NOVEL TEST PROPOSED
FOR OLYMPIC AMATEURS

PARIS, FRANCE. Feb. 25-Baron
Pierre DeLoubertin, president of the In
ternational olympic council, advocates a
new scheme to assure the amateur stand
ing of all Olympic contestants. He pro
poses that all men who take part in the
games be required to swear solemn oath
to the flag of their country that they are
amateurs.
IF Jim Thorpe" he said, had been
called upon to swear upon the Stars and
Stripes that he never violated the rules
of amateurism. 1t Is inconceivabl6 that
he would have told lie.
An Olympic vow such as suggested
would a once do away with the necessity
of numerous inquiries into the status OF
upon their honor"
This is typically a French idea and has
aroused enthusiastic approval from Paris

the best sixteen" golfers in Amer
lea. I now propose to give each

raphy OF these successful players
and begin the series with the man
who was second in the list and
probably deserved first place.
Warren X. Wood began his golf
life on the short course at Jack
son in 1899, when he was about
twelve years old. His golf equip
ment at that time was composed
of one 95-cent cleek and a Var
don flyer.
He played his first real golf.
however, at the Tuscumbia golf
course at Green Lake, Wis.
Mr.. Wood played his first tour
nament at Milwaukee in 1901. He
qualified second but was beaten
in the second round. During the
same year he broke the record of
the Tuscumbia course and thus
won his first prize. cup which oc-
cupies a prominent place among his
trophies The following season he
went again to Tuscumbia and put
in the whole. season practicing un
der Joe DeMoss' careful study of
his game.
Mr.. DeMoss died a short while
ago and every golfer mourned him;
he was an exceptional player him
self.
In 1902 Mr.. Wood won the inter
scholastic championship. In 1904
he was selected for membership on
the original Olympic team, and he
won the first flight cup at the
Olympic championship at st. Louis.
In the fall of 1904 he went to Law
renceville academy and played on
the Lawrenceville golf team.
In 1906 Mr. Wood won the Unit
ed North and South championship
at Pinehurst and the Glen View
and Onwentsia open tournaments.
That same year he was runner-up
to d. +. Sawyer in the Western
championship at ST Louis, and he
was not beaten with the thirty
seventh hole. He also played on
the Olympic team.
New Record at Jackson Park.
In the next year he played in the
National at the Euclid club, Cleve-
land, and was defeated by Jerome
Travers on the last green. This
was rather an unusual defeat in
which the winner had a higher
medal score than the loser, it was
73 to 70. In the same year Mr..
Wood played in the Western open
at Hiusdale and obtained fourth
place, q great distinction for an
amateur That year ne won again
the Glen View cup and made rec
ord Of 80 on the short course at
Jackson Park. This probably is
the only score below SO on record
for eighteen holes.
In the Western open at Nor
mandie at st. Louis in 1908 Mr..
Wood finished fifth, making a new
amateur record for the course.
During this year he won the
championship of Pinehurst and the
annual spring tournament, leading
the qualifying fields in both events
He did not enter the United North
and South championship. This.
too, was the year in which he came
into final possession of the Colvin
cup at Green Lake, Wis; he also
won the Glen View open for the
third time. giving him permanent
possession of the huge cup.

the referee awarding the decision
to Sheridan.
Although there were no knock
downs, the bout was exciting
enough to bring spectators TO their

depended almost entirely on left

adopted an effective right uppercut
toward the latter part Of the go
