After the War in England

The war. according 10 Worthington,
has hit British golf a much harder blow
than il has American golf. over
here he said, you still have many
young players coming on, golfers too
young TO enter the service-such men
as Bobby Jones. Perry Adair and Nor
man Maxwell. Over there none Of the
youngsters are playing golf. They
don't seem 10 go in for IL. And we
have had most OF our best golfers OF
the older lot either killed or badly
wounded"
In regard to Vsrdon, Braid and Tay-
Tor, Mr.. Worthington was confident
they would still be able TO uphold the
professional end of things even II the
war should last another two years.
"They are all three far from being
through" he said. They are too old
for military service, but they can still
play fine golf and they will still be
able to play very good golf for many
years. Their form or technique is so
well established that even above fifty
they will be worthy opponents. !!
should say that both Vardon and Braid
still have at least six championship
years left: years, that is, where they
might still win a championship with
out being stopped or checked by
age. With the war over they will DO
the big bulwark OF British professional
golf. Whether Britain will have any
bulwark left for her amateur golf is
another matter, although Lawrue Jen.
kins. the present champion, is still
alive and Hilton isn't yet through by
anv means"

Some Baseball Thoughts
By Louis Lee Arms

the ball player has something to do
toward making the manager.
Whatever happens, they certainly
should exempt Ban Johnson from max
ing any more midwinter speeches.
Asked the reason the Boston Red
Sox did not win the American League
penuant, Sir Richard Hoblitzell replied:
Because the White Sox were the bet
ter ball club" That is what you would
call an answer.
Benny Kauff has arrived at his>home
in Ohio. IL took four large trunRs to
encase his clothing. He could carry
his world series batting average in o
pill box.
At that, Benny had one glorious day.
q day that falls to the lot Of but few.
Two home runs in single world
series game are something that will
outlive batting averages or silk shirts
that reecho around the world.
"Pep" Young Is the yongster upon
whom all eyes will focus next spring.
He will bust into the Giants outfeld,
sssuredly so If Robertson Is drafted,
as it is reported. Young thyows right
handed and bats left-handed. He has
the speed of the we'll known deer-snd
plays a draw poker hand like a man
trying to corner the money mart.
"He likes 10 get hold Of the ball."
said John McGraw, approvingly. That
Is the measure of the born player.
Marty McHsle is now playing in the
movies. Come to think Of 1t, Marty al
ways was a good motion pitcher.
Il is rumored that the Cardinals
might trade Hornsby and Snyder to
the Cubs for Doyle and Merkle. As q
st. Louis scribe pungently remarks:
need a manager"

wav into the round before the semi
final in defeating w. II. Wander Peel
the aggressive Squash Club player, in
a match of tahe annual fall scratch
tournament of the National Squash
Tennis Association, at the Squash Club
yesterday. The scores were lo-e'
l5-6.
Hyde played his usual spectacular
game in making gets" while his judg-
ment Of pace showed an improvement
over that which he displayed last win
ter However, in his efforts for place
ment shots, he invariably failed TO
outguess his rival, who played front
wall game TO meet thi. attack. Van
der Peel smashed the ball with ter
rife force and it was these shots that
gave him the majority Of his points.
Only one other game was played
this resulting in victory for j. V.
Orativia, IT,, Of the Harvard Club, over
y. F. Terrence, the Crescent Club vet
eran. by a score of 1910, l5-i0. Tor
renee played a creditable game against
his more youthful opponent, but wa:

X-Country Race

Poly Prep captured the annual Brook
Ign 'cross-country championship in the
annual competition held over the Pros

Fifteen Teams
Will Compete
In Bike Race
Rivalry Between Kramer and
Goullet Should Add
lest to Grind

Fifteen we'll balanced teams COM
prising the pick OF riders on two con-
tinents will start in the six-day bike
race, which gets under way in Madison
Square Garden next Sunday night.
First prize this year amounts 70 IS ,000
In all, $4,000 in cash prizes is being
offered the contestants by William II.
Wellman, the promoter.
The following teams will pedal away
from the skating line:
Frank Kramer and Oscar Egg, Alfred
Goullet and Fred Hill, Eddie Root and
Marcel Dupuy, Bob Spears and Fran
cisco Verri, Arthur Spencer and Willie
Spencer, Bobby Walthour and Paul Su-
ter. Alfred Grenda and Charles Piercey,
Eddie Madden and Frank Cory, Clar-
ence Carman and George Wiley, Jake
Magin and Willie Hanley, Percy Law
renee and Lloyd Thomas, Victor Linart
and Mike Debates, Nincenzo Madonna
and Tom Dello, Tom Smith and Fred
Weber, and George Chapman and Will
lie Eager
All Of these riders, with the eycep-
ton of Egg and Dupuy, last years
winners, and Suter-who are due from
Europe in a day or so-have been train
ing diligently for many weeks.
One fact that promises a keen race
is the recent split between Kramer
and Goullet, after the two had tenta-
lively agreed 10 team up. From boon
companions these two have turned
into rivals, and each declares the other
will not win the race, even il it is
necessary to ride each other out in
the first few days.
Work on the new speed track has
already been started, and the course
will be completed next Friday, which
will give the riders sufficient time to
become accustomed TO the various an
giles and embankments The track is
being built right up against the arena
boxes, which means a wider course
and one more conducive to speed. IL
also minimizes the dangers Of fast
riding, and for that reason new
worlds record will probably be es-
tablished.
There will be no sprint races on
Saturday night, as has been customary.
Wellman does not care TO jeopardiZe
the chances Of his star riders by pos
sible injuries, as he wants the public
10 see a genuine siX-day race of IA
hours duration, with the riders all in
action.
The chief feature Of the grind will
BE the hour sprint every afternoon
and the two-hour sprint each night,
from 2:30 to $3.50, and from $3.50 20
1890. There will be Jams" a-plenty
besides these special sprints, the
points for which will count in the final
score.

The next time the two met in any

They had played nine holes, with
Worthington 2 up, as Travers was out

eleven-hole dash before the war.
