STYMIE IS ABOLISHED
New Regulation Tried and Found
Wanting at Midlothian,
Rule Instituted as Result Of Examples
In Western Tournament Needs
Further Triai-M'orks Well
In Medal Play.

The new rule of the Western Golf
association, abolishing stymies, was
tried and found wanting at the West.
ern amateur championship ut Mid
lothian. and the rule was changed by
the board of directors before the final
rounds, i'm which Francis Ouimet won
the title from Kenneth =. Edwards of
Chicago by the narrow margin of up
In 80 holes.
The rule, as announced several
weeks ago, required that the nearer
ball be played first when both balls
were on the green thus avoiding sty.
mics. The plan worked well i'm medal
play, as there was no lifting of the
nearer ball, and an average of Is min.
utes' time was taken off an 1S-hO!e
round without any detriment to the
players, since they were contesting the
field instead of one man. When the
match play started. however, the con
testants were loud In their clamOr for
a change In the rule and President
Charles Il. Thompson, agreeing with
the players, had new one drafted.
The new one still abolishes stymies,
whether due to the faulty play Of the
owner of the stymied ball, or to the
accidental position of his opponents
ball, but requires the ball further from
the hole to be played first, unless u
stymic exists. In that case, the nearer
ball Is to be played first or lifted, at
the option of its owner. The rule
reads:
"When both balls are on the put
ting green, If the player of the ball
furthest from the hole claims that
the nearer ball interferes with his
putt the nearer ball, upon request,
shall be lifted or played ut the op-
ton of its owner"
II was contended by the ObjectOrs
to the original rule that the playing
Of the farther ball first removed some
Of the elements Of competition allowed
the opponent to know Just what he
had to do after the other man had
hOled out and made the owner Of the
nearer ball play from two to three
shots In rather rapid succession.
In the finals ut Midlothian only one
partial stymie was laid during the 80
holes. Oulmct lifting his ball on the
ninth hole, while Edwards putted. II
frequently happens, however, that Ed.
wards, with his poor putting on the
first nine, would have had to play
three puts In row, while Ouimet
stood by and determined just what he
had to do and how to do II. That
was because Edwards was frequently
nearer the flag on his approaches, but
could not putt dead, or get down from
his first attempt.
AS the play went, 1t could have
done Edwards no harm to play the
nearer ball first, for he took 22 puts
on the first nine, when only Is were
indicated by his long game and ap'
proaches, which We're In general bet
ter than Oulmet's.

The best sundOg in the big leagues

The best sundOg In the big leagues
Here, In u sentence. you have the
opinion of majority of National
league managers regarding George
Burns, left fielder Of the Giants.
Burns Ia rated by many as the
greatest sun fielder since the days of
Wee Willie Keller. who, though he
faced the sun day after day was sell
dom known to muff II fly ball, and
whose batting eye was not dlmmed by
the rays Of Old Sol.
This Is Burns sixth year as n men,
ber of the Giants. He came to the
New York club from Utica In the
spring of 1912 and stuck through the
season, although he played In only %
games. Since that time Burns has
missed few regularly scheduled games
with the clan of McGraw and he goes
on from year to year, hitting and field
ing as consistently as though the very
turning Of the clock depended upon his
being In the lineup.
Started a. Catcher.
Burns IL n short and rather chunky
athlete, and when he broke into pro-
fessiOnal baseball with Utica In 1909
ut the age Of twenty, he started Ou,
to be a catcher. Because of the fact
that small catchers, of the Ray Schalk
type, were not attractive to the scouts

his chnnce-and failed. 1t was the
fifth inning of u game between the
Phillies and the Pirates, when Billy
tried his hand ut twirling for the
Pittsburgh team. Hurd started the
game, but was bntted out of the box
In the first inning. Then another
pitcher by the name of Baker took up
the work for three innings. He, too,
suffered severely, and In the fifth
Billy Sunday stepped into the box and
took II hand ut pitching. The first
man who faced him walked; the Sec
ond hit out for three-bagger, the
third for Il double and the next was
hit by pitched ball and took his
base. That was enough. Billy Sun
day was gently but firmly taken out
Of the box and he never tried to pitch
again for the National league. Sun
day was rnttling good fielder" the
records Of the day say, "but he demon
strated In that one inning that he was
not u pitcher"

MONEY VALUES IN BASEBALL

If you were u baseball manager.
which pair of players would you rath-
or hnve-Ty Cobb and Grover Alexan-

lins?
Mebbe It's hard question to an
swer, but any time you had to shell
out the dough for players with the
liberal hand that the Chicago and
Cleveland clubs did for Collins and
Speaker you would think long time
Speaker cost the Cleveland club In
the neighborhood of S55.OOO. the big
gest sum ever paid for Il ball player.
Collins was sold to COmiskcy for u
cash sum said to have been $4,000.
The Great Alex cost the Phillies
Just $3.50 ana Ty Cobb was picked up
by Detroit for the same amount of
money. Looks like Cobb and Alex are
the pair carrying the greater value
with them, yet they cost only one
