New York, May 24.-The Sleeps

modelled for the opening automo-

gagged an engineer and speedway
expert who will survey the two
mile board oval and report how it
can be made faster than two miles

One plan already submitted calls
for an expenditure Of $4,000 and
the installation Of new method OF
banking the turns. which would
make the track from eight to 10
seconds faster per mile. The final
decision to increase the speed posi-
bilities was made only after cabled

drivers that the course was too
slow. This, following Ralph De

"treaky" is the best single word
to use in characterizing the outlook
Tor the 1919 golhng season. Tech
nically, there is suspicion in the
minds of long time observers that
the year will leave plenty to be de-
sired, but sensational developments
promise to be as thick as small
Strawberries at the bottom OF the
grocers baskets. In short, it will
be an episode and newsS period in
the sport now second only to base
ball III point of diffusion.
There has been no competitive
play worthy of consideration since
1910, and most golfers are in any
thing but form. In the meantime,
several smashing youngsters have
been developing, but under such
thick cover as to render them still
obscure.
War influences will predominant.
Few pastimes will appeal SO strong
ly to invaded soldiers who have
classified the clubs as follows:
Putter. close range; mashie. effec-
tive range; iron or brassie, long
range; driver, distant range. Lift
ing the ban on all Sunday sports
will speedily be felt by the royal
and ancient.
Equalizing Sex Handicaps.
Testing the sexes as to handicap
requirements will be undertaken
next month in England, and not a
bit too soon, in view of their in
creasing tendency to oppose each
other, cultivated through the Red
Cross matches. Many believe their
equalization can be brought about
wholly through the varying loca-
ton of tees without complicating
the situation by stroke allowances
in addition.
Another change is due in two
when the tea room will re-
place the tanglefoot rendezvous.
The 10 per cent war tax on club
dues exceeding $40 also constitutes
an element that must be taken into
account.
The juniors will not prove a new
incoming force, but for the first time
players in pin feathers will receive
adequate encouragement and not be
shunted into the misty background
Many high schools are taking up
golf, and for a second time Georgia
students are to invade the piney
precincts in hope of drawing fire
toward palmetto land.
Small Prizes Ignored.
Another increasing influence will
be the rising outgo for prizes, cor
responding to the cost of living.
Brady, Massachusetts, open
champion, says the $3.50 cash offered
by the Bay State association is quite
too insignificant to warrant his de-
Tending that title.

will have a team match with Cana
dams, who are likely to get into a
mess through their curiously double
back action scheme to also turn the
dominion championship into a fes-
tival for average golfers.

ing season. Now for the threatened
filigree.

fitting from one to the other at
whirlwind speed. 1t is only the logi-
cal advance from aeroplane maps Of
links. Anyhow, the plane propellers
would be mighty handy in tanning
tangled spots out of the rough and
at the same time throwing so much
dust in the eyes of the referees"
they couldn't see infractions of the
rules. The idea recalls Francis
Ouimet's scheme for a match with
ideal players at every stroke. as fol-
lows: Abe Mitchell, driver; Chick
Evans, brassie; Jerome Travers, or
Walter Travers, putter.
First Shall Be Last.
And now for detailed wrinkles.
Beginners are likely to be obliged to
master the putter first, as long advo-
Gated by advanced minds. although
by that method it will be long be-
fore they experience the thrill of
making good drivc-by accident.
Now that history at Columbia and
Harvard is to be taught backwards
instead Of starting amid the uncer-
tain light Of primeval chaos, the last
club in the bag shall be called first
and the first last, but by compromise
those in the middle won't be dis
turbed.
Reverse Greens; Prolong Life.
Speaking of order on the courses,
green's are to be played in reverse
direction to help them wear longer.
There is no reason why they
shouldn't run either way, like a re-
versible collar or a street car. Bos-
ton dentists in reunion match last
season all started the same time
from different tees, and instead Of
calling it first and second round used
upper and under as demonstrators.
Another increasing wrinkle is in
the line of undulations on putting
greens, such as at the Broadmoor
(Col) club, which has one shaped
like a clover leaf and another like a
horse shoe, while at the Lochmoor
club, Detroit, one is in the form of

Is it to be busy season? Well.
there were 316 starters in the Pine

That, of course, affords the captious
minded chance to say that by
choosing the lesser affair he lodged
obligation in favor of personal ease.

extract quarters, dimes and nickels
from any curious ones who stroll
too near the building or who want
to get a peek at the challenger ip
action.
Jess Willard also will exact a
stated amount from the sight seek
ers. When Jess trained in New York
for his match with Moran he kept
one eye on the door of his Forty
fourth street quarters and the other
on the punching bags put before
him. In this way Jess half accom-
plished his desire of being fit and
fully piled up the money. If it takes
quarter to peek at Dempsey in
training stunts it will cost twice that
amount to see Willard perform.
In case Willard and Dempsey are
unable to fatten each other when
they meet, the title will go by ref
eree's decision. This will be a de-
cided change. No heavyweight
championship-none in the last 80
years-has ever changed hands over
any other route than the K. O.,
which is generally conclusive. The
closest call to a decision was Cor
belts first meeting with Jeffries
over the 25-round distance.
For q rounds Corbett outpointed
Jeff by dozen leagues. He had the
argument all his own way until he
became overconfdent and strayed in
close reach of Jeff's swing. If Cor
bett had been content to play it safe
for round or two longer he would
have rewon his title to a certainty,
for the referee could have given the
decision no other way.

lard Storage Battery, scheduled at
Fontenelle park, also promises to be
real treat for the fans and prob
ably the feature game in the City
league. The Storage Battery boys
are out for revenge over the to 8
defeat handed them at the opening
of the season, and have been prac-
ticing hard during the week. Man
ager Pascal of the Outftters says
his warriors will be at the large end
of the score when the game is fin
ished. Elmer Nufer will again be
seen in the box for the Outftters,
while George Easton, formerly with
the Willard Storage Battery crew,
will play against his former team
mates.
At Miller Park.
Although the McCatfery Motor
company trounced the Nickel Vic
trolas in the opening game of the
season by decisive score of IS to
|, Manager Walter Pates of the lat
ter crew says they will not do it
again, when they meet in the sec
ond game of the season this after
noon at Miller park. A pitchers
battle is expected as two of the
crack twirlers in the city will op-
pose each other. Bill Goodro will
do the heaving for the Mickels,
while Jimmy Moore will be on the
firing line for the Motor lads.
At Riverview park at $50 o'clock
the Paxton ierlings, leaders of the
American league, will meet the
Sample and a hard-fought
game can be expected as the
teams are evenly matched. Man
ager Frank Hubatka, the old war
horse" of the motor team announced
last night that he is confident that
his crew will even up matters with
the iron workers. Scheaf will do
the hurting, and as he is in the best
of form, the opponents will find
his curves hard to hit.
Strengthen Rubber Team.
In the opening game at Riverview
park the Harding Cream company
who have not been defeated this
season by any team in the Inter
City league, will clash with the John
Day Rubber company for the sec
ond time this season. Although the
rubber lads have won but one game
thus far they are confident of pull
ing down the leaders a notch this
afternoon, as they have added some
new material to their lineup and
will spring few dark horses" on
their opponents.
Considerable rivalry exists be-
tween the Highland Park Fhar-
macy's and the Harley-Davidson
aggregations in the Inter-City
league, and a hard-fought battle is
anticipated when these two teams
meet at 80 o'clock at Miller park.
At Luxus Park.
Four of the seven teams in the
Booster league will be seen in &C
ton at Luxus park and all of the
games promise to be of great inter
est. The initial contest will be put
on by the Trimble Bros. of "Shee-
ley" and the Daily News team, tail
enders of the league, while the sec
ond battle is scheduled between the
Nancy Milling company and the
World-Herald team. Both Manager
Krakowski of the Trimbles and
Manager Hirons of the Milling out
fits predict that their teams will be
at the big end of the score when
their games are over.

are killed by fertilizer that would
