next-door neighbor, out on Rhode

Boom IN Hockey
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, September 2.-There is
great boom In professional hockey in
this vicinity. and 1t appears extremely
probable that the International Hockey
League will number eight clubs during the
coming season. There will be a meeting
of the league at Sault Ste. Marie to dis
cuss plans for the coming season and act
on the new teams which will probably ap-
ply for admission to the league. There is
strong possibility that Duluth, st. Paul
and Chicago will have teams which Will
want to enter the league at that time, and
If they materialize the league will be in
good shape territorially., as a team IS
needed in the vicinity of Chicago to break
the journey from the western cities to
Pittsburg. Chicago IS the most probable
new member for the league, but Duluth
and ST. Paul are strong possibilities.
There is strong rivalry among the teams
for players next season. Calumet, which
won the championship last year, loses
three of its strong players, and Portage
Lake, another strong team. Is on the look
out for new material. 1t loses Doc Gibson,
the veteran. who introduced hockey into
the west and will have a hard time filling
his place. Little is known concerning
Pittsburg's prospects. but the teams of the
American and Canadian "Soos" promise to
be very strong.

High School Athletics

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 2-That the high
school boys Of Greater New York have
profited in many ways since the formation
of the Public School Athletic League be-
comes more patent as each season of the
organization rolls by. One Of the most rad
ical advances Of the league in its efforts to
promote the most effective type of citi-
zen was the presentation, through its treas
urer, Mr. s. r. Guggenhefm, of the new
subtarget gun machines, the use OF which
has been advocated by Gen. George w.
Wingate, president Of the league. whose
connection with rife practice IS well
known. The great strides made by the
lads in the use of the machine were shown
In the competition for the Harry Payne
Whitney trophy, which closed recently. De-
ing won by the De Witt Clinton High
School team.
The gun machine consists Of practically
an apparatus which registers the accuracy
of aim and fire Of a gun as 1t is held IN
the hands of a soldier. The soldier taxes
the gun and aims at much reduced target,
which represents the side OF the target at
600 yards: this Is about twenty yards away.
To the gun Is attached series OF levers
which while not interfering with the COM
pIete command of the gum move pointer
over q subtarget showing teh exact point
that a proiectile would strike the distant
target If fired from the gun at the time
BY the movements of the pointer over the
subtarget the instructor can see at
glance whether the soldier Is holding too
high or two low. or too far to the right or
left and correct any errors When the
trigger Is pulled automatic electrical
device registers upon the subtarSet the
exact point of the hit By this means
the soldier is made to hold his gun correct
Iy and he knows exactly the results of his
"shots" as accurately as he could on a rlne
range.

Golfers Have Trouble
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 2-There is
trouble brewing in the ranks of the pro-
fessionaI golfers. 1t is caused by the latest
scheme of handicapping evolved by the sec
rotary OF the Metropolitan Golf Association,
Leighton Calkins.
The stir is the result of the printed an
nouncement in connection with the program
for the first Metropolitan Golf Association
open championship, to be held over the
Fox Hills links the middle of September.
On the third day, or after the championship
has been concluded. the plan is to run or
an eighteen-hole medal-play handicap, open
to all, when Calkins' pet scheme will come
into play He would rate professionals
along lines similar to the method prevailing
among the amateurs.
One well-known player said In an inter-
view:
II confess do not like the idea. We can
not all be on the scratch, so it is bound to
cheaper man given a long mark. No,
sir, If l am not good enough to play from
scratch my place is at home in the shop"
Since golf has been known in this country
professionals have been placed on an equal
ity They nave been the instructors, re-
garded and recognized past masters Of
their art, ever ready and willing to take a
chance with all in their class. Now they
are to be given rating-some placed on a
higher plane than others, and SO officially
regarded by the Metropolitan Golf Associa-
ton.
The fear Is that with a handicap system
prevailing professionals would sooner OF
later become known and esteemed accord
ing to their rating. Then the question pre-
sents itself, would clubs of any prominence,
taking a certain pride in their professionals.

or fourth rater?

MANAGER GRIFFITH
PICKS THE ATHLETICS

DETROIT. Mich. September CLARK
Griffith predicts that the Giants will never
beat the Athletics for the championship
flag. He Is not just ready to bet on the
proposition, but he Is quite certain just
the same.
ut stands to reason" he argues, chat
a team compelled to fight its way to the
top like Philadelphia against seven other
clubs. all playing fast ball, must win from
the Giants, who have had compare lively
easy going. and Waddell will trim them a
couple of games. Plank will also, while
Coakley and Henley can hold their own
against Wiltse McGinnity or Ames Then,
too. the Athletics are hitting better than
any team in the country. They're all vet
Grams, and know the game as well IL not
better than McGraw's speedy men.
ut has been said that with Schreck the
Cross boys, Seybold and others, who are
pretty old and have not made good on
other teams, the Athletics have not world 8
championship material. But they are
strong enough to hold their own in the
American League. and the Giants are
bound to get severe shock"
Willie Keller, on the other hand, picks
the Giants to win. unless something hap
pens to their pitchers, and in this he Is
backed by Conroy.
One thing Is certain, fans declare-the
admits that he is out of the race making
no bones about it, His ambition now is
to beat Cleveland for third, and that will
take some hustling. The next series at
home promises to be a lively one. indeed,
as New York. Boston. Washington and
championship in the east. All OF them arc
sore on Chicago and have little confidence
in her ability to maintain the homer Of the
league when pitted against the Giants.
