EI EVER has the outlook for ath- IS letics in this country been brighter than 1t is at present. With all of the more important indoor meets now passed into history as the most successful ever held. the atten- ton of the ciEderpath men naturally turns to the outdoor meets. The first big such affair this year will be staged on Franklin Field in Philadel- phia. Here the best athletes from all parts of the country will partici- pate in championship events
 Next to boxing, it is safe to say that athletics made more friends through the war than any other sport. Certainly the attendance at the indoor meets and the perform ances of the athletes who engaged in , them substantiate this contention.
 Leo P. Flynn has matched Johnny Russell to try conclusions with Eddie Coulon in a Hereunder at the Fran cais club, in Montreal. on March 20.

Golf Chatter

Just to show the interest in golf at the present time attention is called to the annual BeIIeair championship just finished. which attracted one of the largest and classiest fields ever play ed in this event. It was the strongest field as a whole that ever competed in a southern tournament. From top to bottom there were no weak spots in the list. Usually with champion ships and other tournaments played in the winter time in the south they have just enough top-notchers to make up a good eight, and the others who fill in more or less are not cap able of doing a good golf course in figures less than ninety.
 When George BaIch of Cincinnati the former Beleair champion, fell by the wayside, his son, De Witt. took up the burden for the Balch family He beat a, good man in Pat Grant of Philadelphia.
 Important changes and improve ments have been made on the course of the Great Neck Golf Club during the past thgee weeks under the direc- ton of Jack Hagan. The work has not yet been com pleted, but when finished the Great Neck links should be among the best in this section.
 At Belleair it was different. There were sixteen very good players on hand to make up the championship set, and if some of the players were not at top form on the qualifying day they were relegated to the second sixteen. When pools were sold on the players there were favorites, of course, but none stood out. As a re suit about six of them were made equal in the betting.
