NEW YORK, March 2S.-Pre-
season exhibition games be-
tween teams of the two big
leagues, known ordinarily as inter
league contests, are becoming more
abundant as the years roll on. The
annual stock taking, notice that no
small amount of money may be added
to the eXchequer through this means,
and the managers of the teams real
ize more and more the value of some
real competition as test for young
players, and also as a means of key
ing up the regulars for the campaign
ahead and imposing them with the
scheme of attack and defense to be
employed.
This year, in addition to a number
of impromptu affairs that will be ar
ranged when two big league clubs, on
their way North from the training
camps, happen to find themselves in
nearby towns with Idle days, there
are exactly Al regularly scheduled in
terleague games. The longest single
series between any two clubs will be
that between the Athletics, cham
pions of the American League and OF
the world, and the Phillies, runners
up in the National last year, but now
rent and torn by the Federal League
assault. These clubs will offer the
Philadelphia fans a stretch of ten
games, extending from April / to 13,
with only four off days in the stretch
two of them Sundays and the others
April and 9, when the Athletics play
in Brooklyn and the New York Amer
leans cavort on the home grounds of
the PhillieS.
THE Cubs possess one of the hOnors
of the interleague schedule, open
ing and closing it. They got into ac-
tion against the st. Louis Browns a
week ago Thursday and played a two
game series with the American League
tailenders at St. Petersburg, Fla, and
they will cap the climax of the ante
season activities by playing a single
game i'm Cleveland on April u, just
two days before the regular playing
schedules of the two big leagues get
under way This last date is shared
also by the Boston Red Sox and
Charley Herzog's Cincinnati Reds,
who meet in the home town of the
latter on April II and 10. But as to
the Cubs-they had no more than
finished the franses with the Browns
last week when they plunged after a
brief rest, into a series with the Ath-
letlcs.
After the end of this Cubs Athlet-
ics miXup there will be no more in
terleague ball until Thursday, March
%, when the first big league ball
game of the year in a big league town
will be played, the Phillies meeting
the Senators in Washington in a
three ply series on successive days.
At the conclusion Of this Washington
series another begins in-the National

NO WIRE PULLING
IN NAMING LINKS
Watson Denies Charges
of UnfairnesS at Golf
Meeting Last Month.

The links Of the Ekwanok Country
Club. at Manchester. VT was not chosen
as the scene Of the national amateur golf
championship as the result OF canvass
ing. wire-pulling or a "frame-up." was
the declaration of Robert c. Watson.
president OF the United States Golf AS
ISOLATION. last night.
such allegations are made in the cur
rent issue OF THE Golfers Magazine" a
Chicago publication. which also criti-
cses the method OF awarding champion
ship tournaments as recently put in
force i'm the parent body
At the annual meeting Of the L. s.
G A.. I'm this city last January, Ekwanok
was chosen for the amateur champion
ship without much opposition. as against
the claims Of Mayheld and Detroit.
The Homcwood Country club near
Chicago. was anxious TO conduct the
tournament. but was not one of the three
links selected by the executive commit
tee FOR submission to the general meet
ing
After Ekwanok had been chosen a
Homewood cffcial broke into print with
the assertion that pressure had been
used 10 swing the vote TO Ellwanok II
was this idea as carried out in the arti-
Gle IN question that aroused Mr. Wat
sons ire.
After strongly denying the allegations
he offered the following explanation:
AT the annual meeting of the United
States Golf Association. held in New
York on Japuary 6, 1913. the dele
gates instructed the executive committee
TO pick out three representative golf
courses belonging 10 the United States
Golf Association and submit the said
list of these clubs for each champion
ship event
The president OF the United States
Golf Association carried out the instruc-
lions, and as result. in regard 10 tho
amateur championship. the Ekvanok
Country club received eight votes. the
Mayheld Country Club eight votes and
tho Country club Of Detroit seven votes.
The executive committee consists of
nine men. five Of whoA represent tho
East. three the West and one the South.
Hence as result OF the vote the three
clubs from which the choice for the anna
teur championship Of 1871. was made
We're Ekwanok. Mayfield and Detroit
There was no canvassing. wirepulling or
'frame-up.
