CHANGES IN GOLF RATING.
Travers at Scratch and Travis at /
the Order.

NEW YORK, November 21.-When the
new Metropolitan Golf Association hand
leap list makes its appearance the chances
are that there will be a rearrangement
of the leaders. In the opinion of nleEl-
Der Of the Metropolitan Golf Association
executive committee who discussed the
subject last night, it is all wrong to have
SO many at scratch. The present list
contains Jerome D. Travers. Fred Her
reshoff, Oswald Kirkby. Walter J. Travis
and Albert Seckel.
I'm my opinion" said the official. '.the
Cnly player who belongs on scratch is
Jerome Travers. There is no question
that when he settles down to 1t and plays
his game he is two strokes better than
any other amateur in the east, and the
best proof of this is shown when he is
asked to play over a testing course, one
where a variety of shots is brought into
play"
Another man in close touch with the
workings OF the Metropolitan handicap
committee stated that in his opinion
Travers should 60 at scratch and Walter
Travis be placed at /, with kirkby, Her.
reshon and Seckel receiving 2. So far as
actual tournament play during the last
better work than either Herreshoff or
Tdrkby. while Seckel is back in the west.
and for that reason his name is likely
to be dropped from the sheet.
With regard to the handicap question,
It is understood that the Philadelphia
association intends to try to induce the
Metropolitan committee to confer for the
purpose of getting the ratings of the two
associations on more even basis. Over
Philadelphia way 1t has long been con-
par has been trifie liberal" and 1t is
the desire of the Pennsylvania body to
carefully analyze the courses Of both as
sooiations for the sake Of uniformity.

BASE BALL OUTLAWS
PLAN NEW LEAGUE

CHICAGO, November 21.-Rumors that
certain clubs in the American Association
and Western League are planning to be-
come base ball outlaws and form new
league were confirmed here last night.
President Tip" O'Neill of the Western
League. admitted that discussion Of the
proposed league had been going on for
weeks, and that the subject took form
at a meeting of the league held in Mil
waukee last week.
Certain club owners in the Western
League asserted that their cities properly
belonged to a circuit with Milwaukee,
Kansas City and Minneapolis. 1t was con-
tended also that President O'Neill was
too close to major league influences, and
the directors therefore ordered the
leagues headquarters moved from Chi
cago.
The invasion Of Chicago and the estab-
Nshment of rival clubs in American Asso-
citation cities are said to be included in
the plans of the proposed league. The
American Association is supposed to have
an option on a favorable piece of ground
on Chicago's North Side, and for several
years has threatened to place a club
there.
Plans of the proposed league. it is said.
included possible clubs In Chicago. Mime
apolis Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Kansas
City, Omaha, st. Joseph, and an eighth
city yet to be named.

The Penitent.

At Hesters startling avowal Betty
shrank away in involuntary aversion
oh" she cried. and her truthful eyes
judged the girl sternly.
The culprit faced her in pleading ap-
peal. She had played her last card reck-
lessly. impulsively. risling everything
She never understood afterward what had
impelled her to this dangerous. unneces-
sary confession. Was 1t fear or calcula-
ton? She knew that IL Betty betrayed
her it was all up with little Lena. and
she had no reason to Relieve that Miss
Thompson would condone or tolerate an
act OF fragrant wickedness. Yet she had
told her.
"A thief!' shivered Betty.
Yes. thief" flung out the other. In
half defiance. "Ye don't think I'm good
enough to touch. do ye? Maybe I'm not,
but-say. do We want to know what made
me steal-the first time? Do ye want to
know? The words tumbled out In a
fierce tumult, and Betty, fascinated,
watched this strange girl as her dark
eyes blazed and her nostrils quivered
