received la thl country from "Snowy"

The boxing boom spread to all part
of th Island continent," write Mr.

(00 people In the whole 1,000,000 square
miles of country, it ha boxing stadium

Melbourne and Brisbane have been pro

Oa th subject of boxers, this Is what
Mr. Baker has to sayi
"For year past we have been without
any champions la th heavy and middle

A few month ago tha fwopl of Maltland

"Th local atausiasts saw hint fight

Darey waa a world bested. They urged m
to give Darcy a match at th big stadium

against Eddie MoOoorty. but as second

; NEW YORK, Deo. (.After January S
next year amateur golfers who Indirectly
sr directly make money because of their
golfing proficiency will be declared pro
fessionals. At th meeting of th United State
Oolf association hers on that date th
United States Oolf association' defini
tion of an amateur will be altered so that
amateurs, to retain their atandlng, must
adher to rules as strict as those of th
American Athletic union.
No amateur golfer will be allowed to
receive money for Indorsing cigars, golf
balls, underwear or anything else.
, No amateur golfer will be allowed to
receive money for using hi golfing pres
tige to aid hotels.
Th question of whether amateurs will
be allowed to receive money for wrlt'ng
articles on golf will be discussed. Noth
ing defintt can be learned at this tiro
regarding th action th association will
take upon thl; phase of amateurism, al
though It I known that officials la th
United Btates Oolf association are In fe
vor of disqualifying player-author.
Tho association which haa as members
praotloally all th golf club la th United
State laat spring sent letters to th sec
retaries of the clubs asking for an ex
pression of opinion regarding a plan to
chang section T of the by-laws, which
defines amateurism.
Under this section amateurs are at pres
ent permitted to receive money for writ
ing upon golf and for lending their names
to help advertise any project.
' Maay Favor Chaaere.
It waa learned today that th United
State Golf association has received an
swers from nearly every club and that a
great majority favor a change In th -rule.
When th United Btates Oolf associa
tion sent out its . letter last spring a
report was circulated to tha effect that
the official of th United State Oolf
association, were questioning the standing
of American golfer who at th time were
playing abroad. Th officials branded tha
statement as absurd, pointing to th fact
that they had entered these golfers In th
British amateur championships and had
certified aa to their amateur standing.
It waa reported that the American golf
era abroad were Incensed over th action
of the ' United State Oolf association,
but these golfers later denied that they
had taken any. such attitude, and they
assured the United States Oolf associa
tion of their support.
Th officers of th association insist
that they do not want to Influence the
clubs who vote upon th proposed amend
ments to th amateur rule. The decision
to hold aa Informal meeting, at which
many prominent eastern golfers will be
present, was reached -only after It was
apparent that a great majority of the
clubs desired a mor strict amateur rul
ing. ' "Ther will be no drastic revision." said
a high official today. "It will simply be
a revision that will bar practices that
are palpably against true amateurism.
Whatever changes are mad will b for
th very best Interest of th gam, and
will be brought about by the clubs, and
not by th officers of th association."
