GOLF RULE MEN SAIL
IN MAY FOR MEETING
President " aker Heads american Committee to Confer
With St. Andre,cs Stymie, Lost Ball and
Other Links Questions
BY SANDY McNIBLICK

T OOkS as if the most important part
- of the American golf population
would be sailing for foreign climes in
the merry month of May next.
Now comes the announcement of the
sailing in May of the American COM
mittee, which is to confer with that of
st. Andrews on the golf rules.
Walter Hagen, open champion, and
Jim Barnes, professional champion,
have picked the same month to make
their voyage abroad to compete in the
championships over there and Il retinue
of other ambitious pros is also said to
be figuring on the same month for
export duty.
This month has been picked as the
date for the womcns championship of
Great Britain. and that means that
Miss AleXa Stirling will likely be tax
ing passage on one of the same boats.
There is also a lot of undcrcurrent
rumors to the effect that a number of
our most prominent amateurs will go
boating LiYerpoOlward in the spring
which will leave this country rather
fiat for star players in the early season.
Coming Back Though
But the tide will flow again in July
when all boats will be bringing the golf
luminaries' back. \ sextet of Britain 5
starriest pros is coming then and the
Americans will also be returning for
plav in our own championships.
The committee named this week to
confer on the rules from this country
is: George L. Wake, president Y. s.
G. A.; Vice presidents j. Frederick
Byers and Howard +. Whitney; eX-
president Frederick C. Wheeler, and
eX president Frank Woodward. as al
tentative.
There is general belief that the
Americans will make stand for the
stymie, as these officials have so far un :
officially expressed themselves in favor
of it.
1t is hard to make any predictions on
the standard ball matter, which can
best be slttended to, it is felt, when
all the evidence of the two committees Is
present 1. The same applies to the
lost-ball question and the decision on
the amateur rules.
These things, however, will be
! threshed out on the other side and
local golfers, in the meantime, are again
demanding something in the way OF
arrangements for amateur pro matches
for the coming season.
The announcement that New Yorl
will stage a tourney for amateurs and
pros has participated new impetus into
the discussion as to the possibilities
of the same here in Philadelphia.
1t is the plan iH New York for the
various pros to each pick an amateur
partner, collect entry fees, and play
for II purse and trophy at match play
1t is proposed to hold the variou,
rounds on successive Saturdays at diff
fercnt clubs. There will likely be {
qualifying round and probably sixteer
couples to qualify. The match play vii

u. S. WILL NOTION
TENNIS LEAGUE YET
Great Britain's Demands
Too Much for america;
Want Tourney at Winl-
bledon PerpetualIy
NEGOTIATIONS ARE ON
BY SPICK HALL


MANY tennis players and followers
A'I have wondered why America has
not Joined the International Lawn Ten
MS Federation. Another point is, will
America join in the near future?
The answer to the last question is
NJ; that is, under the present condi-
tlons. The reasons for the negative in
both cases are the same. At the recent
meeting of the ID. :. l.. T. A. in New
York, Watson NJ. Washburn explained
fully why, in his opinion, this country
should not affiliate with the federation;
and after his remarks there was not a
person present who would have voted
TO Join as matters now stand.
In short, the reason is that Great
Britain virtually has made a British
enterprise out of the federation. All
that our well known island cousins
have in the federation now and want
to retain is plurality of votes in the
federation the right to have the win
nor of the annual tournament of the
federation bear the title of worlds
champion; to stage this tournament at
wimbledon every year. If they can
have these things. the British, with in
nate modesty, told Mr.. Washburn that
they would be glad to have America
join the fold.
Counter Proposals
Naturally, no American is going to
agree to any such autocratic scheme as
this. and Washburn told the federation
SO IN plain words and figures. Since
coming back from France and England, ;,
where he and r. n. Williams had
number of conferences with the federal
heads, Washburn has had considerable
correspondence with them.
Among other things, Washburn sug-
gested that the u. S. L. L. A. prob
ably would consider joining the fed
GRAFTON if the tournament was rotated.
Apparently the British could not think
of this infringement on their rights.
Another alternative was that America
might join if the title of the tourna-
ment winner was changed to something
other than worlds champion"
Big Advantage
While Great Britain would find it
no easy matter to win the title if Aus
tralia, America and all the other coun-
tries in the federation sent their best
players to Wimbledon, still they would
have big advantage by having the
meeting in their own country perpetu-
ally. Their advantage would be not
only from the fact of playing at home,
but it is hardly conceivable that all the
countries could send their best players
each year. This would mean that times
would occur when British PLAYER
would win the worlds title without
competing against the talent.
This occurred last summer, when
Gerald Patterson won the so o-called
worlds championship, taking the finals
from his Australian teammate. Norman
Il. Brookes. Both the ''champion" and

Trade Association Honors For

lightfuI Banquet
GEORGE M. GRAHAM THERE

The Philadelphia Automobile Trade
Association held a reunion dinner at
the Bellevue Stratford Hotel last eve
min, entertaining former Philadelphia
automobile men and others who have
risen to positions of distinction in the
industry or trade associations. In ad-
dition to the guests there were 153 par
ticipants at the banquet, which was
held in the Rose Room.
It had been the custom after each
automobile show to give dinner in
honor of the show committee, but owing
to war conditions these functions have
been omitted for two years. This year
il was decided to feature the occasion
as reunion of former Philadelphians
from all parts of the country, check
ing of old membership lists showing
that over fifty men had gone out to
other cities in every section, many of
them OCCUPYING prominent executive po-
sitions in leading automobile concerns
in various capacities. 49,.

Saturday Night

Plant trouble at the PHILADELPHIA
Auditorium and Ice Palace, at Forty
fifth and Market streets, makes it
necessary for the management to call
off the opening tonight. The rink will,
therefore, open on Saturday night with

The new rink has an ice surface of
220 by 100 feet. 1t has been in con-
struction since November 3.
George +. Pawling, the former presi-
dent of the auditorium, and DR.. George

Besides skating for the veteran ice
performers. instruction classes will be
held. Charles X. DeBergen is the in
structor.
Hockey matches have been scheduled
with the large eastern colleges.
The dates for the intercollegiate
matches follow:

runner-up were beaten in America in
singles, fairly good answer to the
query when is champion not a
champion?"
Another Obstacle
Another stumbling block in the way
of universal activity by the federation
is the Davis Cup. 1t would be impossi-
BILE for the majority of players to take
part in both the worlds champion
ships and Davis Cup matches unless
they were played at the same place, one
following the other.
This suggestion was made by Wash
burn, and the British are considering
it now, and it is possible that at the
next meeting of the federation some
legislation will be enacted that will per
nit it to join with the countries en-
rolled in the federation.
/ All countries are eligible except the
nations that were lined up against the
Entente powers in the war.

week the second week in June, accord
ing to the announcement made this
morning after a meeting of the super
viSory committee.
The first day of the track week will
be devoted to a meet for the freshmen
of the various schools. and on follow

seniors will compete. On Saturday of
the week the winners of the class con-
tests will battle. The points won will

Phil Lewis, the Germantown director,
who will leave the suburban institution

then be four rounds or four weeks in the
going.
Pros in Philadelphia would welcome
such chance and there has long been
demand for something of the sort that
is proposed for New York, and has
Neen played in Boston and other dis
tricts.
The pros here also favor amateur VS..
pro matches. The six some at Phil
mont almost in the winter of last sea-

pants who are anxious and willing to
stage some more of the same in the new
season.
