line of action to be taken at tha meeting
waa decided upon and tha administration
policy went through without a hitch. In-tereat-
centered on tha expansion resolu

(Including Canada and Mexico ir possiblei
and present It to the next annual meeting-President
Hmith explained that it was
the disposition of directors to be consei va
lue and while they believed there was
need for a better national organisation
they would respect the I'ntted States Golf
association while It was the national body.
l. K. Kelly of Kwnoor, raid the west hud
been well treated by the Culled States Goir
asaoclatton in gelling both the president
and vice president from this section, and
moved that the Strickland resolution be
tahle, whuh was done.

Comes now a story that "Jack' John
son may be offered a purse of $..0,000 rash
If he will go to England and box with "Al"
Kaufmann
This mere bagatelle my be spumed by
Johnson. Y'et the time will come when he
will not scorn money. Easy come, easy
go, alwavs has proved true In the puglistlo
world.
The bout between Johnson and Kauf
mann quits naturally would take place In
London. There would be no other city In
Which a crowd could be drawn of suffi
cient magnitude to pay to promotera. And
what would It amount to.
At the best, the separation of the Eng
lish boxing enthusiasts from such of their
hard earned, or easily earned, shillings as
they care to lose. It Is not In evidence
yet that Kaufmann will beat Johnson in
the ring.
There may come a day. but is has not ar
rived. The bout would take place during coro
nation week, if It took place at any time.

"Sam" Wallach, who ia Iach Cioss"
brother-in-law. says Leach had to retire
temporarily because he feared some ill ef
fect from blood poisoning on account of
a mild cut which sliced through his
cuticle.
"Sam" doesn't thing that there ia a
chance for Leach to lose against Griffin.
He's a loyal brother-lnlaw. That'e one
of his fine points.
"Leach Is working at Allenhurst."
writes "Sam." "George Stucke is his
sparring partner. He is an up-ste'e chap.
Griffin Is always fighting and willing,
and for that reason I expect that It will
be a warm time when he gets Into the ring
with Leach. I think there will be more
action In this bout than Is found Inthree
ordinary bouts. Leach Is specially anxious
to stop Griffin on account of some slur
ring remarks he made."
Can't beat 'em. For advance notices they
always work In that grudge matter some
where. Through. Kays Fletcher.
Tha visionary Fletcher, who would have
promoted a new base ball league at a
large profit to himself and thrown all the
risk of success upon the shoulders of
the players, says that he haa not finished
with hla Idea of making trouble for the
major leagues and will take their players
away from them at the end of the sea
son of 1911.
About that time there will be some who
can be spared.
Meanwhile major league club owr.ers may
as well keep an eye on this gentleman,
who Is likely to do his share toward up
setting discipline If he does nothing else.
If he continues to negotiate with ball
players, unless the latter turn a cold
shoulder and keep him away, some of the
more emotional are likely to forget all
about the obllgatlona which they owe to
their employers for the seasan of 1911.
That haa happened In the past.

The association decided not to award

not always agree as to the tcamB which

that the better way would be to leave the

Omaha la worklrg quietly but verv hard
for that National Clay Court championship
for iun, the tenuis enthusiast of the city
boosting at home and abroad for the
event for Omaha. Conrad Toting and Harry
Koch, who will represent the Omaha Field
club at the annual meeting are correspond
ing with various of the western and south
western tennis men In regard to the event
and find them almost unanimous for this
cltv.
The inducement of the II. fttO nfti club house
and grounds of Pittsburg la making quite
a noise In Itself for the meet, but the force
of sentiment among the followers rf the
sport points to. a town that represents the
west rather than the east. The demands of
California that that atate be represented In
soma way In tha tennis world Is one of the
most potent causes for the feeling that
the west and the south should have more
of tha national tennis patronage.
The annual meeting of the unni. n,n
of the I'nited States Lawn Tennis associa
tion win be held in New York February 4,
and will be an all day session this
This move was decided practically by the
troume the members had In settling diffi
