Golf Clubs Differ in
Way of Doing Things
Sectional Differences Are Not Confined to the Changes
or the interpretations of the Rules of
Play on the Link.
ny JOHN G.. ANDERSON.

Sectional golf differences are not con-
fined to the changes or the interpreted
tons of the rules of play. There are
distinct methods for New York. Chi
cago and Southern districts. each with
an appeal to the golfers of the various
localities. In time as the best of the
features become known they will be-
come nationalized and the game will
take another step forward.
1t is well known. of course, that the
Western clubs. especially those in the
Chicago district, have devoted time and
money for the specialization of the boy
who carries the clubs around the links.
that the efforts thus expended actually
seem to be duly appreciated. and real
interested person may be the outcome.
In addition efforts have been successful
on several railroads entering Chicago
to secure for boy a reduced rate
which will enable him to travel twenty
or more miles and back at a very little
expense. In fact. for the last few years
the rate having been made during war
.times when the Government was in
control of the railroads, it has been
possible for a regularly appointed caddy
to travel from just on the outskirts of
the city proper fifteen or twenty miles
to Flossmoor. Homewood. Ravisloe.
olympia Fields and other well known
links for six or seven cents when the
regular fare is five times that amount
or more. 1t is a good thing for the
players and better for the boys.
There are golf committee rules at
most Eastern clubs forbidding the play
at one time of more than four golfers,
a rather wise provision. In many West
ern and Southern cities the swatfest is
one of the enjoyable methods of play
after the regular golf is done. Two
Eastern clubs had number of members
who on last Independence Day around
4 in the afternoon wanted to have a
go at this style of play. They started
off. nine of them, and were promptly
informed by a messenger that they
were violating one of the rules of the
course and would have to desist. They
laughed at the messenger. said that
they were in no ones way and that
they would let any golfers who asked
go through. The matter was taken to
the governors at their next meeting. and
they argued back and forth for two
hours and no decision was reached as
to the advisability OF suspending the
members for couple of weeks or so.
Size of Groups Limited.
In no other section than the East
would any stop be made of group of
golfers enjoying themselves If the said
number was not interfering with the
play of others. What harm is there In
Ave or six playing around together OF
a morning when there are no others
on the links, or IL so are widely sep
arated? Yet we know of an Eastern
club which absolutely prohibits at any
time-no exceptions-any play with
over four members in the party. They
are more lenient, with no bad results,
out West and down South.
The matter of luncheons Is worthy OF
note. In the East at the big majority
of clubs there seems TO be need or n
waiter for every two or thrae. and

INTERNATIONAL CUE
TOURNAMENT SOON
Association Preparing to Re-
UiUe Event.

Preparations for the revival Of the
international championship tournament
have been in progress under the direction
of the National Association of Amateur
Billiard Players for more than a year.
This important classic of the carom
game of necessity was discontinued dur
ing the period of the war.
At the time OF arranging the cham
pionships last season officials of the Ma
tional Association communicated with
the French Federation as to the posi-
bility OF several OF the European ANA
tours visiting this country to compete
in reestabllshment Of the competitions
for the international title and trophy
The answer came back from Paris that
the amateurs had not recovered suffi-
GENTLY from the war conditions TO I'M
dertakc such task and that the inter-
national championship should be deferred
for another year or more After that
lapse of time. the French officials de-
clared. Il was likely that entries OF play
ers OF sufficient skill could be made
Having undertaken the work OF having
billiards included In the Olympic pro-
gramme in 1924 the National Association
of Amateur Billiard Players Is eager
again to stage the international cham
pionships at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Henry G. Lapham, president Of
the Boston Athletic Association Arthur
r. Hyman, chairman OF the executive
committee. and others are particularly
interested in the visit to this country
OF Edward Horemans. the Belgian pro-
fessional. who arrived last week They
are planning to enlist the aid OF
Horcmans In securing competitors from
the other side o. tho Atlantic. His
familiarity with the leading wielders or
the cue abroad Is expected TO make IL
possible for tho National Association
to name specifically several of the men
eligible to the French Federation and
thus hasten the matter OF decision.
IL IL the hope OF the amateurs that
Horemans may be In a position 10 name
men who can come this season. The
Belgian will be invited TO hold con-
ference with the executive committee 80

long bill of fare which makes a golfer
think he Is in a first class hotel rather
than at club where manly exercise Is
the goal. At most OF the Southern. at
most of the Western and at a very few
of the Eastern links the food is laid
out for inspection and a golfer serves
himself. North Shore and the Merton
Cricket Club are two notable examples
in the East where such method has
been acclaimed as highly successful,
while In the West they want no other
system.
It Is not alone that fewer walters
are needed There IS a more demo-
cratic feeling which comes from the rub
bling elbows at the selection table, sit
ting down with no especial group, UNI
less one has a guest, and having served
fewer but more appetizing dishes. Lack
of space prevents this system at some
clubs. but it is easily the best and
nearer in line with the free and cordial
spirit accentuated by the game.
Free Play for stars.
The West is much freer in the prof
fer of its courses to the best players
of the community. Early in the season
the dozen or fifteen best players in the
Chicago district are sent cards by many
ilege of playing over the course at any
time during the year. 1t is thus posi-
BILE for four crack golfers to choose
what links they wish to play over the
various Saturdays or week days, and as
a result those members who wish 10
see good golf are often enough able TO
satisfy their liking. In no single IN
stance has the favor been taken advan-
tage of and the pleasure OF the mem
bers has been increased. 1t seems 10
us as IL such scheme might well De
followed in the other sections where
golf flourishes.
THE interest in the high class play OF
golf comes entirely from the perform
ances of the best players, for golf With
ont a championship would seem just
hit drab. We know of many a club In
this section which would welcome
single or a pair of golf stars playing
over their course on some week day or
holiday and it Is only by applying the
methods of the Chicago system that such
advantages to everyone can accrue.
In addition we know of half dozen
newspaper and magazine writer's on soI
In the West particularly who are pre-
sented with cards at the beginning OF
the season emitting them to the club
house privileges and the golf links priv
ileges with no fee attached as in the
case of the crack golfers. 1t may have
been a bid for little free advertising
at first, but that stage has long since
passed. One golf writer out West had
given to him this last season no fewer
than sixty-six cards emitting him to
play without charge at ony one OF the
sixty-six links on any day OF the year.
It is very fine way Of expressing ap-
probation which never yet has been
abused. The number on an eligible list
never runs high. while no such recipient
of a favor but journeys from course to
course after new ideas or news with
never links being overrun at any ume
by the same golfers.

DEIBEL SUCCUMBS
TO WELLS BY 5 AND 3
Oakmont Veteran Plays Fine
Golf for Presidents Trophy
at Pinehurst.

Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
PINEHURsT. y. c.. Nov. 27.-The I'M
certainties of tournament golf, empha-
sized by the sensational defeat of Tom
Armour at the hands of Chris Debel of
Youngstown in yesterdays semi-final
round in the autumn tournament at
Pinehurst. were further illustrated to-
day when Deibel in turn was badly
beaten by w. e. Wells. the Oalsmont
veteran, in the final contest for the
presidents trophy. Wells won by up
and to play.
Possibly Deibel had not fully recov-
cred from the shock of winning his
match against Armour yesterday. At
any rate, and especially so far as his
short game was concerned he did not
play up TO his usual form by any means
He had an individual card of ~ in the
final round of the amateur professional
tournament on Monday and he went
around in 3S. 39-77 in his game with
Armour yesterday. But he took 45 to
reach the turn in to-day's match and was
down at that stage OF the proceedings
Wells, on the other hand. kept up tn,
steady gait that had carried him through
to victory by wide margin Ia all OF his
preceding matches in the tournament
and his approaching and putting We're
even better than usual. He won FIVE
holes on the way out and two more
coming in and permitted his opponent
to win only two holes In the course Of
the round. The Oakmont golfer was
up at the tenth hole and, although
Deibel held him for the next four holes,
Wells finally took the match by up
when he sank his putt for winning
on the fifteenth green. Mr.. Wells Is 81
years Of age and did not take UP golf
until he was in the '40s.
r. r. Sharman OF Youngstown won
the prize in the consolation section Of
the first division. The governors trophy,
to the winner of the second sixteen,
went to r. II. Hunt Of Worcester who
played against Harold f. Porter, better
known as Holworthy Hall, and won by
the comfortable margin of 7 and 8. The

ROWING CONFLICTS
TO BE AVOIDED
Delegates of Colleges Work
ing Together on Schedule
of Regattas.

With the object of avoiding in the
future all possible cont let of dates,
representatives of leading colleges in
the East have held several conferences
of late that probably will solve the
confusion of rowing regalttas of the
last few seasons. Rowing officials have
come to a realization of the folly of
having each college map out its own
rowing schedule without taking any
other college regatta evealts into con-.
sideration. As result there has been
a '.get together" spirit thia year and II
is certain that the schedule of events
that finally will be ANNOUNCED will have
the stamp Of approval of all the rowing
universities in this section, of the coun-
try.
The necessity for such step was
made apparent last spring in the Childs
Cup and American Henley races, when.
owing to conflict of dates. IL was not
definitely known until JUST before the
races just which crews could be ex-
pected to start. Officials In charge Of
those events approached t.ile graduate
and undergraduate managers and
coaches on the subject and it was
through their efforts that the present
movement for concerted planning OF
rowing dates was begun.
In the conferences that have been
held Cornell, Yale, Harvard, Princeton
Columbia and Penn have had delegates
on hand. and it is understood that
tentative schedule of dual ard open re-
gattas has been drawn up in which all
conflicts are avoided. Before the dele
gates finish their work complete crew
schedules for the next three years may
be adopted. fixing not only dates. but
the courses over which the events are
to be rowed.

No. z. Mali; No. 6. Martin; No. s.,
Bulkeley; No 4. McHenry No. 3. Buck
ingham No. 2. Jackson !; bow. Chetlein !;

New HAVEN. Conn, Nov 27.-With
the departure of Guy Nickalls yesterday
for England, rowing at Yale came to an
abrupt halt. The coach on Thursday
gave the crews under his supervision
some final words of advice as they gath
cred around him in the George Il. Adee
boathouse and then left New Haven. He
will return in time to coach the two var
sity crews for their race with the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania eights on the
Housatonic River on April 16 of next
year. There will be some light work In
the gymnasium during the winter months
and as soon as the ice breaks up, II
there is any. the crews will get out OF
doors and will start the usual intensive
training in the hope of squaring accounts
with Harvard.
Yale's water career last season was
not a highly successful one. The same
can be said of the seasons for the base
ball, football and track teams, and now
that the long winter lay off is at hand
the athletic heads at the university in
