GOLF.

Some dissatisfaction is being expressed in
Great Britain over the multifarious and COM
pick rules Of golf. and player has written
a letter to Golf Illustrated" a London pub
LEGATION. making an appeal for a simplifcation
Of the present code. 1t says in part:
The oomplexity of the present rules is due
to a departure from the fundamental principles
Of the game, which were all, or nearly all, that
the old codists concerned themselves with, to
say nothing of entirely new offences and pen
alties The attempt has been made to draw dis
tinctions between various shades of offences
against statutory laws. and this has been done
and is being done TO such an extent that the
original law is fast becoming a dead letter
What is wanted is a return to the broad and
simple rules OF the game and the abandonment
once and for all OF the hopeless and endless at
tempt to legisate for particular cases or the
principles of equity. Let revive the spirit
and letter of the rule which saws that ball
must be played wherever it lies or the hole be
given UP. If do that shall not so often
hear golfers ask the ridiculous question What
do I do here?" It seems to have been forgotten
that the game of golf is TO play the ball with
a club, matter where it gets 70, and not TO
invent and invoke rules TO enable evade
our golfng difficulties If this rule alone were
accomplished and if the whole code were dealt
with in the same spirit the difficulties of the
rules committee and the queries Of perplexed
correspondents would disappear.
This subject is worthy of some thought in
this country. No one who has tried TO master
the present code viii question that a reform Of
some sort IS urgently needed The rules should
at least be plain and simple enough to leave no
doubt in beginners mind as to what he can
or cannot do. 1t is cause for congratulation
that the United States Golf Association has
studied to make the rules in this country con-
form 10 those abroad. and for this reason any
move looking to the simplification of the rules
should be made IN conjunction with the rules
committee abroad. Still. it might be well for
ihe United STATES Golf Association TO take the
initiative at least in the matter Of suggesting a
change. unless its ultra-conservative policy Is
TO be maintained Of letting well enough alone

BASEBALL PRACTICE AT COLUMBIA
Candidates for Nine to Start Work This
Week-New Coaching System.

Baseball practice at Columbia will begin in the
cage Wednesday. Captain Tilt has called out
the freshman candidates for that date. and they
will begin work under the direction of Billy Lauder
the coach. The varsity candidates will be called
out the Wednesday following.
A somewhat different system in coaching will be
adopted this year from that in vogue last season.
Instead of beginning the wedding process while
the men are still IN the cage. every man who comes
out for the team will be allowed to remain on the
squad until outdoor practice begins in spring.
Hitherto the coach has had a good idea as
TO who would make the team, and material that
was unpromising has been dropped soon after
practice began. This has had a tendency to dis
courage some men, and material capable Of deve-
opment has been lost. At the same time It was
found that when the squad got on the field II was
too small to give the varsity the practice which it
needed.
Practice in the cage will be devoted to batting
and pitching There at least seven candida es
