TENNIS-GOLF
AREHARDHIT
Call Of Championship Tour
neys Had Depressing
Effect on Sport.

The action OF the parent tennis and
golf bodies in calling of the cham
pionship tournaments had a depress-
ing effect in both branches of sport.
The United States National Lawn
Tennis Association held patriotic
tournaments" for the Red Cross. and
many tennis players, among them the
best in the country, played dozens of
exhibition matches for this fund.
In tennis ranks, r. Lindley Murray,
Of Niagara Falls. stands out as the
country's best player for 1917 through
winning the patriotic singles event
from n. w. Niles, of Boston, at For
est Hills. Miss Mary X. Browne,
through defeating Miss Molla Blur
stedt in a specially arranged set OF
matches for a silver trophy. stands
forth as the best woman player. The
Tennis Association, however. did not
give the players rankings and titles
as in the past, but voted 10 return TO
title events and the system of ranking
the net stars next year.
Because Of the cancelling of title
events in golf. Chick Evans, Of Chi
cago, retained the national amateur
and open championships, which he
won in 1916, and Miss Alexia Stirling.
Of Atlanta. retained the women's na
tional golf championship.
The action Of the Western Golf As
sociation in deciding to restore the
Western amateur title event resulted
in the winning of that title by Fran
els Guimet on July H. Ouimet de-
feated Kenneth Edwards, one up. in
a thirty-six-hole match.
Eric Winston won the national
squash tennis title from Anderson
Dana in February; s. Howard Voshell
won the national indoor tennis singles
title from c. B. Herd in February,
r. B. Alexander and DR.. William
Rosenbaum won the national indoor
tennis doubles title from A. H Mann,
r., and C. B. Herd the same month
Samuel Hardy, Of California won
the national clay courts title at Gin
cinnati IN July, defeating Chuck
Garland, Of Pittsburgh.
'rChuck" Garland won the national
junior singles title at Forest Hills
from Fritz Bastian, of Indianapolis.

WAS
Big SUCCESS
More Gridiron Games Were
Played Last Fall Than at
Any Time in History.

Dire predictions made for football
did not come true this year.
Tho abesnce OF Yale, Harvard and
Princeton from Eastern football took
away some Of the glamor of the game
east of the AlIeghenies, but generally
speaking the pigskin pastime was a
booming success. and the best-posted
football critics agreed that there was
more football played last fall than
ever before.
The formation of many football
elevens in military training camps and
the impetus this move gave to inde-
pendent football is pointed to as the
reason for the great number of elev-
ems which were in action.
1t the East the Pittsburgh Univer-
sity eleven was generally awarded the
strongest claim to the championship.
In the South the great Georgia Tech
eleven stood out supreme, while in the
Middle West Ohio State won the con-
ference title for the second consecu-
tive time Only twelve deaths were
recorded during the football season of
1917, a smaller number than the three
years previous.
While the season did not develop
anything sensational or new in foot
ball tactics. it did prove that the open
game is less dangerous and more pop
ular with lovers of the college sport.
Big games in various sections of the
country drew capacity crowds as in
the past, and though the Yale Har-
ward and Army-Navy games were not
played. the football season was a
finacial success.

MOIST FLING
UNFAIR ONE
Many Baseball Men Take
Sides with American
Association.

New York, Jan. 1.-The American
Association has set a precedent in
abolishing the spitball.
Other leagues have discussed such
a move and many baseball men be-
lieve that the moist delivery Is un-
fair to the batters. but 1t remained
for the big minor league to slam on
the lid, and the effect the ruling will
have in the way of livening up asso-
ciation baseball next season will be
watched with a great deal of interest.
The splitter is not the only delivery
under ban in the A. A.
With one fell swoop the magnates
legislated against the emery ball, the
mud ball, the licorice ball and all
other foreign deliveries. The pitchers
will have to depend on control and the
old-fashioned assortment of curves
from now on, and II is a certainty that
batting will be increased.
Since the spitball came into general
use hundreds of pitchers have mas
tered it. and when a spitball pitcher
is right he has a one-sided ad-
vantage.
Whether or not IL is fair for the
pitcher to enjoy such an edge on the
batsmen is an open question, but dur
ing the past two years baseball men
in general have come to lean more
and more toward rules which will in
crease batting, and If the plan is sue
cessful in the association 1t Will no
doubt be adopted by other leagues.
The average baseball fan likes to
see free hitting. He will yelp with
delight when a pitcher strikes out an
opposing batter in a pinch. but he will
howl twice as loud when a batter
slams out a sharp drive that brings
in a run. Baseball needs all the vigor
that can be added to II, especially in
these war-ridden times, and it would
be a good thing for the games in
general If all leagues would adopt
legislation to put more action into the
pas Sne.

AS POPULAR AS EVER.
President Tener Believes 1918 Will
Be Good Baseball Year

New York, Jan. 1T believe that
baseball in 1918 will prove Just as
popular with the fans as It ever has" :"
said John K. Tener, president of the
National League, while discussing the
outlook for the sport next season.
There is no good reason why II
should not be so. The sport is built
on firm foundation. and the way in
which several clubs have been
strengthened augurs for keen compe-
ttion. There Is no excuse for the pes
slmistic statements have seen print
ed While many players have seen
their duty and enlisted in some branch
Of this country's service, there are
plenty of players left to fill out the
clubs. and am sure the quality of
baseball viii be just as good as it ever
has been-that the standard of play
on the diamond win be maintined."

icnaire. and the price was reported

weeks ago that Bedwell purchased the
cold Cudgel for the same price and
for the same man.

FIRST FOUR CLUBS
WILL CUT INTO PIE

Ban johnson and Garry Hermann,
appointed as a committee of two to
arrange a new division of the world
series prize money. have decided that
the best results can be obtained by
dividing a portion of the money be-
tween the clubs that finish in the first
division in each of the big leagues. The
players of the winning team will be
limited to 5000 each and the losing
players to 1,49o.
Several days ago 1t was announced
that Hermann and Johnson had
this agreement Opinion among base
ball men appears to be divided as to
whether this will benefit baseball or
not.

Bresnahan has about decided to fol-
low the lead OF the other club owners

that the American Association season
