated,
when objectionable companion accompa
nied the professional and made thing
very unpleasant. The Milwaukee course
has but nine holes and no sooner had the
tourney gotten under way until It was
recognized that a, mistake had been made
In attempting to hold an event of that
kind over a course of but nine hole. The
link were congested and at every turn of
the way scowling faces wore een. For
thnee reason it Is expected that ome
trouble will be had In securing some golf
course which 1 a bidder for the national
open event. A thl Is a tourney where
professionals have the right-of-way the
general public doe not take that Interest
In It that Is manifested over amateur
vent.
s
Whether the big amateur event will be
contested In the east I now a matter of no
little concern to western golfers, who had
hoped that at lenst this event might be
held In the west and that President George
8. McOrew of the Glen Echo club at St.
IjOuI might be a successful bidder for
the event. The Bt. Louis people are wa
ding for all the events next year, asserting
that golfers' from all over tne umtea
Btates will want to visit the exposition
and that they can Combine pleasure and
golf by having the big contests pulled off
In that city during the exposition.
It is now said that when the national
committee met last year and awarded the
national amateur event to Nassau it was
practically agreed that the event for this
year should go to the Huntington Valley
club of Philadelphia. The Nassau link were
able to get this year' event only through
the support given, by the Philadelphia and
Atlantic City delegates and now It Is set
tip that to deprive Huntington Valley of
thl year' event would be a breach of
trust and ample evidence of bad faith.
Following the eulogy upon the Myopia
course of Massachusetts by Captain Low
of the Oxford-Cambridge golfers. President
G. Herbert Windeler of the National as
sociation has come out flat-footed for the
Myopia course. From a golfer' standpoint
the Myopia cours Is better adapted to a
national amateur event than Huntington
. Valley, but the accommodations in the
matter of train and other kind of service
at Myopia are the worst that could, be
Imagined, while the Philadelphia golfers,
their, well known hospitality and trlt of
"got there,", would have much better serv
ice and make everything more comfortable
for the visiting goirers.
No matter where It goes, the matter of
It locution 1 something which will trou
ble western golfers but little, a they have
not asked for nor made any attempt to
-secure a voice in the council of the na
tional association, and until that is done
' the chance of some western town getting
thl big annual amateur event, - or ' any
Other, for that matter, are mighty llm
indeed, notwithstanding the fact that an
exposition I to be held next year in the
city where It 1 desired the tourney should
be held. .
And this bring back to the golfer on
thl Bide of the Mississippi the question
of loce.tlon of the W Transmlsslsslppl
event for next year. Since the announce
ment was made that it would likely go to
Bt. Louis, there has been no small flurry
among the western golfers, and all are
greed that this would be an unwise thing
to do. It is argued that It should go to
some other town, where there Is not such
a counter attraction as an exposition. Bt.
Paul, Minneapolis and other town are
urged for thohonor, ind It Is said that
the Kansas City people are getting Inter
ested and Intend to make a bid for - the
vent.
H. H. Hilton, the English expert, who
has had the distinction of winning both
the amateur nii! open championship of
Great Britain, write entertainingly on the
art of approaching. According to Milton,
the secret vS uuceVss in approaching Ilea
In flie ablll.y to regulate the backward
wing o as to MCditn the required distance.
Many golfer, uiiihln to do thl, get around
the difficulty In a measure by carrying Iron
weapons laid back at various angles.
All of the leading players in the world are
greed upon the proposition that in ap
proaching He the kernel and secret of
success in golf. A long drive Is entirely
lost if the player la unable to make the
approach. Next to It come the putt. It
1 quite safe to uy that In a game where
a player makes the course In ninety-five
strokes, at least forty-five and perhaps
fifty of those stroke have been made with
the putter.
The reason for thl may not be the same
in all Instances, but In any event they are
not hard to ftr.d. One of the principal rea
son Is due to the fact that the approach
when off the green, with the mashle, ha
not been sufficiently close to tho hole to
make sure of the player holing out In the
next two shots. And If the approach ha
landed Just on the edge of the green, then
the chances are that on the runnlng-up ap
proach with the putter the player will again
fall down and be far enough from the hole
to make three shots on the green necessary.
Thre Isn't a golf course In the I'nlted
States In which a golfer should not make
the greens In three strokes on an averago.
Borne of the greens will require more, some
less, some tnklng but one. Now. If this be
bo. If a player were able to hole his ball In
two shots on an average, he would have
ninety strokes for the round. Now, If to
the greens, which It requires but two shots
to reRch, If the ball was always holed In
two more shots, this would take a stroke
away and reduce the average. And there
is scarcely a round In which a player of
average ability does not secure a three.
This, again, reduces the average. Now, If
to these things the player perfects the ap
proach shot, a wonderful Improvement In
his game will be noted, as It will enable
him to cut off some more strokes and thus
the average of five strokes per hole which
we gave to the person making the course In
ninety strokes will be still further reduced.
It can, therefore, be Been that Hilton was
right when he said that the secret of suc
cess In golf centers around the player's
ability to do approach work.
A rumor ha been persistently circulated
In golf circles of late that the United Btates
Golf association contemplated placing under
the ban of professionalism those persons
who make a living, or add to their income,
by writing on golf. It Is claimed on the
"Inside" that the lending amateur player
and one of the leading woman players of
the country are aimed at. This has not
satisfied the newspaper men and a general
protest has been voiced which bids fair to
make things very uncomfortable for the
governing committee In the United Btates
Golf association. If anything of the kind is
attempted. To the person who knows very
much about the game of golf the fact is
patent that the average writer upon this
subject Is as much at sea as could well be
imagined. To write about golf when the
writer knows little, if anything, about It Is
one of the most ludicrous things In the
world. It seems that if the golf circles of
the United Btates desired to promote golf
the most fascinating game ever devised
they would do everything In their power to
court and Invite the newspaper men and all
others to write upon the subject to their
heart's content. The crusade against the
proposed move which has been Instituted
by the eastern newspaper men has already
made several wrinkles and some gray hair
In the head of the United States Golf as
sociation's leading lights, and If the at
tempt to enforce the contemplated measure
la persisted In something will "drop."
Golfers at the noted Nassau Country club
course are preparing to celebrate on
Thanksgiving day a thing which will be
witnessed by nearly every golf course In
the United Btates. There will be an elgh-teen-hole
handicap against bogey. The
feature of the contest will be the prizes.
They will Include turkeys, pigeons, geese
and pigs. Pumpkins and garden truck In
general will also be included, anything Id
the nature of a cup being barred upon
this occasion. Similar events will te con
tested at both the Field and Country clubs
In this city, although the prizes will not
be of the same kind nor variety.
The. thlrd season of the Woman's Metro
politan Golf association has just come to a
close, and Mis Ruth Underhtll, the secre
tary, ha prepared the usual table of re
sults. The season of 1904 will witness the
continuation of. the association under the
same arrangements. The two winning
teams have received trophies equal In value
and of the same design, while each player
on these two teams received individual
medals. The record of the different club
wa a follow:

A number of the eastern golf courses
have announced some big tourneys for
Thanksgiving. Most of these are handicap
at match play against bogey. For Instance,
If a scratch player makes the course In
bogey, he has quit Just even. If he makes
It a stroke less than bogey he hns bogey
one down, although this may not neces
sarily be so. This Is a game which can
be played In a short while, as when a
player finds that he can not make the bo
gey on a given hole, all he has to do Is to
pick up his ball and walk over to the next
teeing ground and go after the next hole,
providing his companion Is ready. Handi
cap players are given a stroke on certain
holes. Each of the players contributes a
certain sum toward a small prize. In most
cases It la noted that the prize for this
event is something In the way of golf
clubs or balls.
the first time In hi career a golfer
W. C. Fowne Jr. of Pittsburg adopted the
English Method and used a long driver,
and In so doing he surprised himself and
every one present by breaking the record
for the course, making seventy-three, as
against the best previous record of seventy
five, held by AV. J. Travis. The driver
which Fownes used measured forty-eight
and one-half Inches, about four Inches
longer than the ordinary club. HI most
remarkable performance during the day
wa thirty-three, which he negotiated
coming In. The course cover a playing
distance of 5,87? yards.
Milwaukee will have a new golf course
next year. It will be known a the "Blue
Mound" club. The club has secured a
seventy-acre farm on the Blue Mound
road, west of the city. The grounds have
been plowed and seeded ready for work
when the season opens.
Borne of the persons who claim to be an
authority on the subject have caused some
little flurry In eastern golf circle by tak
ing Issue with Travis In his recent book,
wherein he says that the body should be
nearly. If rot wholly, Immovable In put
ting. Those who have differed with Travl
cite the mode of play of nearly every
golfer of note In that section of the coun
try, and reference is made especinlly to
the work of the Oxford-Cambridge golfers,
who putted with deadly accuracy. At the
same time, all of these self-imposed critics
can not get around the fact that Travis
leads the amateur contingent In the United
Btates by long odds, and In two competi
tions against professional In the national
event he has demonstrated that he Is as
good as any of them. Travis has written
the beet treatise on golf the world ever
knew, on either this side or the other side
of the deep pond. It does not go into de
tail, and does not have as many big words
as some other alleged "standard" works,
but for Instruction which the average golfer
can understand and profit by his bock can
not be equaled. The fact of the matter is
that every golfer In the east "has if In"
for Travis. They have attempted by every
means within their power to oust Travis
from his position. Efforts have been made
to fasten the charge of professionalism
and ungentlemanly conduct, and all that
sort of thing on him, but a failure has re
sulted every time.
WHAT THE BOWLERS ARE DOING
All Eyes Torsi to Cleveland, Where
the Ksvtloaal Tomuncit Is
to Be Held.
Continued Interest Is manifested over the
forthcoming national bowling tournament
which is to be held' in Cleveland February
8 to 11. Tho Central armory in Cleveland
has been secured as the place In which the
big contests will be waged. The Indications
are that the attendance of bowlers at this
meeting will be the largest that ever gath
ered at any similar event in the United
Btates. The Cleveland bowlers. It Is said,
enjoy the confidence of the eastern bowlers,
especially the New York contingent. It la
a well known fact that the eastern and
western bowler have been at out now
for some time and bowlers throughout the
United Btates look to the forthcoming event
at Cleveland as a "harmony" session and
hope that all the bitter factionalism will
be done away with.

After Thanksgiving the eastern players
will begin to scatter for the winter, and
Florida and California will be the places
where most of them will go. The Florida
East Coast Golf association Is arranging
a series of open tournaments, to be held
at Palm Beach, Miami, Bt. Augustine and
Ormond. On the west coast there Is an
other association, which Is making similar
preparation for tournament at Tamplco,
Beliealr and Ocala, and between the two
a busy schedule Is promised. In addition
there will be the third annual north and
outh i-hamplonjihlp event at Penhurat,
and the annual Southern Cross champion
ship at-the Palmetto Golf club of Aiken.

GOSSIP FROM TIIE GRIDIRON
0196 of th Season Br ngi th. Annual De
bate at to Leadership,
POPULARITY OF THZ GAME IS ASSURED
Interest of the Publlo Shown by the
Increase A4eta4aare at the Ills;
Matches Paring; the Pres
ent Season.
Thanksg-lvln day. November is, will
practically close the foot boll season of
1!C3. The Army nnd Navy meet In thei
annusl struggle t Franklin Field, Fhlln
delphla In a sort of post season game next
Saturday. A few scattering games are to
be played In the west next Saturday also,
but aside from those the regular foot ball
Reason will come to a clise next Thursday.
The defeat of Ynlo by Princeton and the
poor showing of Harvard against Dart
mouth has taken much of the Interest out
of the last of the big college contests. A
number of Important games are scheduled
for Thanksgiving. Cornell and Pennsyl
vania will meet at Philadelphia, Brown and
Dartmouth at Manchester, N. 1-1., and Am
herst and Williams nt Amherst. The Car
lisle Indians will meet Northwestern uni
versity at Chicago and Nebraska Is put
ting on the finishing touches for the big
battle with Illinois.
The victory of Princeton over Tale was
a victory for open formations, the pet
theory of F. B. Fine of Prlnceon, as ngalnst
the close formations dear to the heart of
Walter Camp. It was the heavy, hammer-and-tongs
attack of Tale in the first halt
which, while gaining ground, tired the
players and made it well-nigh impossible
for them to advance the ball Inter In the
game. The play seemed to show that a
succession of close formations is too (treat
a strain In a game of two thlrty-flve-mln-ute
halves and argues against its efficiency.
The cloancut, open play of Princeton was
more fruitful of results. Had the game
been extended this contrast would have
been more pronounced, because when time
was called the ball was going steadily to
wards the Tale goal line.
The unusual ajid spectacular results of
the foot ball games which were played a
week, ago yesterday, In which goals from
the field played the most Important part,
has already brought about a renewed agi
tation regarding the scoring value of
such features of the game. The only tal
lies which have been made against Tale
this year, except the touchdown by DeWitt
after an eighty-yard run, have been from
field goals. Holy Cross got 2 and West
Point 1. The kick of the Princeton cap
tain, vdjiich won the game this year for
Princetea and irtually the championship
for the Orange and Black Is no new feature
of Tale-Princeton competition. It was a
clever drop kick by Arthur Poe which
brought about a Tiger victory In 1S99. when
Tale had the game well In hand. It was
a kick from the field which enabled West
Point to beat Chicago. On the other hand
Chicago wa but getting a dose of Its own
medicine, for In the ennual Chicago-Wisconsin
game, which wa won by a score
of 15 to 6. Chicago wa unable to make a
touchdown and won by kicking three field
goals. Opponents of the existing rules
claim that 5 points are too many for a goal
from the field as long as a touchdown
brings but the same number. The kick,
aside from a good defense by the team
making It, depends to a great extent on
the ability of an Individual player, yet It
counts a much a a touchdown, which
has been the result of the hardest kind of
rushing In which every member of the
eleven st one time or the other figured.
Under the rules this year there has been
more kicking than ever before and It is
a question with many whether the time has
not now arrived to reduce the value of
the goal kick.
If one thing above another has not been
noted In connection with this season's
foot ball games. It Is the absence of the
numerous fatalities and Injuries which
have marred the game up to this year.
And In this respect, If In no other, the
new rules have done what the committee
which drafted them said they would d3.
Some fatalities have occurred, and per
haps the most disastrous fatality of the
past month was that In which the Indiana
player lost their live In a railroad
wreck. Aside from this, the fatalities have
been few. The number of Injuries has been
correspondingly decreased, although sj
long as the game of foot ball Is played
thers will be Injuries. And now the ques
tion Is being discussed as to whether the
general public has been pleased with the
new rules and whether the game has
Crown In public favor. Like the game of
golf, foot ball 1 comparatively a new
thing, insofar a the general public'
knowledge of the game is concerned. Thou
sand of people go to a foot ball game and
hout and cheer when an end run"br some
epe-cacular performance Is made, who do
not know the A B Cs of the game. Each
year, however, ha witnessed the education
of a larger number In the points of the
game, and that a more general Interest
has been aroused In connection with the
great fall sport I beat evidenced by the
record breaking crowds which have been
attending the game this year.
At Minneapolis during the Minnesota
Michigan game the largest gathering which
ever assembled in the west to witness any
athletic exhibition of any kind was noted
and the proceed of that game were 35,0.X.
The eastern games report a corresponding
increase In attendance and Interest, coupled
with a wider and more general knowledge
of the game. In view of these facts, foot
ball adherents po'nt, to the game Ss having
fairly established Itself In the hearts of
the American people, and it will now be
up to the committee which ha the matter
of the rules under Its control to give tne
west some representation and voice In
these matters. It will be remembered that
the committee which drew up the changes
In the rules was composed altogether of
eastern men. and when the arbitrary
changes were announced tho western foot
ball magnates got together and threatened
to disregard them altogether, but it was
Anally decided this would not be the part
of wisdom and so the new rules were
adopted and have been lived up to.
The showing made by the western teams
Is such as to gain for the western foot
ball authorities, a wider Influence than has
been accorded them up to thl time. The
east has taken it upon Itself to assume
the dictatorial in all matters pertaining to
athletics except base ball. The west 1 not
asked to participate In these matters, and
the time has now come, In the opinion of
the leading lights In the wet, that a
change for the better should be made at
once.
Reviewing the season, therefore, it may
be said that the new rule have taken
with the public and that they have done
much for the good and perpetuity of the
game. It will be remembered that the life
of Rugby wa threatened for a time. Paren
tal objection to "flying wedge' ' and other
cyclonic feature were o strenuous and
general that a modification of the rule
became a necessity and was not prompted
by any dealro for such change on the
part of the athletes themselves.

the new rules? It Is practically conceded
that the attempt to give the quarterback
a chance to show his sprinting powers, by
the creation of the play wherein he can
run with the ball, is a practical failure,
for In no game this season where the
teams have been evenly matched has the
quarterback play cut any figure whatever.
So far, so good. But what about the rest
of the changes? The players don't take
kindly to them and have voiced their op
position in unmistakable terms. The rules.
In general, it is claimed, are all right,
but the rule which makes It necessary to
keep seven men on the line has worked a
hardship upon the back field which has
aroused no little opposition to operating
under this rule another season. As said
by the writer at the beginning of the foot
ball season, the rules have made It 'pos
sible, where two team are evenly matched
In all other respects, the one which has a
single star Individual player will come off
victor, for the reason that the new rules
make the star performer an absolute ne
cessity. With practically no one to act as
Interference, since seven men must be re
tained on the line, how are the backs to
get away with their plays unless one of
their number Is a etar performer. And
how are the .hacks to withstand all the
opposition which centers Itself upon them
unless they are exceptlonably able or In
prime physical condition? Wtere the season
prolonged for any considerable period, it
would be an Impossibility for the backs
to keep from growing stale.
If In no other respect, at least In this.
It seems assured that some changes (will be
demanded here and that the committee
will be asked to permit the backs to have
additional support in the matter of Inter-feronr-9
fnrl the side which has the bail.
The York High school foot ball team,"
which Is to contest with the West Des
Molnea High school on Thanksgiving for
the high school championship of the west,
Is thus spoken of by a writer In the York
Times:
Foot bnll Is brutal and brutalizing. There
Is no doubt of that. It makes men brutes
and even murderers. It corrupts the morals
and debases the man. It Is common talk
among men who travel and gee the teams
away from home that a foot ball team Is
almost always a tough lot. They are
bullies: they swngffer like prizefighters and
have the swing of the slugger. In the York
team Is a colored boy. He Is a stuaent in
the, high school and a good one. He is
polite and modest, but he Is a good foot hall
player. Just es our high school team went
Into the lut gume with Lincoln one of the
best playtrs In that team was heard to say,
"1 will kill that 'nigger' beture the game Is
out." And he nearly did It. There Is no
doubt he tried his best to accomplish It.
The colored boy escaped with his life, and
that was about all. The Lincoln plover
was trying all through the game to commit
murder. It was premeditated and possessed
nil the elements of the capital crime in its
most aggravated form. Foot ball has made
that young man a brutal .murderer. The
fact that the York team has played good
foot ball and has maintained a leputatlnn
for decency and good conduct is highly
creditable to the boys and to the manager
of the team, but it does not make the game
any better.
A similar complaint to that emanating
from York is thus made In the Beatrice
Express:
Numerous severe criticisms have been
made of the liberties which. the members
of roving bunds of foot ball enthusiasts
have taken with public property of late.

The cannon bulls at the four corners of

In this particular case has aroused quite
