GOLF PROS IN FAVOR
OF 72-HOLE TOURNEY
Is Decision for North and South
Event Next Year.

Most Of the professionals who gather
at Pinehurst for the North and South
open championship each year are pleased
at the recent decision to make 1t a
seventy-two hole affair instead Of thirty
six holes. In order to do this and finish
the championship in two days the ana
teur professional four ball event prior
to the tournament. will be eliminated
next year.
II Is said that this change Is due to
the dissatisfaction expressed by the pro-
fessionals who believe that all cham
pionships should be at least OF seventy
two holes. So far as the amateur pro-
fessional four ball event Is concerned out
OF the field only three or four pros
are content with their partners
While there were money prizes Tor
each Of the events. the new seventy-two
hole plan will bring the winners more
money. as the prizes will be more than
twice the amount In the single cham
pionship. The amateur North and South
championship will remain the same.

anything In years, in the opinion of
Governor Tener, president OF the cir

Pointing out the dash and spirit OF
the Chicago and st. Louis clubs in
the few weeks the season has been
Sitting on. Tener declared It was not
only a pleasant surprise. but one that
will create renewed interest in these
clubs. This means increased patron
age in every one OF the eight cities,
with q tremendous increase in Chi
cago and St Louis.
1t has been so long since the Cubs
and Cardinals gave promise of doing
more than going through the motions
Of baseball season that fans have
tried to forget them. The sudden
rise of the teams has turned that feel
ing around. Commenting on the
Cubs. Tener said:
Joe Tinker had fifty ball players
from which to build a ball team. He
didn't do It. II must be a great salts

GRFF READS PLAYERS
INSTRUCTION ON DRAFT
Only Two Men on Squad Outside Of
Age Limit.

ST. LOUIS, May 21.-Ban johnson
has notified every manager in his
league TO instruct fully all players un-
der their control who are eligible to
the military draft. At today's meet
ing Manager Griffith read Ban John
sons letter to the men and told the
players Just what they have to do on
June 5 regarding the universal regis
tration.
Baseball players are inclined to
read little more than the box scores
and seldom do their eyes stray from
the sport pages into the news pages.
As a result, without this warning
from Ban johnson, many might neg
lect to register on June 8 and find
themselves carted OF to the jail
house.
Two Grifmen will not have to regis
ter-George Mcbride and Molly Craft.
The former is beyond the age limit
and Grinrs librarian has not yet
turned twenty-one. II married men
and those with dependents upon them
are to be exempted only, Leonard,
Rice, Smith, MenosISy. Crane, Harper.
and Charity are eligible for military
service. Dumont is supporting his
mother and several younger brothers
and sisters, and is expected to be ex-
empt. All the others are married.
The Griffmen, coming from all parts
of the country, will be in Washington
on June 5, but they will register each
at his home town. The Old Fox will
see that all comply with the strict
requirements of the law.
