equally positive that she was not q

The authorities are, up to this

CLUBS OF THEIR FOREFATHERS GOOD

Progressive Ideas of American Golfers Shock Traditions of
Not Wanted Abroad

That breach between the United
States Golf association and the Royal
and Ancients Of St. Andrews. Scotland,
caused by the edict of the dictators of
the golf world against "mallet headed"
putters is far from being closed. AL
though the meeting in Chicago recently
did not insist upon the enforcement Of
the Royal and Ancients' now rule,
many golfers, especially in the east,
are strong for observance of anything
emanating from the venerable Scotch
organization.
The rule bars a lot of clubs that
have been used many years. though 1t
doubtless is aimed against only a few

BOXING MEETING
TO BE IN PARIS
Pusilists to Confer on Plans For the
Standardization of Fighting Glasses.

fuSil1ste TO Confer on flans for tne
Standardiza alton of Fighting Glasses.
Judging from present indications, pu-
gilistic authorities from all over the
world will be present at the first inter-
national boxing congress, which is to
be held in Paris beginning March 10
and ending March Is. The French Ma
tional Federation of Boxing Clubs will
conduct the event, and M. Capdeville,
the manager of the congress, some time
ago sent out invitations to the boxing
club managers Of America, France,
England and other countries to attend
the affair.
The congress will be held for the pur-
pose of discussing many important
questions and making several much
needed international agreements.
Chief among them Is one whereby II
is proposed to standardize the weight
in each class 50 that a boxer will be
bantamweight or a heavyweight, as the
case may be, in all countries. This
matter Is at present the cause of q
great deal Of confusion.
The program also calls for the franz
ing Of an international set of rules for
the conduct of professional as well as
amateur boxing and for the creation
of an international boxing union.
Other topics to be discussed are
French boxing, English boxing, rules
for regulation Of boxing in France, the
making of professional boxing matches,
boxing from a medical standpoint, the
history Of the sport, refereeing and box
ing as an educational sport.

LOnq Time Baseball Contracts.

Fearing that trouble may occur in
the future. big league club presidents
are striving to sign their best players
to long time contracts.
Doolan and Knabe of the Phillies
have signed for three years. and efforts
are being made to get Magee under
control for such a period.
Baseball is prosperous-very pros
perous-just now, and as long as the
money is being made so long is there
a chance for opposition. By getting
their best men in line for three seasons
the owners naturally strengthen their
position to face trouble when trouble
comes.

Owner Hedges Has Queer Ideas.

Bob Hedges has unique ideas about
scouts and scouting. The owner Of the
luckless st. Louis Americans declares
there is a drawback in employing IA
nous scout inasmuch as his reputation
often adds value to intended purchases
In the eyes Of minor league owners.
The, mere fact that a noted gumshoe
expert thinks we'll of a certain player,
says Hedges, frequently causes club
owners to overestimate his value and
ability. The future scouts Of the
Browns will therefore travel disguised
and incog. or be unknown to fame.

nj racing in California is dead
the only place where turfmen
u can apply their vocation dur
ing the winter months is at Juarez,
Mexico. A year or so ago many critics
predicted that this course was doomed
to failure. But just now 1t looms up
as monument to the foresight Of its
promoters. 1t might also be called the
savior Of winter horse racing. After
May l Of this year Juarez will be the
only winter racing point on the Ameri-

The legislators have got in their dead
ly work on the betting angle Of the
game, and the man who insists that
racing can be conducted without bet
ting no longer exists. California got
its dose Of medicine recently. Louisi-

To make sweeping alterations every

greatly that It would lose interest in
