New Golf Rules
Force Americans
To Change System

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-The Ameri-
British open championship next June
will face a system of play unusual
both in this country and England. Ac-
cording to a recent decision of the
managing clubs the entrants will play
qualifying rounds on one or more
courses, and the loo returning the
best scores will be eligible for the
championship play on the Prestwick

navation will be of particular inter-
est to Jerome d. Travers. Heinrich
Schmidt, Francis Ouiment and Fred
Herreshoff, the quartet of United
States players planning golfing in
vasion of the British Isles this sum
mer.
Announcement has not been made
of the courses to be used for the
qualifying rounds, but it is believed
that the ST. Nicholas and Troon
courses will be selected for the pre-
urinary tests. The constantly in
creasing entry list. with its attendant
congestion, when the entire tourna-
ment Is played over one course, made
the change in the rules necessary and
caused the adoption or the following
conditions:
THE qualifying rounds will be held
on course other than the champion
ship course.
'All competitors will play one round
! on each course, and the 100 return
ing the best scores will play In the
championship proper four rounds OF
the green.

A. A. Y. METHODS
NOT RIGHT SAYS He

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-Anent the
suspension of Kiviat and Kohlemai-
men, the two fastest mile runners
around New York. for alleged parti-
cipation in framed-up race a few
days ago. a critic in that city has the
following to say relative to the meth
DDS of the A. A II. Investigation;
There is much need for house
cleaning In track and held athletics.
The members Of the registration eem-
mittee can be applauded for a show
of interest and activity. but there Is
q right way and a wrong way of In
stitutinE an Investigation, and it
strikes me that the wrong way was
adopted in this case. Even If the
men were fippodroming. 1t would not
be an easy charge to prove. Assum-
dead heat. 1t would be quite another
thing to fulfil their pledge. for truly
il would be almost n hard task
as for that well-known camel to
crawl through the eye Of a needle.
In all probability. the Investigation
will amount to nothing. as Kivlat in
any case appears to have the best
evidence in the world that he was Ill
and far from himself. Under the cir
cumstances. then, 1t seems almost as
il he was deserving Of praise and not
punishment in filing his engagement
rather than disappoint the crowd.
This Is not said In defense Of one
runner or the other. but simply to
point out that justice can be reached
only through fairness even as II
should be tempered with mercy"

SUGGEST LIMIT
RESERVE LIST
ARTHUR IRWIN WOULD HANE.
SEVEN TO NINE PLAYERS
HELD.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2.-The sugges-
ton made by Arthur Irwin. former big
Lacquer. and now a baseball scout.
relative to limiting the number OF
players that a club can reserve each
season Is one Of the best that has
edged it's way within the glare of the
sporting spotlight for many a moon.
Twins suggestion. however. cannot
be taken as it stands. 1t would work
too great an injury to baseball teams.
He would limit the number of play
ers that each club could reserve each
season to seven, or nine. This num-
Der, It may readily be seen, is en-
tirely too small, as team left with
only seven or nine of its players
would have to rebuild entirely.
If the limit were set at fifteen the
plan would work out wonderfully.
Fifteen men would leave the infield
and outfeld intact and would allow
the team to retain seven battery mem
bers-surely q sufficient number with
which to operate when bolstered up
by the recruits.
Limiting a teams reserve list to fif-
teen It would mean that many play
ers. of no value to one team except IN
substitution positions. could be OBJ
tanned by club that has need OF
their regular services. The case oi
the Philadelphia Athletics Is a sam
pie. Connie Mack has some mighty
good substitute infielders-player:
that would make their mark IL they
could play regularly-yet they have
no chance to supplant either Mc1nnes
Baker, Collins or Barry.
II Comics substitutes were placed
on the market they would he grabbed
up speedily by clubs that have weak
infields, and in this way the clubs
fielding strength would be increased
and the player would be given q
chance to show his real worth and
make himself valuable enough tc
earn more money than he now does
as a substitute.
, Such a scheme. 1t seems. would
tighten up the league races and make
baseball a better paying proposition
all around. Practically every one Of
the first division teams today carrie:
a secondary defense that Is far bet
| ter than the first defense OF the tai
end clubs.
The same is true concerning the
pitching STATS If the fifteen players
reserve rule We're in effect Ii would
mean that many OF the first division
clubs would have to let their 'seconc
string. pitchers go to some of the
other clubs, not so we'll fortified.
The league could appoint commit
tee of magnates to set valuation or
every player that was not included ir
! the reserve list Each club that want
ed particular player could put In 6

club wanted a player. lots could be
drawn under the same system as dur.
