DES MONIES Will
Be RETAINED IN
WESTERN LEAGUE
President Tearney Announces
Booster Backers Start
Campaign to Boost
Attendance.

Chicago, Dec. l3.-Retention Of
the Des Moines franchise in the
Western league virtually is assured
Tor the 1920 season, according to A..
4. Tearney, president Of the, league,
Sho has been advised that hackers
I the Grub have launched CAM
paign to guarantee an attendance of
10000 for the coming season.
Thomas P. Fairweather, president
Of the club, and mayor of Des
Moines, will enlist the aid of COM
mercial organizations to revive the
base bail spirit Of the city. Mayor
Eairweather, however, does not con-
template IA guaranteed ticket sale at
this time to assure the required at
tendance, but will line up CONNER
cial organizations for the drive -just
before the opening of the season. In
the meantime, Mayor Fairweather
will personally guarantee that Des
MONIES will retain its franchise.
The attendance at Des Moines
during the past season was disap-
pointfnent to the other club owners
and notice was served at the recent
meeting of the league in Chicago
that unless better support was as
surcd the club for next season, .he
franchise would be transferred. The
city must guarantee an. attendance
Of 10000 for 1920 or losesits berth,
which means that-the attendance
next season must be increased TO-
900 over the paid admissions Of the
1919 campaign.
The only thin ice in The league
last season was at Des Moines. In
The other seven cities, the season
was financial success, the total at
tendance being in the neighborhood
Of 100000. These figures include the
$4,000 attendance at Des Moines.
The 1919 season. according to Presi-
dent Tearney, was the most success
ful in FIVE years.
Members of the schedule commit
tee consisting of Frank kbell Of the
Wichita club, William Rourke of
Omaha, and Jack Holland, owner Of
the Oklahoma City club, already
have begun the draft of a playing
chart for the coming season. The
league will lengthen its champion
ship season to pre-war schedule of
l54 games instead of a 140-gamc
program.
The schedule meeting. President
Tearney said, will be held in Omaha
soon after the first of the year.

Says Stymie Continually
Defeats Better Golf Game
Declares It Is Against the Clean Principles of Any
Amateur Sport-Contrary to the Popular Slogan,
May the Best Man Win"-For Eradication in
America.

About the time ! was barred as an
amateur by the national assoeia-
ton and recognized as one by the
western body, Yin 1917, to be exact,
the latter organization made an ef-
fort to abolish the stymie. Although
1t eventually failed it was a move
in the right direction and much
credit is due them for the effort. AS
/ recall the substitute rule the
player whose ball was nearer the
hole had the option of putting first
or of marking his ball. Now as the
reason for the styme was to prevent
one lifting his ball there was an
objection raised. Another objection,
which was sound was in being
forced to put first although you
had the better approach. 1t lost
one the big advantage gained by
forcing the player farthest from the
:up to make the first attempt,
Defeats Better Golf.
To my way of thinking a player
who styries himself should be com
PEELED to play the stymie. Otherwise
all matches should follow medal
round rules, the ball to be lifted in
case of ! stymie and your opponent
given a clear right of way to the
cup. The Lord only knows it's hard
enough to sink them at that. o.
course the one stroke penalty in
Cured for lifting the others bal
on the greens, as in medal play
should BE removed.
Let me cite an example OF what
the stym;e rule SO often does. DIR
Paul Hunter of Midlothian, one oil
the best amateur golfers, was play,
ing in western amateur when he
reached the 18th tee one down. A
fine drive and most skillful mid-iron
placed his ball six feet from the
cup. His opponent fell short on his
second but his third was dead to
the hole. 1t was a styn1ie, though
impossible to negotiate and thus DR.
Hunter was forced to surrender d
match without even having a chance
to square it when he outplayed his
opponent. Continually the stymie
defeats the better golf and that,
hold, is contrary to the slogan SC
truly popular with all good sports
man. MAY the best man win"
