SPRING TRIPS QUITE COSTLY
Baseball Statistician Figures Out That
Big Clubs Pay 100000 for
Early Training.

A baseball statistician here has Just
figured that the spring training OF all
the major league teams this year will
cost about 100000. The clubs hope
to gather in enough money from ex-
hibition games to pay a part of these
expenses. The players draw no sal
AIRY until April Is, but advance money
can be drawn by those who respond to
the early call, This privilege is gen
orally used pretty freely for II is
usually the case that ball players have
empty pockets after the long winter
lay-off.
1t is figured that nearly 500 players
will begin practice at the major
league camps this year. OF this num-
ber at least 100 will have to be drop
ped when the proper time limit ar
rives. The remainder will draw about
Sl,000,000 In salaries, averaging $500
to man. A club that manages to get
through the season with less than
100000 expenses will be regarded as
a curiosity. This includes salaries.
railroad fares, hotel bills, rent, taxes
and assessments, also an outlay for

That breach between the United
States Golf association and the Royal
and Ancients of St Andrews, Scot
land, caused by the edict of the die
tators of the golf world against NAL
let headed putters, is far from being
closed. Although the meeting In chi
cago did not insist upon the enforce
ment of the Royal and Ancients' new
rule. many golfers, especially In the
east are strong for observance of any
thing emanating from the venerable
Scotch organization.
The rule bars lot OF clubs that
have been used many years, though II
doubtless is aimed against only few
OF the extreme type, notably the
Schenectady putter.
One definition given Of "mallet
headed" putter is as follows;
zone that is wider from face to
back than it is long from heel to toe"
But this definition is not compre-
hensive enough, for many putters now
tolerated approximate this shape with
out actually conforming to it.
What the Royal and Ancients are
undoubtedly fighting against is the
spirit of change with which this coun-
try attacks every sport that it takes
up. The progressive disposition of
Americans extends to their pastimes.
Where the Britons are content to let
the games of their forefathers remain
as they were. the Americans insist on

The Royal and Ancients cling to the
iron putter OF their forebears. They
do not want the center shafted mon

to dethrone the tools that were good

though Americans think they have
proven that the innovations are

lete types that existed century
ago
