frankly admitted to me, playing together
on many occasions, that his game has
been killed by his developed theatrical
temperament.
Actors do these things that golfers
should not:
They originate their own game.
They loathe to be corrected.
They prefer playing to practicing.
They treat en- onlooker as an au-
dience.
They refuse to accept the preliminar-
les of the game. In point of fact. they
try to play the part. before learning

able Report From Henry Fa-
bian About Waco.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 3r-Good news comes
from the South in the way of a letter
from Henry Fabian addressed to his
boss. Colonel Hedges. In which Henry
states that the Cotton Palace grounds
in Waco. where the Browns are to do
their spring training. Is an ideal spot for
a training camp. and that the Browns
couldn't want any better camp than the
one Hedges picked out for his team.
When the colonel decided upon Waco
as the 1913 training amp for his
Brownies he did 50 only after finding
out that there Were three different
grounds in the Texas town, namely, the
Cotton Palace, Waco Texas League. and
the Waco high school grounds. The
astute Mr.. Hedges then made arrange
ments that IN case he couldn't use one
he could switch over TO one Of the
others. Later he heard from Joe Gard
ner. manager Of the Dallas Texas
League club. who Is doing all the book
ing for the Browns in the South, that
the Cotton Palace grounds were the
best and the nearest to the hotel. The
colonel Immediately got In touch with
the owners OF the Cotton Palace park,
and closed with them.

much lifting OF eyebrows and quiet
speculation today as to just how the
Giants Will look when they step onto
the Polo Grounds wearing violet-color-

Frequenters Of Broadway, most OF
whcm are suspected OF being baseball
fans. discussed the matter amons
themselves. and concluded that Johnny
McGraw's crew would be about the
sweetest looking bunch of men on any
diamond.
The manager of the New York team
announced the new uniforIa yesterday.
He asked what were the colors of New

told him violet. he said that sounds
good to me. Violet 1t is Violet stock

There is a possibility that Branch Bo-

head coach Of the Hilltop football eleven
next fall. Negotiations are about TO be
begun with him in the hopes of his
leaving Virginia Polytechnic Insti.

Of the negotiations are expected to be
heard from in few days
Bocock was a star of the gridiron
while an undergraduate at the Hilltop,
and has met with considerable success
as coach. He turned out a good
eleven last season from the greenest of
material. and. handling the material at
the Hilltop. he should be able to have
an eleven capable of meeting the best
in the country.
1t is practically assured that George
town will meet the Army eleven at
West Point on November q This is
the Saturday before Thanksgiving. and
should be hard test for the West
Enders on the eve Of their contest here
on Turkey Day.
The scheduling of this game, too, by
the way. settles the rumor that the
Soldiers will battle the Sailors on that

the Saturday before. BY agreeing TO
meet Georgetown on November 2, IL IS

tests should settle the relative stand

LONDON, Jan. 31.-At the annual
dinner of the south London EarrierS'
Club. last night, President Willis. who
said that the club was the pioneer in
International athletics. made the start
ling proposal that the next Olympic
games shouls be open to both amateurs
and professionals.
Without any direct reference to the
Thorpe incident, he contended that the
line between professionalism and AM
ateurism was less sharply drawn In
other countries than in England, and
that therefore England was not in the
