Intimated That Some
"6" Men May Be Eli
gible to Tourney

NEW YORK Aug. An advance
word Of cheer may be given at this
time TO certain golfers who because
OF their six-strcke handicap are in
eligible for the national amateur
championship tournament carded
for the links OF the Country club OF
Detroit Howard F. Whitney secre-
tary OF the United States Golf asso-
citation, said last night, that the ex-
ccutive committee was working on
a list of extras" which would be
ready for publication within a few
days.
AS practically all amateurs know,
only those handicapped from scratch
to inclusive. are eligible for the
championship. There are good
many men capable of playing real
ly good golf. and II may be that the
committee will deal literally with a
number In that group.
Any golfer whose name does not
appear on the Official handicap list
de; iriDg handicap always has the
privilege of submitting 10 the secre-
tary for consideration by the execu-
tive committee three scores verified
by marker and certified by the sec.
retary Of his club of three rounds OF
eighteen holes. each played on diff
ferent days ever the regular course
OF a club, a member OF the associa-
tion, together with such other evi-
dence as the committee may re-
cuire.
Thus far. no entries have been re-
ceived from abroad, but II is under
stood that several Canadians are GER
tain to be at Detroit. George Lyon.

crossing the North sea. the party
saw an English ship blown up by
a German mine This sight. togeth-
er with the fact that Dugan reached
England just before the famous Yep
pelin raid on Scarborough. may ex-
plain the Jockeys Joy at safely
reaching this country. Just says
that the American jockeys who
were at Warsaw last summer had
plenty OF war. They were still
there when the Germans at one
time advanced within six miles OF
the Polish capital. and he told Of
the elaborate defense OF the Rus
SLAMS. Among other things, the
race track was heavily mined.
Three American jockeys are still
in Russia. and probably fed War
saw just beore the capture OF the
city. Johnny Moane is now train
ing and driving trotting horses, and
Billy Cannon Is still riding the run
ners and training a bit on the side.
Winkfeld. the Negro rider from this
country. is now rated as the best
jockey In Russia, since the Dugan
boys left.
Before leaving Warsaw, the Dugan
party saw an amusing incident. Cos
sacks from wild part OF the en-
pire were brought to Warsaw to aid
in the city's defense. They had
never visited a modern city before
and were under the impression when
they reached the Polish metropolis
that they were in Berlin. So they
proceeded TO shoot up the town. and
had started to make good job Of
il before an interpreter was found
to explain matters.
Just declares Russia Is one OF the
greatest racing countries OF the
world. although the war has ham,
pered the sport. Trotters are espe-
cially priced. as can he guessed
from the Wholesale expectations o.
trotting horses from this country
TO the land OF the bear. Daily pro-
grams OF Is races. starting In the
forenoon, are the usual thing. and
much of the racing is done under
electric lights.
