tention to this item to emphasize the ad-
vantages which the coast universities
are in the habit Of extending to their
various university organizations. Cali
fornia's foot ball teams have been to
Australia. their base ball mines have visit
ed Japan. their track men have come east.
Truly to the California mind the world Is
rather a small place, and distance must

And to their credit We must say these
organizations and their representatives
give a good account of themselves wher-
ever they go and in whatever they try
to do.
There is a great deal of discussion in
England and our country, too. regarding
the question of changes in the British
system Of conducting the amateur cham
pionship. A letter on the subject has
been sent out to every golfer who par
ticipated in the championship by Angus
Hambro. NJ. P. and one of Britain's
best golfers. in which he suggests a
thirty six-hole qualifying round for three
days play. to determine the thirty-two
men who are to play thirty six-hole
matches until all save the champion are
eliminated. 1t seems to be the general
belief in English golfing circles that the
championship has outgrown the eighteen
hole match play from the beginning of
the tournament straight through to the
last day.
to the merit of our system as against the
manner in which the Britons choose to
conduct their own championship, the dis
cussion really turns on the question.
whether golf championship should de-
pend more upon match or medal play, or,
as We run ours, Il mixture of both. After
all is said. medal play is the purer golf
test and it is a wise provision that re-
uuires player to produce a medal score
before qualifying for match play. The
wisdom of our system and its justice both
to good and bad players are apparent.

GOLFING HINTS.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE

TAKING TURF.-Ncarly every
correct shot with iron involves
the taking of Il bit of turf II you
will watch any expert play you
will notice that every tirne he
goes for the ball he pushes the
club through the ball. as it
were, and after he has hit it the
club head bites into the turf
before going to the follow
through.
Jerome II. Travers. the anna
teur champion, who owes his pres
ent honors to his proficiency with
his driving iron, is "A notable
example. If you stand back of
him when he makes one of his
long. deadly shots. you will See
the turf fly after each shot. Your
first impression will be that he
has dug too deeply. but the SUBJ
sequent flight of the ball like i;
rifle shot to the pin will convince
you to the contrary.
Do not seek to get the turf until
after the ball is hit by the club

Master"
EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO STANDARDIZE RULES
Code to Govern Championship Play
Is Much Desired-Has Lask-
er's Approval.

In addition to the International master
tournament with twenty masters entered.
there will be two Haupt Journeys con-
tested at the great chess congress which
opens tomorrow at Mannheim. Germany.
In these two minor events from IS to
100 players will strive for the coveted
title of master which goes with the
two prizes.
Germany has the only standardized"
chess masters in the word. and to her
system OF producing this article may be
attributed her dominance and control of
every branch of the chess industry. Tho
German Chess Association, comprising
every chess club in Germany. with abso-
lutte governing power. has ruled that no
German player shall assume the title OF
master or participate in an international
master tournament on German soil who
has not won his Haupt tourney. In other
countries anybody may lay claim to the
title of master. but general rule a
player is not really credited with this
honor until he has been invited to a
master tournament. or has defeated
recognized master in formal match play.
1t can be readily seen from this how
Germany. with from six to eight Haupt
Journeys a year, boasts a vast majority
of the chess masters of the world.
1t is interesting to note that the latest

Baden confirms the decision reached al

How any one wits any knowledge of box
ing can place any confidence in Ahearn
to beat either Smith or Carpenter is be-
yond me- He is. beyond question. a
good class middleweight. probably the
best in Europe. but it IS asking good
deal of him to concede twenty pounds TO
white hopes.
There are also several blots in
Ahearns record that ought to be wiped
out before he talks OF boxing heavy
weights. Last october Badoud knock
ed him out in eighteen rounds in Paris.

he can repeat the performance that he
is ready to bet $500 on the result.

BALLADE OF COSY DOLAN

G. Dolan. on u summers day,
Was lightly romping on the grass;
He ctrcled like bird Of prey,
And gobbled all that tried to pass.
It seemed but little short of brass
To knock one out where Cosy stood,
And men who tried 1t sighed 'Alas!''
For having wondered IL they could.
In two or three odd times at hat
C. Dolan had knocked down a fence
Had laid a bath pavilion fiat
And filled a. bleacher full of dents.
Tho multitude, in consequence,
Was quite excited-cheers uprose-
And men were thanking Providence
For having favored us with Coze.
But compensation keeps an eye
On all the outward show of Fame,
1t makes the earth to join the sky.
And keeps the others in the game.
And thus IL WAS, with vict'ry nigh,
And all the crowd and players tense,

And then pursued 1t to the fence.
