WOOTTEN LEADS
in GOLF TOURNEY
ON SHORE LINKS

Course Difficult = Max

E. G. CLEARY IS THIRD

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., May 4.--Judg-
ing by the early returns of contestants in
the spring tournament OF the Country Club
of Atlantic City the players are finding
the going anything but easy So far the
lead Is held by Thomas y. wootten, of
Atlantic City with round of 80. Going
out Wootten played excellent golf, and
to the turn he took only 81 strokes. lie
was going we'll to the 18th but here he
got into trouble and took eight. After
this he again played steady golf and fin
ished up with 43 for the second nine.
But for his eight at the thirteenth hole
Wootten would have easily broken so, and
It Is probable that this score would not
be beaten unless there Is dark horse in
the tournament.
Some of the Philadelphia contingent had
troubles of their own Norman II. Max
well, of Aronimink, got off to a bad start,
and, never recovering, withdrew. Her
bert b. Newton, of Franllford, who usually
figures prominently i'm this tournament,
took so strokes for the first nine holes and
45 for the last nine, and he will be lucky
IL he gets with the second 16.
Il, G. Cleary, of Woodbury., is the only
PhIladelphian so far to do better than 90,
with an IS.

HUSTON WANTS
LATER BASEBALL
OPENING DATES
Would Not, However, Ad-
vocate a Shorter Season
for This Reason
WEATHER A HANDICAP

NEW YORK. May 4.-Captain Til.
linghast Huston has taken stand against
the present early opening of the baseball
season, The Yankee owner suggests that
the baseballinE begin about April 26 in
stead of around the 18th, as at present.
but I wouldn't advocate a decrease
in the number of games played" said
Huston. by opening the season on the
26th it would mean cutting Off "a playing
days. Those games could be worked In
by having double headers each week, say
Past experience has shown that It is
foolhardy to start the season before the
middle of April. l cannot recall one year
when the weather during early and middle
April was baseball weather 1t either
has rained or showed or has been too
cold. That has meant many postpone
ments. Even on days when the teams
have been able to play the attendance has
been reduced to n bare handful. because
the fans do not wish TO risk pneumonia" >"
There are several other magnates In the
big leagues who share HustOn's views
Charlie Ebbets is one of the newest con.
verts to the later.opcning faith. And i'm
bygone days Ebbets was the stanchest
supporter of the early opening plan.
Three years ago some OF the moguls
became convinced OF the folly of mid.
April lnaugurals, but they were i'm the
minority. Their associates voted to take
n chance on the weather rather than
open the season later and thus cut the
schedule.
But Huston's idea of later opening
without reducing the number of games
seems to solve the big problem, and Ii is
possible that the plan may be adopted
next winter.
one of the best examples of tho un-
wisdom of the early openings has been
shown in New York over a stretch of
six playing days the total attendance at
the Yankee games was in the neighbor-
hood Of 10000, despite the fact that the
world champion Red Sox were part of
the attraction for that period,
The sole reason for the low attendance
was cold weather, on two of the days 1t
was so cold that the few hardy fans in
the stands had to stamp their feet and
jump around to keep warm
Twenty thousand persons in six days
an average under 1000 per day. Had
those same games been played on warm,
sunshny days, the chances are that the
attendance would have been at least 5000
day.

Pitt May Drop Baseball
in FaUor of Track Sport

PITTSBURGH, May A sig
nificant article in the Pitt Weekly,
the organ of the University of
Pittsburgh, today says that efforts
will be made to do away with base
ball at the university on account of
the lack of patronage and the dis
interestedness of the students in
the sport. 1t says that the money
spent in fostering the game will be
used in developing stars for the
track team. Complaint is made
that on the baseball team there are
seven men who would make good
material as track stars, but are not
available on account of the time
they must give to baseball.

GOOD ATTACK IN TENNIS
DEPENDS ON COURT POSITION
BY WILLIAM T. TILDEN, I'd

fense to the almost sure attack of the
shot at your feet Your opponent won't
beat youi you will beat yourself II you
try It.
Start this season by leaving the incorrect
positions on the court and staying away
from them. 1t will result in automatical-
ly teaching you correct position,
The worst form OF bad position found
in young players Is tendency to try
to cover up the weak point of their game.
the baekhand, by running around ths
shot and playing 1t forehand. The re-
suit of this is easily seen. The evils are
threefold;
l. 1t will never build up or strengthen
the backhand, as Il tends TO rob one OF
confidence and gives one no practice on
the shot
