But there is still a more funda-
mental law than all this-s matter
of equity.
And equity would mean that one
mistake means one lost stroke. The
player may get into a heelprinl in
bunker, where he needs two or
three strokes to emerge. But this
is merely a matter OF luck. He al
ways has the chance to emerge with
a loss OF only one stroke IL he can
play the shot. The charge against
him, under these conditions, is not
fixed. And no one can make any
rule that will stand out against the
luck of the game.
AS it is now, many golf courses
are awarding only one-stroke pen
atty to the out Of bounds This
creates confusion, for one rule
should govern every course as far
as possible; or, rather, one set of
rules should so govern.
AS for making the game too easy,
80 per cent of all concerned will
testify that there is still a sufficient
number of difficulties left to keep
the average player from breaking
so too often to develop monotony.

ALTROCK RETURNS
FROM COAST TRIP
Nick and Carl Sawyer Made
Big Hit With California
Fans.

Nick AItrock is back from the
Golden West.
The famous baseball comedian
blew into the Capital yesterday af-
ter a two-months' visit to the coast,
where he divided honors with Ty
Cobb in a series of exhibition
games.
Nick was paired with Carl Saw
yer, former National. in the comedy
stuff. while Ty gave the Native Sons
a few pointers on the art of batting
fielding and base running.
Nick doesn't say so himself, but
the California papers intim2te that
the form of Altrock and Sawyer
had quite an edge over the Georgia
Peach when it came to getting the
shekels at the box once.
In addition to playing in Frisco
and Los Angeles, Nick played to
capacity houses in nearly all of the
California cities in that section,
San Diego, San Jose, Fresno, Ma
rysville, Stockton and Sacramento
being among them.
Those California people are fine
folks" he declared, and when we
left were talking about having us
back again next season"
Mrs. Altrock accompanied Nick
on his western trip.

CHICAGO. Jan. 8.-The much
abused dove Of peace hovered over
the baseball situation tonight in
trepidatiOn.
On the verge Of a momentous.con-
ference Of the leading baseball
magnates from all parts Of the
country, the little fellows in or
ganized baseball-the minor league
maguates-are seething with rebel
lion against the big league mag
mates and the owners Of clubs in
the big three" minor leagues.
The row Is expected to be start
ed Monday when the minors confer
to discuss adoption Of an agree
ment which would allow major
league clubs to draft from the min
ors at an Increased price.
The big three" in the minors
the Pacific Coast and International
Leagues and the American Associa-
tiOn-are amenable to making an
agreement. But they also want to
establish an agreement with leagues
Of lower rating.
They are expected to seek adop-
tion of an agreement which would
give them the privilege of drafting
from Glass A. B and c leagues.
First opposition to the agreement
which will be offered, by the major
leaguers next week came today
from George H. Maines, of the
hichigan-Ohio League. Maines did
not go into details, but he let it be
known that he would Join in a two
listed fight against any agreement
drawn by a major league attorney.
That the fight over the draft
might be dropped was intimated by
Ban Johnson tonight.
Johnson said the Importance Of
the draft has been greatly exag-
gerated.
He declared the establishment of
new rules was Of considerable i'm
pOrtance. and stated ample provi-
sion should be taken to see that
young baIIplayers are given oppor-
tunity to advance in their profes-
sion at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Very few club owners put in ap-
pearance today.
Ban Johnson with viii Harridge,
his secretary, took up with Presi-
dent John Heydler Of the National
League, and Barney Dreyfus, of the
Pittsburgh Pirates, plans for ar
ranging the 1921 baseball schedule
A tentative schedule was worked
out, according to Heydler, and will
probably be perfected tomorrow.
Both johnson and Heydler scoffed
at the suggestion that next weeks
meeting may start another war in
baseball.
Federal Judge K. NJ. Lands, base
balls supreme arbiter, they believe,
has the confidence of all baseball
owners and they feel that when it
comes to a show down lands will
be able to bring all warning fac
tions into camp.
Many Of the magnates are ex-
peCted to arrive tomorrow.

Nick" Is Appreciated d
Abroad-Why Not Here :?

Nick Altrock, the Washington
Baseball Clubs "Dr. Jekyl and Mr..
HYDE" has always been popuIar
around the American League cir
cult. In fact he has been more ap-
preciated in other cities than right
here in Washington, his home
town."
Why that is no one seems to know.
"out OF sight, out of mind seems
to apply to NIck's case so far as
local baseball fans are concerned.
They go to the park and see a ball
game. They see Nick pulling his
tight-rope walking stunt or his
shadow boxing and laugh til their
sides ache. Then it's game time.
Nick hunts the dugout. The game
begins and Nick is forgotten,
But in other cities it's different.
Nick is considered a big part of the
Washington Ball Club and without
him II Is admitted the Grfffs would
suffer a lot in drawing power.
Take Cleveland, for instance.
They laugh at Nick out there in the
Rag city and as proof of the fact
they come very near to loving him.
Read the following which appeared
in the Cleveland News-Leader.
Ed H. Jacobs, advertising man.
ager of the English woolen Mills
Company, wants to know what the
antithesis OF a world series is? He
asks the question in a letter to the
News and then proceeds to answer
it. Here's his line of reasoning and
thousands will agree with him:
Here's a little around-the-store
conundrum for you at a time when
the sport writers are trying to
keep busy in locating something to
print. Maybe you don't know what
"antithesis" means-I didn't until I
looked in the book. Picture to your
self the tenSeness, the excitement,
the absolute madness we all went
through last October while we were
introducing many guesses as you
please and what is your answer TO
the headline query above? But no
matter how many guesses you make
you'll be wrong, so l will give you
the answer without further ado
parley, waiting. or to wit: It's Nick
Altrock. Right?
How many of US take this old
clown at his real worth? How many
OF US have had a good laugh at any
Of the $40 Ziegfeld productions as
we have enjoyed every time Wash
ington came here and with a couple
Of hours of dandy ball thrown in for
good measure? How many of us
appraise this Altrock clown at his
true worth? Did you ever see old
Nick offend spectator or participant
with all his buffoonery? Did you
ever see more subtle comedy on any
stage? and bear in mind that the old
vet always works alone and that he
has nothing more than a bit OF sand.

a right manner by administering a
drubbing to the st. Johns College
quint of Annapolis last night in the
Brookland gym, score of said defeat
being 40 to Is. The visitors were
totally outclassed, the tally reading
q to at the end of the hrst stanza.
During this period the only points
registered by the Marylanders were
three from the foul line.
At the start of the second half
Coach Rice substituted Kelly and
Jackson for Dunn and Eberts, and
shortly later Gleason and Jackson
made way for Corwin and Gibbs.
During the first period the Red and
Black had things their own way,
Lynch and Mcnamara dividing the
honors, the former with three floor
and seven foul goals while McNa-
mara swished five baskets through
the hoop.
In the second half Porter, who
substituted for Hanson, made three
pretty floor goals and seemed to be
the only visitor who could pene-
trate the c. U. defense. "A crowd
of 500 turned out for the game.

That will keep you monkey shining
on forever and a day.
l trust at sale or auction we can
purchase some concoction
That will keep you pulling comics
in your copyrighted way.
And harken Mister Nich'las, though

But II Griff should ever tire of you
and send you on your way
Just pack your tight-rOpe, cap and
tricks and hop the seven

Or whate'er rattler il may be that
choo chOos out our way.
