NATIONAL COLE ASSOCIATION.
Big Membership Desired So, as to Form

An appeal for more members has Just,
been made by the United States, Golf AS
ISOLATION, and at the same time Secretary
nual meeting will be held ON Thursday
evening, February II, at Delmonicos, New
York Early in Jar r the nominating
committee will annoi Is list of officers
to be elected at the meeting. It's report
will have to be sent to all. the clubs In the
association thirty days before the annual
meeting. Few changes are expected to be
made, and it is generally accepted that
President G. Herbert Windeler will agree to
a denomination, and If so. he will be unani-
mously elected.
The effort to enlarge its membership Is
something new for the National Associa-
ton. Hitherto the national body has acted
the part Of a dignifed arbiter Of the game
membership being considered in the light
OF a privilege for those clubs who wished
to join. Any regularly organized club was
eligible upon simple statement Of it's golf
conditions and payment for associate clubs
OF 500 and $40 for allied clubs. a-
All voting power and the general govern
ment of the association Is vested In the
associate clubs, and of these there are now
clubs that the choice Is made for the big
annual championship tournaments
The allied membership consists of 216
clubs from all parts of the country.

preparatory to forming divisions all over

Warrants for Automobiles.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


At the hearing before the Commissioners
when the Automobiles of the city were In
vited to show cause why they should not
be licensed and numbered and their cars
tagged. the writer made the statement that
the proposed regulation would only work
hardship on the progressive private citizen,
with no benefit to the community; that the
number on the machine would not neces-
sarily discover the Identity of the driver:
that the method was new, untried ex-
pertinent; that the present plan of appre-
hending violatocs of speed regulations was
efficient. and that since the writing of the
first law on the tables of stone the only
way found to catch a law-breaker Is to
catch him. At that hearing the writer cited
just such case as that commented on ed
itorially in Saturdays Star. And this is only
the forerunner of difficulties in plenty which
Will be encountered when numbered auto
mobiles of today will have changed hands
few times. The regulation must, there
fore, bring hardships on innocent parties,
without benefit to the community and the
longer it Is in force the more worthless 1t
will prove, just as has the thoughtlessly
promulgated regulations requiring that
cyclists shall sit erect on their wheels. If
street users violate laws treat them i'm
partially. 1t seems negotiable to show
preference for the drivers Of automobiles.

STRANGE TURF HISTORY.
Remarkable Records Of Cheap Priced

Young Critic Fights Again

Before the Chicago Athletic Club satur-

the lightweight. went six rounds to a draw.
Griffo was rather fat and had aged per-
ceptibly since his last public appearance.
While his steam lasted he displayed much
of the wonderful cleverness that made him
famous in the past, and tangled Memsic
up in bewildering web Of jolts and jabs.
His defense was perfect as of yore, and
the rushing youth in front Of him had a
hard time trying to penetrate It, Critic
tired in the last couple of rounds and was
very weary at the finish. Memsic did most
OF the forcing. and the verdict of a draw
was we'll received

account of sickness and Memsic was sub

of angles to be considered. but added ex-
perience gained by the Californian in his
two struggles with Benny Yanger Is not
believed to be a sufficient Offset to the
punch and rapid ring generalship Of his OPP

He concluded by boxing four rafting
rounds with Billy Otis. who was in fine

more but the festivities of the previous day
made 1t necessary. When he was through
he said that he weighed 1872 pounds, which
makes him still three pounds over weight
This he expects to lose in plenty of time for
