Annual Meeting Of Middle Atlantic
Association To Be Held
March 2.

Lively discussions ove- the relative
merits of medal play and match play
will probably come up for discussion at
the annual meeting of the Middle At
lantic Golf Association scheduled TO be
held March at the New Willard.
Applications are expected from Phila-
delphin golf clubs for entrance into the
association, which now covers clubs in
Maryland, Delaware. the District. and
Virginia.
There have been many winter gather
ings at which groups of players have
discussed the systems OF match and med
al play In determining championships
The match play system used last year
proved unsatisfactory in the District

Stars Will Still Grab
Big Money for. Playing.
Only the Mediocre Performers Need Worry About
Getting Their Value Requited-Some Comment
on Live Topics Now Facing the Fans
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

THE able ball player will continue
In demand and will still get the big
money" is what Connie Mack says.
while II Is true that wartime
salaries have gone. or are rapidly
going. the best men In the game will
never have to declare hunger
strike to get their just reward from
the manager"
And when Connie says that, he Is
perfectly correct.
The wartime salaries causing all
the troubles OF the past two years
have been those stupendous amounts
paid to mediocre players. those men
who ought to have been fortunate to
be dragging down $500 n year for
going through the motions of play
ing ball.
Baseball. as II will be conducted
from now on, will be far better for
the really star players. The public
will be treated better because, stars
and ordlnaries. will have to hustle
for the salaries they do get. The
speed OF the game will take on new
life. The players, forced to fight
for their berths, will display more
interest In their work. Better games
Will, therefore, be seen and the fans
will be delighted.
Ty Cobb will never have TO worry
about how much salary Frank Navin
will give him. but John Jones. n
hamfat, won't be able to hold his
manager for 5000. and then sit on
the bench because he won't agree to
being transferred to some minor
league club where he might be able
to plav ball.
Connie Mack has never been
known TO like high salaries. His
teams have always been known as
low paid clubs. though this has never
bean admitted by Connie. But when
he seys that the real stars will con-
tinue to get the money. he's about
right.

"Shake EN- IJpl"

A Philadelphia writer. in pardoning
Fighting Jim" Gilmore. says that
the best thing the Federal League
invasion accomplished was the down
fall OF the great. murderous machine
or Connie Mack. And isn't he right?
Until the Feds came to the front
with their tempting offers. the Mack
ian machine OF maulers looked GER
tain to win American League PEN
nants until the cows started home
ward. Not a club in the league
hoped 10 upset them. They pursued
their victorious march like true con-
Querors.
Unwilling to bend before the
storm. Connie simply tore his great
phalanx apart. With several pen
strokes. Connie did what all the
other clubs In the league with hun
dreds of wagon tongues could not do
defeat the Philadelphia Athletics.
He scattered II to the four winds of

Speaking Becomes a Fad.

Making speeches Is becoming a fad
for professional ball players, and
Eddie Collins. the greatest second
baseman in the game. has succumbed
to the lure of the rostrum.
Branch Hickey. former manager OF
the st. Louis Browns. was known
last year as the best speaker OF all
those connected with the national
game. Hardly Sunday passed, no
matter where he happened 10 be. but
that Hickey made an address at
some church.

guests and members OF the Cardinal

riously. had the Mackmen continued
much longer their wonderful career.
New hope sprang into the hearts
Of millions Of fans when Il was
known that the Mackmen were to be
shaken Up. IL even came here to
washington, though the sGriffmen
failed sadly to take much OF an ad-
vantage Of affairs.
Jim Gilmore certainly did n favor
to the American League when his
organization brought about the dis

Mackmen. Maybe we'll need him

Gallia Gets a Boost,

In naming the six best pitchers he
has ever faced. Bobby Veach. who
plays left field for the Detroit Tigers,
picks Walter Johnson. Dutch"
Leonard. Carl weilman, Weldon
Wyckoff. Jim Scot;-,and Bert Gallia.
Bert Gallie has failed to receive
due reward for an excellent 1915 sea-
son. Even Washington fans are in
clined TO belittle his ability. largely
because his most spectacular games
were on foreign fields last season.
His exhibition against Boston,
when he held the Red Sox to two
scattered hits and lost. | to 0, could
not have been bettered.
While Johnson will remain the
main strength of the Washington
twirling corps of 1915. Bert Gallia
should follow close after for mound
honors. He has the STUFF" and the
nerve.
