Piavers that have occasional arsu- ment with their comrades, or even sure-enouSht fight now and then, may be excused. This sort of thing does not last long nor leave any bad after ef- fleets, as a rule. Any body of healthy young men folced to spend as much tune in one another's society as ball players have to spend probably will scrap little. But the chronic trouble maker, the fellow that deliberately sets about to stir up dissenson, can't be re- leased tJo soon.

NEW COLE BALL INVENTED.
Twenty Yards Additional Distance
Is Claimed for IT,

A new golf ball, which, it is claimed,
will give an additional twenty or
twenty-five yards through the green. is
golfers and sport writers. John An
derson of the New York Sun says he
believes that with such a ball all the
best tests of golf in this country will
be rendered ineffective as championship
courses.
For the past eight years manufac-
turers have been working to, turn out
golf balls which would carry and roll
farther than those made the previous
year, and in almost all cases have sue
ceeded. This has made necessary the
lengthening of many of the best
courses and the consequent expenditure
of much money in order to bring them
up to championship standard.
In way the situation has been anal
ogous to that pertaining between the
armor makers and those engaged in
the construction of projectiles. the con-
slant ambition Of the ball makers ne
cessitating lengthening Of golf
courses, and course architects believ-
ing that the last step in the long-hit-
ting ball had been reached. With the
announcement that the latest ball will
add at least twenty yards to the ordi-
nary players distance, it can be sur
missed how much it will add to the dis
tance of the professionals and the best
amateurs. The legendary par" prob
ably will go the way Of DOGGY" and
the best players should have no trouble
in getting around the longest course
a couple of strokes lower.
Chick Evans 2S6 score in winning
the national open championship last
year surprised the Minikhada members.
One perfect round is something to
marvel at. but Chick played four
rounds of the Minikhada course in two
strokes less than par. The course was
hard. and Chick was putting well, but
on similarly hard course why can 1t
not be done again with the new ball,

By n. C. BYRD.

There are three middle distance run
ners in scholastic ranks who should do
some Of the best running in the 440 and
$50 that has been shown by local
schoolboys in years. Nash and Latta
of Central and Sheehan of Tech appear
to be in class by themselves at the
mentioned distances, and it would not
be a surprise if one Of them smashes
record in the annual high school meet
Nash seems to be a diamond in the
rough" Tall and lanky, with little
real experience. he showed evidences
OF latent ability that was remarkable
in the race with Episcopal in Baltimore
Saturday night. AS a matter OF TACT, at
snap Judgment, Nash seems to possess
the natural requirements to become a
better performer than either IAatta or
Sheehan, Notwithstanding that both the
last mentioned are more capable now.
Every year Bill Foley comes out with
one or two men at Central who are
above the average of scholastic ath-
letes. The long line of youngsters de-
veloped by him in the last fifteen years
has in 1t the names of some Of the most
capable runners known in this section.
1t is unfortunate for Tech that it is

able man for Georgetown. Gates was
a member Of the relay team which won

running second on the Blue and Gray
relay, and, besides that. is scoring
points in the hurdles and running

TENNIS ENTRIES REDUCED
Players in National Championship
Must Pass Newly Imposed
Qualifications.

A general movement to curtail entries
at the national golf and tennis cham
pionships is evidenced by the actions of
the governing boards of the golf and
tennis national associations in taking
steps to raise a qualification barrier for
entry into the yearly events in both
sports.
The question has been solved in anna
teur golf for the last few years by limit
ing the entry list to those having U. S.
G. A. handicaps of six or lower. the
names of those eligible to enter having
been made known under the title of
"eligibility list of the United States
Golf Association"
According to recent action of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association steps to curtail the num-
Der of entries in the court champion
ships have been made which will go
into effect this year. The qualifications
are not so strict as to change the char
acter of the event, but do prevent the
playing of those who have no more than
an outside chance to win. When the
tournament was shifted from Newport
to New York it was felt that in such
large tennis center many players
might enter. actuated by the desire to
procure players ticket for the matches
and the distinction of playing in the
event. even though they had not a
chance of going through.
An effort to reduce the number Of en-
tries was made by having them made
through club secretaries. This restric-
ton was not entirely effective, however.
and it became necessary to evolve more
drastic entry conditions These were
presented at the annual meeting and
met with the approval Of practically all
the delegates.
Conditions for Entrants.
The following conditions will be nee
essary to enter as a player in the ma
tiona1 lawn tennis championship of
1917:
Entries shall be open to players in
good standing belonging to clubs or
associations having membership in the
United States National Lawn Tennis
Association as follows:
/. Players who have been ranked by
the y. S. N. L. T. A. during any Of the
five years preceding the tournament or
who have at any time been ranked in
the first twenty.
g Players who in the last three years
preceding the championship have been
semi -finalists or better in any two tour
naments sanctioned by the L. S. n. L..
T. A.
3. Players who in the current playing
season played in not less than three
sanctioned tournaments and have made
reasonably good record. Committee
of management Of the tournament to
have the power to rule on the value of
a players record.
l. Players who do not qualify in any
of the above :classes, but whose entry is
acceptable to the executive committee
by reason Of residence in foreign coun-
tries, promise of skill, or other circum-
stances deemed sufficient to cause e1-
ceptions in their cases.
s. Entries shall be made through the
secretary Of a club belonging to the U.

FEW OLD RECORDS STAND
Worlds Best Marks in Nearly All
Sports Made in Last
Eight Years.

1t frequently is said that the boxers,
wrestlers, tennis players, foot ball
players and other forms of sport of to-
day do not compare with the players
of the past Maybe true. But IL you
will notice, the only branches of ath-
letics in which the old boys are claimed
to excel are those in which we have no
records or means of comparison.
Take the, field games, unquestfonably
the greatest test of all-round athletic
superiority. We have the records to
prove who was the fastest runner. the
greatest jumper, etc; and these rec
ords show that the boys of today. as we
said before, are the greatest everl
There is just one lonely record in the
list of events that comprises an A. A. U.
meet that has stood for twenty years.
1t is the standing broad jump mark Of
twelve feet one and one-half inches,
made by ]. Darby, a professional, in
England, May IS, 1890. Every other
record has been tied or broken-often
many times. And, remember, each
time a record is broken it becomes
harder to break. The marks of twenty
years ago and today make a ridiculous
comparison.
