PLENTY OF RUNNERS
BUT FEW CHAMPS

1t remains for the athletic experts to
tell US why cross-country running Is not
as popular in the United States as in
foreign countries. At that, 1t will be
well to substitute championships for
the word running in the preceding SEN
tence, for in ordinary cross-country COM
petitions there seems to be plenty OF
talent, whereas the fields for our cham
pionship runs over hill and dale are
nothing like what they should be as to
numbers In the big A A. u, runs this
falf only a couple Of dozen barriers have
come out to run. Similar events I'm Eng
land often muster as many as 800 run
ners. while in the recent Victorian cham
pionships the smallest field on record
turned OUT its number being 160 runners.
Its-not that cross-country rounning Is
any less popular in this country, or that
our runners are not as good as the best
as class Every Saturday during the
cool weather hundreds Of lads compete
in the weekly runs that the various attn
ledc clubs hereabouts hold, bpt II Is
seldom that these fellows turn out for
even the junior championship races.
What's the reason?

PNEHURST COURSE
SET THE REAL PACE
Provides Golf Equal to the Most
Scientific Northern.
Links

Even If the weather does continue ex-
reedingly favorable for golf in. the North,
the movement toward the Southern
courses has begun and will gather mo-
mentUm from this time on. There never
was a time when the South haG more to
offer the golfer than 1t has this winter
and its resources, In the matter of links
and accommodations, doubtless will be
taxed to an unusual degree, both be-
cause OF the natural growth of the game
and because of the war in Europe.
For several years the South has been
taking a leaf out of the Northern book
in the matter of providing for the golfer,
realizing that the better the golfing lay
out the heavier the patronage. The day
has come when the Southern resort is
assured of the desired patronage mere
ly because IT has some natural advan-
tages and a Southern climate. The de-
velopment Of golf has brought this
change about to a great degree.
1t might be said that Pinehurst set the
pace in regard to providing golf Of 4
character equal to the most scientifically
raid out courses of the North, which is
what could be expected of a resort super
intended by a mau-Hke Donald Ross. The
courses at PinShurst, as he laid them
out. are considered among the most scien-
tificalIy trapped in the. country.
Other Southern courses have not been
slow to follow the Pinehurst example
with the result that golfer goes South
nowadays with the knowledge that he is
fairly certain to find playing conditions
fully as taxing upon his golfing skill as
a majority of the courses which he fire.

In addition, he has his troubles in over

WILL
RANK TENNIS CHAMPS

New York, Dec 1S-The executive COM

the Waldorf late today.
The report of the raking committee was
up for consideration and this report.
which attempts to show the relative
merits of the American tennis stars
seemed certain to evoke considerable dis

The committee also considered the
treasurers report, which, IT was reported,
showed that the receipts from the Davis
Cup matches were over $4,000. Most Of
this money is net profit
The resolution asking that the national
tournament be shifted from Newport,

strong fight to Reep the tournament there
was planned by the supporterso ( New

Money Than Groundless -

they would have collected for their share
had the Yankees been winners.
II Is these players who will be shunted
into the New York roster before the be-
ginning Of another season. and viii help
50 materially in rewanding the fans OF
this city for the commendable manner in
which they have supported a losing team
for the last several seasons by giving
them a first division club.
The stand that Col. Rupert has taken
In this matter is perfectly justifiable. He
Is not in the least unreasonable. He Is
prepared to pay q good price for tho
franchise and what few players OF merit
are on the clubs roster at this time, but
as the club stands II can hardly be said
to be worth nearly 100000.
No grounds are included in the pur-
chase. The club has not even a mana
ger. and there are but three players en-
rolled who are worth any real money As
players. II all OF the Yankee players
were put on the black. Birdie" Cree.
Fritz Maisel. and Roger Peckinpaugh
are the only ones that would draw more
than the waiver price OF S2.50o. Cree
could be sold for about $1,000, Peckin-
paugh might bring 5000 and, while
Maisel cannot hit. his fielding might
make him worth about 5000
For the most part. these are regarded
as outside figures, and, allowing the lib
eraI estimate of $1,000 to cover all the
other players, show that Col. Rupert
and Capt Huston are paying virtually
$4,000 for the franchise. Is a baseball
franchise worth that much in these war
times2 That's the question.
Evidently Col. Rupert is Of the opinion
that his money should bring more than
the present owners have to offer him. and
he has put IL squarely up TO the Ameri-
can League to make up what he con-
siders TO be the difference in players of
more than mediocre ability.
The Washington herald., 1914-12-20

New York. Dec. BIN spite Of the fact
that those connected with the purchase Of
the Yankees insist that the price has not
been settled upon, private dispatches
from French Lick Springs received here
today state positively that the price has
been set and that the transfer Of the
stock is being held up only because OF
the inability Of Ban Johnson to name a
satisfactory manager for the club.
Colonel Rupert Is quoted as having
said that he viii not start the season
with a taliend club and try to develop II
into pennant winner. This means that
he will insist that sufficient ball players
Of ability and a competent manager be
wedged into the New York American
League machine to insure the club Of a
respectable position In the race for the
pennant.
Not Syndicate Ball.
While this may appear like syndicate
baseball. in a broader sense it is not 1t
is~ the game system that Is being prac-
ticed by the Federal League, and Is pure
Iy a war measure. The Yankees will un-
doubtedIy be given some surplus ma
terfal by various clubs In the league to
strengthen the New York club and by so
doing the league will as a whole reap the
benefit accordingly.
This could and should have been done
some time ago Players Of ability have
been carried by some clubs and have been
kept on the bench. This has been an in
justice to the players. inasmuch as It
kept them from demonstrating their real
worth and deriving the benefit in increas-
ed salary. which. naturally. would have
been more substantial as regulars than
as utility players AT the same time the
clubs which refused to part with these
players were cutting off their noses to
spite their faces because they were not
getting as much money in this city as

White mauled Ritchie all over a Mil

cision and Charley will have to wait I'M
til he gets Freddie Welsh for twenty
rounds. with a decision attached. before
he can hope TO win the championship.

moral victory over a worlds cham
