Old timers will recall Walter Wilmot
as one Of the greatest felders of his
day. While not Ty Cobb with the
stick, Walter could cut up on the bases,
was great fielder. and one of those
fellows always playing the game to the

was taking the baths at the resort, and

During u tanning bee one evening last

good story in which he figured as the
goat. The discussion centered around
Cobb and his ability to retain his great
speed, which despite fourteen years of
play does not seem to have diminished
much. Now, Wilmot was fast in his
day. Also Walter had a great habit of
telling the umpircs when he believed
they We're wrong. Some one asked Wal

might throw some light on the Cobb

Along with all the other improve
ments came a decided change in the
manner Of playing the game, The
great resiliency and general liveliness
of the new ball demanded different
stroke. The old-fashioned bunkers
caught the fashioned ball and
confusion prevailed for a time. VAR
don, the master of the approach shot
objected to the new. ball because it
could not be placed with the exact
ness Of the old. The golf world began
/ to study the game with seriousness
never known before. and the modern
| players rapidly developed new ideas
| The upright swing came into vogue
! and the finger grip was a necessity
for the new ball put a premium on
delicacy..of touch. Scores began to
improve. Time was when our best
players played our best courses in

/ The gutta ball was bit before my
! time. They were using. it, of course
when ] began to caddie at the age OF
seven or eight years, and remember

treasures. The rubber-core, however
was the ball used when first began
to play, but I inherited the old gutta
method Of playing. gradually, out
growing it as the new methods came
in. This entailed considerable loss
of time, and the boys who Learned

TO ASSIGN DATES
FOR ROWING SOON
Oarsmen's Associations Will
Confer on Collegiate and
Amateur Events.

NEW YORK. January 2l.-Colle-
giate and amateur rowing dates for
the coming season will be assigned
at conferences of oarsmens associa-
tions to be held here within the next
few weeks, II was learned today. Ow-
ing to the possibility of considerable
International competition this sum-
mer the arrangement of the customary
regattaS is one of unusual difficulty.
1t appears probably at present that
the United States will be represented
at both the English Henley and the
Olympic rowing champion.
With these foreign invasions in
view local regatta dates must be
scheduled to conform with the Euro
pean events as far as possible. This
is the task that confronts the Off
GERS of the various rowing bodies. in
GLIDING the Intercollegiate Rowing
Associa ton and the American Rowing
Association, which meet here next
week. The same problem will be
considered at the meeting of the Ma
tionai Association of Amateur Oars
men, which holds its annual confer
cnce later.
Olympic Eyents Magnet.
While it is realized that MORE of
the varsity Fights of the eastern COL
leges can compete at the English
Henley owing to the proximity of that
event and the championship regattas
of the university crews. the Olympic
events are a magnet that Is already
proving strong attraction for the
oarsmen. Several college rowing au-
thorities have expressed willingness
to permit their crews to CONTINUE
training after the final intervarsity
races il the American Olympic COM
mittee will lend assistance in financ
ing the trip to Belgium.
What action will be taken on this
point cannot be forecast, but the ma
jority of regatta dates are being fixed
with such contingency in mind. The
following tentative dates, most of
which have been officially assigned,

Golf-OId and New.

Even the, present day golfer looking
back over the short space Of years since
golf became popular in this country is
astoundcd at the changes. 1t is posi-
BILE that he can recall how hard it was
to fill up the membership Of one club.
and he can contrast that spare condi-
ton with these plethoric days when
almost every club-and the ratio is nfty
to one of the old days-has big walt

at st: Andrews a glass case where the
strangest implements Of the game were
exhibited. queer clubs and. balls, some
Of the latter being the old feather-fiiied
ones. OF course; there has not peen
that great change in this country Ior
when the game was brought here the
general character Of clubs and bails mac
been pretty well determined, many OF
them being made by. machinery.
The greatest change in this country
came about when the rubber-cored odi,

one. That substitution really cnanse1
the nature of the whole game. Goit
strokes had to be almost tmmediateiy
