NEW TOUK. Oct 1. Golfers who neither

recent national championship tournament
At Broookllns, Maaa., now realise the all
too apparent need for a change, so far aa
eligibility condition! go. Heretofore all
that ha been required of peraon to make
Mm eligible to compete In the blue ribbon
vent of the year has been for him to be
a member of some club belonging to the
United States Golf association. The result
this year waa the unprecedented entry,
which all but demoralized the officials,
In other words, after being snowed under
with the hitherto unheard of mass of 203
starters, committeemen admit that the time
for action has arrived; in fact Is impera
tive. When It becomes Impossible to get
the field around before dark on the first
day, a certain element of luck, not to say
Injustice, creeps in.
Take, for Instance, the case of Robert A.
Gardner, the title holder. Here waa a
player, because of an unusually late start
unable to finish his first eighteen-hole
round the same day, being compelled to
piece It out from where he left off early
the following morning. It so happened that
the conditions were not bad the next morn
ing, so hat Gardner got In the first sixty
four. What chance would he or any of
the other belated ones have stood if a vio
lent storm had sprung up In the Interim?
One trouble with the amateur champion
ship seems to be the burning desire on the
part of so many of the players of averago
mertl to "get In the game." Thoy never
have more than an outside chance to win
ordinary Invitation or open tournaments,
where good players are In the minority,
consequently what possible use are they
when arrayed against the cream of the
JandT -
Views of Lelsrh ton Collins.
Lelghton Calkins, the man who did so
much toward the revision of ' the United
States Golf, association constitution last
winter, has expressed himself as follows:
"Since the amateur' championship held at
Brookltne I have been asked by several
persons whether, In my Judgment, a na
tional handicap committee could undertake
the rating of all players who are members
of United States Golf Association clubs
so as to produce a list from which candi
dates for the principal event qf the year
could be chosen, limiting entries, for ex
ample to players rated at six or lower.
"Frankly, I do not think the work could
be done properly, or, rather, thoroughly,
and if not It would better not be under
taken at all. There are many reasons why
the work would fall, and It will suffice to
name a few. In the first place, the national
committee would be fortunate If it got re
turns from 80 per cent of the club That
would mean. In the National association,
at least sixty clubs out of 300 that would
either not be heard from at all or from
which the returns would be so Inadequate
as to be absolutely valueless. I have served
for six years on the handicap committee
of the Metropolitan Golf association, and It
woVld amaze the average golfer to know
the difficulties which are encountered In
getting proper returns out of an associa
tion of sixty clubs.
"In the Becond place, the larger the as
sociationthat la, the greater the number
of clubs making returns the greater chance
of error rfnd of Inequitable rating. For after
all Is said and done, good handicap returns
never can be had from a club which has
not a good handlcapper. All systems break
down If the work Is done by Incompetent
or careless officials. In addition to these
reasons are many others equally weighty.
mich as the matter of expense, amount of
, labor Involved, eta It would be a hercul
ean task and would occupy an amount of
time and work out of all proportion to the
very best results which could possibly
be accomplished.
Mnst Keep Field Dowi,
"On the othor hand, something must be
done to keep the else of the field In the
amateur championship within reasonable
bounds. The present playing conditions
are the best we have ever had probably
much the best that can be devised for a
tournament which Is to be run off In six
days. Not only are all the match-play
rounds except one at thirty-six holes, thus
assuring a real test of merit for the six
teon-claaa players who remain to battle for
the title, but th first day is entirely
given up to a single elghteon-hole medal
play round. In order to accommodate as
large a field as possible. This is not
strictly a qualifying round. It is rather a
preliminary, or elimination, round, after
which all but thirty-four players drop out
What these sixty-four players can do in
an elghteen-hole medal play round on
Tuesday morning really determines the
thirty-two players to qualify although the
cores on both days are added together.
"Now, In theory, this Idea of an elimina
tion round on Monday Is perfect It broke
down this year for the first time owing
to an unprecedented entry list of mors than
players. There were more than 100
pairs which can hardly be started off
much better than on a five-minute head
way. We always work for a four-minute
headway, but seldom live up to it. A five
minute headway means 500 minutes, or be
tween eight and nine hours separating the
first pair and the last In starting from
the first tee. If the first pair Is sent off
at 7 o'clock, the last pair will get off about
3:30, and if there has been no hitch the
last pair win get In some time after
At ftrookllne. as we know, darkness ac
tuaily prevented several players from fin
ishing.
"What shall the remedy be? It Is per
fectly apparent that a field of more than
lft) or ltto players Is absurd in an amateur
championship. There are no sideshows to
the blue ribbon event of the year, no sec
ond or third stxteens, no teaten eights or
handicap events. Players of only average
ability have no real place In such an event
Buch players ought to have enough golfing
public spirit, not to say, modesty, to sta
at home during the second week of Septem
ber unless they care enwugh about the
game to look on once In a while and see
' how it really Is played.
Campaign of KdaeaUloat Needed,
"My suggestion, in a word, would
first to try the effect of a campaign of
education. Make It an unpopular thing for
sjuch players to enter. There are various
Ways In which this could be done. A suit
able declaration of principles could
drafted for the next annual meeting and
circulated among the clubs, requesting
Ihem to advise players of no real ability not
to enter. Finally, the executive committee
could be given full power. In Its absolute
discretion, to exclude such player as
believes to have the least chance, In case
the entry Hat exceeds a - certain numb;
The program or announcement of the tour
nament might contain some such notice aa
ttiis:
" 'While this event Is open to all a res
taurs In good standing who are members of
clubs belonging to this association. It
requested that players refrain front enter
ing merely for the purpose of satisfying
their curiosity as to whether they are able
to qualify In the preliminary round. The
executive committee of the association has
full power. In Its absolute discretion, to
limit the field to MO, and determine on the
best Information at hand those of unde
serving rank or skill. No player thus ex
cluded shall be entl'led to a return of the
fee sent In with his entry.'
'1 rather fancy that some such regulation
would serve to keep out the near duffer,
and by trying the experiment one would
deter any really good player from sending
In his entry. Of course It Is not desirable
to do anything which would result In too
shall a field or In one not thoroughly rep
resentative. But it ought not to be Im
possible to establish a kind of champion
ship etiquette, or custom, which would
serve the purpose at hand."

Johnstone, umpire, picks the Chicago
Cubs to beat the Philadelphia Athletics
In tlie world's- championship series this
fall. Johnstone and Klera were the Na
tional league umpires tor the Pittsburg
Detroit series last fall.
"It looks to me as though -the, Chi
cago catchers will stop the Athletics,"
said Mr. Johnstone. "Chance has two
of the greatest catchers In the game In
Kllng and Archer. Archer has a better
arm than Kllng, but 'Johnny la a wise
old owl behind the bat and his arm Is
plenty good enough to stop the best bass
runners in the game.
"Livingstone, Thomas and Lapp will
hardly be compared with Kllng and
Archer by the most rabid American
league rooters. Kllng and Archer rank
with Bresnahan, Dooln, McLean, Gibson
and the other star receivers of the Na- j
tlonal league. On the other hand, they
tell me that Street of Washington,
Sullivan of Chicago and Carrlgan of
Boston are the premier catchers of the
American league.
"It will take good throwing to keep
the Cubs from running the bases and
scoring runs. American league fans
seem to think that Flank, Bender and
Coombs will prevent the Cubs from
getting on. Of course. If the Athletlo
pitchers can keep Chance's men from
getting to first the Philadelphia back-
tops will have a comparatively easy
task.
'But I don't think there Is a pitching
corps In base ball that can stop the Cub
hitters. Hofman, Chance, Tinker, Ever.
Schulte and Kllng are all going good.
The best pitchers in the National league
have not prevented the Cubs from hitting
the pill. I don't think the Philadelphia
pitchers will fare any better against
Chicago than the National league twirling
tars.
If ' the Cubs get to first it takes a
great catcher to prevent them from mov-
ng around. Chance's men will run the
sacks wild on a poor throwing catcher.
The Athletics' pitchers are nearly all ex
perienced men, who know how to watch
the bases and chain runners to the sacks,
but the catcher must also be there with
hie part of the proposition a good arm
and ability to get the ball away fast
That a the only way you can prevent
Chance's men from making runs after they
get on.
"At that I think Philadelphia will give
Chicago a stlffer argument that Detroit
did In 1907 and 1908. Chicago has a wonder
ful base ball machine. There Isn't a weak
spot In the whole works. Hofman, Sheck
ard and Schulte are going great In the
outfield, and in the Infield la a regular
stone wall. I've heard a lot about the
famous old stone wall Infields of twenty
years ago. Up In Detroit they will tell you
that the Detroit bunch In 1887 Brouthers,
Dunlap, Rowe and White was the king of
all Infields. Veteran fans In Chicago still
swear by the old White Stocking Infield
Anson, Pfeffer, Williamson and Burns,
Down In New York the old-timers are still
talking about the New York infield of 1888
Roger Connor, Dan Richardson, 'Johnny'
Ward and Arthur Whitney.
"Now, I have seen them all work, and you
can take It from me that for general value
to a ball club, tiro Chicago National .In
field of 1906-7-8-9-10 is the greatest that
ever came down the pike.
"Barring the unexpected, I think the 1910
series will prove the most Interesting ever
staged. Mack's team looks like a far
stronger aggregation than the one he tried
for the world's championship In 1906. Harry
Davis, Dannie Murphy, Eddie Plank, 'Chief
Bender and 'Topay' Hartsel are all that is
left of the 1905 Athletics team. Mack will
enter the series this year with a better In
field and a far better outfield. But I can't
say as much for his catchers. If they hold
up their end of the battle the result is
going to be a whole lot cloeer than a lot of
persons Imagine."
PROSPECTS AT AMES ABE POOR

Untried Men Make V Soaad and
First Came Only Week Away.
AMES, la, Oct 1. FpeclaJ.) With
the first game of the season scheduled
fori next Saturday and only about twenty
five varsity candidates reporting daily
for - practice, prospects for a champion
ship team at Ames are anything but en
couraglng. New and untried material,
however, does not discourage a man like
Coach Williams and for the past two
weeks he has spent the greater part of
U.e time tn familiarising the men with
the new rules.
Trainer Jack Watson has been on the
field since school opened and has the
men In fine condition for the early games
Assistant Coaches Low and Hubbard
have been working hard with the re
serves and the way the "scrubs" have
held the varsity in the early crlmmages
Is certainly a credit to the assistant
coaches.
Elliott Ketman and Fulton, three of
Ames' most promising linemen have not
returned to school and their loss will be
greatly felt by the team. Troeger, a last
year's tackle. Is back In sohool, but he
has not fully recovered from an Injury
received at Drake last season and has
not reported for practice.
"Busty" Harte, the consistent half of
last season's team, has returned to
school and has been out for practice the
last few nights. Among the most promis
ing candidates of last year's freshmen
l am are Juhl, Crawford, Hunt McDonald
and Scott
The men who have reported for dally

WASHINGTON, Oct 1 Clyde Milan,
the speedy outfielder of the Washington
American league base ball team, cornea
from Linden, Tenn., which Is a typical dent
In a mountain. Hardly an acre of the
stubby ground Is on the level. There Milan
learned to play base ball. The diamond
waa the main artery of the town, and noth
ing served to disturb the boy but the bray
of a gracing mule.
Stones hedged the limits of the Infield,
and even today the body of Clyde Is cov
ered with scars, mute testimony to the
obstacles which he surmounted to practice
at base ball. Linden has never seen a
game of ftrofeostonsj base ball. Even to
day a game of professional ball Is as
horrifying to the mountaineers aa a viola
tion of the decalogue, and In some of the
native minds base ball playing is regarded
as a cardinal sin.
Milan picked up a newspaper one day and
read about base ball. Hla Interest waa
Immediately stimulated, and he peered
further Into the matter of learning the
game. He secured one of the guides, got a
base ball through a mall-order agency and
began to learn to play.
. He Interested a few other youngsters of
the village, and they formed a team that
used to play according to Linden rules, and
their game was similar to the old-fashioned
"three-old-cat" Of all those boys, Milan
was the only youngster who continued his
course till he reached a major league, and
in his native town today he Is regarded as
a suspicious person because he plays pro
fessional ball.
Seeks Better Field.
One night Milan concluded that his base
ball horison was too limited In Linden, and
he searched for an opportunity to play
ball where the scope was broader. He hap
pened to be reading a newspaper In the
village one way when his eye caught on
an article advertising for ball players in the
town of Blossom, down In Jexas.
Milan was then nothing but a mere boy.
but he made up his mind at onoe. He went
home, packed his things, and then started
on a long tramp to the Lone Star state. His
feet were bruised, his clothing was satu
rated with fine dust he waa leg weary and
bodily sore when he arrived at Blossom.
But his pluck was a predominant note in
his make-up, and he went right to the
manager of the ball team.
Milan told him who he was, what he was
and what he wanted, Milan waa so green
that he had trouble getting past the steers
without getting hurt and when the man
ager point blank asked him where he played
he said for lack of better knowledge; "I'm
an lnfielder."
The manager told Milan to get Into the
harness and hold down second base. Clyde
went out with his uniform on wrong side
out he was so green, but he watched the
other players. He saw that everybody was
placed but himself, so he trotted to second
and started his career.
Ho Makes Hit at Bat.
His fielding the first day was a bit erratic
and bis errors were consecutive, but he
could hit the ball hard. He hit everything
and anything. The fans greeted him up-1
roarously when lie slammed out his fifth
hit but Milan was thinking of the errors.
But the fans soon settled his mind on that
score, and immediately Clyde gave his
attention to hitting.
Now, Texas rivalry Is of the lively va
riety, and Blossom and Clarksvllle had
crossed the Rubicon In that respect Dode
Crlss, the pinch pitcher and hitter of the
St. Louis Browns, was making a big repu
tation as a twlrler on the Clarksvllle nine.
The first game of the series was scheduled,
and therein Milan made hla name a mem
ory In Blossom.
Cries could not fool him and he made a
hit every time he came to the bat Not
content with this feat he made the spec
tacular catch of the day with the bases full
In the ninth, and Cries batting. Dode at
that time was a hard hitter. He met one
with all the strength of his lean shoulders.
and sent It on a line. Milan heard the
crack, and just stuck out his gloved hand.
The ball hit the Indentation in his glove
and stuck. The catch won the game. How
ever, Texas base bill does not always pay.
Falling to get bis salary, Milan moved
again.
Joins Shawnee Team.
He landed tn Shawnee, Okl., played there
a while, and then again found that he could
not collect with any degree of regularity.
Milan then turned up in Wichita, Kan.,
where he played until the spring of 1907.
when Joe Cantlllon happened to be scout
ing In that vicinity and engaged the young
ster for his Washington team. He has since
remained, but Linden looks somewhat
askance at Clyde. As he says:
"I spend my winters at Linden, but folks
down there don't know anything about base
ball. They think It strange that X get paid
for playing the game. And when I tell
them that there are as many as twenty-five
of us traveling around the country and
staying at good hotels just to play base ball
they look at me In a doubtful sort of way,
and I have to be careful to hold the facts
down as much as possible to keep from
getting a reputation of being a fibber."
Milan today is regarded as one of the
best outfielders In the American league. He
has been greatly handicapped all season by
the effects of an Injury that has kept him
from doing his best work, and yet he fig
urea among the best In the league.
No New Plays
in Base Ball,
Says Veteran
Dan Brouthers Declares Players
Worked Bants and Steals
Twenty Years Ago.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1. "How many new
plays have been discovered in base ball In
the last twenty years?" asked the in
quisitive man of Dan Brouthers.
I don't know of any real new ones,"
replied the veteran. "They don't do much
that they didn't do when I played ball.
There Is a little difference. Some moves
are made with more frequency and team
work Is more common among clubs."
"How about the buntT"
"Nothing to that! There's a man coach
ing every day for the New York Base Ball
club who twenty years ago could bunt
more skillfully than most of the players
on the field today and as skillfully as the
experts, for all that I can see."
"You mean Latham, we may take It?"
"I certainly do. This squeexe play which
they talk so much about I saw hap;pen
on the ball field, although the batter used
to chop at the ball, rather than bunt it."
"How about the delayed steal?"
"Nothing to It Old players used to do
It, and they used to say that they were
blamed idiots for taking such chances on
the bases. They weren't so critical then
about picking plays and putting fancy
names on them. If anything happened out
of the ordinary that is, the ordinary run
of luck they'd say after the game was
over. 'That was a streak of luck and the
club was fortunate to get away with a
victory.' That's what we used to get.
None of your delayed steals and sacrifice
killers and such things."
"But there wasn't any sacrifice."
"No, there wasn't That is, exactly of
the manner that it Is made today, although
when managers saw the trend of the
times, that base ball was getting more
and more to be a game In which one run
would be a great factor In winning, they
trained their clubs to go after the sacri
fice as much as any other play. Yet I
have known times when we used to play
out in the lake cities when we sacrificed.
Did it deliberately, too. No picayune luck
about It Simply jumped in and took a
chance on getting out to get another fellow
around. That'll vi.rs ago, and that's why
I tell you that there are no new plays.
They're all old, every one of them, and It's
only the frequency of some of these so
called plays, agalnBt their scarcity, years
gone by, which induces Imaginative flolks
to think that they see something that we
didn't know."
"Some folks say that -they have better
base runners now than they did years
ago."
"They do, do they? How old are they?
Did they make their acquaintance with
base ball since 1890, or have they been In It
or seen since 1880? Better base stealers,
eh? Bring on a few. Where Is there one
better than 'Ned Williamson? How about
Harry Stovey? What of 'Buck' Ewlng and
'Mike' Kelley and Fogarty and about forty
others that I could name If It were worth
while? Better base stealers? Let me tell
you something. When people say anything
like that you tell them to stop reading
these romances about base ball and go
somewhere and borrow for you can't buy
them a few copies of the older editions of
the base ball guides and then come around
and tell us what they found In them In
regard to base runners."

BILLIARD SCHEDULE IS MADE
experts Cnnae Formation of I.eagrne
and rirrnlt for Games.
NEW YORK, Oct. L-Owln to the efforts
of Jack Doyle, Maurice Daly and like
champions of the game of billiards, the
great Indoor game promises to come Into
Its own In the very near future. Unlike
many others who have attempted to build
up Interest In this sport the men who are
now furnishing the Impetus to the amateur
phase of billiards are progressing along
well defined plans which can have but one
culmination success.
The formation of the National Billiard
league and the .adoption of a schedule
founded along the lines of a list of dates
drafted for some professional base ball
circuit are steps in the right direction. The
fact that eight of the largest cities In the
east and west are united in this organisa
tion Is convincing proof that the project
of establishing interest In billiards jumped
Into reality with one tremendous bound aa
a starter. The league Includes Kansas
City, St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburg, Phila
delphia, Boston, Brooklyn and New York.
This week three-cushion play began in
all of these cities to decide just what single
player will represent them as the traveling
player. According to the rules of the Na
tional Billiard league that body Itself shall
decide upon the amateur status of the play
ers. The expenses will be defrayed by the
teams they represent but positively no sal
aries will be paid.
There will be but one traveling player to
represent each city, but there is no limita
tion attached to the number of contestants
who may represent the home academy m
the three nights' matches of fifty points
each at three-cushion billiards. In other
words, if one local amateur falls to show
anything against the visitor In the first
night's play another can be pitted against
him the succeeding night the only requisite
being tha,t the player be In good standing
aa an amateur.
At least $1,000 worth of prises will be
distributed among the players of the first,
second, third and fourth teams to finish
in the race. Individual prizes will also be
awarded to those making the highest runs
and highest averages.

HANOVER, N. II., Oct. 1. There Is a
strong probability that the track and field
forces of Dartmouth college, which are
coached by Harry L. HUlman, jr., will be
augmented this fall by the presence of Bill
Martin, the wonderful sprinter of the Seat
tle Athletic club. Martin gained his ath
letic spurs last year by winning the senior
national 100-yard championship In 0:10ft
from a field composed of W. F. Dawbarn
of Princeton and New York Athletlo club,
W. W. Day, University of Illinois, and W.
F. Hamilton of the Chicago Athletlo asso
ciation. There is but one condition that
can keep Martin away from Dartmouth,
but tha is quite an important one exam
inations. The Seattle flier is now here to
take the Dartmouth tests. He is a grad
uate of Whitman academy, one of the
orack preparatory schools of the Paclflo
coast, so he should have little trouble In
matriculating at Dartmouth.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 1. Tex Rams

collegiate champion sprinter and fullback
on last season's foot ball team, will not
play the autumn game this year. It Is said
that Ramsdell did not enjoy several ses
sions on the substitute bench last season,
but the main cause of his desertion from

Ramsdell Is another example of the crack
sprinter being poor foot ball timber. He,
like most other runners, prefers to run and
Is afraid of his legs. It Is doubtful if the

CURES
JMJDIfl PDISDN
The only way to cure Constitutional Blood Poison is to REM0YE its
cause from the blood. Trying to kill the cerms within the svstem or coun
teract disease cells in the circulation with powerful mineral medicines not
only results in failure, but also weakens the more delicate and vital tissues,
and allows the original trouble to attack other portions of the body.
It is solelv on the orincicle of nurifvinp the Wood that S. S. S.
cures Contagious Blood Poison, and it does this because it is the one
blood medicine that is able to remove every particle of the insidious
virus from the circulation. It does not work on the principle of killing
one poison by taking another, or trying to dry up the germs m the
Diooa, but b. s. b. cleanses the circulation and KtMUVtS the cause.
Contagious Blood Poison is a deceptive and stealthy trouble. It
begins in an insignificant manner, usually the appearance of a tiny
pimple or sore being the only outward evidence of its presence. . But
down in the blood the treacherous Infection is at work, and in a short
time the victim hnds his body is affected from head to foot. The
mouth and throat ulcerate, skin eruptions break out, sores and ulcen
appear on the body, brown splotches disfigure the skin, the glands in
the groin swell, and as the poison becomes more thoroughly saturated
into the blood trie hair and eyebrows come out.
Contagious Blood Poison is too dangerous to trifle with. Medi
cines which merely check the progress of the poison for a time and
leave the insidious germs smouldering in the blood, have brought
misery and disappointment to thousands. Faithfully they took such
treatment for months, perhaps years, only to find when it was left off
that the vicious disease was ready to crop out again in all its former
destructiveness.
Contagious Blood Poison can
be cured only when the blood has
been made pure. This is just
what S. S. S. does and has been
doing for forty years, and it does
it so perfectly that not the slight
est trace of the old infection is left

COVERED WITH SORES.
I was afflicted with a terrible blood
disease, which was in spots at first,
but afterwards spread all over my
body. These soon broke out into
sores. Before I became convinced
that the doctors could do me no good
I had spent a hundred dollars. I then
tried various patent medicines, but
they did not reach the disease. When
I had finished my first bottle of S. S. S.
I was greatly improved, and was de
lighted with the result The large
red splotches on my chest began to
(row smaller, and before long disap
peared entirely. I regained my lost
weight, became stronger and my ap
petite greatly improved. I was soon
entirely well, and have been ever
since. H. L. MEYERS,
