GOLF GOSPEL TRUTHS.
How an Edict Against Com
merciaIizing American Golf
Was Enforced.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

Naturally, there was much talk over
| the stories Caspar Whitney printed
In Harper's Weekly after the ANA
teur championship of 1896 on the dis
regard of the tenets of purity that
should govern the new and rapidly
growing recreation displayed by repre-
sentatives of sporting goods stores in
exploiting their wares on the links.
even while figuring as competitors in
the tournaments. The men brought
most prominently into the limelight
by the articles. Charles S. Cox and
Harry Roy Sweny, were both popular
at their respective clubs, which
brought an angle into the discussions
that has been reproduced in the case
of Francis Ouimet ct AL, in the pres
ent year at Boston.
The action of the United States Golf
Association was most mildly express
ed but most positive and farreaching
in the stamping out of the practices its
committee had decided to be injurious
to the highest standard of amateur
ism. 1t was an enforcement by rule of
! the Sir Galahad spirit that should i'm
pei all golfers to keep the game pure
| and fair recreation for men who earn
their living in a business or profession
| that Is of more real, earnest influence
| in the uplife of humanity than any
| play-or sport-may ever become.
In brief, instance revealed in the
cases to which most attention had
been directed, il the golf goods sales
| man was persona grata at his club
| it gave to him the free right to play
| as an amateur in the clubs own COM
petition. Also. provided the, consent
of the club with which the match was
| to be played had been granted, such
player might be one of the team
| in an interclub match. But the entry
! of persons having this direct interest
! in the commercial side of golf was
made anathema at open tournaments
or the championships. but there was
no ban proclaimed against their par
, ticipation in invitation tournaments II
personally invited or if permission to
be represented by such player had
been asked of the club to hold the
tournament.
This in nutshell. is the gist of the
action Of the United States Golf Ass2-
cia ton in the matter of the amateur
status of Francis Ouimet ct al. 1t
is.exactIy what is meant by the letter
Of Secretary H. r. Whitney to the
Massachusetts State Golf Association,
requesting the erasing of their names
from the handicap list of players
eligible to play in tournaments as
amateurs.
The situation Is golfing application
of an old saw, which states one may
not hunt with the pack and run with
the hare.

That Fohl has a. good-hitting club
and that his pitchers are working much
better than was expected Is not to be
denied, but il Is not the team which
makes the early spurt that lands on
top. Chicago last spring at one time
had a twenty-game lead, and then had
a hard time finishing third.
The failure of the White Snx. Tigers
and Browns this spring is an illustra-
tion of how uncertain base ball Is.
While the critics figured that the White
Sox and Tigers would be contenders IN
the race this year neither OF them mas
were expected to prove hard TO beat.
but none of these predictions has come
through and Cleveland is the only
team in the west which has shown real
class.

secutive games to play with the west

and three with the Chicago White SoX-

The Boston Red Sox are mighty slow in
getting in their real form, which Carri-
gan insists has not yet been shown by his
team but il begins TO look as II the form
which existed in the past no longer pre-
walls, so far as the Red Sox are con-
cerned. They are beginning to realize
that iris Speaker was one of their most
valuable players, and incidentally Carri-
gan is awakening to the fact that his
pitchers win have TO do lot better If his
team is 10 have IA real chance in the
present race.
Brooklyn has shown so much ability
against the Phillies this spring that the
champions have net yet scored victory
over the Dodgers. The Moran team, in
fact, is not gong as ii used to and may
have a hard time holding its own.
The hitting of Cravath. which did
much to help to win games last season,
Is conspicuous by its absence this
spring. The big slugger is hitting

and while he may get to going in due

two men on base, Zimmerman drove the
ball into the infield. Umpire KLEIN call

it had hit him. Finally Third Baseman
Schultz picked up the sphere and threw
