special fairness has been quoted for the

there has been discrimination and that
the word Indirectly" as laid down In
the rule has meant little to the menu

Some Players Hasty.
We hear Of two or three players Civ

tined because OF the dement's they were
doing for the game or they have been
professionals all the time and a v Just

OF a rule drafted in twenty-four hours.
There are to-day in the cities q New
York and Boston at least 10000 golfers
who Indirectly make money out Of golf.
Is there IN n who will deny this
fact? There are In Boston many young
men OF college training who are sue.

to play a good game Of golf when young
and their success a been helped by
their golf friendships.
In New York the same situation OBJ
tains. When we come to the profess

the p~ocketbook. and In the business
world all over the country this game
above all others Is the open sesame.
Rule Not Properly stated.
We cannot with fairness interpret the
word indirectly" Any move or ac-
ton or state which will cause the term

under the term directly From the
amateur definition I would have the
word indirectly" erased md a group OF
words more explanatory In character
set therein. Their We would be able TO
have a clear and more certain interpre.
tation. But II It is essential to keep
that word. then the bounden limits should
be clearly defined so that no committee

Here are a few violations Of the anna
teur rule we'll known to many golfers
because Of the latest interpretations OF
amateurism: playing or teaching the
game Of golf for pay. This includes
playing for a money prise. accepting
travelling expenses or living expenses
for playing over a course or for partici-
patins In a golf contest or exhibition"
No one finds fault with any portion Of

4 Mystery 70 Solve.

One OF he mysteries OF the batting
averages Is why Arthur Fletcher. the
clever shortstop OF the Giants. gets so
few bases on balls. Fletcher is a first
class batsman. In fact. he In about the
hardest hitting shortstop in the business.
And Artie Is not a batter who swings a;
bad balls. Yet during the last two sea-
sons he has averaged less bases on balls
than any other regular player in the
Jane.
Fletcher received only 10 passes dur
ing the 1915 and 1916 seasons combined.
He had only six bases on balls In it9
games In 1915. and thirteen in 1873 games
last season. Fletcher therefore walked
only 10 times On es2 games. or an aver
age OF but one base on balls for every
twenty games. In view of the fact that
there are so many wild pitchers such a
low average Of bases on balls seems al
most incredible. Figuring az times at
bat for the average game. Fletcher gets
only one pass in every seventy times he
goes to bat.
His strikeout record Is very consistent.
Fletcher struck out SO times in both the
1915 and 1916 seasons.

That Is where Tener makes his big

interesting.
Timken axles and bearings are now
featured with all models. The tour
ing body is longer and roomier than
formerly. Body sides round over into
a new and pleasing design. Finish
and equipment is fully up to Velie
standard.
Velie-C Continental motor, multiple
disc clutch, push button starter and
all superior features have been fur
Their improved and retained, the line
itself increased to include seven body
styles on the $l,085. chassis among
which is a new and decidedly differ
ent four-passenger roadster and a
sedan with removable plate windows.
A larger seven-passenger Six at
$3.50, with Ash. p. motor, four
speed trasmission and unusual lux
ury completes the 1917 offerings.
In the light Of Velie's trebled sue
cess this past year the new announce

some time. The low prices give even

twice as many "a" and g" cylinder

live thousand machines.
This production was oversold in
less than 1 month after the announce

This 81 course, Stearns refused to do,

BY their expertness in building and

become an insurmountable handicap
for they are among the most efficient

from which the accident hazard has
been practically eliminated.
That Goodyear has provided we'll
