CONSIDER CHANGE
 IN GOLF RULES

h London, .,June 21--Alteration of certain sru1esaof golf has been con- sidered at meeting of a committee of Anglo-American golfers, according to -- the Times. Standardization of balls also was discussed.
 It was decided to recommend to the Royal and Ancient Club of Stan drews and the United States Golf As sociation that no change be made in the rule as to stymies, but that the Royal and Ancient Club be instructed to write the United States Golf As sociation that it's ruling regarding stymies had been found suitable.
 Recommendations were made to unify penalties for lost balls, balls out of bounds. and unplayable balls. The penalty for the first and last should De stroke and distance" but in the case of a ball out of bounds permission should be given clubs to govern the penalty by local rules, 1t was decided.
 It was recommended that the ball should not weigh more than 1.62 ounces and should not be less than 1.62 inches in diameter. The Royal and Ancient Club and the Unite1 ] States Golf Association will be in vited to take whatever steps they think necessary to limit the power of ball with regard to distance. The committee stipulated that should any ball of greater power be introduced the maximum weight might be de- creased but should not be increase sed. The new ball recommended is equivalent to the 30 pennyweight ball at present on the market.

NEW YORK GIANTS
 BENCH LARRY DOYLE

When the Giants took the field yes terday they presented a reorsaniZed and recast batting order. Frank Fr;sch once more started at third base and he continued until the sew enth inning. In that round Lear took his place. Frisch came back in rather unusual place in the battins order, for he was put fourth---in the cleanup position.
 Larry Doyle was benched and it looks very much as if he has played
 his last game for the Giants as reg ular Doyle was taken out in favor of Sicking. who played second with greater credit than he earned at third Sicking also got 1nit---a rather rare thing for him since the Giants came back to Harlem. Sicking is likely to give way in a few~days to Ernie John son, once Of the Browns, but now manager and second sacker of the Salt Lake City club of the Pacific Coast League and leading hitter of that circuit.

PRELIMINARY BOUTS
 FOR OLYMPIC TEAM

New York. June 21-Preliminary boxing tryouts> for places the American Olympic team have been arranged to take place in different parts of the United States during the last week of this month and the first week of July. The final tryout bouts, on the results of which the Selection Committee will choose the American representatives, will be held at New York on Monday, July 12, and Tues day, July1 3.
 The American Olympic Committee has made public the rules under which these tryouts will be fought and decided and they also will govern the interna tionaI contests for Olym- pic honors at Antwerp, Belgium. In many respects they resemble the Amateur Athletic Union rules gov erning this sport which have been in vogue in this country for several years past.
 The A. A. U. permitted rings to measure from f6 to 24 feet square but the Olympic standard is 16 feet no more no less. in the lighter classes there is a difference of few , pounds Olympic being a bit heavier than the regular scale and they will De as folloWS: 112, l1S, l2b, 135, 14f, 16O, 175 pounds and over. There will be two three minute rounds and one of four minutes and an additional round eff necessary of two minutes l duration. Should the judges and referee still disagree final additional round of two minutes shall be or | dered. The judges and referee shall | write their decisions individually and l simultaneously, which is anoth CT | slight change from the usual method | here in amateur bouts.

JOHNNY WILSON
 TO BOX HATFIELD

Dave Mackay will complete ar- engagements today calling for meet ing of Wilson and Soldier Garfield at the Newark Spcrtmen's club on the night of July 1.
 Wilson won the middlewieght title in Boston recently when he got a IT, round decision over Mike O'Dowd, the title holder. since the dsfeat of the hapless A. Mccoy.
 The bout between Wilson and Bart field is to be an eight-round affair. This decision was arrived at when Mackay made efforts to bring Gene Tunney and Marty Burke. the New Orleans "stringbean together for a bout of the same duration. Burke according to his Eastern representa- tive. John Cox, cannot box TunneJ on July 1.
 "It would be impossible to accom- modate Mackay," said Cox last night, f.as Burke is scheduled to box Willie Meehan in New Orleans on July D. You see, it would be asking too much of the boy to bring him here for Tunney and then rush him off to meet a good man Hike Meehan four days later.
 "If Mackay could arrange his show for June 2S then the 'stringbean would be ready to meet Tunney. Otherwise the time is too short
 Johnny Wilson is meeting a stout 'un in Bartfield The soldier has a great reputation to back him up. He is the only man who ever hoored Mike Gibbons. The middleweight championship has ever been his goal. On July 1 he will find only Johnny Wilson standing between himself and that object.

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER |PADDOCK'S SPRINTING

The athletic world is enthusiastic over the running of Charlie Paddock the California sprint marvel, who is reputed to have run 100 yards in the record breaking time of 2-5 sec onds. This is one-ffth of a second faster than the recognized record time made by Arthur Duffey, Drew and Kelly. The only | reason why Charlie isn't credited with a record is that one of the five timers timed him at g 4-5 seconds
 However, record or no record Charlie is certainly some sprinter and seems certain to win a place on the Olympic team. Europe will have to trot out some mighty fast cinder- path wizards if they hope to provide any kind of competition for Charlie in the sprints.

Banks of Yale, the New England champion, 6-1 6-2, 6-1. It was a we'll played match and was closer than the score would indicate. The hard driving and deadly placing of the Japanese told in each of the three sets, however, and de- Sc,ite some bra1iiant7 net work on the part of the Yale star the latter was able to get only four games ip tile three sets.

 SACKER SUSPENDED

Jack -Kost. first -baseman for the Brasscos for the past two weeks, has been suspended by President Dan O'Neil of the Eastern league, Jbeca use he is under contract with the Win ston- Salem team of the Piedmont league. Kost it is understood, was sold by Rochester to the Winston-Sa- lem club and refused to report When negotia tions were opened for his ser vices by the Waterbury club. he was repr esent ted-to the management as. 8 free agent and was signed with that understa nding.
 Carl Williams, the big pitcher, will go back on first base until another first baseman is secured.
 Kost's suspension will not affect the Brasscos to any extent. He has shown a weakness at the bat and isn't on to all the tricks a first baseman n should know, being especially weak on stop ping low throws.

EVEN PHILADELPHIA
 LIKES BOXING GAME

Anyone who doubts the popularity of boxing need only note the gate receipts at the various bouts which have been staged in different parts of the country recently. Even Philadelphia, that city of gentle words and quiet amusements, has be- come, rip-roaring boxing mad Since some iniquitous sons of the devil permitted eight round boxing bouts, instead of six-round affairs, the Quaker City fans have gone wild over the sport. Recently two boxing g shows pulled a total receipt of the long green estimated at S6S,000.
 Oh, wicked city of Philadelphia Thou hadst better watch steppeth, else thou wilt be forever doomed to the eternal hel1-fires, even as is New York, Chicago and the. other cities of worldliness

CARPENTER CHIEF
 BOXING ATTRACTION

Now that Jack Dempsey is mad on' Georges Carpenter, who will mad d Jack select for an opponent who is one-tenth the a attra ction? It is all right to throw brick bats at the gal lant Georges, but then he has to do all of Georges Carpenters fighting, and as Georges Carpenter, it is his right to name his own time and Place. It is Imaginable for Dempsey or Kearns to scratch him off their visiting list. Car pentier is greater attraction than the champion himself,a anl that is just about breaking all precedent.

CONCEDE HORNSBY

Everybody seems to be willing to pay Branch Hickey a young fortune for his prize walloper, Rogers Horns by, if we are to believe the many rumors floating around in the base ball world. However, fortunes or no fortunes, Branch announces in no uncertain terms that Rogers is not on the market. Manager Hickey says that the St. Louis Nationals are ou. to win a pennant. and Rogers is one boy whom Branch figures on help ing materially in this aim.
 Rogers Hornsby is unquestionab1y one of the biggest individual stars in the National League today, and if would certainly take a fortune to re- eompense the St. Louis club for his loss. Branch has profted by the case of Babe Ruth
