YALE'S ATHLETIC STAND
Council Committee SAID to FaUor
Old Plan of Control.

New-Haven. Conn. Feb. 15.-It can be stated
On the authority of a member Of the Yale
University council. that the report Of its com
mittee on athletic abuses. while setting forth
those abuses fully and clearly. recommends in
effect that the whole matter of athletics be left
10 graduate and undergraduate control, as has
been the traditional policy OF Yale for many
years.
The regulation and restriction of training
tables Is favored in the report. and not their
abolition. The committee in its report recon-
mended that the report itself be referred to the
general advisory athletic committee consisting
OF PROFESSOR Woolsey, Henry B. Sargent, of the
Yale corporation: Walter Camp and the athletic
managers and captains. This proposition was so
modified by the council as TO send the report to
the Yale faculties also.
So far as the decision Of the council is con-
cerned the review of the recommendation still
remains with the faculties 1t is believed that
several recommendations of the report have al
ready been fulfilled by the action of Yale Har-
ward and Princeton in amending the rules OF
eligibility

GOLF COURSES NAMED.
Dates Set Also for the Three Ma
tionaL Cham pi0nships.

At a meeting of the executive committee OF the
United States Golf Association held at the Office
OF Ransom H. Thomas, president of the associa-
ton' In this city yesterday afternoon, the links
and dates for the three national championships
We're decided on and announced. as follows:
Amateur-Englewood Golf Club. Englewood.
n. J.. July 10 to Il
Newton. Mass, October TO Is.
Open-Onwentsa Club, Lake Forest H., June
IS and 20
The selection of the EngIewood Golf Club is
likely to prove popular with golfers. the
course is good one and within easy access Of
this city. The Apawamis Golf Club. at Rye; the
Ekwanok Country Club, at Manchester VT, and
the Baltimore Country Club at Baltimore were
the other courses considered. The selection of
midsummer dates caused some surprise. as in
view of the sentiment expressed at the annual
meeting it was believed that the tournament
would be held in June. The July dates were
decided out of consideration for the college
golfers.
It was thought that the Country Club OF At
lantic City the only applicant for the
women's championship, but it seems that a re-
quest came from Brae Burn after the annual
meeting. and IL was entertained. The Women's
Eastern Golf Association, formed few months
ago. had practically decided to hold it's first
annual championship in conjunction with the
tri-city team, but in all probability some other
course will now be selected.
The only applicants for the open were the On
wentsia and the Philadelphia Cricket Club. and
in selecting the former the committee has made
a fairly equal sectional division OF the fixtures
between New-York, Boston and Chicago. The
fact that Willie Anderson. the four times open
champion. will have charge of the Onwentsia
green this season seems TO make his chances Of
winning again all the brighter.
Five new associate members were elected at
yesterdays executive session They were the
Columbia Golf Club. of Washington. D. c;
Midlothian Country Club. Blue Island Ill:
Wykagyl Country Club. Mount Vernon N Y;
Euclid Country Club Cleveland. Ohio; Plain
field Country Club, Platnfield y. J.
The Midlothian club was elected to associate
membership in 1900. but changed to the allied
class in 1903 This sudden influx of associate
clubs shows the wisdom of reducing the dues
from 800 to $50 Those at the meeting were
Ransom H. Thomas, Daniel Chauncey, w. Fell
loves Morgan and Hayward g. Leavitt They
held the proxies of the absentees
Now that the parent body has made its
championship selections, the other leagues and
associations will quickly settle on their dates.

A resolution was passed prohibiting visiting
managers. officials or PLAYERS from issuing
passes on foreign grounds after the beginning Of
the championship season of 1905
The constitution was amended in the matter
OF the waiver Of players by clubs. Hereafter any
player held by a club has to be cleared off the
list within ten days after the beginning of the
season. The players that are retained within
the season may be held for thirty days. The
purpose of the change is to prevent clubs from
getting waivers on men and holding them in

want their services opportunity to bid for
them.
MINOR RULE CHANGES.
The joint rules committee had another ses-
sion The foul strike rule was not amended
but it reported 10 both leagues the following
minor changes:
Add TO Rule the following words: And said
lines shall be clearly visible from any part of
the diamond and no wood or other hard sub
stance shall be used In the construction of said
lines"
Amend section of Rule 81 to read When
ever the umpire observes violation Of the pre-
cedlng section he shall Immediately order such
player or players have disregarded IL to be
seated. If the order be not obeyed within one
minute, the offending player shall be fined So
each by the umpire. If the order be not obeyed
then within one minute the offending player or
players shall be barred from further partici-
patton in the game and shall be obliged forth
with TO leave the playing field
Amend Rule A SO as to make it read: "A
bunt hit IS legally batted ball not swung at
but met with the bat and tapped slowly within
the infield by the batsman- If the attempt 10
hunt results in a foul not legally caught a
strike shall be called by the umpire
Amend Rule 40. Section 4, so as 10 make il
read: An attempt To bunt which results in a
foul legally caught"
The first change was made because Of the
fact that one of the players tripped over
wooden foul line of the ball fields and
sprained his ankle The second gives an in
creased power TO the umpire in the control Of
the players Of the team at the bat when they
insist on bunting into the field. The third
change defines the bunt more particularly than
heretofore.
The American League held short session
and adjourned sine die.
