PROPOSED RULE ON STYlNLES
DISCUSSED BYGOLFERS HERE
Fear " ont Work Om for Good of the Game-Some Fine
Shots in Amateur Title Play-Othcr Links Notes
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

The rule which the Royal and An
cient Golf Club will recommend for the
United States, according to cable
received in this country. as regards the
". k. Stymic, has not made what you
might call a tremendous hit in Phila-
delphia.
Officials Of the local golf association
and the star players assembled for the
amateur championship of the city at
Huntington Valley were Of the opinion
that the now ruling would not always
be successful in matches or leave an
opening for nsportsmanship which
might prove detrimental to the game.
The wording Of the message sent by
Howard +. Whitney, vice president of

follows:

it is felt that the proposed ruling
might work out nicely when both balls
are so close TO the hole that II there
were no stymie each putt could easily
be holed. but in the case of outside the

As for Instance
If player nearer the hole than the

player would naturally then not con-

on a tempest. One thing leads to
another in the game.
On the other hand II everybody got
to bowling, doffing caps and conceding
six foot or more puts. everything would
be lovely, but lot Of competitive spirit
would be extracted from the game,
which, in the opinion of the players

SELF-PITY SURE SIGN Il
THAT SLUMP IS NEAR
Hard Luck" as Much Part OF Came as Good Fortmo
Battle Is On Bet,Ueen Young and Old Stars
in Baseball ~
BY GRANTLAND RICE

THE development of proper pbilos-
4 ophy in sport is even more i'm
portant than the development of any
mere physical form in playing game:
Men have reached great heights OF
sporting glory whose playing form was
well of key. but none has ever reached
any lofty peak whose philosophy was
cracked or warped.
BY philosophy here we mean the
mental attitude held in regard to any
game that you may play---held and put
into action throughout each contest.
Philosophy and Sport
WTHAT. are some of the more i'm
w portant ingredients Of this sportive
philosophy?
One is to understand in advance that
| the game Is replete with knocks and
knots and trouble--that there will be
plenty of hard luck waiting down the
road---and that all this is merely a
part of any game. 30.
The one who can make up his mind
to accept this philosophy is underwrit :
ing lot of future discouragement
And discouragement has stopped more
possible winners than bad arms or bad
legs or some kink in form.
| The average view seems to be thai
hard luck is some outside particle
tossed in by some unkempt fate
| Whereas hard luck is as much part
of any game as the field. or the bat
or the club. or the ball or the player
who takes part. It must be accepted
as such in advance. Otherwise tht
Jolt will be all out of proportion.
There is n lot Of bad luck and lo
of good luck attached to every sport
The human tendency is to accept th'
good luck as part of the game ant
look upon the other rs some OUTSIDE
agency. But in the long run the TIVE
will even up. 80.
Bad luck has rarely put any indivi
dual or any tcnm out OF the running
But the depression that follows has.
Another Factor
A MOTHER important factor to b
n considered in developing sportin
philosophy worth while is the climina
ton of self f-pity.
II your friends or acquaintances carr
4 to extend their pity or sympathy, II IS
of course. all very well.
But to begin extending pity to your
self is the sure herald Of a comini
slump.
There are times when one may fee
that the world is against him, and tina
fate is uppcrcutting with both hands
The only comeback possible unde
this condition is renewed determination
to get going again--aud no renewed de
termination is possible with self-pit
