Water in 1921-Women
Champs Fare Well.

Golf returned to the high and pop
ular plane it enjoyed before the war.
The visits of the British golfers to

our ranks and carried away one OF
our coveted stiles when he won the
national open championship from the
classiest field of players who ever
entered an open tourney on this side
of the Atlantic. With Ray came the
great Harry Vardon who was the
runner-up for. the open title. The
wonderful playing of these two Brit
ons resulted in the final round for
the title being fought out between
Englishmen, while our best talent
stood by and looked on.

THE CHIEF OBJECTION.

The chief objection raised to the
agreement by the minor leagues thus
far after studying the plan, is that
the smaller baseball organizations
are given no voice in the selection
of the supreme court of baseball, to
which they would be obliged to bow
in case they ratified the agreement
that Mas been proposed.
Another objection that has been
raised is that the agreement is not
what many OF the minor leaguers fig
ure as the proper instrument to pro-
mote close affiliation and working
agreement between the majors and
minors. 1t has been the wish of
many minor league magnates to have
an agreement whereby baseball
would be operated from central
government.
1t will be noticeable in the pro-
posed agreement that is attached be-
low that no provision has been made
for drafting. 1t is understood that
this will be taken care of in another
agreement to be drawn Zip later after
the present one has been ratified

that the opposition will not fare any
too well"
