! Georgetown at this season of the year,
and by the time of the Poughkeepsie
race, We should have one OF the most
formidable eights OF the SIX universities
that are represented.
1t has been persistently reported that
because of the outlay of money neces-
sary to maintain the crew Georgetown
would be forced out of the rowing game.
The necessary expenses have been very
large, and the destruction of the boat
house last summer because it occupied
Government property, was a great draw
back, but it was learned this morning
that deposit has already been made
on most desirable site, and as soon
as the title company guarantees the
title for. the ground, the property will
probably be bought as a site for the
boat house. which is to be given to the
university.
There will be no varsity rowing at
Georgetown this week, but next Mon
day the work viii be resumed, and pre-
parations for the Poughkeepsie regatta
will go on apace.
In order to defray the expenses of
the crew which IS TO carry the Blue

NEW HANDICAP
PLAN POPULAR
Good Golfers Have Fairer
Chance.
COMPARATIVE IMPROVEMENT
Back Man Cannot Improve as Much az
Noviee-Adopted by Many
Associations.
COMPARATIVE IMPROVEMENT

NEW YORK, April 17-For the first
time in its existence the Metropolitan
Golf Association has a board of Off
Gals who have put their shoulders to
the hitherto apathetic wheel, and local
golfers are now under the jurisdiction
of live, active body, which is COM
manding the attention of most OF the
ether organizations.
Every club has adopted Mr.. Calkins
new handicap system, a condition of
affairs which should make the metro
politan ratings consistent.
Will Become General.
Besides the new handicap system be-
ing in operation in the metropolitan dis
trict, the New Jersey State Association
has adopted it, while the Connecticuc
State Association has written for par
ticulars. and it is being adopted by
many of the Chicago associations AL
though but a month or so old, its un-
deniable equity in the treatment of low
handicap men, compared with high
handicap players, has attracted such at
tention that # is quite probable every
organization in the country will come
into the fold, with the result that next
season every golfer will be handicapped
by one accepted standard
Hitherto handicapping has been a
source of dissatisfaction owing to its
severity on the back mark men.
Players hanging from plus A. t. scratch
have seldom had the ghost OF a show
with those near the limit mark. and only
when they have played somethin,, ap-
preaching par golf have they figured
near the winner
Is Much Fairer.
The basis of Mr.. Calkins system is
that ''if an allowance of certain num-
Der of strokes is to be made to the less
skillful player, because he cannot play
as well, some allowance ought to be
made TO the more Skilful player, because
he cannot improve as much. In other
words, a man whose average is 80 for
the round can improve far more mater
tally than the man Who averages sO'
For this reason Mr. Calkins takes the
ground that when the 80 man returns ~
his handicap should be cut moro strokes
than the 50 man who hands i'll iS
pamphlet on the system has been
published, including Sample kaEdica p
tabls. This should certainly be in the
hands of the handicap committee Of all
clubs and if it We're there would be ::

All pitchers won by far majority of

Murray pitched two games each, allow

only one man got as far as first, each

game of the season, which was played
