BOBBY ROTH MOST
 TRADED PLAYER IN THE BIG LEAGUES
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

Bob Roth, tue Yankee outfielder, now can lay claim to being tho most traded
 athlete in active harness.
 i've been tn the roster of six Aiieri- can league clubs up to the present time and if my health holds out, l guess [ will make tho whole circuit within am other year or two" grins Roth. Roth broke into the game with Racine Wis, back in 1911, and the very next season established something of "traV- cling around" record. He started the sea son with Kansas City, was farmed out 70 St Joe, taken back few weeks later by Kansas City and then was let up to Springfield-all in a single season.
 The next year l was with the North ern league for a spell and then Kansas Clty took me back again. explains Roth. T was with Kansas City until the scout for the White Sox gave me the eagle eye and decided 1 was worth chance in the majors. Kansas City sold me for SS,O0) and shortly afterward l put on a Whpe
 Sox uniform.
 SENT TO CLEVELAND
 When the White Sox and the Indians entered into :he Joe Jackson deal >ir l9lo was shipped along. to Cleveland. That
 made the ninth change of clubs for mo Lin less than five years. l figured at that rate that I'd last about three months in Cleveland But those birds fooled me.
 Kept me through the balance of 1915, 1916, 1917 and 19lS-that's what they did
 before they discovered who I was. As soon as they did, they shipped me away 'I landed in Philadelphia as the result of an Indian-Athletic deal, but hardly got measured for a Philadelphia uniform be- fore l was chased along to Boston as some part of deal for Jack Barry. Boston kept me a little while ana then I was given ticket for Washing ton. And now I'm with the Yankees.
 Maybe I'll stick around while in New York-and maybe I won't Never can | tell about me This trading jinX seems l to have gotten me in his clutches, and what club I'll find myself with when
 wake up.
 "If I've got to be traded again, l hope 1 1t is to St. Louis or Detroit, so I'll have the distinction of having played with 1 every team in the circuit"
 ALWAYS RANKED HIGH Roth has always ranked, despite the 1 fact that he is baseballs most traded player as a mighty valuable asset. His | hittings average around .2S5, he is fairly l fast afoot and more than average good | as an outfielder. Where Roth shines with extreme brilliance is the fact that he is of the, ,slugging type and that when | he 'crashed the apple" the ball whistles along to remote spots.
 Roth gives us just little more slug ging strength than we had before the deal for him was made-and sluggers are what we want" comments Miller

FREDDIE BOORDE SAYS
 HE HAD HARDEST FIGHT

l Freddie Boorde, who licked Fear less Ferns in Atlanta Monday night returned home yesterday, bringing with
 him tales of what he claims was the hardest fisht he ever went through
 That Ferns chap is certainly a game rooster" Boorde said. Time and time again I would hit him with all I had 1 but each time Fearless would come back for more.
 Ferns forced me to the very limit i to win. He is one of the hardest
 punchers I have ever gone up against
 His gloves soon began to tap me above under and around the eyes, and it was only with the greatest difficult that l was able to defend them. Had he closed , an eye, he would surely have won, for 1 he was after me, nip and tuck. "I chopped Ferns face something fierce. Once I hit him the jaw ms hard as | ever hit any man. How he remained up is more than I can understand. When the judges gave that old decision in my favor, you can just bet I was happy boy, although Tommy. my seconds and myself all thought that I had it coming to me-"
 Tommy Tompkins, in telling of the battle, says that Freddie's spirit and grit won, the fight for him as much as anything. When the two arrived in At lanta- they realized that Walk Miller had run them up against tough bird and that Boorde would have to do his best to win. Ferns weighed in at 14O pounds. they said, while Boorde tipped the beam at 130.
 Tompkins and Boorde will always be- lieve that Walk Miller pulled Monday nights fight entertainment merely as an excuse to "get Freddie" We fooled him. though" chuckled that old reprobate, Tommy Tompkins and it seems as if they did. If what Tommy and Freddie say is true, that makes two Dixie scraw
 moEuls the trail of Freddie BOordc. Guy Roux. Donxa's man. aEer, readily admits that he's out to get Freddie beaten up. He does
 it in friendly way, though. Now

Changes In Control
 of Golf Expected
 From VEGAS Action

] Chicago. January Rehabilitation of
 the rules of golf and other changes in the control of the game m America are
 expected to result from the threat of
 expansion by the Western Golf associa- ton and the decision to wi-ho1d action, according to details made public today
 by A. R. Gates of Chicago. vice presi- dent. and James B. Nugent of Kansas City, director of the Western associa- 1 ton. who were members of the commit- tee that went 10 New York and arr ranged an armistice with She United States Golf association.
 Details of the threatened war for su- preacy in American golf, given ou5 after after the annual meeting last week of 1 the Western Golf association, showed that plans were on foot for committees of Scotch and English golfers to come 10 America this summer to revise the code of golf to satisfy Americans without changing the fundamentals of the game. A DISAPPOINTMENT
 ] In the conference with the officers of the United States Golf association.
 the latter expressed disappointment at the slight changes obtained by the ] American committee that visited St. An | drews last summer It was thought an entering wedge had made it likely that further conferences would bring about
 an entire rewriting of the rules, so that 1 players would not have to search 1 through the entire code to find all the restrictions and penalties attaching to some one phase of play as at present. l It also transpired that officers of the l United States Golf association had promised to try to effect any reason able change to avoid the threatened ex-
 pansion of the Western association, agreeing to make all it's allied members. 300 without votes, active members, to-
 gether with some 150 clubs now in the
 class, provided that 90 per cent of the
 allied clubs voted to become active members. The United States Golf as-
 sociation also increased it's directors l from nine to thirteen to include more i western men.

 it's avoidances. MT. Gates said that pre- vfous efforts to gain concessions from 1 the United States Golf association had
 proved futile. Then the directors of
 the Western association decided to sub

 intend to publish the fact before the Lannual meeting.

 < 9The next morning after the Asso- lciated Press had sent out the news
 without a summary of the new consti-
 tution according to Mir. Gates, officers
 of the United States Golf association
 called leaders of the Weste assoca- l tion by telephone and requested a con l ference. The westerners went to New l York and overtures for peace were 1 made with such good will and concilia- l tion that the western golfers decided it
