WESTERN GOLFERS { DON'T FAVOR NEW
 AMATEUR RULING


 Chicago, Jan. 19.-Omcial cognizance of the recent ruling of the United States Golf association, tightening the amateur restrictions, probably will not be taken by the Western Golf asso- citation at it's annual meeting here to- morrow night, according to Charles F. Thompson, president-elect. The anna teur question, however it is expected, will be given further consideration.
 Personally" said MT. Thompson, s"I am not in accord with the amateur ruling of the United States Golf as- sociation. think. it hits a number of players who are amateurs in spirit and action, even if earning their liv- ing. in sporting goods establishments. I have travelled extensively both eas and south and at least 90 per cent of the golfers I have met are of the same opinion.
 However, those who overstep the amateur line could be made to stop by taking action on their individual cases. This would not work hard ship on the genuine amateur who se- lects the sporting goods business as a means of Livelihood"

MEANWHILE AND SPEAKER FAIL TO
 ATTEND MEETING

Boston, Mass. Jan. l9-DaVe Eultz. president of the Baseball Play ers Fraternity, came to Boston last nisht and held a secret conference !, with . dozen major and minor league i players holding membership In the fraternity. Walter Maranville, dlrec- tor of the fraternity, and the Braves representative, and Iris speaker, Cleveland star, were in Boston, put did not attend the meeting.a
 Those present included the fol- lowing six members of the Boston . big league teams: Pitcher George 7 Tyler and Third Baseman Carlisle Smith. Of the Braves; Third Baseman Larry Gardner, Infielder Hal Janvrin, Pitcher Babe Ruth and Outheider Olaf Henriksen of the World Cham- pion Red Sox.
 Robert Hunter, substitute inf1elder of the Cubs was present. Five
 minor leaguers in Class AA<and Glass i A leagues were present including ] Connolly of Sioux City, Leary of In , dianapolis, Callahan and Barry or l the Pacific Coast league, and Kane or ], the International league.
 Fultz did not seem disturbed when ] he was told that Ray Schalk, White Sox coacher, had signed. T half ex- pected that action from Schalk, said ,, Ft1ftz. "He had not signed the agreement not to sign his contract until the fraternity said go ahead There will be meetings in New Or !. leans and Chicago next Tuesday. l may attend one of them."
 Fultx read the newspaper men an exttact from letter he had received two years ago from Chairman Garry Hermann of the National Commis- sion, dealing favorably with the minor leaguei demands, which Fultz save are the subjects of the present friction between the fraternity and the magnates.

EXPLAINS
 UNIONIzING TEAMS
 WON'T LOWER PAY

New York" Jan. 19.-Accordtng to David l.. Fultz, Ban Johnson, presl- dent of the American league. is sadly
 mistaken in his idea of enforcing
 union scale of wages in case the Base ball Players Fraternity receives charter from the American Fedora tion of Labor.
 President Fultz said yesterday that Mr. Johnson showed ignorance of
 union methods and that mauy state
 ments are being made simply tg prejudice the players in the eyes o1
 the public and to ulislead the high Salaried men. MT. Fultz's statement follows: Some very ridiculous statements
 have been circulated in the public
 press during the last few days re- garding the effect an aff1hation by the
 ball players with the American Fed
 baseball business.
 Johnson is reported to have said that it would mean a wage scale. In
 making such a statement MT. John son shows ignorance of union meth ods.
 He also states that if the ball play
 
 mates and enforce a scale of wages
 He seems to forget that where wage scales exist they have been brought
 about by the employe and not by the employer. He also forgets that base ball owners unionized long ago and now have one of the strongest organ !. izations in the country. Would it no, 1 be logical for the players to fight fire with fire? A These statements are made simply to prejudice the players in the eyes o1 the pubic and also to mislead the high salaried men.
 "Any such move by the players would not have the slightest effect
 upon salaries. The men would con- tinue to bargain individually so far as their salaries are concerned. As an evidence that this is a fact we in- v1te the public's attention to the ex- perience of the White Rats and the Actors Equity association, which comprise practically all the vaudeville performers and all the legitimate &C., tors in the country.
 Both of these organizations are affiliated with the American Fedora tion of Labor. We have not heard of De Wolf Hopper working for a chorus girls salary, nor a wage scale or many vacant seats in the theatre. Tt is also a matter of public rec ord that the authors organization, which has a membership of many high class writers in the country, was seriously considering affiliating with the federation and failed to take the step only because a few of the radical members opposed it very violently

FRED FULTON SIGNS TO
 BOX WEINERT AND COFFEY
Promoter Agrees to Pay Minnesota Giant $1 1000
 Weekly Pending First Bout.

New York, Jan. 19-Fred Fulton, the tall, sandy-haired gladiator of Minneapolis, will participate in two bouts in this town between now and March 15 if everything runs accord ing to the calculations of Grant Hugh Browne. The two opponents select ed for Fulton are Charley Weinert and Jim Coffey.
 Weinert is the Newark lad who was humbled a week ago by Billy Miske, while Jim Coffey is the brother of a lad who helped Frank Moran to get gobs of dough. Joimes, as you re- member, fought Francis twice and on each occasion went out aided by the well-known somnolent walTop.
 All this signing up took place yes- terday. For each fight Fulton will receive a substantial guarantee with the privilege of liberal percentage Where the bouts will be staged is problematical, for no mention of a site is in the articles of agree ment.
 According to Browne's statement, made at the office of the State Ath- letic Commission yesterday, he has practically closed lease on Madi- son Square Garden and will apply for a license to conduct boxing as soon as the final papers are signed. If the deal is consummated then the two affairs will be held in the old arena.

BRoOKLAWN CLUB
 PLEASED AT BEING
 AWARDED METRO

Members of the Brooklawn club were jubilant today over the fact that the Metropolitan Golf association has decided to hold it's championship tour- nament at the local course. The meet will be held here June 13 to 16 inclu- sive and will be the biggest golf event in this section. It is the first time the meet has ever been awarded to a club in this state and Brooklawn members are naturally elated.
 The Brooklawn club has been con- stantly improving it's links in the last few seasons, and now boasts of a course that is fair test of golf from any angle. Special attention has been paid to the greens, and those who have played over the course recently say that they are second to none in quality. The links has been length ened to 6,400 yards, with enough traps and bunkers to cause the most wary golfer considerable amount of worry and potential grief.
 A new club house is another one of the advantages of the club, and judg- ing from the host of boilers that ap- peared at Nassau last season, the new structure will be taxed to the limit. The Connecticut state championship tournament of 1915 was played over this course.

.KILBANE KNOCKS
 DRUMMIE OUT AND
 ROSS BEATS KURTZ

Waterbury, Jan. 19-Before an Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham pion of the world, knocked out Johnny Drummie of Jersey City in the tenth round last night Kilbane put Drummie> down with right to the jaw and Drummie did not come up for air until three minutes after.
 Kilbane had everything his own way from the start, the Skeeter being unable to cope with the champions s speed and furious attack. Drummie tried hard to make favorable im- pression, but it could be seen early in the bout that he was fighting out of his class.
 Kilbane started early and foored Drumnie for an eight-second count in the first round. Thereafter Kill bane seemed content to carry his op- ponent along. The scrap proved un- interesting as Kilbane simply would not put his best efforts into his work. In the tenth Drummie was knocked down again. for nine-second count. When he got up on his feet Ki1bane rushed in and landed him flush on the jaw and the bout was over.
 Referee Joe Shea was criticised by the fans for not stopping the bout after the first knockdown in the fatal round.
 Hugh Ross, the Bridgeport middle weight, outpointed Dave Kurtz, also of Jersey City, in a fast 12-round bout Ross used a left jab to good effect and advantage. This was the best bout of the night.
 Teddy Fabryck of Fairfield failed to put in an a ppearance> to box Sammy Waltz of Hartford, and Gene Belmont, Ki1banes sparring partner, was substituted. Belmont won all the way.

Pat O'Keefe, Former English Champion, Is
 Fighting With Allies

Pat O'Keefe, who held the middle weight championship of England for some years, was at last reported do- ing his scrapping in the uniform of a British Tommy, as a corporal in the First East Surrey Regiment It was just three years ago to-day that Pat attempted to lower the colors of his now comrade in arms, Georges Car pentier, at Nice, France, but Georges knocked him out in the second round.
 Pat is ring veteran, and visited America ten years ago, when he was defeated by Billy Papke in Philadel- phia,. by Harry Lewis in Boston, and by Willie Lewis in New York Later he made a visit to Australia, but found that country equally lacking in hospitality to the stranger, Dave Smith twice defeating him. Pat stay ed 15 rounds, with Bombardier Wells in 1913, but was then knocked out.

SALARY SMASHING
 REAL REASON FOR PLAYERS UPRISING

New York, Jan. 19-While Presi- dent Fultz of the Fraternity contends the question of salaries has nothing to do with the refusal of the players
 to sign, nevertheless he said yester-
 day. "The magnates need no longer pretend to hide the truth-that there has been campaign waged through out the ranks of baseball to slash salaries, and some of the cuts are very stiff, Now that the boys all have their contracts this fact has become positively assured, and they do not
 take it kindly. A moderate reduction was looked for after the close of the
 Federal League war, but nothing like
 the cuts which appear in the new
 contracts" Such star players as Alexander,
 Maranville, Strunk, Schang and Bush already have announced themselves to
 be holdouts, and there are many les
 ser lights who would quibble about
 their salaries even if the present
 strike order for unsigned players were not in effect. f--4- ----- To baseball students the object of
 the major league players in going so
 strongly for the minors Is becoming evident. It may be only question of
 time before the major leaguers may want the services of the minors in a big salary strike. ''Wei must get back to a salary basis through which the
 game again will be stabilized, and put on a footing by which thei owner can
 get reasonable profit on his invest
 ment," has been the recent stand of the magnate.
 To the players mode of reasoning that means salary reduction this year and another next, until salaries return to what they were before the
 Fed war, or perhaps even to the stan
 dard of 1905. To come right down to the point-the players distrust the club owners. and the magnates, es- pecially since the Federal League war,
 have similar feeling toward their players. X

WALTER MOHR GETS
 LACING FROM TTLLMAN

New York, Jan. 1s.-Johnny Till man, heavy hitting and clever light weight from St. Paul, gave Walter Mohr hard lacing at the Clermont s. |C. last night.
 Tillman's science and speed enabled him to batter Mohr in face and body in nearly every round, while most of the Brooklynites lunges were ducked or blocked. Tillman outclassed Mohr in all departments of the game and the Brooklynite was utterly unable to do his customary holding and hitting because of the agility of the Western boy.

WANT MINOR PLAYERS.

An idea of the thorough way in which the major league clubs have started to fight the proposed play CTS strike may be gained from the letter received from the New York Americans by Owner Collins of the New Haven club. Secretary Spar row of the Yankees wants Collins to furnish the names of all players on the New Haven list, tell what posi- tion they play, whether they bat right or left handed, and also give their age and weight.
 This indicates that the magnates do not intend to be caught mapping by a strike just before the training sea- son starts. The plan undoubtedly will be to sign the most promising of the minor leagueIs, rush them to the camps and start the season with clubs made up of big 1eaguers who have refused to strike and youngsters from the minors glad to advance to the big show. Of course the article of ball would not be so fast as in other years but the magnates think they can keep going until the star players fall into, line. The minor leaguers who are advanced would probably be protected by iron clad contracts which would assure them of their salaries no matter if they were sent back when the strike was Settled.l s+loli .s 5ltto.,, 5s
