Leach Cross last night cannot be

lad ended his battle with Jack Richie
at the Harrison A. c. in Harrison, y.

that Cross laid out Charley Griffin.
Brown met Richie in what was
scheduled to be a 1O-round battle, but
it lasted not quite two rounds. In the
first Brown battered Ritchie in the
stomach, and in the second round he
sent over crashing right hooks until
he had forced Richie into a corner.
Then he measured Jack and shot over
a left swing. Jack Topped to the floor
and rolled over on his back. He was
counted out, and then carried TO his
corner.

INTERPRET RULE
ON GOLF CLUB FORM
Executive Committee of L. :. AssO-
citation Removes Doubt as to
What MaIIet Head Is.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Members of the
executive committee of the United
States Golf association met Yesterday
and drafted their Interpretation of the
rule relating to the Form and Make
of Golf clubs" At the meeting held
on Saturday night the note or interpre-
tation as framed by the executive com
miittee on Saturday afternoon was de-
clared ambiguous, and after several at
tempts to reconstruct il, il was handed
over 10 the incoming executive COM
mittee.
The Interpretation presented at the
annual meeting read,
"A golf club of the mallet headed
type is club which is so constructed
that the length of head from the back
of the heel to the toe shall be less than
the breadth from the face 10 the back
of the head. The shaft may be fixed
at the heel or at any other point in
the head
The new Interpretation made yester-
day is as follows:
The shaft of a putter may be fixed
at the heel or at any other point in
the head. The term of this resolution,
when applied TO putters, does not en-
brace putters of the so-called Science
tady type"

Alexander Bison, whose impressive

to create such a furore throughout
Europe and America, is one of the very
few dramatists of any time who has
been able to achieve great success in
both serious and lighter fields. For
many years NJ. Bisson stood in the
very first rank of French writer's of
farce and light comedy, his plays be-
ing extraordinarily successful at home
and in England. Germany and other
lands. But until he wrote Madame

in Bisson's triumph is dealing with
that most sacred and, dramatically,
most difficult of human emotions

evidence that the ablest humorist are

most gifted in understanding the finer
qualities of humanity. For many years
the late Augustin DAILY had translated
and produced in New York a Bison
