rN l. WHAT CONSTITUTES
AN AVERAGE PLAYER

Golf clubs and golf courses are only
made possible by the support of the
average player and the buffers. The
scores made by all classes OF golfers
engaging in club competition for num-
Der of weeks has been found to average
ninety-fve. This average is unauestion-
ably far below the average of all golf
played on our golf courses and 1t would
probably be fair to place tho average
player at rounds Of 81 to 100.
Glass a players, who make their
rounds in the early eighties or bet
ter, and class B. who should just dodge
under the ninety line, constitute a very
small percentage in every club, and
do not need fostering and encourage
ment, for If deprived Of their golf links
this class would play on our pubic
streets, open lots or front parlors
The clubs that grow fastest In mem
bership are those in which the interest
of the average player is carefully look
ed after and where the duners nave
a living chance in enough competitions
to stimulate better play.
Few men of the average business,

trips to their club links for ROUND Will

interested in the game, until the tourna-
ment committee through some sort of a
competition gets them in a contest.
1t Is this class of men who support
the clubs and whose interest golf-course
architects should consider when they
seek to devise fearful and wonderful tests
for the experts.
It must be awfully disheartening for
the duffer to be called upon to play
from long spinach ahead of the tee I'M
less he can carry some bunker. say,
100 to 40 yards out. I cannot see
but the bunker or other hazard is just
as deadly in its punishment without grass
SO long as to make recovery almost i'm
possible. even when the ball is found
within the stipu ated Ave minutes.
Course architects are nowadays giving
more attention to this aspect of the
case and making it possible for the short
but sure player to make creditable scores
with some hope Of future Improvement.
The average player is good-natured

good grace, but he would get much en-

him off for trifling irregularities when he
can do SO without interfering with the

BY J. ED GRILLo.

Granting that the Federal League has
to date accomplished much more than
was expected its success is by no means
assured. That the sailing Is not going
to be smooth for the new organization
once its schedule gets in operation Is
prediction made by those who claim to
know. To begin with, there is not
chance of any team in the new circuit
being of real major league caliber. The
few stars that have been taken from
organized base ball will not be able
to bring the standard OF the teams
up to the major league mark. No mat
ter how much may be said by the pro-
moters of the league to the effect that
their organization will be a real rival of
the big circuits. it will not take the fans
long to see the difference once the Fed
erai League season opens. Patrons of
base ball will not support an inferior
article of ball, and a perusal Of the list
of players the Federals have corralled
indicates that none Of the teams of the
new league will compare with those OF
either of the majors.
Those who have given financial back
Ing to the venture have done so with
the hope that there will be large financial
returns. The chances are that lot
of money will be lost, however. and it
is not likely that these supporters will
stand behind the movement very long I'M
der such conditions. The new league wi be
under an enormous expense. 1t mas been
forced to increase the salaries of every
player 1t has signed and its pay rolls are
decidedly heavy. Many Of the players
are being paid for more than they can
deliver. and when this becomes apparent
many of them are going to be cut loose.
Being barred from organized base ball, If
they jumped their reservation, these
players will virtual be out Of the game.
if they fail to hold their own in the out
law circuit.
The value Of having a couple of sea-
Soned pitchers on a team was demon
strated by Connie Mack last season.
Mack had a big squad of youngsters on
whom he was forced to depend for much
of the slab work. yet had it not been
for the fact that he had Bender and
Plank availab these recruits would
have been unable to land the pennant for
him. With few exceptions all Of them
seemed able to go part Of the route. but
they could not finish, and it was Bender
and Plank who made victories possible

by stepping into the game when danger
threa tened.
Grifiith is without a corps of seasoned
twirlers this year. johnson is the only
one Of experience he has on his staff
II the youngsters come through. all will
be well and good. but If they show the
usual weakness Of beginners. of not be-
ing able to go the route. the sailing Is
not going to be smooth for the Ma
donals.
1t is in this respect that the jumping
of Groom may hurt. Had 1t not been
that Griffith wanted to satisfy Tom
Hughes and allowed him to go to Los
Angeles the veteran might have proved
of much help as a finisher during the
coming campaign.
II the clubs in organized base ball
which have lost players to the Federals
succeed in getting some of these players
to return to their ranks there is no way
to keep the base ball war out of the
courts. 1t seems to have been decided
by those in power in organized base ball
that it would be mistake to have a legal
test of the contract in vogue. vet it seems
certain that some Of the cases involving
jumping players will get into the courts.
though organized base ball may not be
the instigator of such action. The Federal
League is sure to make an effort to pro-
ers 1t has obtained. and 1t has nothing
to lose by resorting to law to bring this
about.
Rumor has 1t that the Cleveland club
is making an effort to induce Falken-
berg. who signed with the Feds. to re-
turn to the fold. fabulous salary Is
said to have been offered the tall twirler
and there IS a chance of his accepting.
Should this come to pass the Federal
League Is sure to resort to law to enjon
FaIAenberg from playing and thus would
the way be opened to a -drawn-out
legal battle.
The loss of Falkenberg and Banding,
not to speak Of Kahler. has left the
Cleveland team in a bad way. Biz
mingham realizes this fact and he does
not seem to have much hope Of de-
veloping some youngsters to fill the
places of his former stars. There was
no reason for the Cleveland club to have
lost these players. With the Federals in
the field Birmingham should have re-
manned on the job in Cleveland last win
ter and kept in touch with his players
.-e could well have afforded to satisfy
Falkenberg and Banding and kept them
on his roster. There is too much money
tied up in base ball for the man in
charge Of the team ever to be out of
touch 1t is Just as important to have
him around during the Off season as it
is in summer.
