Inasmuch as Mr. Kvans left Us race out he has heeu luackeied with Fownes and Travis as the three best golfers In the country. He says: " I lae left out 'Chan KRan. because I would have to put him lower thun he deserved, since I would Jud hi in on his play this year." Two other national champions write a follows: Walter J. Travis, "No. thank you. I am not looking for trouble." This Is due tb the fact that he is the editor of the American Golfer. Robert Gardner, na tional champion. !!, says: "I should like very much to oblige you with a rating, but t hardly consider myself capable of drawing one up as I know very little about the east ern tfolfers. However, Z think Evans Is easily first, with Mason Phelps near him. About the rest 1 do not know." William C. Fownes. national champion, IHlfl: Travis. Travers. Kvans. Kyers. Hen eshoff. Yuckerman.

H. Chandler Egan, national champion 1904. IMS. national runner-up. 19"9, In declining to pick the team, gave as his reasons: "I confess that it Is a great temptation to jrlve one's opinion of the twenty best amateurs In the country in the face of such i unking list.s as 1 have seen so far. How ever, as I have so far refrained, I hardly feel that 1 can consistently Kive such a list for publication. It is difficult for any one man to have a clear and complete idea of the merit of golfers beyond his own Immediate territory, 'because. In my mind, it Is unfair to judse the season'a play by one tournament. This has seemed to be the error of one man In particular, for the national tourney at Brookllne seems to have had a large Influence In Ihe placing of the men. There is a tremendous differ ence between two lists, one of the twenty best players and another of twenty men who made the best showing the last sea son.

The late Stanley Ketchel wanted $15,000 bonus to fight Sam I -aim ford In Nevada last year, but the match did not materialise because l.angford Instated upon a winner's and kiser's cut up. Two jears ago Nelson was aaked to box hi one of the local clubs, but he stunned the matchmaker with a demand for $10000 win, lose or draw in a ten-round i ontest. All ilasiea of pugilists by the way, are making exorbitant demands for their ser vices, with the result that athletic clubs are backward In arranging lop-notoh bonis al Ihe risk of loving mone . Poers w ho would have readily accepted $.VO or $I.OoO for their seniles in short bouts ten years mn now scorn such offers and prefer to remain idle. Hugh I .

Oarry Herrmann still sticks to hl scheme of a 112-Bame schedule, followed hy an Interleaaue series and will doubtless urge It upon the major leagues at their annual meeting- next February. He savs: "Things would have he" different if my new schedule plan had been In effect. The (Hants, for instance, mlaht have been very close to the world's championship, as they plated their best games In September, when it was too late lo overhaul the Cuhs. The same may be said of the High landers who came with a rush at the fin ish and clinched second piece. If the new schedule of InlerleaKiie Barnes had been played, the American and the National leag i's would have placed separate sched ules of 112 Kms each, winding up alioul the first wrek In August. Then thy Would hae begun a schedule of Inter leKue Mini", each "earn plaiing eixhl EHines with every nil fir team, with a Mind-up on October i:,. or even later.
