Indoor Golf Schools
Open Way to Duffer

an easy opportunity TO do so spent
March and the first two weeks in April
developing mis- game and ironing out
the kinks, his game would begin 20
show a big improvement by the time
the courses were officially opened,
which means that a great amount OF
additional pleasure would be added 10
mis- seasons fund of fun and JOY.
But in the main this advice will be
wasted, as all advice is for the greater
part. The gentlemsnly duffer Will
arise and tell you that he hasn't the
Latience to practise, or the time. or the
opportunity and that anyhow he is in
golf for fun and isn't making ousl-
ness out Of it.
Which is all very well. Only it isn't.
ANY entry in any game likes 70 play
that game as well as possible unless
he is boob or a duffer at heart. And
most Of those who say they haven't the
time or the opportunity have plenty OF
both-when il comes to matter OF
giving up thirty minutes or sixty MIN
utes only three times a week.
The main truth is that most OF these
haven't the patience, or never think
about it, Well, acquiring bit OF pa
thence ia even more important than
acquiring a golf swing. Patience
the first long jump TO success, what
ever the enterprise. And after the
golfer has broken in for a preliminary
indoor practice. he will be surprised
70 find how easy il is 70 resume at the
next chance.
There are a number Of things be-
sides correct swinging that the golfer
can work on now for the next six
weeks. until April calls him back to
the valleys and the hills. And the most
important of these is the habit OF
keeping ones head still, frequently
termed as keeping ones eye on the
ball" This fault Of shifting the head
or looking up causes more missed snots
in golf than any other one thing. Ana
yet only q very few practise the art OF
looking a. the ball as they would prac-
tise the art OF driving or putting or
using mashis.
II the golfer would only give TINS
important matter extra attention 81
the start, by the first of May ne wou d
have the proper habit OF keeping the
head still well developed, and many a
shot that otherwise would find bunk
er or a trap or some other yawning
abyss would sail along IN the general
direction OF the green, 81 least
Another good point is for the golfer
20 get in all the putting practice pos
sble, both now and sfterward flLty
per cent of all shots are taken on the
putting greens. The golfer who IS
willing 70 practise short approaching
from thirty yards away up 10 the edge
Of the green and then give time 20
handling the putter will be surprised
to find how quickly his score begins 70
improve and in what greatly increased
respect he is being held by opponents
VINO formerly took his play as yoAe.
There is nothing in the world more
capable Of striking terror into. the
heart OF a golfer than the knowledge
hat he is up against a player who IS
deadly with the chip shot and hrst
class putter. He knows that FELLOW IS
never out Of the running. even II ne
misses a drive or long approach

COLLEGE Men to SWin1
For Titles on Friday

J. Dougherty. Robert Stahl. Gale Far
quhar and Charles Haydock.
No better proof could be found Of
the keen interest now taken by the
public in water sports than the big
crowd which attended the meet at the
New York Athletic Club last Wednes-
day. Torrential rains and a gale or
wind made one think longingly OF a
coy fireside, yet men and women be-
gan to pour into the club natatorium
at an early hour, and long before the
first event was called the place was
tanned TO the roof.
Few pools offer facilities for accom-
modating spectators, and this proves a
severe handicap to swimming, both here
and in most American cities.
Quite recently the Illinois Athletic
Club. Of Chicago, attempted to arrange
an Eastern tour for its champion team,
but even the small guarantees asked
70 help finance the trip could not be
granted by organizations only too anX-
ious TO secure the appearance OF the
Westerners, but lacking space TO ad-
nit the public and thus get returns
from the meets.
The new natatorium recently COM
pleted at Rutgers College will be for
mally opened on March 10 with an at
tractive water carnival, the programme
for which includes the l00-yard metro
politan junior swimming championship,
60-yard handicap, an invitation 800
metre swim. 200-yard relay race and
fancy diving.
In the 500-metre race Joseph Wheat
ley will attempt to lower his own ma
tional record Of 7 minutes / As seconds,
and in the relay race the New York
Athletic Club team will go after the
American mark Of | minute 43 20
seconds established a few weeks ago
in the home pool. The Rutgers bath
measures rs feet in length.
The committee in charge Of water
sports at the Panama Pacific EXPOSE
ton has definitely announced that the
swimming championships, next July,
will be held in the Sutro Baths, over a
75-yard straightaway course. IL was
the original plan 10 run off the events
in open water, but 90 many objections
were raised by prospective entrants
that the committee deemed il advis-
able TO use the Sutro natatorium in
stead.
Quite a few Of the Eastern high
schools are taking up college water
polo and there is talk OF forming a
league and holding yearly tourna-
ment. Philadelphia has several teams
in the field and they have been active
of late competing among themselves
and against university freshman sex

MEXICANS FIRE ON
AMERICAN TROOPS
TWO FIGHTS ARE STAGED, ONE
AT BROWNSVILLE AND AN
OTHER AT DONNA.

Brownsville. - American cavalry
men had two fights with Mexicans
across the Rio Grande, one here and
one near Donna, about 60 miles up the
river. In both clashes the American
soldiers were fired upon, and returned
the fire without themselves suffering
any casualties.
Ten American cavalrymen in the
Donna fight, which lasted two hours
and a half, reported they were fired
upon by about 200 Mexicans, and be.
lieved that they had hit II Mexicans.
Twenty American cavalrymen
fought on the outskirts of Brownsville
for half an hour with Mexicans on the
opposite bank of the Rio Grande, None
Of the Americans were hit. One Car
rama soldier was taken to a Mata-
moros hospital, probably fatally
wounded, but Carranza officers denied
smphatically that any Of their men
joined in the fight. Investigation was
in progress to determine who, besides
Mexican soldiers, may have mixed in
the battle.
Col A. p. Blocksom, the American
commander at Fort Brown, here, re-
ported to Maj.-Gen. Funston at San
Antonio, that the Mexicans started the
firing.
Immediately after the battle small
mob formed in Matamoros. about the
headquarters Of Gen. e. p. Nafarrate
CarranZa commander shouting: Give
us guns"
They had heard the rifle shots and
were angered by reports that their
people had been fired upon. Gen. Nat
arrate refused their demands. He sent
his chief Of staff, Col. p. A. Chapa, to
investigate, and Col. Chapa took Unit
ed States Consul Jesse ". Johnson
with him to the Mexican side Of the
battle-ground.
Mr. Johnson found some evidence
to support the Mexican soldiers claim
that they were not implicated in the
fight, but after coming to Brownsville
TO learn the American version, Mr..
Johnson said he was convinced that
Col Chappa had not been put in pos
session Of all the facts.

FIGHT NEAR WILMA is FRAUGHT
WITH MUCH IMPORTANCE FOR
THE OPPOSING ARMY.
FIRE IN WEST CONTINUES
South of the Pripet the Russians Still
Control the Situation and Are Har-
assing Austro-German Armies
in VoIhnyia and Galicia.

London. - Few, if any, Of the big
battles fought on the eastern front dur
ing the past five months have been
fraught with such importance for the
opposing armies as that now in prog
ress east and south of Wilma, where
Won Hindenburg is attempting to cut
off and destroy the Russian army that
defended the city.
German official report throws little
light on the operations, simply stat
ing that "the attack against the enemy
retreating from Wilma is proceeding"
Petrograd continues to express conf
dence in the ability Of the Russians to
eXtricate themselves. Military writ
ers, however, say they are in a dan.
gerous position. 1t is quite likely
that they got their artillery away be-
fore the Germans moved across the
railways, as the evacuation of Wilma
was decided on weeks ago.
Prince Leopold Of Bavaria is ap-
preaching the railway to the southeast
of Ida. He has reached the district
Of Dworzo, Immediately west of the
road skirting the Pripet marshes and
running to Rovno. South Of the Pri-
pet still control the situation and are
harassing the Austro-German armies
IN Uolbpuio op5 Eolioio
Although, presumably, Germany has
her hands full in driving the Russians
back, the has found mon and guns to
go to her allies assistance against
Servia, and the German official com.
munication announces that German
guns have taken up the fight against
the Servian artillery across the Dan.
ube, and claims to have silenced it.
The bombardment with heavy guns
has become mutual in the west, both
sides maintaining an almost contin
uous fire, while the British fleet is
making matters hot for the Germans
on the Belgian coast
Intense interest is taken in the Bull
garian situation and the efforts of the
opposition parties to induce the king
and government to depart from the
paths of neutrality and Join the en-
tente powers. 1t is believed that, de
spite denials, the railway agreement
with Turkey binds Bulgaria to main
tain a benevolent neutrality toward
turkey and the Germanic powers

said He declared production OF war
munitions in Russia had increased

'lt would be infantile to deny that
the role of the United States in inter

has been extremely important" he
said "The power Of America as
center of production has been affirmed
in incontestable manner. The needs
of the belligerents have changed in
ternational credit balances so mar
kedly in favor Of the United States
that the question of exchange has be-
come acute.
Supplies. which America is sending

resale to Americans Of their securities

that the Anglo-French delegates nego-
tiating in New York will find basis
adapted to American tastes and tenn
perament."
M. Bark alluded to "the lively SYM
pathies of Americans toward Russia
when she was emanicapting the serfs
at the same time that America abol-
ished slavery and maintained the
Union"
Russia is going through a difficult
period as regards exchange We can
not export crr products and there Is
a lack of remittances from abroad
Russia has large payments to make
abroad and she cannot make them IN
