GOLFERS CONDEMN
NEW PUTTING RULE
Look With DiSfavor on Reg
ulation Against Brushing
Across Line.

LONDON, Aug. 25.-James Braid, the
open golf champion. In giving his opin-
ion Of the new rules. said he did not
think it was the place of professionals
TO criticise the rules, but he was pre-
pared to confess that he did not re-
gard as a good move the suggested abb
clifton of permission TO brush across
the line Of the put.
CuriousIy enough, nearly all writer's
on golf have viewed with approval
this proposed alteration; but Braid, than
whom no man has had more experience
in big stroke competitions, pointed out
that it was likely to work harshly on
certain occasions.
Spiked Shoes Damage Greens.
some men, he said. have big nails
in their boots, and they are apt TO
wrench up tufts Of grass when taking
UP the position to put. It is an easy
thing to do. and is done very largely
-unknowingly, Of course These tufts
will come away If you brush lightly
with the back of the hand. and nobody
suffers.
Under the suggested rules however. q
man who went out late In the day would
be rather badly handicapped. Moreover,

piece of grass that happened 10 be
fixed would mean, in medal play, loss
of two strokes, and so the competitor
would not take the risk of touching ne
tufts The late starter in medal
round is already often a big sufferer.

over the greens, and things may be very
bad indeed for him under the new rule
Back Up Braid.
Harry Vardon and Taylor were also
loud IN their praise of the advance
which had been effected in the direction
of cIearances OF expression, although
Nardon made exactly the same point as
Braid in regard 10 the hardships likely
TO arise from the removal OF permis-
sion to brush across the line OF the put

fore the extraordinary general meeting
OF the Royal and Ancient Club on

AMATEURS ARRANGE
SERIES FOR TITLE
Last Seasons Commission
Reelected and Eligibility
Rules Adopted.

The appointment Of a commission ana
the adoption of a set OF rules TO govern
the series, were the results of a meet
ing last evening attended by representa-
tives Of each Of the eight leagues which
VIII compete for the championship base
ball title OF the District.
The commission which VIII from this
time on have the last word IN all mat
ters pertaining 10 schedule, eligibility
OF players. and in all disputes that may
arise is composed Of the same men that
conducted the post-season games last
year. john Hadley Doyle was elected
president: John II. Anderson. secretary: /:
and W. G. ThacheF. treasurer.
The rules, which were practically
agreed upon last eveRing. although they
await the signatu IS Of the presidents
Of the various lsegues, are substaR-
TALLY the same as those IN effect last
season. The only material change is In
the fact that the code this season pro-
yides for a double series, one between
the teams IN section A, and the other
between the clubs of class B. the win
ner in each division 10 play a series
OF three games for the championship
streamer.
Division Of Receipts
The only question over which the
delegates were divided was that Of the
distribution OF finances OF the two
series. 1t was finally decided TO keep
the proceeds OF the two divisions sepa-
rate, and 10 divide the receipts OF the
final games between the section leaders
among the players OF each club.
The eligibility rules, which conform TO
those OF last season, provide that a
player must have participated in al
least five games with the team OF which
he is a member, except IN the case OF a
pitcher, who may have played in but
three contests.
Schedule Hangs Fire.
The matter of grounds has not yet
been arranged. although IL is pretty Ger
tain that the class A tes ms win battle II

lean League Park, while the remaining
four clubs will make a strong effort 70

CEyn1er's Proper Play Loses
Third Game for Washington
Moved Over for Cobb and Ball Goes Where He Had
Been-Umpre Egan Entirely Too Quick in
His Decisions
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Game today at p. m.
The story Of a good thing gone wrong
was the story Of Detroit beating Wash
ington yesterday ~ / TO O. 1t would
also have been a Btory OF the same kind
IL Detroit had failed TO make a run
of It's ten hits.
Crawford singled IN the sixth inning
after Schaefer had famed, and Ty Cobb
came 10 bat. Cobb was right in his ele-
ment in such an emergency, prepared
to show tte neighbors a few new tricks
The iFst bali he hit at he pulled away
around as if he were going 10 smash It
down the first base line for a hit by
main strength and awkwardness. Deep
in right field was our esteemed and in
teliigent gardener, Otis Clymer When
he SAW the way Cobb was throwing
sciences to the wind and simply swing
ms freely with all his might, Clymer
moved about thirty feet nearer the foul
line. where a Ieft-handed batter slug
ying II such a manner might ordinarily
be expected to hit.
Alas for the heavy thought Cobb
swung as indicated at the next offering
from Walter Johnson, but the ball was
a swift one and Cobb did not get his
bat around as far as Clymer figured
before connecting with the sphere The
consequence was. il went squarely into
right field instead or along the line, and
caught CIymer out OF position. Clymer
got his finger. tips on the ball, but they
were about two inches too short TO keep
IT from glancing OF and going its way
rejoicing for a three-bagger, which
scored Crawford.
The youthful and precipitate Egan
man, whom Ban Johnson is trusting
to umpire All by himself in such i'm
pOrtant games as the Detroit club is
now playing, was not so bad yesterday
as on Friday and Saturday. but at that
could not help showing his woeful iael,
Of experience. One OF Egan's worst
faults is his childish inclination TO de
eide plays before they are made. Had
he not been in such a hurry 10 settle
the affairs OF the universe in an off,
hand manner he never would have
made himself so ridiculous as he did
on Saturday, when he called Pickering
out on his steal IN the seventh inning,
although II afterwaTd appeared that
the ball vas seven or eight feet away
from Schaafer AT the time. While
an umpire should be prompt. there is
no reason for him anticipating In his
decisions what he thinks ought TO hap
pen in the most uncertain Of all sports,
instead OF waiting until II actually takes
place.
