May Not Be Correct Way.

1t has not been proved, however, that
this is the correct way. for other results
have shown contrary evidence. 1t ls
usually admitted that the low handicap
player goes off his game less frequently
that the poor golfer loses many strokes
on one hole, also which accounts for a
reduction of his handicap to three
fourths, and it has been suggested in a
previous article that the giving OF
bis1ues is a much fairer method or deal-
ing with all matches which go beyond
the medal stage where handlcaps are
allowed. .-,
This latter system has always seemed
to me to contain the greatest merit. put
the difficulties in determining upon the
ratio have not yet been fully met. IN
place. therefore, of an elaborate system
involving much fighting, I would sug-
sest a scheme which has certain ap-
peal: 1t is to give the high handicap
PLAYER a certain number of holes as a
start before any of the eighteen holes
have been played and then let the
golfers fight 1T out on that line. Ihere
are a number of reasons why this would
make a match more interesting to each
one To begin with there would be none
of the feeling out process. 1t would
be a struggle right from the start The
golfer who gave the handicap would
know before he started just what was
required of him and would set about his
task with a mind more fully exercised
upon the task in hand than the usual
uncertainty which prevails. I can see
no benefit to be gained from this feeling
Of uncertainty, for there is enough of it
already in the making of the shots. par
ticularly of those who are not any too
good golfers. There would be no short
eniug of the matches. either. for even If
the handicapped one did win the first
two holes there would be greater num-
ber left for the other golfer to get in his
share of unexpected or unusual wins:
these unlooked-for wins and losses about
even up in every ten holes. it will be
found. and the luck so-called, which en-
ters in is almost a negligible quantity.

A part bonus and part straigne
ealary system in the base ball players
contracts would do much to correct
tome of the present salary injustices
OF base ball, declares an expert.
At the present time many magnates
are bewailing the fact that some of
their stare who are drawing TAT
salaries under long-term. ironclad
contracts are not giving their best
efforts, while some of the young play
ers who are outbatting and out
fielding the veterans are bowling be-
cause they are tied to contracts that
call for only one-half or one-third
of the salary that is paid to the high
priced shirkers.
This condition could be remedied for
all time by paying to each player
fixed salary. of small amount each
year, and putting schedule of
bonuses in his contracts which would
enable him to get paid for what he
really does
Suggestion in Detail.
The suggestion. concretely. is this:
Fix standard salary for each play
er. somewhere around $500 or $4,000
a year. which sum the player Is to get
no matter how his work shows up.
Then arrange a bonus system that is
applica BILE to each branch of base ball
ers
In the case of pitchers, bonus of
1900 could go to all pitchers finish
ing the season with an average of
500 or better, $500 bonus money to
the men winning 60 per cent of their
games So 600 bonus to the men win
ming two-thirds of their games, $4,000
bonus to men winning three-fourths Of
their games. $4,000 bonus to men fin-
ishing with a mark over .750.
In this way a pitcher would get paid
fo- what he does during the present
season--not on his record Of several
seasons before. And in this way a kid
pitcher would have fair chance
TO get big money as a veteran. All the
hid would need TO do would be to win
games

No Settled System.

The question then arises as to what
method should be used in handicapping
the golfers, that is. how shall the num-
ber of holes to be given be awarded.
There would have to be some different
provision, of course, from the regular
method for when strokes are given on
certain holes the prospects of the one
giving the handicap are materially les
sened so far as each hole goes, while for
every hole on which there Is a handicap
there is one less chance in eighteen for
the low mark man getting a reduction.
This is offset, quite so. I think, by the
fact that the full eighteen holes. or as
many of them as necessary are to be
played at scratch with the usual in
ferior feeling Of the poorer player and
so on. But If. as should be the case. the
handicap siXteens are played in classes
and only those are eligible who are the
recipients of certain handicaps, say from
scratch to eight. eight to sixteen and
sixteen to twenty-four, then the number
of holes which should be given could be
easily determined.
Ny own opinion on the matter is that
there is no settled system of thus fix
ing the number of allotted holes solely
because of the differences there are in
the courses, and that the action should
be left to the committees of the various
clubs to so determine, but I feel that
not less than ree-fourths of the handt-
caps should be granted. If one player
had twelve and another had sixteen a
