0LDFIELD SAYS DE PALMA MARK
 IS UNBEATABLE
Veteran Driver Takes Issue With Those Who Predict The Fall of Indianapolis Record.

Indianapolis. May 24.--Barney Old field, Americas grand old man of the racing game, takes radical issue with those who predict the fall of De- Palna's 500-mile record of S9.s4 miles an hour in this years Liberty Sweep stakes race on the Hoosier Speedway. May 31; in fact Barney is willing to bet a roll of dough to this effect.
 Barney's contention is that in. long race the physical endurance of the driver is of mope importance than the speed of the car and that the favor ties of this years field are not equal in staying powers to Ralph DePalma at the time he made his record, De- Palma included.
 T used to be quite driver myself remarked OIdfield, but not any more- Age will tell. It is four years now since Ralph DePalma hung up his fla nous record, and you can bet your life he will never again be in the physical shape he was in at that time. The same thing goes for Resta, who chased him every foot of the way.
 Concerning the argument of ptysi- cal endurance, you may remember that before DePalma went into the lead. in 1915, Gil Anderson carried the field along for fully half the distance at a heart breaking pace. The thing
  way post was simply inferior physical condition. Gil was tired, that's all.
 Then the weather must be taken into conSiderati tion. The weather on the day of DePalma's feat was ideal for record breaking, cool and cloudy The moisture in the air made ideal carburetion, and the lack of sunshine kept the track from getting hot, say ing the tires
 this retired racing celebrity, driver of Stutz cars, and relief driver for Joe Dawson when he won his 1912 Indian apohs victory, ventured a few re marks on the other side of the argu- ment.
 T figure said Herr, that any fall ing off in the physical condition of the drivers will more than be made up by the greater ease of handling this years cars. With plenty of speed, it isn't necessary to work quite so hard on the turns, and the drivers can rest l up a bit every now and then, leaving 2 them in as good condition at the fin l ish as before.
 l The reason Anderson broke down in 1914 was simply that with slower car he had to kick her in the tail every foot of the way, and this finally got his goat. The boys this year, with much faster wagons, can take it a lot easier and still get DePalma's record. l As for weather conditions, I fig ure racing tires have improved more than enough during the last four years to offset any handicap that might result from hot day. and car buretion is minor factor
 | Despite Herr's arguments, Oldffeld re- mained unconvinced, and declared that his 'bankroll was prepared to back up his side of the controversy If 1 therefore, gentle reader, you happen to differ from Oldfield's opinions and have the courage to back up your con- IVlctlons, you can get plenty of action for your money by writing, wiring, or personally interviewing Barney at his Cleveland address

RICHARD DID NOT REALIZE
 RULE BREAK
So Thinks Golfing Expert Player Writer Nuisance Again is Threatened.
By THE RUNNER-UP.

Before the printers ink was dry; last week, on the paragraph con- cerning: "Once a golf profteer, al- ways a profitee of golf,'' came the suspension of Vincent Richards by the United States Tennis Association for one of the several abuses I enum- erated as standing to the discredit of a well-known golfer. Several de- tails make the case curiously parallel Richards, however, is almost too young to realize the error of his ways, but the golfer in question can plead to no such excuse. It seems that Rich ards team partner. Tilden of Phila- delphia, when under investigation. some time ago. declared that he was a "floorwaIker" for the sporting goods section of a. certain store, but admitted that he occasionally showed tennis goods a ''sideline." What rot.
 As noted last week, at the annual meeting of the United States Golf Association at the Hotel Astor, in 1917, at which Francis Ouimets case held the center of the stage, Presi- dent Woodward told the delegates that Ouinet's attractions of the anna
 teur status were tumbled over in investigating the operations of an- other player, who, in consequence, had been transferred" outside the golf department. How long would Richards or the golfer in question remain with such conc srns if there tennis and golf deteriorated? Rich ards says he took his job to win a bet, which is becoming a threadbare excuse. By the way, Fred Knight, hero" of the Quaker City mara thon." told me, a few days since. he was tired of the notoriety his en- durance tests had given him. They were on wagers too. Nobody doubts that fact. but as Knight has agreed

U. $. National Lawn Tennis Body Sends Out Rule Pertaining to Profession als-Links Comment.

Any club or association which
 pays directly or indirectly the ex-
 penses board or lodging of any
 tennis player, must send q detailed
 mmorandum of such expenditures
 to Edwin F. Torrey, secretary of
 the United States National Lawn
 Tennis Association. for the infor-
 nation of the Executive Commit
 tee.
 Any player engaged in the
 sporting goods business must
 send to Secretary Torrey by June
 1st in each year a statement coy-
 ering his tennis activities for the
 previous year, along these lines:
 Number of tournaments entered
 and time absent from business for
 such play; extent to which the
 player has to do with sporting
 goods as compard with other lines
 of goods handled for his firm.
 Any player purposing to enter
 the sporting goods business must
 before doing so send Secretary
 Torry a statement of the "details of
 the proposed employment"
 THE foregoing summarizes the re- quirements o4 the amateur rule of the United States National Lawn Ten his Association, as stated in a. bulletin being sent it's members by the am ateur rule committee which is em- powerd by the executive committee to deal with this matter. Not only are the clubs addressed, but also the play CTS who are known to be connected with sporting goods firms. and the firms dealing in athletic supplies.
 The latter are informed Of the com mittee's belief that much of the pop ularity enjoyed by tennis is due to it's recognized standing as an amateur sport, and the danger of breaking down the standards by the increasing tendency to employ prominent tennis players, is emphasized. On this point it's statement reads: The commit tees attitude is based on considera- tions believed to be for the best inter- estS of the game. We believe that you also want to serve the same ends and offer this statement to avoid any misundersta nding. Your suggestions will be welcome, for mutual realiza- tion of the other mans point of view will go far to accomplish a united eff fort for the growth of tennis in which we are all keenly interested" The inquiry as to payment of play CTS expenses is addressed to clubs in an effort to find out whether any play CTS are making a living out of tennis by playing throughout the season in events for which their railroad fare. board and lodging are paid by the clubs. Such a practice would be at odds with the basic requirements of amateurism in sports and the com mittee's letter to the clubs says: The Executive Committee believes that you will cooperate Loyalty with the National Association in keeping the amateur standard of tennis through out the United States, clean and above reproach."
 ] So far as the individual players are | concerned, the committees question naire does not contemplate action un- til the information covering their ac- 1 tlvitles during the present season is available, which will be December 1st, 1919. Although the resolution calling for these reports was passed in 1917. no action was taken in 1917 or 1918 on l account of the war. On this point the committees letter to the players has I

to make one or two more such at tempts, his friends are Joking him to the effect that he is trying to earn his living that way.
 This is not the, plact to discuss Richards suspension, which possibly may have been partly due to inter- city feeling between New York and Philadelphia, or on the score of the youthful offenders freshness Of course, golfers and others cannot for get the aninadversions Fred Alex ander. Beals Wright and the Nc Loughlin and Bundy combination in vited, and how the tennis soIons winked at them. Such vioiators thrive for a time, but are certain to steadily shrink in public estima tion, following disclosure as to bus mess connections.
 The amateur links architect evil has been laid by body blow, but the writer nuisance is still limited only by the rule that no fictitious name shall be appended. It is high time that another step is taken by forbidding players to write about all contests in which they participate. as they proposed long ago at a nat ional meeting by Fred Herreshoff The common sense need of such re- striction is too clear to require ex- planation. Such pariici pants 0ntil they have been eliminated, can see only their own matches. but the main ob- lection is that they are not placed to write impartially and dispassion- ately.
 There fs no need of apoligizing for picking again on the old harp string for it is the biggest question of the era. It strikes at the very life and heart and incidentally its pockof. No wonder that the Richards Incident has kept tongues wagsing in every department of sport for a week past Here Is one of the two sections of the bylaws in which Richards was held accountable: Any person shall cease to be an amateur by committing any of the following acts: By per mitting or sanctioning the use of his name to advertise or promote the sale of tennis goods for pecuniary profit or by permitting his name to
 be advertised or published as the author of books or articles on tennis of which he is not actually the au- thor" A certain golfer, by the fore going rule could be read out of the simonpure ranks instanter because he comes close to conducting a two or three shell game by writing under the name of an acquaintance.

Lessons, Ere Habits Are Formed, May Save Re grets-Other News from the Links.

How many of the golf beginners at the various clubs would like to be- come champions? It is doubtful if there is a single individual, young or old, who does not look with envy upon the favored one who thinks nothing of reeling off rounds in the '70's. They may all have said at one time or another, "Oh, I never ex- pect to be a champion; the best for me is exercise" and so on. Just the same, they are sorry the shots don't come off the way they ought. They would be champions if they could; the very knowledge of being able to play championship golf would add not a little to their cup of hap piness.
