This is the time of the year when
golf professionals are engaged

man can be chosen. And yet there
are many clubs and the work is pleas

professionals are interesting indi-
viduals, and they form at the present
time large class In this country,
where they receive perhaps, the best
ail-around treatment In the world
For the first few years after the
introduction of golf In this country,
all the professionals were British
born. but during the last FIVE years
a number of Americans have appear
ed in the professional ranks, and they
are holding their own we'll In conse-
quence, not quite 30 many of the

g o far. not one of the big British
professionals has been employed
here. All the high class players can
make comfortable incomes In Great
Britain, and some of them command
large ones. For that reason our pro-
fessionals have been recruited largely
from the caddies on the famous
courses abroad. 1t is easy to picture

indescribable excitement, hurrying
with his caddies' savings to the boat

The paroxysms of weeping became
more and more violent, and 1t finally
necessary to take Richie into Judge

Ball Rules Changed;
Coach Is Restricted

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Severai
changes of Importance were made at

tee Of the National and American
League The coach came in for a wal
ion when 1t was decided that no one
on the side lines be permitted to touch
any runner
The rule against coaching a player
before he reaches first base will be more
stringent than ever. No more can a
batter pt himself in the way of pitched
ball in order to get his base by being hit.
If IL is apparent to the umpire that the
batsman is responsible for being hit he
will be declared out.
Nothing was done about limiting the
catchers' box and there will be no PEN
alty on a pitcher who purposey gives a
batsman a base on balls. O'DaN con-
tended that this is good baseball and

Great Britain Keeps Noted Pros

Mt OF that we are going to pan Mr.
~ Murphy. 1t would do no good,
and it would work no harm. Mr..
Murphy has been thoroughly toasted
On warmer typewriters than ours.
Rather we would say that the Sick
Man of Baseball really appears to be
in need of something-somethin diff
ferent than he has had since first he
began to fritter away the greatest
ball club the National League ever
owned.
There was a wild story out the
other day that plan was on foot to
separate Mr.. Murphy from organized
baseball, If the National League had
to be torn apart and amalgamated
with part of the Federal circuit to
do 1t.
That would be going a long way to
find a remedy. Yet there are times
when some people might agree 1t was
worth it.
Organized baseball is initiating the
baseball fans of Chicago and of the
country in at least one point-it is
getting tired of Mr. Murphy.
IN the same connection we should
L Judge from the published accounts
of the fracas that Mr.. Evers landed
on a fairly flowery bed. A contract
for four years at $4,000 per, with d
$500 bonus, and more II the team
runs one-two- three, sounds pretty
soft, even fiowery. Allowing the GUS
tomary discount, IT seems evident that
Mr.. Evers is not losing anything by
being bounced from the command OF
the Cubs.
Now, let us hope that Messrs. Per-
due and Sweeney, old pals of ours
in the Southern League, will not be
sentenced to work 1t out under the
misunderstanding of Mr.. c. Webb Muir
ply.

It's substance, as usual, is that the
country is going to the dogs because the
tariff has been lowered. Regardless, for
the present, OF the new tariff, it was
surely time that something was being
done. Under the old Republican laws
the country was facing crisis, the price
of living was increasing out of all proper
uon to the compen ion of the
working man; half OF the nation's
currency was stored in Wall Street and
held there for the sole purpose of securing
stock speculation and gambling. Currency
wasn't intended for this purpose but to
act as the medium whereby the products
OF each section of the country might be
distributed among every section. can't
ever remember OF having heard that this
country was in any way benefited by
stock speculation. II doesn't appeal to
honest men to learn that millions of
dollars are made and lost i'm tins manner
in single day, quite the contrary, il
smacks very strongly of licensed larceny.
Also this sort of thing succeeded in redu-
ing the stock Of the New York, New

However, you can't fool all OF. the

now have different administration, one
that is keeping it's word 10 the letter.
Anybody can manufacture platforms,

would be in much better condition to
meet competition il they didn't have to
pay dividends on $500, 900, 000. 90 watered
and bonus stock-stock not represented
by dollars worth OF actual property.
1t will be remembered that all this was
legally done under the old Republican
laws, or rather their gross neglect to en-
act the preventative measures urged up-
on them.
As to the article wherein the officials
OF the Sugar Trust claim they were ruined
we can trutbfully say that we don't re-
member anything that tins trust has ever
done save to steadily increase the price of
sugar, especially in the canning season
when the good housewife was putting
up her winters store OF fruit.
No, Journal there isn't going to be
any calamity or panic. President Wilson
called that bluff in his speech i'm Chicago
and Congress has been calling it ever
since. Quite the contrary, business is
fairly good and is going to be much
better. For this we have the opinion of
such eminent men as Mr.. Rudolph
Spreckels, Mr.. Jacob Schiff, and Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, Republicans, too, by
the way, and furthermore, Andy himself
isn't any SLOUGH at the steel business.
Locally we are chiefly interested in
bitumnous coal, and it is very gratifying
to the people OF West Virginia TO learn
that the output OF this commodity for
