GOLFERS DISCUSS NEW RULES
May Ada Much to Congestion Of
the Links.
AS WHOLE WILL BE IMPROVEMENT
Likelihood VIII Lead Every Player
in Match to DnshinB,
sInshInc Game in Tee
shot.

LONDON, oct. 3l-(special)-Taken as a
whole, the criticism OF the new rules has
been eminently favorable, says the London
Field. All players have recognized that the
new code will be a great Improvement on
the old and that a good deal more labor
has been expended on this years revision
than has ever been the case before. But
during the few months in which the SUBJ
ject has been open for the discussion Of all
golfers who interest themselves ia the sub
ject there seems to be a general disposition
among a militant section Of players to
blame the rules committee for their altera-
ton of the out-of-bounds rule to loss of
stroke and distance. That is the rule upon
which the largest amount Of criticism has
been fastened. But the obvious objection
to the rule is not the one which is usually
brought forward. The obvious objection to
the alteration is the practical one that will
help TO add to the congestion Of the links.
Those who are taking a share in the cam
paign against the adoption Of the new rule
attempt to bring forward other reasons
why the change is likely to be harmful to
the playing Of the game. Their main con-
tentlon is that the added penalty for a ball
being out Of bounds win lead to timid play
off the tee. As an abstract proposition at
fecting the justice of the penalty there Is
apparently no disposition to question the
fairness Of the rule, but It is being de-
nounced because it will lead every player
in a match to abandon a dashing, slashing
game in the tee shot and to adopt the safe
and pawky tactics Of all who believe that
the middle way is ever the best.
Now, is It at all likely that the penalty
OF stroke and distance for a ball which has
been driven out Of bounds will tend to
make players creep ignobly up the middle
Of the course? No one in his heart can be-
lieve that the new rule will ever make the
slightest difference to any player off the
tee. Those who are pouring out indignation
at the. proposed new rule apparently wish
to claim golfing sympathy for the player
who, whenever a fence or private property
is near, promptly slices or pulls his ball
over It. Playing out of bounds in such a
case is to be looked upon as a merit worthy
of exceptionally tolerant treatment. Hav-
ing played a bad shot off the tee, the out
of-bounds player is to be SO leniently dealt
with that he is to nave a second shot in
order to recover lost ground, while the one
who has played the proper game by keep
ing in the middle of the course may be very
badly bunkered, losing two strokes, per-
haps, to get his ball out on the fair way
once more.
What the indictments fail to see is that
the new rule will redress the inequality of
punishment which at present exists be-
tween the straight and the crooked player.
In nine cases out of ten the ball out OF
bounds is the effect of a bad shot. The
boundary fence is present to the eye OF
every player and If he cannot modify his

Members of the Minneapolis Automobile
club are all enthused over the proposed
plan to erect, to order, a permanent hill

hill-climbing contests. AS planned. the

The Massachusetts supreme court, having
decided that selectmen of towns and alder
men of cities may exclude motor cars
from certain streets, Bay State automobile
clubs are planning to obtain the passage Of
an act by the Legislature giving them
equal rights with horse-drawn vehicles.
A. ]. Pichard, who held omman OF the
trips in New York during Will
liam J. Bryan's campaigning tour, says the
nominee is thoroughly in touch with the
needs of automobilists and also in thor
oughly sympathy with the work of the
automobile fraternity for good roads legis-
lation.
The first six months of 1908 French auto
mobile exports show a shrinkage of ST.
$500 compared with the corresponding
period of 1907. The amount of business
done with foreign countries is also slightly
less than during the first half of 1906, but
Is considerably better than during January
June. 1905.
While the annual overhauling Of Paris
streets was going on during the summer II
was noticed that the portion of the
Champs-Elysees reserved exclusively for
automobiles was in excellent condition,
while the side portions used by the horses
alone had been torn into strips until 1t was
a mass OF holes.
1t is promised that the 1909 Prince Henry
touring competition shall be under the
auspices OF the German, Imperial, Bavarlan,
Austrian and Hungary automobile clubs,
and that the event shall extend over six
days. The projected route is from Berlin

submitted to several Of the clubs iu this
city for next year promise to create dis
cussion. The most important Of the
plans contemplates the incorporation OF
a women's championship series. in add
ton to that Of the men, in the 1908 sea-
son OF the Metropolitan league. The ma
jority Of the clubs in this Organization
INCLUDE women. the list including West
Side. New York. Hamilton Grange.
Kings County. Knickerbocker Field club
and the Montclalr Athletic CLUB. The
New York Athletic club, Crescent Ath-
letic club and the Brooklyn Lawn Tennis
club are not so represented. II is ar
gued that the organizations might easily
enter into such a series and that the
women's side of the game would thereby
receive greater impetus and develop
ment.
The other plan has as its chief factor
the desire of the women to meet the
leaders among the men in actual tourna-
ment play upon the courts. II is thus
that they receive their best practice, and
the Misses wildey, Miss Moore, Miss
Wagner, Misses Hamilton and the Misses
Fish are all eager for such play. The
idea is to encourage handicaps with a
mixed entry. This has been tried on the
Kings county courts with success and
now the women wish the field broad

woMAN's PLACE IN LAWN TENNIS
New Avenues Opened for Them Dur
ing season.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sl-women are
fast finding their place in lawn tennis.
New avenues of endeavor with the
racquet have opened to them this season,
and in this respect the metropolitan
tournaments of this city have come emil
nently to the fore.
The most notable feature of the
renaissance of the women's galne is
the hard hitting of the players. Mrs.
Barger-Wallech, the winner of the out
door title, possesses a forehand drive
which is the equal of anything displayed
by those masters of powerful driving, the
English. Miss Marie Wagner, the indoor
title holder. accomplishes an amazing
amount of racquet work, into which she
puts an aggressive physical energy which
has carried her along to prominence. On
foot work the women who are leaders
excel the men, and it must be admitted
that a number Of them do not tire even
after a long session on the courts, This
fact was made evident by the perform
ance of Miss Alice L. Fish, who accom-
plished a feat of continuous play by con-
testing eighty-three games. This was in
the final Of the Hamilton Grange tour
nament, in which the good qualities of
Miss Fish's game so asserted themselves
that she won four out of five matches.

M'GRAW Is AFTER NEW ONES
Giants Hope TO Infuse More Life Into
the Game.

NEW YORK, oct. a,-When Johnny
McGraw announced a few days ago that
he had forty-four players on his roster
for next season he didn't mean that these
men would start the season of 1909 with
the Giants. The chances are that not
more thar about twenty-five of the forty
four will accompany the team to the south
next spring. But there will be more than
twenty-four in that party, and this means
that a lot more young material will be
corraled before the spring training starts,
and all Of this new material will not be
made up of untried youngsters and minor
league players.
McGraw says that the Giants next season
will not be a two-pitcher team. There is
a great deal of significance in this state
ment. True, he banks a whole lot on Mar
guard, Durham and Crandall to help out
Mathewson and Wiltse, but McGraw is too
wise a manager to start a season with such
a staff. He knows this from experience
during the closing days OF the 1908 pen
nant race. Just one more seasoned pitcher
during the Cincinnati series last month
would have landed the pennant for the
Giants.
1t can be stated with authority that mex
season the Giants will have at least one
more seasoned pitcher to start with. The
club had a very prosperous season and is
willing to spend $50 900 for classy pitchers.
who can tell but that deals are pending
now7
There is another breach to fill in the
ranks of the Giants before another sea-
son rolls by. A high class left fielder
and hitter is required. And maybe there
will be two changes in the outfield. sey.
mour, while a good hitter, is not enough
Of an inside player to suit McGraw. Sey-
mour is naturally a good hitter, but a
classy pitcher has little trouble getting
the best of him.
The 1nfield looks strong enough. Tenney
is expected to give good service another
season. Second base is well guarded Will
Doyle and Herzog and Bridwell is good
enough at short. There isn't any question
about Devlin putting in another season a
third.
The catching department could stand q
Omaha daily bee., 1908-11-01

blowing In that direction, the obvious de-
duction Is that he has still to improve his
golf education. But he has no justification
to try out against the harshness OF unfair
ness Of the rule. The boundary fence is
always a better marked hazard on the
course than the concealed pot bunkers lying
beyond a knoll on the fairway, and when
II comes to be a question Of summing up
the treatment which should be given to a
really bad shot out Of bounds and a shot
which is cruelty trapped on the straight
line il is the last named player who has
just cause for grumbling at the negotiable
working Of the present rule, and not those
who escape so lightly when they drive out
OF bounds.
The attempted scare about the effect Of
the rule in making the tee shot play more
and more timid is not likely to have much
weight with golfers who know their subject
thoroughly and can draw upon a wide ex-
p]erience Of play. To harken to this outcry
one would imagine that the incident Of ''out
Of bounds" had only been invented within
the last decade. Musselburgh and st. An
drews, when each was a great school OF
professional and amateur golf, had their
boundaries to beware Of just as much as
the most circumspect of park courses in
England today. Did the fear Of driving
into the gardens at Linkfield deter any OF
the great Musselburgh players from cult
waiting a dashing and slashing style OF play
which has rarely been equaled? Have the
s~tationmater's garden and Gilmour Place
at ST. Andrews created a 'timid" school
Of professional and amateur golf there?
No: the knowledge of the disaster which
would follow from Getting out Of bounds
nerved the players to a steadier resolu-
ton to keep straight and at the same time
to hit one OF their best and longest shots
off the tee.
The new rule, therefore-or, rather, the
going back to the old out of bounds rule
will have no effect whatever in creating a
new school of "timid" players, and it
would be paying a poor compliment to the
experienced legislators at st. Andrews to
believe that they will be in the least de-
gree moved by the expression of a fear
which is ]groundless.

~ ASE BALL saw it's greatest year In
1903. In the two major leagues re-
suits outstripped any semblance OF
~ precedence and set a record diff
flcult Of parallel for the future.
But. Of course, In an enterprise as big and
great as the national game OF America pro-
gress must be maintained; retrogression
might be fatal and stagnation would be
not at all satisfactory. But IL progress is
made In 1909, II the contests are closer and
the gate receipts larger than they were
in 1908. some vital changes and indeed i'm
provemepts are necessary. There Is one
condition that Is not by any means en-
couraging to the general aspect OF base
ball progress and that is simply this: The
paucity of the managerial market. Men
who can successfully manage a major
league team, combating all the forces of
professional competition, take and main
tain their places in the strenuous race for
championship h~onors-such men are woe
fully In the minority. This is a fact that
has been sadly, but decisively impressed
on the minds Of owners. Take the Ma
tional league and you have just three men
Of proven ability as managers and a fourth
Of promising powers and probable success.
The three who have demonstrated their
Brill - CAAeASN hNNAo" Gnu ShoAhN 1ANh
the fourth man is Murray Of Philadelphia.
Cincinnati and st. Louis have found it
necessary to accept the resignation Of
their managers, while Boston would well
come an Improvement and Brooklyn prob
ably could profit by one. In the American
league the situation Is some better. There
are Mack, Fielder Jones, Jennings Of the
highest type and McAleer and Cantillon OF
recognized ability. But look at these names
in the National league and note the stand
ing Of the teams they represent and you
have the milk in the cocoanut so far as
one side Of this question is concerned. The
three mon most successful In building up
and managing great base ball machines
Chance, McGraw, Clarke-kept their teams
30 far ahead Of all the rest of the league
that except for the fierce and unpre-
cedented race between Chicago, New York
and Pittsburg the National league season
would have been a monotony. Two Of the
best managers In the American, Jones and
Jennings. kept their teams up to the TOP.
while Connie Mack Of the Athletics lost
out, but the chances are that a less able
man than Mack would have finished eighth
instead of sixth with the Athletics of 1908.
The main fact is the most crying need of
major league base ball today is more high
grade managers. Several teams are in
the market for them, offering almost any
price. The right sort Of man, one who
can win games and bring box office re-
turns. Ii more valuable than the franchise
and can all but dictate his own salary.
And 1t is said that Fielder Jones and
Chance practically do even that. The most
oogent illustration today of what the lack
of a manager will do for a team is to be
found In the 1905 record of the New York
Americans.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-A cable message
from Paris gives details Of the decision Of
the international Congress of Recognized
Automobile Clubs on the question of racing
limitations for the year 1909.
The new rules provide for a maximum
bore for 1870 millimeters, or 81 inches, and
a minimum weight OF 900 kilos, or 1873
pounds. This cuts down the size of four
cylinder racing motors one inch and also
cuts down the minimum weight some COZ
pounds.
This action was anticipated from the
letters sent by the Italian club recommend.
ing a smaller limitation for internationa'
racing motors. 1t is understood that the
