GOLFERS WANT
TITLE JOURNEYS
Mistake Of Not Awarding
Championships Should
Not Be Repeated
TENNIS TO SHOW WAY
BY PETER PUTTEK

Tho announcement that the United
States Lawn Tennis Association has
virtually decided TO hold the champion
ships next year and award the titles Is
followed by the report that IL movement
is on foot TO hold the intercollegiate
track games as usual in 1918. n mum
Der of the college presidents who voted
not to held the games this year VIII be
interviewed with the purpose of having
them change their views
II will be remembered tn It the officials
of the A. a. l., the United States con
Association and the United states Lawn
Tennis Association went to Washington
last March and Interviewed Secretary OIL
War Baker. Mr.. Baker at that time
said that the best thing to do would
be not to award any titles. But later
on the Secretary and President Wilson
came out with statements in which they
remarked that nothing ought TO be done
to discourage athletics. 81
Just what the attitude the United
States Golf Association Will take at the
annual meeting in this city next month
no one can forecast. There are hun
lreds of millions Of dollars invested in
golf clubs and courses in this country.
Whether the war continues for two or
three more years it will be necessary TO
maintain the four thousand clubs in this
country. Golfers have demonstrated that
they are not shrkers. More than thou
sand members of the various golf clubs
III the Philadelphia district are now in
the service of the Government and fully
half that number more will be in service
before the end of another year.
There are hundreds of thousands of
golfers who are either too young or who
have passed the ConscriptiVe age and the
clubs will look to them for the where
withal to run the big plants. When we
realize that it costs anywhere from
80, 900 to 100000 simply fot the uplSeep
OF our Philadelphia eighteen hole
courses It is not difficult to see that II
takes q lot OF money TO run our golf
clubs. Whether the war continues or
not. whether the L. S. G.. A. decides to
hold tournaments or not and whether
the local golf association runs tourna-
ments or not the golf clubs will go on,
but we need competitive golf to keeE
things going.
Now that Mr.. Baker and the President
and the lawn tennis officials believe the
best thing to do is to hold tournaments
as usual. it is to be hoped that the golf
officials will see fit to amend their orig
inal idea.

no one could tell the difference except
possibly another freight train.
Introducing the Villain
The villain came from Pittsburgh but
he was disguised with a clean face. Calm
and debonair, Harry Greb CAME upon
tho sceno with the aNowed purpose OF
wrecking the train. Throughout every
one OF the six acts the villain still pur-
sued him. Using every artifice known TO
villaindom, no heartlessly launched
wrccking blows that would have fright
ened an ordinary freight train to death.
IN the first act the plot began to I'M
fold before the clubmen. Every person
in tho huge arena knew Mr.. Grebs in
tentions, for lie made no effort TO con-
ceal them. They shudderod to think
what would happen If the poor iIoffen-
siye freight train ever mistook the over
lures for Il friendly act. There were
many tense moments, and even Judge
Tnber, who occupied one of the war
taxed seats, began to grow nervous.
But there was no need to get excited.

that Mr.. Greb was not In the ring for

Next week he will give an impersona-
ton of an accident going some place

Greb. however, showed lots of class in
the six sessions. He is Reddy Mason's
candidate for the mddleweight crown,
and looks very good.
The show last night was one of the
best staged fer some time, and every
one left the arena satisfied. The fea-
ture bout of the evening, which was
short, sweet and sensational, to say
nothing Of startling, was between
