GOLFERS IN WEST
THREATEN REVOLT
ON AMATEUR RULE

Chicago, Jan. 22-The Western
Golf association is not satisfied with
the definition of an amateur as adopt
ed by the United States Golf associa-
Ntion and the Westerners, through
their, board of directors, will take
action on the matter at once. This
may lead to trouble between the two
bodies and the formation of a new
Organization.
\ The Western body aims to form a
new national association and create a
supreme court of 'golf.'' 1t might be
a good idea for the U. S. G. A. to give
the Western association enough rope
to encourage it's secession and forma-
ton of the so-called supreme court. It
would not be very long before the
Westernefs would be begging for re-
instatement.
The West has produced many stars
In golf it has developed Chick Evans,
the amateur and open champion. In
tennis it has given US Mclaughlin
and Johnston. Yet, much as the West
might hate to admit it, the East in
sport, is supreme and always will be.
Isolate the West in golf and your

Freddy Welsh Says
Cup Of Tea Caused
Him to Box Poorly

Milwaukee, Jan. 22--The boxing
commission has notified Freddy
Welsh to appear before the commits
soon today for trial to explain his
stalling tactics in the Mitchell fight
last Tuesday. The commissioners
have been making a quiet investiga-
ton ever since the fight and has fin
ally decided that his behavior should
at least be investigated to clear the
doubts that the fight stirred up. The
commission decided that if Welsh
would show mat he was really sick
during the fight that he would escape
punishment. Welsh says cold tea Eeada
him SICK but the commissioners have
found the tea did not take any effect
in time to prevent him eating big
meal in the day. The penalty, If any,
which will be inflicted will be sus-
pension from Wisconsin for all time.

STENCIL
and MILLER OF
DODGERS HOLD OUT

New York, Jan. 22-The latest ball
players to return their contracts be-
cause of cut in salary are Casey
Stengel, Zach Wheat, and Otto Miller
OF the Brooklyn team, the team that
won the National League flag last sea-
son. Stengel received a contract from
Charley Ebbets which calls for re-
duction Of $4,000 III the salary. Wheat
also has had his salary reduced $4,000,
and neither player will consent to sign
under those terms. Wheat, in a let
ter to friend in Brooklyn few days
and spend the year on his farm in
Polo, Mo-, than play for Ebbets under
a reduced salary.
Otto Miller, who is spending the
winter in Brooklyn, last Saturday gave
out an interview in which he said
that he was grieved to the point Of
pain to find his contract for 1917 call
ing for a sum far below that of last
year. Otto is a member of the frater-
nifty, but seemed to hint he is more
Interested in getting back the salary
obtained.elast year than he is in a
players strike.
Last year Wheat had his best year
since joining the majors and Stengel
also had a fine year. Casey played
about 100 per cent. better baseball last
season that the year before. Both are
strong favorites with Brooklyn fans.
In despatch from Baltimore Uncle
Wilbert Robinson, manager of the
Robins, last night issued statement
in which he said that Ebbets signs all
players and uses his own Judgment in
the amount he desires to give his play
ers. but hoped that Ebbets will not do
anything to dissatisfy the players, as
Robbie believes he has fine chance
to repeat this year.

condition.
AS it now stands, a lightweight
should either be subject to the 133-
pound ringside clause or be allowed
to weigh 1875 pounds at o'clock, the
weight at which Welsh won the title.
The former class is the only proper
one andc should. dominates The, 49,
o'clock class should be heaved ofnto
the darkness when Welsh retires.
There are any number of real, legiti-
mate lightweights who could come
under the correct weight system. At
present they are badly handicapped
meeting men who outweigh them isx
or seven pounds.

WEST DEMANDING
REVISION OF The
SCALE

New York. Jan. 22-From the wilds
of the West comes loud piercing yell
demanding the revision Of the light
weight SCALE The boys in that sec
ton of the country have turned de-
cidedIy against the fippant manner
in which the scale of weight in that
division is being treated. Their opin-
ion is that the quicksilver in ther-
mometer doesn't bob up and down
half as much as the poor old light
weight scale.
What caused the shrek for a new
book was the recent bout between
Freddie Welsh, the titleholder, and
Richie Mitchell, the pride Of the
Middle West. Both boys were signed
up to meet at 1875 pounds, but when
Frederick trod on the platform the
scale register indicated his weight
was lao pounds.
After the finish of the scrap, which
was won bands down by Mitchell, the
demand for regulating the weight be-
came more insistent. This was posi-
bly, due to the fact that Richie is a
native of the West, for the boys there
are sticklers on that clannish stuff.
Also, it is agreed upon by all his
friends that Richie Mitchell will be
the next lightweight champion.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the poor old lightweight class
has received some terrible thumps
within the past three years. 1t seems
that any scrapper who can get under
14O pounds brazenly proclaims him
self a member of that division. There
fore no fault can be found with those
who intend to clarity the situation.
If all the ruling bodies in the country
Join in the crusade there is a chance
that the situation will be, adjusted
satisfactorily. Otherwise twill re-
main in the same old unsatisfactory

players except O'Mara even at the
waiver price. The st. Louis manag-
er was advised against O'Mara, as he
is st. Louis boy, and it was said
that he might get excited under crit
icism from the home fans. Ebbets'
stay in st. Louis was brief, as Hug
gins could not see his offers at all.
When Ebbets stated that he would
like Snyder and Miller, Higgins an
swered that he would like lack Wheat
as one of the Brooklyn players in the
trade. That ended the interview.

THAT PORTLAND SALE.

The news that Hugh Duffy has sold
his Portland baseball franchise to
Hiram Abrams of that city will not
arouse any wild enthusiasm among
Eastern baseball magnates in this
section. The prospect of making
these long jumps to the Maine city is
already sending cold chills up and
down the spines of those who have to
pay the bills.
OF course the league can refuse to
ratify. the sale of the franchise and
that is what they will do if they have
any wisdom remaining since last years
disastrous campaign. If the Portland
owners would agree to transfer the
club to some city nearer the rest OF
the circuit the problem would be
solved but they probably would not
be willing to take such action. 1t looks
as if the Eastern is in a fine muddle.
JASPERS HAVE STARS.
The Jaspers, who will play in

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 90 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
