Members of the Woodland Mass,
Golf club, where Francis Ouimet. open
champion of America. developed his
game, will pay the champions expenses
to the British and French golting cham
pionships in the spring. Contributions
sufficient for this purpose are assured.
Secretary French says:
THE directors and the members Of
the club, at their annual meeting.
authorized the raising of the funds to
pay Ouimet's actual travelling ex-
penses during the trip. and the d!rec-
tors have estimated that $500 will be
sufficient. They also have decided
that this fund shall be known as the
Woodland Ouimet fund. and shall be
in the custody Of the treasurer. and
shall be paid out only by vote of the
directors. This plan follows the regu-
lations laid down by the U. S. G. a.
and forestalls any criticism of Oui-
NETS amateur standing. If there is
any surplus left over it will be used
for purchasing prizes to be played for
by the members of the club.
Letters have been received from
various clubs in England expressing
their satisfaction over Ouimet's entry
to their amateur championship and
assuring him a royal welcome upon
his arrival. He probably will take
part in the following important golf
events. besides many others Of lesser
Importance:
st. Georges cup at Sandwich. May
l4-15; amateur championship at Sand
wich. May 10 to %: amateur cham
pionship Of France at La Bouille. May

wick. June 1S and following days.
Charley Herzog, the new manager of

American baseball stunt, a training
school for raw baseball recruits aspir-
Ing to honors on the professional dia-
mond.
Herzog will invite youngsters to re-
port at Redland field each morning the
Reds are at home, and they will be al
lowed to mingle and practice with the
Red team with the view of either later
being signed with the Reds or minor
baseball teams.
Herzog feels certain Of landing some
stars his way. He points to the success
Of Jack Barry, discovered by Connie
Mack on the Baltimore baseball lots.
Manager Harry Smith signed four
men for his Newark IN. J.) 1914 team.

dent Charles Ebbets. Jr.. is very sweet.
Erhard had a short trial with the
Washington Americans last season, but
injured his foot. He was a member Of
the Columbia university nine on which
Eddie Collins played.
