are sure to get hard knocked each year
when the legislatures meet. Regulation
of these sports by restrictive or permits

law makers.
There h now at Albany one bill 10

letio commission created by the Frawley
law, and another 70 allow public boxing
exhibitions TO go twenty rounds and to
a decision, instead OF ten rounds and no
decision, as now. The first comes from
Chautauqua county. which has found that
going in for the uplift by the mental
route is profitable, while the other comes
from this city, where the politicians find
their constituents stronger for the ply

features.
Ever since boxing has been the sport

part of the population which has sought
to curb the sport through legislation. But

Big LEAGUERS. PLAY GOLF
Ty Cobb, McGraw, Mathewson, Zim-
norman, Bender All Like the
Scotch Game.
SOME MANAGERS TABOO IT

Some managers in the major base ball
leagues forbid their players to engage in
goif at least during the base ball season
saying that golf interferes with the play
ers' batting. gpoiing the swing or chop
they use at the plate.
Ty Cobb is an enthusiastic golfer. He
spent most of his time last winter and
spring on the links at Augusta. Ga. After
the season starts he rarely misses an OPP
portunity to engage in a golf match dur
ing the morning. For time he quit It.
but resumed the pastime again.
And with all his golfing, Cobb leads
the major league batters. All this golfing
may injure some players batting and
again. It may not, but surely It does not
seem TO have injured Cobb's average.
Christy Mathewson. the veteran twirler
of the Giants. is another base ball cele-
brity who never misses a chance 70 play
golf. But probably the most enthus-
iastic golf player among the baseballers
is. Adrian G. Arson, Familiarity known as
Pop" To him belongs the distinction
of being the first base ball star to com
pete in the western amateur champion
ship. This the veteran did at Kent Coun-
try club last summer. and he qualified
for one OF the prizes and lasted several
rounds
Great ZIm some Golfer.
Heinie Zimmerman. the best batsman OF
the Chicago Cubs. may be found playing
golf whenever the opportunity affords
He loves the game, and no doubt would

Zimmerman Is a tremendous driver. and
once, when the Cubs were playing an
exhibition game In an Iowa city. was
invited TO play a round of golf at a nearby
course. He did not confide TO his host
that he (zimmerman) ever had played
before, so the local golfer showed him
how to make tee shot.
''Hsinie' said nothing. but on his first
shot with the wood sent the bah flying
straight down the course for nearly 800
yards. The instructive lesson came to an
end right there. Several OF the Cub
ball players are frequently seen playing
on the public course. at Jackson park.
Chicago. Archer the great catcher, is
especially an enthusiastic convert to golf,
Not all base ball players believe that
golf units a player for effective batting
at the plate. In fact. most Of them de-
clare that Golf Is extremely beneficial
in keeping the men in good condition.
Chief Bender. who was easily the best
golfer In the American league, until he
became a Fed, Is another convert.
