SETS GOLF PACE
Western Association Shows Big
Desire for Progress.
Latest Move, AbOlishing Stymie,
Proving Popular.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, May 29.-In these revo-
lutionary times it is not a surprise to
see the ancient and staid old game
of golf come in for a shakeup. Neither
is it surprising that the Western Golf
association has taken the initiative.
The very latest move of the western
golf body is the abolition of the time
honored and moss-covered stymie. 1t
upsets a time-honored principle of the
ancient Scottish game by providing
that henceforth the ball nearest the
hole shall be played first when both
balls are on the putting green. Here
tofore the ball farthest from the hole
had to be played first.
Under the old rule, the stymie was
brought about when the ball nearest
the cup was in the direct line of play
of the ball farthest away. In medal
play the old rule provided that the
ball nearest the cup be played or
lifted until the second ball had been
played, if the first player desired, as
he would be penalized one stroke if
his ball collided with the other.
New Rule Popular.
Under the new rule the ball nearest
the hole will be played first. and in
case the second ball is in such a
lie as to interfere with the playing
of the first ball, it should be picked
up. This rule practically reverses the
sense of the old rule and the younger
generation of golfers throughout the
country are expressing satisfa ction
over it,
In the Western amateur and open
this summer the new
rules will apply, and eastern profess

PLAY FOR RED CROSS
American and Canadian Football
Teams Plan Big Series.

Boston, May 29.-The United States
Football association has voted to ar
range an international series of asso-
citation football games between teams
to be picked from players in this coun-
try and Canada, the entire proceeds
to be given to the Red Cross organiza-
lions of the two countries.
Peter ]. Pee1e, of Chicago, who was
elected president of the associa ton,
announced his intention to support
contests during war time, but said
that care would be taken that players
who ought to enlist were not kept
from the colors. The annual meeting
created a new organizatio within the
association, a so-called national COM
mission, similar to the governing body
of baseball. President Peele will be
its head

SIGNALS who enter the open tourna-
ment will have to adhere to the rule
or be disqualified.
The move is the third radical one
MADE maze by the Western Golf association
since the first Of the year The West
ern body gave the L. S. G. A a severe
shock when it voted to recognize
Francis Ouimet as an amateur, in open
defiance to the ruling of the parent
golf body. The Westerners then sup
plemented this action by inviting Oui-
met to take part IN its amateur cham
pionshlp tournament at the Midlothian
Country club, Chicago, July 8; and
now the stymie is tabooed by Charles
f. Thompson's organization.
Break Was Inevitable.
Differences OF opinion between the
members of the Western body and the
national orga nization have been crop
ping out with frequence for a year.
When the national body first decided
to bar Ouimet md adopted a new and
strict amateur ruling there was a howl
from the west, and the actions of the
Western body this year may lead to
a fine little golf war.
The Western orga nization is strong.
1t dominates three-fourths of the Uni
ted States and all of Canada, and has
total membership of 243 golf clubs.
If Western amateurs are to be barred
by the national golf body under the
new rules of the Western association
there will be a fine little mixup in golf
circles. In so far as the professional
golfers are concerned it will merely
be up to them to accept the rules of
the national organization in the east
and do likewise as regards Western
golf rules when playing in the west.
It'll be a case of when you're in
