Disregards Precedent
Keeping in Running for
National Open
Championship.

The Fox Hills Golf Club wants the
open championship Of the United States
next year. and it intends to remain in
the running notwithstanding the fact
that by so doing all precedent is being
disregarded. This statement was made
TO a representative Of The Tribune last
night, after it had been learned that
Robert c. Watson, president Of the
United States Golf Association. had
given it as his opinion that because the
metropolitan open had been awarded TO
Fox Hills it could hardly expect to have
the other plum.
When asked for an opinion on the
situation. Watson stated that while
there was no rule 10 prevent such an
occurrence he did not think il likely
that one club would have both tourna-
ments. He added, however, that that
was only his personal opinion. and that
the final decision would rest entirely
with the delegates when they gathered
al the annual meeting az the Waldorf
Astoria on January s. Watson finished
with the statement that prior 20 taking
the metropolitan Fox Hills loomed up
as the most likely candidate for the
national. but that now it looked as il
Baltusrol would be the choice.
Joseph J. ODonohue, jr., pres dent OF
the Fox Hills Golf Club, came back
with the following:
"The Fox Hills Golf Club has no no
tion of Withdrawing from the field, and
We will make every possible sportsman
like cndeavor 10 secure the United
States Golf Association open champion
ship. As most followers Of the game
know, we have a good course, and it is
being constantly improved. ] also know
that a choice in our favor would be well
received among the professionals"
J. 5. Primrose, chairman OF the
greens committee, who is also on the
board Of directors of the Fox Hills
club, said:
while we appreciate the privilege
Of being awarded any Of the champion
ships under the auspices OF either the
United States or Metropolitan associ-
ations we are, Of course, keener for tho
United States Golf Association affair
We will, therefore, continue TO let j
be known that our club Is IN the flelC
/ for the national open. The mere fac
that We already have the metropolitan
does not, in my opinion, stsni in tn
way"
From another source it was learnel

a point which pros" do not overlook.
They argue that at almost any other
course likely TO be chosen raj road
journeys to and from New York OF con-
siderable length would be necessary.
That the interest among golfers
throughout the country with regard 20
the proposed change of the rule deiin-
ing an amateur is not az a low ebb was
illustrated further yesterday. when
Robert Watson stated that thus far
eighty out Of ninety-one clubs had writ
ten that they were in favor OF more
stringent Interpretation. The United
States Golf Association president added
that the executive board had received
many suggestions. The proposed
amendment. which appeared in yester-
dav's Tribune. was the handIwork OF
Charles b. Macdonald, founder Of the
National Golf Links Of America.
Macdonald's Interpretation IS likely
to receive a good deal Of consideration
at the annual meeting. In fact, an Of
fetal Of one nearby club said last night
that the delegates from his organiza-
tion would be instructed to vote IN
favor Of the amendment in question.

Change in the

At special meeting Of the executive
committee of the Amateur Hockey Club

night, the various changes in the play

mittee, were adopted after a lengthy
discussion.
The changes were all Of technical
nature and will not alter the basic
principle Of the sport The introduc-
tion of a goal zone was the most revo-
lutionary measure. 1t was decided to
have a zone twenty feet inside and
from ten to twenty-five feet outside
the field Of play. in which the defend
ing team may do legally many things
that IL has been doing Illegally for
years.
Losfng oTside, the covering up Of
an attacking player, the starting down

opponent from behind goals, are some
Of the things that may now be done le-
gally by the defending players while
they are in the goal zone. Zone lines
will be used and these will give de-

Princeton's hockey team easily de-

ers at the st. Nicholas Rink last night
by score of to 2. The Tigers
showed a stronger attack and a SUI
perior defensive game, and in the sec
ond half had things practically their
own way.
A. the end of the first half each team
had scored one goal, the Princeton
men drawing first blood. The Irish
players showed a better game IN this
period than in the second half, when
they seemed tired and proved an easy
prey to the speedy attack Of the col
lege team.
The Irish-Americsns tried hard to
get on even terms with the Princeton
bows in the last half, but they could
not pierce the Princeton defence more
than once.

RITCHIE ANXIOUS
TO BOX WELSH
SAYS He Will Make l35
Pounds for Bout with
the Champion.

Willie Ritchie. former lightweight
champion Of the world, is creating
some little interest in his doings by
offering to box Freddie Welsh. He an
nounces to the world that the one burn
ing desire of his life is 10 wipe out the
defeat he suffered at the hands Of the
Englishman. He even went so far as
to announce mis- readiness 10 make l35
pounds at o'clock.
"Scotty" Montieth, the manager OF
Johnny Dundee. believes that Richie
is stalling. He says that Ritchie could
not make 135 pounds on the day Of
battle if, to use the vernaculsr, "he cut
off leg" Montieth told story last
night which is fairly convincing. Ac-
cordng to Scotty, Tom McCsrey offered
Ritchie guarantee Of $500 for a
twenty-round bout with Dundee, the
weight TO be 1875 pounds. Ritchie re-
fused TO make the weight, holding out
tor a bout at cstchweights.
The willing Dundee agreed, but un-
der condition that Ritchie step on the
scales and let his true weight be
known. Even this proposal could not
please Ritche. He said he would not
weigh in. but would guarantee not 70
be over LAP pounds.
Ritchie was certainly playing Il safe
He was only asking handicap Of some

OF ELECTRICITY
MAR. 4, AT CHAUTAUQUA

Louis Williams, the electrical en-
tertainer, will present at the Chau-
tauqua what is pronounced as the
most marvellous programs of the
Chautauqua platform, Wonders of
Electricity" Prof. Williams carries
with him an elaborate equipment of
dYnamos, generators, motors and
electrical and chemical apparatus,
which have cost him thousands Of
dollars. By this means he gives
series OF beautiful and wonderful
experiments, illustrating what cleo
tricity has accomplished and what it
may do in the future.
The man is a wizard. In an airy
manner he shows his audience how
to commit suicide easily, break open
safe without noise or force and
many other equally startling things.
He makes no attempt to give a scien-
tifc, erudite talk, but so enlivens his
discourse with facetious remarks and
dramatic object lessons that his au-
dience is held spellbound.
