GOLF FACES GREAT YEAR
No Links Star Killed Despite
Proud War Record of
Devotees.

In spite of the fact that the leading
lights in golf were in the Army, not a
single great player has been lost to the
game. OF course, a great many of the
cracks are still with the colors, and it
may be several months before they re-
ceive their discharge. but present indi-
cations are that most of them will be
home in time to compete in tournaments
during the summer What stories will
be told at the nineteenth hole" after a
day spent on the links,
Golf has every reason to be proud of
the record which its devotees made dur
ing the war. The number of players
who received their commissions and
were cited for bravery is beyond all es
innate. and both from the point of field
service and from the manner in which
our golfers supported the boys at the
front the links game stands out in the
van of every other sport.
Golf now stands on, the threshold of
the greatest year the game has ever
known. Men who have been with the
colors can't wait for spring to give
them chance to hit the ball. and they
are rushing to the indoor schools and
practicing daily SO that they will be in
form when the real season opens.

Ed FOSTER AGREES
TO GR|FF'S TERMS
Pilot Busy With Contract
$4,000 Offered Willard Is
Record Purse for Fight.
DEMPSEY LOGICAL CHOICE
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

If the speed with which Manager
Griffith reached an agreement on sal
airy with Eddie Foster yesterday may
he taken as a criterion, the Nashlns-
ton club will have little trouble IN
lining up its athletes for the 1919
campaign. Foster was closeted with
his boss for nearly an hour, but most
of that time was given over to fam
ming and with the social amenities
deleted. tae purely business part OF
the transaction could have been ac-
complished in ten minutes.
Foster winters in Washington and
his time since the close of last season
has been divided between work of an
essential character and a large group
of boys in mis- Sunday school class.
His week day labors have kept him
oIf in the open much of the time and
i.~ - physically fit as the proven
bal fiddle right now The thirdsacker
has not actually signed contract, as
he has not received it. but this
merely is Formally. as he found the
terms offered him TO his liking and
agreed to accept them.
The hrevity OF FOSTERS business con-
fdo with ,Grif1th is typical OF the eXpe-
rience OF players who call on the manager
to discuss financial matters. Long dis
lance reports of threats to kick over
the traces bob up every winter. Ru-
merS recently had Jim Shaw and Joe
Judge issuing ultimatums anent in
creased stipends. But when they visit
the helmsman's sanctum and are con-
fronted with the official averages the
belligerent performers usually become
tractable and take their pens in hand.
Fosters acquisition assures the Ma
tionals of four of the twenty three
men at present listed as eligible for
service the coming summer. the
others being Johnson. Picinich and
Joe Brown. the youthful infielder.
Griffith recently has been devoting
the major part of his endeavors at
the Southern building to drawing up
contracts for the season. now but
three months distant. About half of
the documents have been filled out
and mailed. and he expects to COM
,plete the work within a few days.
Undue haste in returning them, with
the dotted line decorated. is not
called for, and it may be several
weeks before the boys send them
back to repose in the safe. but to
voice the manager: They'll all be
in line by the time activities start at
Augusta.
