Francis Ouimet and Fred Herreschoff,
the quartet Of United States players
planning a golf invasion of the Brit
ish isles this summer
The constantly increasing entry list
with its attending congestion when the

round on each course and the 100 re-
turning the best scores will play in

1ect has been discussed frequently in an
infcfmal way by Hugh Mcintosh of Aus
tralia, Victor Breyer of France, A. f.
Bettison of England and Charles Harvey
of this country, but no definite plans
have been advanced. Harvey, who is sec
rotary of the New York state athletic
commission, and an authority on box
ing, said recently:
Harry Discusses Matter
1T is far more difficult to form such a
body than was the case in other sports,
where there previously existed national
governing bodies. With the exception of
france and Australia, there are no ma
t1onal bodies controlling professional box
lis. In this country three states-New
York, Wisconsin and Montana-legalIy
recognize boxing and govern the sport
by commissions. In France there is the
French federation, LIE Bove; while in
Australia there recently was organized
the australian Boxing association. Both
Lelginm and Switzerland have associa-
uons working in unison with the French
federation, but [ cannot say to what ex-
tent they govern the sport in their coun-
tries.
Acting in a private capacity, having
been working in a private capacity
nave been working on the scheme of an
international organization since Decem-
Der, 1911. As a result of much corre-
spondence l am convinced that it is neces-
sary to form national bodies before an in
ternational union can be launched. The
three state commissions have no official
or legal rights or standing outside their
respective states. Both the Wisconsin
and Montana codes are modelled more or
less after the New York. state regulations,
and 1t has been proposed that a meeting
of the commissioners be held to arrange
for reciprocal relations and cooperation.
l have the assurance of most of the box
ing promoters and advocates in other
states that they favor a national organ
ization. Beyond this nothing has been
done so far as l know toward the for1na-
tion of national governing body. The
time is opportune, however, and in an un-
official capacity I should be glad to con-
tinue the V ork toward that end"

INTERNATIONAL BOXING
ORGANIZATION AGITATFD
Demand of Sport Followers in British for Such an Organ
cation Rapidly Increasing American Ring Author
ity Discusses the Difficulty

New York, February Additional i'm
petus in the movement for an interna-
tional boxing organization for the control
of professional boxers has been furnished
by agitation in England. The growing
demand throughout the British isles for
an association of this type clearly indi-
Gates the present unsettled status of
boxing since English sport followers
as a rule are extremely conservative and
seldom sanction International sport al
liances. That an exception exists con-
oerning boxing is evidenced by many ex-
pressions of personal and press opinion.
As an illustration there may be quoted
an appeal, printed il the London Times to
American. French and English sportsmen
TO organize a controlling body for box
ing a body that would control the whole
question of worlds championships and
which would decide how long a champion
could hold a title without meeting
man in his own class.
Should Formulate Proposal
1T is high time says the Times,
that cheap champions We're deprived Of
the opportunity of refusing to defend their
titles for indefinite periods. In the mat
ter of organization 10 that desirable end,
the final word rests with America, for as
o9posers or the Olympic games are apt to
forget, supremacy III athletics carries
with it the right of ultimate control But
ii the National Sporting club and French
authorities were to formulate a co-opera-
tive proposal and submit it to the leading
American clubs no harm whatever would
he DONE and the consequences might be
invalua BILE"
That such an organization is contem-
plated is generally understood by those
interested in boxing, both in this country
and abroad. Progress, however, is slow,
since there are few, if any, associations
with either legal or ethical right to act
as sponsors for the movement The sub

Alabama Five Meets BAG. Tonight
CHICAGO FEDS. INFERIOR
TO MAJOR LEAGUE TEAMS

New York, February 1.-The first au-
thoritative lineup of a Federal league
club is that announced by Joseph Tink-
er for Chicago. A careful analysis of
batting and fielding averages of play
ers fails to show anything sensation
al in the new organization. Chicago has
been the hotbed of the Federal league
movement and 1t is natural that one of
the strongest of the available com
binations should be selected for that
city. OF the 16 players named as pos
sible members of the club, eight fig
ured in major league play in 1913 and
four in the minor leagues, while still
others played for obscure clubs.
Using the figures taken from the
major and minor league records of last
year and assuming that the Federals
can obtain the services of Killifer and
other big leaguers, as originally
claimed, the team batting and field
ing averages indicate that the Chicago
Federals would rank sixth in Ameri
can league batting averages, and below
asst place in the National league. In
team fielding eighth place in the Ma
tional would be their position, one
noint better than the Boston club,
which finished last in 1913. In the
American league the new Chicago club
wonld fit in between Washington $50
and New York .954. thus gaining sixth
rlace The available records of the
PLAYERS proposed for the first Federal
team to be announced are:

and are In the battle right up until the
final whistle.
Coach Graves athletes know they have
no chance of slipping over victory
against the Athletic club tonight, but
they are determined to hold the score
down as much as possible, and the
chances are that the clubs final count
will not be as large as in the Auburn
fiaseo.
On account of the personnel of the Ala
bama's five, the game should attract a
great amount of interest among local bas-
ketball enthusiasts. OF the five regulars
on the team, two-Harsh and Hood-are
