THINKS GOLF men
WILL CONDUCT NO
TITLE JOURNEYS

DR.. Walter S. Harlan. OF the
Columbia Golf and Country Club, vice
president of the U. S. G. A, holds out
no hope for championship golf tour
naments during the year'191s.
The U. 8. G. A. will probably de-
termine this issue at its annual meet
ing next month. In spite Of the fact
that the governing body in tennis,
the United States National I.Rwn
Tennis Association. has decided to
restore championship next season II
would seem that there was little
Likelihood Of the U. s. G. A. taking
.aAy sneh action. II the sentiments OF
some OF the officials are taken as a
criterion
In speaking on the subject, DR..
Harlan recently said:
"I can't see that anything has oc-
Cured to cause the United States
Golf Association to face about in its
war policy toward the game. am
firmly against championship golf
under present conditions, and don't
believe title tournaments can be an
artistic or sentimental success during
the time when our serious thought
lies elsewhere than in sport. Recrea-
ton is essential and golf is one Of
the best games to furnish 1t, but
championship events are out Of place
Just now"

It is quite likely, however, that

Jim BAGBY IS VALUABLE
HURLER FOR CLEVELAND

Jim Bagby, the tantalizinG veteran
pitcher with nothing but a glow
and a prayer" proved most valuable
to the Cleveland Indians last season
and well deserving OF a raise in sal

Bagby, who was supposed to have

took part in fOTty-nine ball games in
1917. Eddie Cicottc alone faced more

possible runs. only ninety vent over
the plate. Only sixty OF these were
