tice related to a sport but obviously this should not include the authorship of a successful book on golf such as MT. Wignam, MT. Travis, and other amateurs have written. The writing of books is no part of golf. An en- tertaining book on golf might be writ ten by one who had never played the game at all, who, so far from being a golfing professional. had no claim to be considered an amateur player. Authorship is not to be confounded with the subjects ~of an authors books. If accepting payment for writ ing about golf cost a player his standing as an amateur, the gentle men who describe tournaments so well on the sporting pages would have to be classified as professionals, which would be manifestily absurd.
 On the other hand, the work Of a golf professional comprises the manu- facture and sale of clubs, instruction In play for hire and salary. the keep ing of greens and the laying out of courses. It is we'll known that many amateurs have constructed golf courses, but the question now arises if it is permissible for one wno accepts payment for that work, who depends upon it wholly or in part for his live lihood, to call himself an amateur. Here lies the chief difficulty with which the association must contend in defining the difference between amateur and professional. Of course, the new rule, when it is decided upon, will not be retroactive. Amateurs wno have been drawn into the bust ness of laying out courses for pay will have time to consider whether they would prefer to give up that work or their standing as amateurs have more skill in laying out links than many of the professionals. It seems likely that the argument will hold that no amateur should derive profit from the source. An amateur might develop a nice skill as a club maker, too, and the clubs he made for his own might suit others as well. He would surely not be per mitted to make clubs for sale while enjoying the advantages of an anna teur golfer. The dispute indicates the large development of golf in this country. Complications have deNe'- opod which were not thought of when there were comparatively lew golfers.

Amateurs in Golf.
(New York Times. )

Now that the matter has been taken

 the present to establish it, so that there may be no disputes hereafter. Spea king broadly, and according to the custom in sports, no person may be claSsed as an amateur who de-
