London. Dec 24.-The conduct of
young women who smoke in the sub
way, the moving picture theatres and
other play-houses where it is allowed,
is gradually putting smoking out of
fashion among English women of re-
fined sensibilities. 1t is accomplish

treaty to women to give up smoking
in order that the men at the front
may have more "fags" The women

The indoor swimming season of
1917-lS, just opening, will gain rather
than lose, MS II result of the war. Al
though many expert swimmers are In
the service, there are enough star wa
ter men left to put up lively competi-

mers have not been affected by the
war, and many new mcrmaids have
made their dcbuts in the tanks. Col
leges and high schools all have
planned for II big swimming season
ana the open field swimmers are like

In the ranks of the American Aquatic
union are enough youngsters and vet

BOWLING IS IN LEAD
Excels All Other Sports In Total
Number Of Participants.
Reports Furnish Positive Proof That
Pastime Has Now Surpassed All
Other Indoor Games - Also
More Money Invested.

(By THOMAS @. JONES. Secretary At.
lantc Coast Bowling Association)
Reports from all sections of the
greatest bowling country In the world
the United States of Amerca-fur.
nish positive proof that bowling has
now surpassed all other indoor ath-
letic games.
There is more money invested I'm the
bowling game today than perhaps any
other. and the game has more actual
participants than any other sport or
game.
There has been an increasing inter
est I'm all bowling associations annu-
nj tournaments for the last seventeen
years. and the 1017-1S season Is no
exception, unless the exception Is II
larger increase than any previous sea-
son.
I claim that with proper organia.
ton we can and will within n short
time interest the great majority who
do not participate In recreation Of any
kind. and with the continued support
of the representative men now ut the
head of our different associations, we
will make good our claim that bowl.
ing Is no longer n luxury, but Is now
considered u necessity.
We must all give more time to or
gnniZation. No game or sport or busi-
ness can be made "a success without
proper rgunizntiOn-bowlipg Is no eX-
ception. Every man who bowls ought
tn la. fn1 al a. Ian
citation and assist In enforcing its
rules.
We have been very successful here
In organizing, not only In the Atlantic
Coast Bowling association. hut local
chapters In almost all of the eastern
cities. They have formulated rules
and are enforcing them, preventing the
games or tournaments from being top
heavy, eliminating from competition
the so-callcd "star team" usually COM
posed Of alley owners and managers.
Local leagues. as well as the annual
A. G. Il. A. international tournaments
are catering to the masses and not
the few, and from present indications
they will. and within u few years, Sc
cure the support of the bOwlcrs To-
Gated in this territory. This will en-
able the association to hold annual
tournaments that will test the capac
ity Of any building available, and We
still have the great Madison Square
Garden.
We are slowly but surely uniting al
Of the bowlers and with the continued
support of bowling journals ana daily
press, we will, within II few years
place bowling where It bel0ngs-a
the head Of all other athletic sports.

PLACE AGE LIMIT FOR GOLF
Present Championship Tourney condi.
tions Held Unfair to Young
Players In Service.

When the Western Golf association
last season voted to do as It pleased
anent the holding of II championship
tournament, Interpretation of an anna
tcur, abolition of the stymie, ana 50
on. II came In for more or less adverse
criticism in the Fast. II now looks rs
though the w. q. A. might back up
Il trife In Mt least one phase of Its
radicalism, there being II growing SEN
timent among the directors that the
amateur championship event should
have minimum age limit of forty
years.
This, of course, would he In the ma
ture of II wartime substitution, as 1t
has been pointed out that tOurna-
mcnts under present conditions are I'M
fair to the younger men In service. \
suggestion has also been made to di-
vide the field into classes according
TO ages, say forty to fifty, fifty to sixty,
sixty and upward. This In II way calls
to mind the annual seniors gathering
mt Apawamls.
One other contemplated change Is
to limit the Western junior champion
ship to junior members of the West
ern Golf association clubs, or to sons
of members of those clubs. This sug-
gested move Is the outcome of goings-
on of II high jinks" nature during the
last Junior meeting at ENmOor.

GAME OF GOLF DEMANDS
HIGH TEST OF COURAGE

There IL probably no higher
test of moral courage than that
demanded by the game of golf.
Strange rs IL may appear, al
though golf involves no physical
SUFFERING nor endurance beyond
that what any ordinary man or
woman under sixty possesses,
yet nerves probably are respOn-
sible for more lost rounds there
In than In any other sport. This
accounts, to II great extent, for
the fact that many players who
have all the shots I'm their bags
and skill beyond that of their
fellows, do not reach farther
than the first or second round
In II tournament. And so one
must come to the conclusion
that there Is II streak of Xanthic
In most golfers.
