New Plan Advanced for Selection of
Future Tourney Courses.

New York, Dec. Am amendment to
section six of the bylaws of the United
States Golf Association is in course of
being passed by mail vote of the execu-
tive committee, which will change the
system of links selection for the national
tournaments. The new plan will call for
the executive committee to prepare a. list
of three courses eligible to prepare a list
and these will be voted on at the annual
meeting. At present section six of the
bylaws reads in part: Amy club wishing
to hold a championship event shall on
or before December l file its application
with the secretary, and such application
shall be included by the secretary in the
notice OF the annual meeting Under
the present rule it will be seen the time
for receiving championship applications
is now past, but in view OF the pending
change it Is unlikely that these will be
announced before the annual meeting to
be held in this city on January 3.

OTHER LOCAL GOSSIP
New Sporting Club Likely to Be
Formed in DistTiet-To Hold
Wrestling Bouts.
BY C. w. SWAN.

When the ST. Louis Browns meet the
Nationals here next summer, Charlie
Bold, the big lad from Boston. who was
a candidate for the Georgetown football
team a short while this fall, may be
seen playing first base, as Bold is under
contract to the Browns, and Manager
Branch Hickey thinks he will do.
When the Browns were here last year
on their final swing around the circuit.
Bold worked out at the ball park.
Speaking OF the youngster that night,
Hickey remarked: THAT boy will make
a wonderful first baseman. He's big.
fast, and can hit that ball. 1 will surely
give him all the time in the world to
develop, for l think he Is natural
ball player"
At this time Hickey did not know that
Bold would enter Georgetown. But
Graduate Manager Walsh and Manager
Barrett learned that Bold was under
contract with the Browns. and refused
To allow him to play football. As soon
as Bold was told this, he left college.
This speaks well for the system now
in vogue on the Hill. When a manager
viii turn down as promising a candidate
as Bold, then II stands to reason that
there are few Of the fresh air. students
at Georgetown.
Manager Barrett deserves a great deal
Of credit for the capable manner in
which he handled the big games. Barrett
had bad luck with the weather. but at
that managed TO get by with a good
showing on the credit side of the ledger.
He handled the Carlisle and Virginia
games well. and made a corking good
manager for the Blue and Gray.
