GOLF SEASON TO
BEGIN ON APRIL Is
SeavieW Club Announces
First Tournament of
Year in North.

Contrary to recent reports that the
Seaview Golf Club, near Atlantic City,
would hold no tournaments until June.
announcement was made yesterday
that there will be two next month.
The first is carded for April Is. ls
and II, and will mark the formal open
ing OF Il, Northern competitive sea-
son, while the second will come a week
later, April %, % and "a. time which
conflicts with the spring fixture of the
Country Club of Lakewood.
Conditions which have not been the
rule in the regular tournaments have
been established for the first meeting
on this new seaside links. The COM
petition will be restricted TO members
OF clubs in the United States Golf As
sociatiOn who are rated at twelve
strokes or more, with view TO giving
a chance 10 those who. if they happen
to qualify in the first or second
division, generally meet with speedy
elimination at the hands of the more
expert.
In the second tournament there will
be no such restriction, and it is ex-
pected that the field will be one of the
finest ever mustered in these spring
gatherings. Francis Ouimet, the ma
tiOnal amateur champion. is planning
to stop off at Seaview on his way
North, and possibly will take part

the adjacent and outlying districts Of

runners was aided most enthusiast
cally by certain rather Questionable
pieces of fielding.
Ragan was found for eight hits in
the five frames he operated on the
mound, and these, with four passes and
n pardonable error by Lew McCarty,
who had the ball knocked out of his
hands by Leslie Nunamaker. netted the
American Ieaguers half a dozen runs.

MAY PAY SALARIES
TO BOXING SOLONS
Bill introduced at Albany for the
Purpose of Abolishing Unpaid
Men on Commission.

Albany, March 30.-A bill introduced
to-day by Assemblymsn John Malone,
of Albany. would abolish the present
boxing commission and substitute a
commission Of three members, TO be
appointed by the Governor, and to re-
ceive salaries of $4,000 each.
The present commission is made up
of three members, who serve without
pay, but Mr.. Malone says that the
added expense will be more than taken
care of by the increase, provided by
his bill, Of the tax on boxing exhibi-
tions of from . to IA per cent.
This provision, he declared, will net
the state $4,000 more than under the
law now on the books.
The present commission is allowed
only $4,000 for the salary OF its secre-
tary and other expenses. II Is COM
posed of James R. Price and Major j..
J. Dixon, of New York, and Frank S.
O'Neil, of Binghamton.
Charles j. Harvey is the secretary.
Mr.. Malone believes that salaried COM
missioners can handle boxing exhibi-
tions to better advantage by giving
more time to the work.

meut questioned and not once was he

baseman. pitcher and umpire in the
last week, and, though he proved ef-
icicnt IN each task, It was in the last
named that he showed supremacy.
Ollie kirmayer was Devlin's first
pitcher, and the big recruit showed
that he had not fully recovered from
his recent attack of grip. He lost
weight during his illness, and the
germs took the hop right out Of his
fast ball. jim Thorpe clouted one of
his offerings for home run. but not
all the other scores of either side were
of such genuineness, for the fielding of
both teams ranged from poor to indf-
ferent.
Arthur Fletcher maintained a batting
pace which has been the marvel of the
camp. In the last eight games. exhi-
bitions and practice contests combined,
the shortstop of the Giants has made
22 hits. Murray, Doyle, Lobert and
Merkle are other men who are batting
with vehemence, and Jim Thorpe has
just begun 10 Chamber out of q slump
which seized him as soon ss he was
assigned TO the first team.
Thorpe had no home run monopoly
this afternoon, for JEFF Tesreau hit a
drive 10 centretield which enabled him
20 move all the way round. 1t seemed
for a time as If the mammoth pitcher
would be compelled to halt at third, on
account Of tire trouble, but he made
the necessary repairs and kept on his
way.
Jack Murray, who was drafted for
inueld duty, showed that he could do
as many one-handed stunts in short

completed two catches with the aid Of
only his glove and his left hand.

Yale Authorities Are Worried
About Glass Team Funds.

New Haven, March 30.-The Yale
athletic authorities have threatened to
publish list of all college and scien-
tiic school freshmen at Yale who fail
to contribute to the support OF their
class teams. A ten days campaign
for funds also will be made, the idea
being to overcome a financial strin-
gency, which, it is feared, may seri-
ously handicap the freshman teams.
1t is pointed out that Of some 500
freshmen only about $50 have contrib
uted funds or have given satisfactory
evidence Of financial inability TO do so.
The campaign is TO start immediate
" after the Easter recess, and at the
end OF the ten days list of the nom
subscribers will be published.

WASHINGTON. Dec. GA portable
military and naval Typographical map
for use of air scouts in the field, and
which will enable them to make quick
and realistic reports Of observations,
has been invented by Gunnery Ser
geant Herman G. Stroschein OF the
United States marine corps.
Worm gearing, operated by tele-
scopic thumb screws from tho sides
OF the map. will create elevations and
depressions thereon, showing terrain,
contours Of valleys. bodies of water,
etc, and should make. the ayiator's rc-
port clear to the newest man in the
field OF operations. stroschein claims.
Tho map will be very light though
strongly built, and It is thought By
many military men that one Of the
great problems confronting ayiators
in the fleld-speed and accuracy In
observation dcscription-will have
been overcome by the use OF the ma
rine sergeant's invention.
Gunnery Sergeant Stroschein is on
duty at the headquarters OF the United
States marine corps in this city.
