annual meeting 1t urged all clubs to
send a delegate In person and to let
him go uninstructed. SO that he might
be open minded and unbiased in his
decision upon all facts that are to be
shown at the meeting. There would
seem to be no fairer. saner method. of
arriving at a satisfactory solution OF
any controversy.
TT is for the delegates to decide
whether the game of golf shall be main
tanned upon the principles Of clean,
Straightforward, decent sportsmanship,
or whether players shall be permitted
to trade upon it for personal proflt.
The issue is therefore extremely simple
and the delegates must align themselves
upon one side or the other. 1t Is either
sport for sports sake. or sport for gain.
and no attempt to cloud the issue by
crafty pleading or extravagant verbiage
will avail In the last analysis to shift
the decision from one or the other OF
these two propositions.
The one is an appeal to manhood and
the best elements in human nature. The
other is a mere yielding to sordid COM
mercialism. The best interests OF golf
are not alone at stake. but every game
in the whole realm of amateur sport n
to a certain extent involved. The re-
suit of this meeting will therefore be
watched with the keenest interest
throughout the country. The situation
is critical and the executive committee
bespeaks the utmost care and attention
on the part of all the clubs in the Sc
lection of delegates and in the fair
minded consideration Of the real issue
involved"

EASTERN ELEVENS HANDICAPPED
IN CONTESTS ON PACIFIC COAST
Long Trip and Greater Average Age Of
Opposing Players Place Them at Disad-
.vantage-Brewer Wins at Buffalo,

from twelve to sixteen years of age,
and in too many instances there is
lack of competent supervision. The
eastern boy begins his collegiate career
around his nineteenth year. and many
begin much younger than that. In the
west there are few schools to foster
the intensive development of athletes.
and even in the colleges the schedules
of teams are restricted by the dis
tances they are compelled to travel for
almost every game. The western ath-
lete while in school gets little in the
way of actual competition and does
not begin to reach the development by
the time he enters college that has
been attained by his eastern brother.
However the western athlete continues
consistent Improvement all through
his collegiate course and reaches fine
state of development during his third
and fourth years, whereas the eastern
boy is often just as good, or better,
when he starts his first season in col
lege as at any time during his stay of
four scholastic years.
1t Is often found that star schoolboys
prove rather poor performers in coll
legiate ranks and that rather mediocre
men in scholastic circles become bril-
liant in the higher class of competi-
ton. No man who is overdeveloped in
school can hope to accomplish as much
in college as the youngster who works
his way forward without undue activ-
1ty. Probably the western athletes
reach the zenith Of their development
from twenty-four to twenty-six years
of age, and eastern from nineteen to
twenty-two: and there is no doubt that
the man who is at his zenith at TWEEN
ty-four or twenty-six is superior phys
ically to the one who attains the ell
max of his powers at twenty or TWEEN
ty-one.

Two important factors work against
eastern elevens in foot ball games on
the Pacific coast. One is the distance
the teams travel to reach the field of
action and the other the advantage in
age that students in the average west
ern university have on those in the
eastern. The long journey Pennsyl-
vania took to play Oregon yesterday
and that Brown went through to meet
Washington State a year ago elimi-
mated almost all chance for real prac-
tice for more than a week before the
game, and the greater maturity of the
men on the western elevens gave them
greater ability to master the finer
principles of foot ball.
Take for instance the specific case of
Pennsylvania, which yesterday lost to
Oregon by 0 to IA. Penn left Philadel-
phia about ten days ago and arrived
at Pasadena three days before the
game. The Quakers. therefore. had
practically no practice for ten days
prior to the contest. While 1t was able
to get in a little work during the short
stay in the California city just before
the game, that work was necessarily
light and served only to timber up the
players Penn also is said to have prac-
ticed some on the trip across the con-
tinent, but what it did undoubtedly
was of a minor consideration. What
coach would expect his foot ball team
to accomplish much, or even play any
where near it's standard. If it got prac-
tically no real work for ten days prior
to the match?
Athletics are more or less overdone
in the eastern schools. Boys start
their scholastic careers rather young
and go through rigorous course of
training. in most cases entirely too
rigorous. They enter college. many Of
them worked out: in other words,
their lungs and hearts have been sub
jected to such severe strains before
maturity that they are weakened and
unable to attain the natural and con-
sistent development which should come
after maturity The eastern schoolboy
begins his athletic career anywhere

BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

Cincinnati today is entertaining one
of the largest gatherings of base ball
magnates, big and little. ever assem-
bled. The national commission holds
it's annual meeting for the election of
officers. but that is an unimportant de-
tail. in the estimation of the minor
league owners. who are on hand in
force to urge the changing of condi-
tions that are killing the game" in
the sticks.
There apparently is but small chance
of the commission acceding to the re-
quest of the class AA leagues to abol-
ish the draft. so far as it relates to
them. 1t is difficult to see why any
change should be made. But one man
can be drafted in any one season from
any class AA club. and as an equitable
price is paid for the man taken. it ap-
pears to be fair proposition for all
concerned. Many men now playing
with major league teams still would be
in the minors were it not for the draft.
For this reason to abolish the draft
would be an injustice to the players.
With but few exceptions the loss of
one player seldom works disastrously
for team.
Only failure to cancel a business agree
ment he has made in Lewiston, Me-, will
prevent Bill Carrigan from again guild
ing the destinies of the world champion
Boston Red Sox next season. This is the
assurance Carrigan has given Harry H.
Frazee, one of the owners of the club, who
recently had conference with him.
Frazee took the trip to Lewiston express
ly for the purpose of trying to induce
Carrigan to reconsider his decision to re-

assurance of as much or more for next
season should he find it possible to again
manage the Sox. but. according to Frazee.
