Senior Title Indoor Meet
To Be Held in I'D REM.

, Definite announcement of the dates
and places for holding the A. A. u
national junior and senior indoor track
and field championships for 1920 wa.
made yesterday by Frederick w. Ru-
bien, chairman Of the A. A. u cham
pionship committee, from the head
quarters in New York. Buffalo has
been selected as the scene of the junior
titular events, and they will take place
there on Saturday evening, February
81. The senior championships will be
held at the 22d Regiment Armory in
New York City. on Saturday evening,
March 10.
With one exception the name list of
championship events as has been held
in previous years will be on the pro-
gram. The one exception is the walk,
and the distance of this race will be
one mile instead of two miles. This
change was made at the last annual
convention of the A. A. U. to give the
short distance walkers chance to
compete for championship honors.
The complete list of events to be
held at both meets is:
Sixty-yard dash, 40O-yard run, 600
yard run, 1,000-yard run, two-mile ran,
one-mile walk, running high jump,
standing broad jump standing high
jump, putting 16-pound shot and 10
ward hurdles (six flights feet 6
inches high).
1t has not been definitely decided in
which of the two Buffalo armories the
junior championships will be held. Both
the 65th and 74th Regiment A. A. off,
Gals are anxious to conduct this meet,
and it is expected that the matter will
be finally settled upon at a special
meeting Of the Niagara Association of
the A. A.. U. during the coming week.
ties for holding games, and no matter
which armory is selected there will be
no objection on the part of the ath-
letes, as the track and conditions in
both places are Of the BEST
Buffalo is so centrally located for
athletes coming from Chicago, Cincin-
natl, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland,
Columbus, Pittsburgh, Boston and New
York that all these athletic centers
can send big teams at small expense,
and A. A. U officials are expecting the
meet this year to be the most success
full in the history of the junior cham
pionships. In addition to the club
teams it is expected that many of the
colleges will be represented.
The fact that this is Olympic year
will add Importance to the senior in
door championship meet. 1t will give
the members of the American Olympic
Committee good opportunity to get
line on the best men in competition
at the time and will give them some
idea Of the strength of the team which
will represent this country in the
Olympic games at Antwerp next AN
gust. 1t will be the only meet where
the college and club stars will meet
on an equal footing before the Olym-
pic try-outs next summer, and the re-
suits of these championships will
furnish an opportunity of comparing
their ability.
Boston A. A. captured the senior
team championship last year, while
Princeton University and the Pastime
Athletic Club tied in the junior meet
for the point championship. The New
York Athletic Club and Chicago A. A.
were not represented in these cham
pionships, but they are developing
strong teams and have high hopes Of

Chairman of Shooting Com.
mittee Takes the High
Scratch Prize With a 95

Notwithstanding the fact that high
winds made low scores for the ma
jority of the gunners at the Travers
Island traps of the New York A. C.
yesterday, George ]. Corbett, chairman
of the shooting committee, did some ex-
cellent work and won the high scratch
prize with card Of 95 out Of a pos
sible 100 targets. Corbett was one of
the few nimrods to run straight in the
individual strings during the shoot. In
both the Travers Island and the club
cups the chairman made perfect scores
of rs.
The high handicap prize went to W.
C. Poertner after the usual shoot-off.
With handicap of "a the winner had
full card of 100 targets in the orogi-
nal round of the traps. The Travers
Island trophy was annexed by C. w.
handicap of seven targets. He took
the cup on the shoot-off In the shoot
for the Buermeyer cup, at lfty targets,

bett, E. D. Anderson and C., Dillon. All
had totals of 40.
With the exception of Corbett, the
only other member to make straight
string was E. D. Anderson, who had q
perfect score in the shoot for the club
cup.
Several visitors did better than the
club members. DR.. D. L. Culver had a
perfect score in the shoot for the
Haslin cup. P. Won Boeckman and F..
Salamon did equally as we'll in the
shoot for the club cup.
Under the rules that govern the
shooting at Travers Island this year

ten-foot putt that brings a 3.

Gone, too, is the agony of the two

Few Balks Made by
Pitchers in National

In the National League only seven
teen pitchers were penalized for balk-
ing during the 1919 season. Of these
but two made more than one balk.
Elmer Jacobs had three balks called on
him and Oscar Tuero two. A balk was
called on Fred Toney, of the Giants,
which cheated Max Carey out of a
stolen base
Carey stole base clearly, as he
thought, in game at the Polo Grounds
on August "a, but the next day Umpire
Quigley declared that he had called a
balk on Toney, and the scorers were
compelled to correct their sheets.

The Fever


Other. games grow upon a player.
Golf catches with an instant grip. We
took Roger Peckinpaugh, the star
Yankee shortstop, one morning down
South for his first test.
He didn't believe he would like 1t,
but he was willing to try. Peck is
one of the few who seemed to have
natural swing from the start. He
struck off more than one 200-yard
wallop down the course. From that
point on he was always looking for
chance to get out for an early round
even though he had four hours of hard
practice ahead at his own game
Mathewson, Merkle, Doyle and other
we'll known ball players, took to the
game in the same way after their first
ttry-out. One. round was enough to
lure them back.

is one thing. Lido, dashed by the At
lantic, is another.
There are hilly courses and the roll
ing courses and the fiat courses-with
every variety Of sod and turf and
tree.
The golfer may not see as much of
these as he should, in his ABSORPTION
in the game, but the beauty Of it sinks
in at certain intervals, especially when
he is up and 4 to play, with the
strain all over.

Another Range


The end of the football season af-
fccts only those between the ages of
twelve and twenty-five. The end of
the baseball season hits at those be-
tween the ages of ten and forty. Not
many beyond forty or forty-hve care
for tennis.
But the end of the golfing season
strikes at a far wider range, affecting
those between the ages of ten and
eighty. Old men and young boys, old
women and young girls, athletes and
the thin-chested-rich and poor-no
class of society is left out
This is why COLTS appeal has been
so general, why in few years it has
gathered in over 100000 players and
why ,.Jhin five or ten years the num-
Der will grow to 100000 as courses
begin to increase and the game con-
tinues to spread.

The Endless VARIETY

Then, too, golf calls for every vari-
ety. Of club and stroke There is the
full wallop down the course for ESQ
yards, or, perhaps, at times trife
more-or trife less.
There is the 18o-yard carry across
some trap or ditch or pond; there is
the 17O-,yard iron shot; the 16o-yard
Jigger shot; the 135-yard mashie shot;
the 1o0-yard niblick pitch; the 20
ya"d chip shot and every variety of
putt from SO feet to IL inches.
The infinite variety of the game, in
the way OF courses and strokes, is one
OF its strongest appeals; variety be-
ing, as they say, the spice of life.
Viewing this outburst in detail YOU
may understand why some 100000
folks are waiting eagerly for the sud
den arrival of another April morning,
niblick will bring back a vanished
melody to the drab noises Of life.

A Long Four Months

These will be long four months
for the multitude. Their marching
thousands began last April, when the
grass was still young and pale green
and the alibi was fresh and buoyant.
Tramping the turf they watched the
leaves come out, develop in the early
summer sun, turn to gold and brown
and drift away as they were slogginQ
along from bunker to bunker and
from pit to pit. But, after all. thew
probably saw very few leaves or very
few other wonders of nature. The
golfer rarely does. His intense soul is
focused upon the ball. He ewes it
with an answering glare until his
club bead starts down, whereupon his
own head comes up just in time to
register bad miss. ~One day this
summer we were helping an opponent
to look for his ball, hooked to the
rough. 1t was just before sunset. We
were standing on ridge at the time,
where the yellow light on the hill
drifted into purple tints through the
valley, leaving wonderful mixture of
contour and color.
"A wonderful sight," we remarked.
Where is it?" asked our opponent.

The Wide Range
For those who care to take it, golf
gives the widest range of vision, the
greatest contrasts, in all sports.
Football fields, baseball fields and
tennis courts are much alike. But in
one place, at golf, you get the valleys
and the hills, the ravines and the
roll'ng dips, the streams and the lakes
of the inland courses.
AT another you get the almost tree
less sweep of the seaside links, the
bleak and barren drifts of earth. swcnt

WHY NOT THE BABIES, TOO?

Certain organizations first would "nationalize" the rail
roads with the steel industry to follow. Now another organi-
cation wants TO 'nationalize' the coal fields.
But why not the farms and the pigs and why not follow
Bolshevism further and nationalize the women and children
also, so that certain lazy and crazy creatures may devote all
their attention to the women and the breeding of children,
leaving the state-that wonderfully all-wise and benign crea
ture called the state or nation-tO see to the bringing up of
them? Why should those who are willing to endure the
agonies and inconvenience of being fathers. and mothers
be expected to provide for their offsprings? Why should not
the "state" do that for them? The state, you know, is all
Slavery bonds and then the trick is turned. The possibilities
have not been exhausted, not even touched upon. That is the
Russian scheme.
But the craze for naturalization, while it may still linger
among a few miners and while it may still be w%orshipped by
the followers of a certain Mr.. Plumb, is really not as divine as
ii once seemed. There are a great many persons who have
their bellies as well as their minds full of that kind of stuff.
Every one who ships or travels knows what it means when
applied to railroads. The state or the nation is such a dill
gent business man that the only way to make certain that a
into the car and stay with it to the end and it is best for him
to take his shotgun along to keep the thieves out in transit.
The pOliicians-for they are all that represent the state
or nation in business-have made such an unholy mess of
things that have been turned over to them that the average
man does not want any mpre of ii. So far as the public is
concerned it knows that everything that the government has
touched has been more or less spoiled.
