 /. There has been great deal of talk re- gently regarding future international golf matches. Since the very successful visit of the Oxford and Cam bridge team last season the impression is gathering ground that the American golfers should return the compliment and send team abroad at an early date. Leading golf CTS have discussed the matter, only among themselves informally, but the effort to have the United States Golf Association send over team under it's auspices is admitted to be the only way representative American team could be picked and receive the official stand ing on foreign links necessary to we'll conducted series of international matches. President WindeIer is thor oughly in earnest over the subject, and he has been in conference with J. l.. Low. captain of the Oxford Cambridge team, regarding the matter The idea is to arrange for annual international golf matches. Among English golfers the proposition has been discussed with con- siderable favor, although the difficulties of complete success are recognized. It may not prove altogether an easy matter to give effect to this proposal. A Brit ish team visiting America would need to be away at least three weeks, and it might not always be possible for the best amateurs to be absent for so long a period. But the difficulties no doubt will be overcome, and it goes without saying that the matches will excite the keenest interest on either side of the Atlantic. International rivalry at sports and pastimes makes wholly for good, and is no unimportant factor in en- couraging friendly feelings between the two nations.

The con- test will take place at the Knicker- becker Athletic and Social club of Baltimore on March g.

Corbett Gives Weiaht.

In arranging another match with Jimmy Britt, the California light weight, Young Gorbett has made a further concession as to lle weight. Britt and Corbett, who will meet in Frisco March il, have agreed to weigh 131 pounds at 6 o'clock In the evening. As they will enter the ring probably three hours later both will scale above the lightweight limit, 131 pounds.

Selee's devising really reflects, quite ac- curately, the general feeling among pro- fessional managers concerning the col lege players. A few years ago the col 1ege stamp marked young player as be- ing so desirable that the magnates broke their own backs hustling to get the col
 lege lads. Phenomenal college pitchers received phenomenal salary offers, and the craze lasted for three or four seasons, when the managers came to the conclu- sion that the collegians were nice young men, but that the boys from the vacant lots had the better baseball material in their hides. Its funny fact said Mir Selee, that the brainiest collegian is often at loss to work out thinking plays which an uneducated kid off the lots turns like flash. This means, therefore, that college education and baseball sense are not the same have seen college player who ranked with the topnotchers in an educational way stand and hold ball, utterly bewild- cred, while the uneducated fellows right and left of him knew just what to do, how it should be done, and were fran tically calling on the co1legian to take action. I don't think Lajoie or Wagner ever saw a college unless when train rolled by one. Lajoie was hackman and Wagner was a butcher, I believe. Quite few good players have been de- veloped in recent years from the little colleges around the country, but few from the big universities, and, for that matter, the managers have quit look ing for them at Yale. Princeton and liar ward The reason for this is simple. Young men, who attend the little colleges are usually hard-working chaps who appreciate the value of money, and, if they see they are good enough to play ball and increase their income, are glad to seize the chance. The boy who goes to Yale or Harvard is generally of 8 wealthy family, and, no matter how fine 8 player he may be, is too we'll fixed financially to need or wish to follow the professional game after graduation"
 The meeting of the baseball magnates of the big leagues which took place at San Francisco recently resulted in the Pacific Coast league being taken into the Minor Leagues association. '+ @~ Tom Sharkey won in the wrestling bout with John Fleming before the Cri- terion Athletic club at Boston recently. Fleming contracted to throw the sailor three times within an hour. Fleming got the first fall in 16 minutes, and the second in 34 minutes, but failed to get third. -
