Tener Anxious TO Keep
The Big Minor Going

ganized powers IN the national game and
went the very limit in getting aid for
some tottering club
These things will be missed In the or
gsnization formed TO take the place Of
the defunct member OF the national
agreement, but the friendly, helping
hand extended by the National League
will be a welcome bright spot in the
future.
The National League can well AFFORD
10 help the eastern class AA league, for
1t offers a field for "farmed' players
that can hardly be dispensed with. Many
times National leaguers might ind it
hard to release players to lower CLASH
flcations II this big minor was not
operating.
Much Of the trouble the international
League forced on organized baseball
would have been avoided had the club
oowners in that circuit and in the
American association listening to the
counseling OF Barrow when he at
tempted TO organize a new minor league
last fall His proposition was to take
| the best cities Of the American assOcia-
tion for a western half OF a new cir
cult, and combine them with four In
ternational League cities for an eastern
| half.
A league such as this would be flour
ishing now. whereas the Internationa
has now passed In It's checks and th'
future looks anything but rosy for SOM
Of the American association cities.

This is the attitude OF Gov. John X.
Tener, president Of the National League,
expressed when the International was
on its last legs and wabbling badly. It
wasn't put in such a fashion, but the
big league head promised that the
National would do anything to keep

International itself.
The east without an International

Another Dull Year for The Golfers Ahead

NEW YORK. April 23.-Thls is to- be
another dull golf year. Baseball com
petition will go on. but golf has been
reduced TO old mems foursome and
women's putting contests. Undoubtedly
few Red Cross exhibitions will be
sprlnkled through the season but the
dictators OF the game in this country
have decided that until the war IS over
golf must remain pepless.
In 1916 at the last national smeieur
championship since America entered
the war, golf reached the zeneth Of its
power in the field Of American sport
on that bright Saturday In September
1916, when Charles Chick Evans OF
Chicago won the national amateur
championship at the Merton Cricket
club in Philadelphia, It could be truth
fully stated that golf had arrived
in America.
Ten thousand wild eyed enthusiasts
trailed Evans and Bob Gardner at Mer-
ion and the men who built up the game
in this country smiled with satisfac-
ti0n. Then during the next spring Am
erica entered the war and gOlf has beer
wiped of the map. Many golfers thinl

year was the wonderful playing by
Ouimet In exhibition matches. Ouimet,
with his partner Jesse Guilford. shot
some great golf and large galleries fol-
lowed this pair. In Chicago the West
ern association held its championships
but this year even the Western assO-
citation gave way TO the pressure from
the national organization and has called
Off its title meets.
Following Red Cross matches and ma
tional championship matches is as diff
ferent as watching race horses exercise
and watching them run for $4,000
stake.
Tie state and national championships
are the backbone Of golf interest They
are the world series OF the sport and
every golfer goes at his own game with
more interest because he has these big

Two New Stars Now In Making

Already the correspondents have tip
ped New York of that Young Is the
greatest young outlelder to go to the
Giants IN many and many a year. They
predict that the youth will live and
endure as a star even greater some day
than George Burns, who already Is
famed as the National Leagues hest
gardener. All the praise that has been
heaped on him hasn't had the slightest
bit Of effect so FAR on young Mr.. Young.
He has gone right ahead playing spring
baseball and has managed to grab OF
the job that Davey Robertson called his
own, and with such brilliance that he
is acclaimed a better fielder faster and
better baserunner, and a more frequent
hitter than Dave.
Ross Young really is a Texan, but he
owes his baseball development to the
east where he soiourned last summer
under the International Leagues stn
pace. His batting average was second
only to that Of Napoleon Laioie.
Hollocher is a gradute Of the Pacific
coast He Is hailed as the best short
stop that maker Of shortstOps, Walter
1 McCredie, ever has turned out. But the
advance Information regarding his
4 prowess had some effect on Hollocher,
for the first thing he did was 10 hold
up the Cubs for an increase In salary.
He has been doing we'll however, in
spring games, and Chicago scribes are
enthusiastic about bin. His hitting has
been the cause Of the only complaint
and that Is expected to improve.
