Henry was warmly recommended for
the Cornell position by Jennings, who
is member of the executive commit
tee Of the Cornell Alumni Baseball
Association, which was instrumental
in bringing about Cornell's return to
the professional coaching system in
baseball. Jennings has known Henry,
who was a catcher on the Washington
years, and he speaks and writes highly
of him.
Henry is due here February to
map out the plans for winter practice
in the baseball cage. A number of
players from last years team will be
available this Spring, foremost among
them Arthur Olsen, one of the best
pitchers Cornell has had in years

WILLIAMSTOWN, Jan. 17.-Plans
are progressing here for having Will
Jams represented in the first intercol-

York on May 8. The Williams Aero

service men as charter members and
there is little doubt but that the Pur-

quest in the near future.
A fund is being raised among alumni
and undergraduates to cover the ex-
pense Of the training for the race. Two
airplanes will be brought here and q
hangar will be erected. Two mechanics
must be engaged too to care for the
machines. John W. Lasell, 20. OF

Balcstier sprang forward, to leave his
rivals behind and win by eight yards.
He returned the fast time of l minute
19 seconds for the distance.
A. c. Reilly, another knights repre-
sentative. was second, only inches in
front of Jack R.Sellers, New York Ath-

pion at the distance. However, Sell
lers's poor showing may be accounted
to being pocketed the greater part of
the distance and he was unable to get
clear until too late.
AL Dolder, the veteran West Side
runner, came back with one of his best
performances in capturing the 1,U0O-
yard handicap run. He gradually
worked his way to the front to assume
command on the final turn, to win by
three yards. Frank Glynn, Loughlin

Observation-Disclosures

With the improvement noted in the
manufacture of golf balls. where by
greater distances are being reached
many golfers have advocated the return
to single standard make Of ball So
that all shall compete on even terms
and no further changes in the layout oi
golf courses shall be required to meet
the ball Improvement.
This argument develops greater com-
plexities. While there is a standard
ball in baseball, football and tennis
the ball used in these three games is
common property, whereas, in golf
each man plays his own ball. And
where one player likes light ball, an
other wants heavier one; and where
one esteems a hoater as dire neces-
sitv, another would have none Of it.
The golf ball has already reached
the limit of its fight to all practical
purposes, for if it gets any raster it
will be beyond control around the
green.
In the second place, no rule or reg
ulation is going to make a man who
likes a heavy ball play with light
one, if he can still buy the ball he
wants. We mean here in every play,
outside Of tournaments.
1t would be difficult rule to en-
force, for golfers have been playing
with the type of ball they like for
too many years and the committee
in charge would need an army of in
spectors to keep accurate tab The
only possible way to enforce this rule
would be to make manufacturers turn
out only the standard type, which
many manufacturers would very likely
refuse to do.
- ~,,sk
who insist upon certain make of
ball is going to try to meet this de-
If he doesn't some other manufac-
turer will.
1t seems here that the golf ball prop
osition should be left alone withom
taking on further complications. If
some new ball is put on the market
that really travels we'll beyond the
fight Of any other, the matter might
be taken up again.
AS things arc now the various types
merely add variety to the game,
where variety is still the spice of Ii e.
This ,rulc might have been put into
effect DIT the beginning. But it is O
trife late now to redirect fixed habits
lne matter Oh tHe ocnnectauy put
ter will also be taken up, but whether
the two golfing dominions will ever
get together on this argument is an
other affair. There is no reason for
any wide divergence upon any of these
subjects, with the world at large turn
ing to compromise arrangements where
an agreement can be reached in no
other way. Golf can keep going with
out change in it's present makeup
|. But in the cropping struggle toward
perfection there are at least one OF
two rule changes that, beyond any
doubt, will help the game.

First-The Stymie

FlISt-1Ne Stymle
There is this to be said against the
stymic as an article Of war:
(a) 1t has been practically discarded
in America in all matches that are
not d part Of tournament play. The
without being harrassed by rule of
the game that to him seems a useless
and unfair adjunct.
(b) 1t is penalty that develops
neither through your opponents good
play nor through your own error or
mistake, being entirely matter Of
luck and very frequently beyond any
golfers ekill to overcome.
In it's favor this might be added:
(a) When properly negotiated it is
the most spectacular shot in golf and
ohe requiring the highest order Of
skill.
OBJ 1t has been one of the rcgula-
tions Of the game since the irst braw
Scot swatted a feather ball with a
shepherds crook.
stymic is that it forms penalty COM
posed of sheer luck. We mean by
this the stymie laid by an opponent,
not one resulting from players
own mistake. If man lay himself
a stymie that is another matter. But
to have two-foot putt for and
then to have your opponents fourth
shot straggle up between your ball
and the hole merely gives him most
Of the time an undeserved half, an
unearned advantage.
There is enough luck in golf, as in
all other games, as it is, without main
tanning any surplus.
Golf, as game, could undoubtedly
be improved by discarding stymie
laid by an opponent. But the stymie
about division of rules if the Scot
tish adherents desire to stick by the
old custom.
Second-The Penalty for a Lost Ball
A golfer steps up to the tee and
then slices or hooks the ball some
fifty or sixty yards off the course
across some fence or wall for an out
Of bounds shot.
The penalty is the one stroke he
has missed.
Later he may slice or hook only
few yards off the course into tall
grass or other battling substance and
lose his ball.
The penalty here for the lesser mis-
taxes lS Inc iOoS VI uil IhC AhctaHNSo
he has gained and the stroke as we'll
In effect it is the loss Of two strokes
double the penalty of the out Of bounds
mistake. Therefore, more often than
not, he suffers double penalty for
lesser mistake.
The majority Of golf balls driven
out Of bounds would never be found
Most Of them would come under the
Gloss ball". classification except they
arc so badly played as to be clean of
the 10O-acre course.
A lost ball might be only a few feet
of tho fairwRy, in the edge Of the
rough. Yet it carries a much severez
tax.
No great amount Of philosophical
discussion is needed here to see the
injustice OF this rule. =,
| II golfer loses his ball he should
be made to consider that lost stroke
Just as he does for an out Of bounds
