Most of the professionals mentioned are past the age where their services would be acceptable In trench warfare, but they are understood to be eager to turn their golfing ability Into material assistance for Kngland. Ray, Vardon and Braid had engaged passage to this country last sum mer, but the sinking of the Lusltanla caused them to abandon the trip. 0'iE-TIME STAR FOR ANSON IS NOW A RICH MILKMAN The marriage ef George (fhef) Bcrch era, veteran ball p!aer, and Mrs: Ada HurdKk was announced recently' at feacrajoento.

Speed Hurlers Are Easier to Hold Than Curve Ball Artists Most baasball players who depend on speed for their getting by are- easier to catch than the fellows who twist and bend their deliveries. Walter Johnson la recognised as the speediest pitcher in the major leagues. When Cabby Street was released It was figured no catcher could replace him with Walter Johnson on the mound. Alnamlth showed It was easy to hold Walter. Now Alnamlth is to go. No doubt but that his successor will not allow Johnson's record or reputation to go. Ai Mamauz has more speed than any member of the Pittsburgh club. Yet Al Is easier to hold than Babe Adams or even Bob Harmon. Marty O'Toole was not noted for his speed when he was up In tha big show, yet George Gibson would rather catch a double-header with tha speed boys working than he would half a dosen Innings with O'Toole on the mound. The corner workers causa the catcher to continually twist and squirm, while the speed ball does not havs such a swerve and It Is easier for. tha catcher to Judge. Alexander has speed and also an assortment that keeps the batter g-ues)ng. but then ha Is not a hard man to work with, according- to BUI KUlifer. The wonderful control of Alexander al lows the catcher to know Just about where the ball Is going to land and the hooks slap Into the glove as though pro pelled with the aim of a rifle. Nap Bucker, slowest ef slow ball pitchers. Is harder to handle behind the bat. says Lew McCarty, than moat of the speed fellows he haa caught. Penn Uni Will Row " At Poughkeepsie PHILADELPHIA, Deo. ;g.R. Howard Elsenbrey, chairman of the University of Pennsylvania rowing committee, said that the Pennsylvania crews positively will row in the big regatta at Pouejhkeepele next year, despite all rumors to tho con trary. Pennsylvania will have three crews at Poughkeepsie this season." Mr. Edsenbrry said. "The only reason that the date of the regatta was not ratified with the reat of the rowing schedule at the board of directors' meeting: I because no date yet has been set by the rowing stewards."

SMITH TAKEN ILL; DATES CANCELLED Crack Tcnpin Artist Cut Out v Sates and Caused Lot Disappointment. MUCH D0H7Q ON THE ALLEYS Failure of Jimmy Smith, world's cham pion bowler, and his partner, Alex Dun bar, to appear on the Huntington run ways Thursday was a disappointment to the local bowling enthusiasts, who were anxious to see these two stars in action. Karl rumor had It that the two ten-pin artists had had a disagreement, which caused all datea to be canoelled. but later developments brought out that Smith was taken sick, and as he was the chief attraction of the pair, the remaining ex hibitions were declared off. The long series of exhibition matches had been a success throughout the Jour ney. The pair won most of their matches, scores were good and large crowds wlt nesed their performances. They were scheduled to appear In Kansas City, t. Joseph. St. Louis, Peoria, Indianapolis, Louinvllle and Dayton. Plenty of Rollins;. There was plenty of excitement around the local drives to keep the pin-tumblers busy throughout the week. The Karnam and Brunswick merry-go-round tourna ments are drawing lots of play and com petition. Joe Berger's Christmas prize contest Is also keeping1 the Morrison drives busy. The big event of the week was Dad Huntington's mixed down-and- out tournament Friday night. Sixteen couples entered the series and rolieT elimination contests. The success of the first one was so complete that another will be staged during the week. All the league races are exciting, espe cially that of the Omaha, league. All the teams are bunched up In the standings and became more so last week when all the second division teams won their series from the first division squads. The Gate City, Boster and Magio City class A or ganizations are pulling off good races.
