DENNY KAUFF seems to like
- breaking into the imelight of
publicity just as much as "Rubc"
Vanguard. The latest report is that
Benny has signed a three year con-
tract with the Giants at a yearly
salary of $500. But Harry Hemp
stead, president of the New York
club, says that there is absolutely
nothing to it" Well, there will be-
The publicity will be good for Benny
to grab a couple Of weeks in vaude-
vile before the hero worshiping
New York fans.
NEW YORK has never had any
particular fancy for the Federals
for the simple reason that the league
started out without first consulting
the big town. Now that the Federals
have brought the organized majors
to time, the newspapers are accusing
the Nationals Of running true to
form and quitting to the Federals
Just as they did to the Brotherhood
in 1890 and the American league IN
1908" But if the Feds had made
their headquarters in New York
instead of Chicago there would have
been a different tune.
CALIFORNIA starts the enforce
- ment of new traffic regulations
and the use Of DINNERS next SatuI-
day. In FL Paso, the motorists seem
to be trying to forget that we have
DINNER law.
FRIDAY night will be Christmas
eve and there viii be no games
in the Church Basketball league but
the teams will resume the schedule
on New Years eve. Several Christ
mas day sport attractions are re-
ported as under way and managers Of
teams having any engagements for
Saturday OF Sunday are asked to
send in their announcements not
later than Friday morning.
DILL BALL, head of the ST. Louis
Feds, says that he Is gong TO
stick by Fielder Jones, manager Of
the Terriers. So if Ball buys the
Cardinals, It is likely that Jones Will
be the manager. And Walt McCredie,
of the Portland Coast league club,
asserts that if Jones ties up with
any major league club, the Portland
club will at once enter into some
agreement with that club to act as
farm" for young players. Looks as
though Jones has a fine chance of
getting back into the o. B. major
ranks.

FEW YORK. Dec 22.-Crafts w
~ Higgins unsheathed his fluent
i pen recently and composed an
article which jabs some Of the existing
golfing rules which are inconsistent IN
the extreme.
The Inconsistencies in the
Rules Of Golf"-which appeared in the
Golfers Magazine, points out the
popularity Of some Of the rules. Aig
gins aims most OF his brOadsides at the
rules governing the dead and the NOV
ing ball. and the article really is an
appeal for the amendment Of these
rules so that common sense may enter
into the observance Of some Of the
golfing laws
What is needed is an international
committee to frame a simple and IN
derstandable set Of rules for the game
declares Higgins.
Higgins's article points out a number
Of peculiar conditions that arise in gtNf
games at times, and shows how i'm
possible il is for a golfer to observe
some Of the existing rules when those
conditions arise
The rule Higgins attacks with vigor
is this one;
II q ball in motion is stopped or de-
Elected by an agency outside the match
the ball must be played from its stop

Here's PuzzIer.

that the ball must be played from

on the scene But suppose the baby

rules are quite clear-the player must
play the ball from where it lies.

situation be a trifle complicated IL the
father of the child was acting as the
chauffeur for the carriage2"
How About Trousers Cuff:
Higgins asks what should be done If
the drive landed in the upturn of the
trousers of a spectator who was stand
ing still at the moment the ball landed
The rules state specifically that the
ball must be played from the position

OF a second. He was behind Jimmy
Britt the night the loquacieus Native
Son crossed bats with Willis Fitzger-
aid, the Brooklyn candy man.
Although they've never said that
the Spider went to college" he has
quite a lingo of his own.
The night that James fought Willis,
Mr.. Kelly was in the corner, and Mr..
Kelly was tossing advice about with
negligent abundance.
aDella-Brittl" yelled Kelly at the
top of his voice, @Della-Brittl" The
wise ones eyed one another and said,
That's a code signal; watch some
thing happen"
Mr.. Britt, however, was calmer than
ever. After each rally Kelly would
yell again, Della Brittl7 and James
would slow down to a walk. The
fight went 20 rounds and Britt was
handed the decision.

"Beck's" Amen Corner
BY aBECKp

D0NT overlook that big football
game on New Years day be
tween the Fourth Field artillery, of
Fort Bliss, and the 18th infantry, of
Douglas, for the championship among
army teams on the border. It's go
ing TO be a hummer if the Douglas
team lives up to its reputation. The
Fourth has one of the best teams
seen in the southwest this year and
the game should prove real holiday
attraction. The soccer men are en-
deavoring to arrange an exhibition
game as a preliminary.
BASKETBALL fans viii be inter
ested in knowing that the new
rules make fouls for the following
acts: Coaching by anyone officially
connected with the rival teams;
touching the ball after it has been
awarded to an opponent out of
bounds; entering the game without
reporting to the referee; leaving the
floor before the end of a period
without permission OF the referee
The visiting team has the choice of
baskets.

Or Spectators Hat.
Suppose the bail landed in the rim
Of a spectators hat-and the spectator
was standing still at the time What
them asks Higgins Tie rules state
that the golfer must play the ball from
where it lies, but the spectator might
object slightly to this procedure, es-
pecially if the golfer decided upon US
ing one Of his iron clubs"
And also let US suppose that the drive
lands in an automobile standing by the
roadside. Before the golfer arrives on
the scene the chariot moves away. The
rules state the golfer must play the
ball from the place where it stopped
But the place has moved. What is the
golfer to dO2 order back the machine2
Here is another Higgins question
and humorous Higgins answer:
How to Remove Obstacle.
-One rule states that loose impedi-
ments on the putting-green may be
lifted, and then goes on to prohibit
touching the ground between the ball
and the cup. If one wants TO remove
a half burned match, lying in the path
of the ball. how is he to do so without
touching the ground2 Answer Bor-
row a hat pin from some lady. and pick
the match up with the pin"
If a lady, when playing, is unfor-
tunate enough to have the ball lodge
in a tree, must she shin up the tree
trunk or may she have the use of
step-ladder to enable her to reach the
spot where the ball lodged" asks Hig-
gins.
In conclusion, the golfing editor
says:
Verify. the rules Of golf are past
comprehension Many Of them are
supposed to mean something different
from what they state The beauty of
the rules is that it requires one to take
a day off to find the rule he wants.
and when he does find il the meaning
of the rule appears to be different
