would greatly rnhsnce the chances pf put

of the beat performers In their respective

fainted dead awny at the thought of work

Jim Crowley, the new long-distance star
who won the Tonkers Marathon, was until

Serloaa Krlctloat Over Amendment te

NKW YORK, Dec. 19,-Two amendmenta
to the constitution of the I'nlted Statea
Golf association have been auggestcd. but
It la hard to fathom the reason unless the
real object is veiled. There is aome op.
position, particularly in the west, to the
plan of having voting and nonvoting clubs
termed associate and allied, but what end
could be served In changing the names to
active and associate without changing
their meaning la hard to solve. The other
amendment to cut out the clause about the
nominating committee and thus leave the
naming of officers to the open meeting in
dicates that there Is a demand In some
quarters to prevent so far as possible the
executive commute from perpetuating it
self without more or less friction In , the
way of an opposition ticket. Som golfers
seem to have a Idea that th election of
officers at the annual meeting la purely
perfunctory, and It has been, but there Is
nothing In the constitution to prevent the
nomination of a man for any office In open
meeting.

MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE
January Nine Date Selected for
Kansas City Meeting,
IOWA) CITY, la., Dec. l.-(Spclal.)-Th
date selected for the next meeting- of the
Missouri Valley conference committee la
January 9 and the place In Kansas City,
At that time th tangle concerning the data
of the Missouri Valley meet will be settled
and arrangements made for folding It on
a date not conflicting with the Iowa state
meet will be completed.
The members of the association did not
take kindly to the treatment accorded the
colleges at Kansas City snd there Is con
siderable agitation toward changing the
meet to Dos Moines, Considerable discus
sion haa also arisen among the schools rela
tive to inviting a number of outside schools
In this section of the country and thus
make th event ona truly on a par with
th Chicago conference meet. ,
The schools which would likely Join In
such a competition meet, including both
members of the conference and non mem
bers ar: Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Washington, Drake, Ames, Washburn,
Crelghton, Mornlngslde, Bellevue, Grlnnell,
Cornell, Coe, St. Louis university and Ham
line university.
To compare the records made In the
meets last spring of the Big Eight and the
Missouri Valley, the showing made hy the
new organisations does not suffer. In adding
the stars from the smaller schools, which
it is planned to Invite to take part in the
meet, it is believed that the event would
be practically on the same basts as the
"Big Eight." As Iowa Is a member of th
Chicago conference and would naturally
side with the older organization It would
undoubtedly send a team to Chicago If th
two meets were held on the same day.
One of the arguments used for such a
meet Is that there is more Interest In track
athletics In this section of the country
than in tho territory covered by the Biff
Right since the withdrawal of Michigan.
Enthusiasts point to the figures showing
1,000 more attendance at the Iowa atate
meet than at the conference meet In Chi
cago. There too, Iowa schools captured six
teen points and other Missouri Valley
teams not entored were superior to the
Hawkeye track teams.

ENGINES FOR RACING AUTOS
Sis of Cylinders for Machines to Be
Fixed.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19. Inability to agree
as to the method of engine measurement
to be followed by cars entered In th
Brlarcllff race next year. Is responsible
for the failure of the automobile manufac
turers' committee having the rac In charge
to progress further in thedr pinna for the
coming event. Several meetings of this
committee, which is composed of a repre
sentative of each make of car which took
part in Inst year's race, have been held
recently. It is probabl that tho limita
tion will be put somewhere between five
and five and a half inches.
The difficulties connected with fixing
such a bore limitation are the natural j
quence of the efforts of the many manu
facturers to develop their atock cara to
the highest point of power and efficiency.
In doing so many have enlarged the bor
of their cylinder tint JI there ar stock cars
io o nan wun oores as large ana larger
than the limit fixed by th now interna
tional rule, about five and one-eighth
Inches. Other manufacturers still depend
upon smaller bores In their stock produc
tions. To anive at a limit which shall b
satisfactory to everybody concerned is now
taxing the wits of the committee.
But, at any rate, it has. been established
definitely that the race will be run. Where
It will be held ha not yet been decided,
however, and the commute la In what
might be considered as a receptive mood on
tbe subject of possible courses. Whatever
inducements may be presented an In
centive tor holding the race. It can be said.
however, thst the event will not be run
off far from this city. It seems doubtful
now, however, If it will be held again this
year at Briarcliffe. Th time will prob
ably be about the middle of June.

There was only one run In the game made I
by Pittsburg hit a total of twenty base
hits. Pittsburg made eleven hits and one
run. On the same day the Chicago made
eleven hits and one run. The Chlcagos,
however, were worated, as the Bostons
made three runs and fifteen hits. Here
wss a game, therefore, In which twenty.
six hits were made and only four runs;
also only three errors pretty nifty pitching
ty Messrs. Turkey and Brown.
Great nay for Whitewash.
There was high quality of play on Au
gust 23. " The Chlcagos twice shut out the
Brooklyns by a score of I to 0. Clnclnnstl
shut out Philadelphia 1 to 0, and Boston
shut out St. Louis, 10 to 0. Both of the
Chicago-Brooklyn encounters were error
less; Boston played two games on the same
day with only one mlsplay, and there were
only two errors In the Clnctnnatl-Phlladel'
phla melee. New York mad eleven hits,
hut only on run, off Bucker on September
8, but shut Brooklyn out. The next day
Pittsburg mode ten more runs and ten
more hits than Cincinnati, the Pittsburg
totals being 11 snd 17 and the Cincinnati!
1 and 7. Each side was guilty or two
errors, so that only three rumerals figured
In this otherwise diversified battle.
There were nineteen runs and thirty hits
in a game on September 18, In which New
York trimmed Pittsburg. There were nine
teen rum and thirty hits on the same day
In the game In which Cincinnati beat Bos
ton. The losers In each case made twelve
hits to the winners' eighteen, end the re
spective scores wers 12 to 7 and 13 to 1
April 14, the opening day In the American
league, was'one of extremes. One extreme
was represented hy the New York-Athletlo
contest. It was a twelve-Inning Joust and
waa captured by New York, 1 to 0. Th
other extreme was the Chicago-Detroit con
test, won by Chicago, 16 to t. There was a
replica of these happenings on the 17th. St.
Louis beat Chicago 1 to 0 and Cleveland
beat Detroit 12 to . The New York-Washington
game of April 21 was the wildest,
weirdest scramble of the year. The High
landers made sixteen hits, fourteen runs
and seven errors; the Washlngtons made
thirteen runs, ten hits and seven errors.
PeenlUr Combinations. '
The Detroits and Clevelands each made
three run and ten hits on April 26 and th
game lasted ten Innings. There were more
pitcher than errors In the Phlladelphla-
8t. Louis gam of May IS. Thre were two
errors and seven pitchers: Vlekers, Bchllt
ser, Maxwell, Dygert, Pelty, Dlneen snd
Crlss. It wss a merry-go-round of twenty
two hits and twenty-four runs.
Although the Browns pelted the ball for
fourteen hit to Clsvelsnd s nine on May
80 and didn't make an error, they were
neaten s to 4. The New Yorks pounded the
Boston pitching for fourteen hits on June 2
to eight for the Bostons, but lost. Washing
ton laid against the leather for fourteen
hits to the Brown's eight on June I, but
the Browns finished with four runs to
Washington's three, despite thexfact that
the latter had the fewer errors. The Browns
assembled the imposing total of nine er
rors in their game with Boston on June 16.
and Just to b in line the Boston gathered
nine runs.
Three teams New York. Chlcaa-o and
Cleveland made eleven hits apiece on June
18, while three more St. Louis, Boston and
Washington were busy for twelve hits
apiece. June 21 found great minds running
in mo same cnannel In error making. In
the St Louis-New York game each side
supplied three errors; In the Chicago-Bos
ton game each made one; In the Detroit
Washington game each, made two. There
was a maximum of hitting and a minimum
of scoring and error making In the gamo
of June 25 between Boston and Washington,
and It must have been a fine one to watch.
Boston made two runs, fifteen hits, one
error; Washington made one run, ten hits.
two errors.
Some Flarnres In On Game.
Washington's totala on July 9 were t, S
and 2, to Chicago' 6, 3 and 2. That was
one Instance of th same figures, but with
all th difference in the world In the way
they were grouped. Th worst drubbing
of the year was administered by the De
troits to th Athletic on July 17. The
score was 21 to 2. The Detrolto flsyed the
Athletlo pitcher for twenty-seven safe
drives. Sevens wer conspicous In the New
York-Detroit fracas of July 18, but weren't
lucky sevens for the New Yorks. They made
on run, seven hits and seven errors; De
troit mad seven runs, seven hits and no
errors one run for every New York mls-
piy.
August 17 came to the front with two tie
games and with six hits each by three of
the contending clubs and seven by the
fourth. August 28 was prominent because
of four whitewashings. New York blanked
the White Sox and the Detroit did likewise
to. the Athletics. The Washlngtons did
themselves proud by whitewashing the
Clevelands twice. Four games were played
between the New York and White Sox on
August 2S and , and three of them were
notabl for their closeness. New York won
one, 1 to e, and Chicago won th two others,
I to 1 and 1 to 0.
In four games on September 18 the losing
teams mad the scant total of three runs
and ten hits, an average of two and a half
hits each and lesa than one run each. In
th three game of September 0 the three
losing teams mad a total of two run and
ten hits. The Whit Sox harvested twelve
runs off eight hits sgalnst the New Yorks
on September 28, and on the same day the
Detroits could raise only a meager three
runs from twelve hits made off Plank of
th Athletics.
NEW YORK'S GREAT AUTO SHOW
Mad laen Sqaar Garden fa See a
W'enerfl Display.
NEW YORK. Dec. ll.-Slnce the big auto
mobile shows began to be held In Madison
Square Garden each successive year has
witnessed a marked Improvement in the
decorative scheme used for the occasion
until, during the last four years, th in
terior of th famous old exposition hall has
been made notably more magnificent for
the exhibit ot motor ears than for any
other event In the place. A praissworthy
fact In connection with this dressing of the
place is what the progress has been from
the merely elaborat and ornat toward
the chaste and elegant.
At th forthcoming show, January 19-3,
under th auspice of th Association of
Licensed Automobile Manufacturers, the
step In this direction wilt be mors marked
than ever before. Ther will be magnifi
cence and elaborateness, but ther win be
lea profusion, more simplicity and more
richness In the general scheme. Ther will
be a gratifying lark of the plaster statues
seen in former years and a tone of more
solidity will prevail, aa being more broom
ing to th standard make ef th oldest
automobile makers that always comprise
the Garden show.
One of the few really showy piece of
decoration this season will be a sort of
garden fountain near th Madison avenue
entrance. This Is In th form of a low
abutment ef gray atone, curving about th
first exhibition space facing th entrance.
It will have a trotigtillk basin. Into which

PRINCETON GYMNASTS WORKING
Development Of Team Is Getting; Seri
ous Consideration.
PRINCETON, N. J.. Dec. 19. Serious
consideration is "being given at Princeton
university toward th development of a
gymnastic team which will perform as
creditably as the one last season, when
the Tiger combination won the intercol
legiate gymnastic meet after both Prince
ton and Pennsylvania had been defeated
in dual competition. Of the squad of last
winter three men havo been lost through
graduation, one of them being E. W.
Mecabe, who was one of the best gymnasts
who ever represented the . Orange and
Black. Scott end Crawford are the other
two men who are missing this season.
Captain Dowd, a senior, is depended upon
by the coaches this season to do the major
hare of Princeton work in the coming In
tercollegiate meet. Dowd won first place
in the horizontal bars In four meets last
season, was second In the parallel bars
in the dual engagements with Yale and
Pennsylvania and third in the intercol
legiates, and In tumbling ho took second
place against Yale and Pennsylvania, and
waa third in the intercollegiate. In the
latter meet he secured third place in the
individual championship.
The other men who are trying for the
team are Pope, Ward, Coopor, Clark,
Vezln, Dennlston, Felgenspan, King and
Laughlln. Pope won the intercollegiate

IMAGINATION FOE TO GOOD GOLF
Fooale Pn Dae ta Mental Attltade
of riayer.
NEW YORK. Dec. 11 The game of golf
consists cf two great parts, and one of
these ia putting. It Is a curious fact that
while there Is no reason on earth why all
of us should not be able to acquit our
selves well on the green, very few of us
do. Putting looks so easy, and yet "how
easily things go wrong."
Imagination Is the worst foe cf good
putting. The fear of what may happen
causes the worst to take place. The un
imaginative man sees no hidden dangers In
the line of his putts. He fearlessly bangs
the ball up to the hole and not Infrequently
goes In. while others who crouch behind
th ball and examine fearfully the diffi
culties of slope and distance, send th ball
In every direction but the right one. It ir
unquestionably true that many player
miss putts by allowing their Imagination
too much freedom.
Without doubt putting is the most im
portant stroke In the gam of golf. When
on stop to consider that a six-Inch putt
counts for as much In the score or on the
match aa a 160-yard drive, he realise th?
receaslty for devoting 1.1s full power of
concentration on each one of the ahorl
shots that should place hi ball in the cup.
Ther t no possible excuse for th bad
putting of many golfer except imagina
tion, overconfldence or lack of practice-
Any real golfer of experience can hole a
reasonable putt with a rleek. a rrdlron. a
mash I, or even a driver or braaey. II
kL w where to hit .the ball and can find
a lln to th hot. Yt when b get tn a
match and use hi pet putters h makes
unaccountable mistake In the hollngsput
process that make him Io confidence.
Th next stag of th disease is to become
green shy, when he cannot hole anything
over two Inches long. Th best cur for
weak putting Is to practice putting.

la Hew York.
NE5W YORK. Dec. 19. Jen Drtecoll, th
legitimate featherweight champion of Eng
land, and Owen Moran, th clever English
bost. will t matched to meet la a twenty-
TO
round bout at the National Dporting club
of London the latter part of next month for
a purse of 17,600 and the featherweight
championship of England. Matchmaker
"Peggy" Bettlnson of th National Sporting
club has notified both fighters that he will
give them that purse to battl for, and as
they know perfectly well that they can't
get that sum to fight In this country they
have decided to accept it.
GOOD CATCHERS ABE IN DEMAND
Backstop Abont the Seareeat Thing;
lat Baa Ball Today.
NEW YORK, Deo. 19. About the scarcest
thing in base ball circles these days are
promising young catchers. Men who can
make good in fast company are few and
far between, though the minor league crop
of backstop gathered In by the big league
cluba this fall look better than for several
years past. But the question is, csn they
make good In the big league next season?
Clark Griffith, In talking on this matter,
said: "I thought I had landed, a prise a
couple ot years ago when I landed a cer
tain catcher. I had watched hl's work In
the minor league for two years and It
looked as if he was the roods. I finally
got a chance to gat thla fellow In a trade
and I grabbed him. I no sooner had him
on the club than I discovered that, barring;
an ability to catch and throw as well ss
hit a little, he did not know anything, ila
really don't know how to sign a pitcher to
throw a curv ball. Yet he was a minor
league star."
It la a strange thing that demand for,
players seem to run In circles. Several
years ago third basemen were the scarcest
thing on the market. Then came a slack
supply of first seekers, followed by a
hunt all over the country for good short
stopa. Second basement have been fairly
plentiful for a number of years. It would
look as if a lot of the young players could
better themselves a whole lot if they would
try to develop Into good catchers Instead
of pitchers or fielders.
