Naval Academy lacrosse team, whicn n
finished its season Saturday by de-

GOLF BODY
REV1SES STYNIIE RULE

CHICAGO. May 16.-Dtrectors of
the Western Golf Association have
again revised the much-discusse ed
stymie rule and also reduced the pen
atty for lost ball and ball out of
bounds to loss OF distance only in
both cases.
In the old Scotch rules, the pen
atty for lost ball in match play was
loss OF the hole and In medal scoring
loss Of the distance and one stroke.
Under the same rules a ball driven
out Of bounds brought loss of dis
tance. An American committee sent
to Great Britain a year ago obtained
chance to make the penalty for
lost ball the same in stroke competi-
tions as II had been in match. but at
the same time the penalty for lost
ball was increased to loss of distance
and q stroke.
This was too severe in the opinion
Of many American players and the
Western today reduced the punish
ment to loss of distance only in all
cases.

handler.
Spider lured Toothpick into a soda

years and then gave him some les

A week later Spider had Toothpick
signed up with a big, black mauler
called the Congo Thunderbolt. The
latter was noted as terrific hitter.
but a hick boxer. Spider Kelly knew
this, but his charge was aware of
nothing except that he knew when
meals should be served. He was dead
from the neck up.
The night of the fight came, and
Spider with his man mountain en-
tered the ring. Toothpick lowered
over his manager as the Singer build
ing does over a flivver.
The Toothpick's instructions were
to stay away and box the black
charger and NEVER to mix.
The bell rang and the ebony war
tior smacked Kelly right on the CEN
tcrboard. The latter felt his nose. 1t
vas bleeding and it was swollen. He
stepped back for a spring and then
took It, and the widest mix-up ever
seen in the West was on.
Spider Kelly from the corner
hcwled like a mailman: stay away,

There was no stop to our hero, how
ever. Keeling and groggy he was
swinging like a gate. Spider Kelly
was bowling like Comanche and
white with rage.
At the bell the man mountain

Spider Kelly met him as he took a
load off his feet and squatted in the
chair. The Spider pulled back an

by BRYAN MORSE.

The University OF Virginia athletes.
coached by Pop" Lanigan ever since
the South Atlantic intercollegiate A.
A. field and track meets started. hold
a majority of the records.
While Bob LeGendre, Of George
town. cut in with three new marks
on Friday and Saturday OF last week,
he displaced one Virginia athlete. a
Virginia Polytechnic Institute man
and Washington and Lee athlete.
The Virginia men still hold a com
ances and will entertain the other col
leges next spring when the annual
meet is staged in Charlottesville.
In the l00-yard dash six men have
performed in even time. The honors
belong to Griffith and Horter. OF
Georgetown: MaNson OF Virginia:
Fugua- of V. +. l., and Wagner, OF
Hopkins, who won in 1918 and 1914 in
10 fiat each time.
MANSON HOLDS MARK.
Maxson, Of Virginia, holds the fur
long record with mark OF ~ 3-5 sec
onds. Eddie Stebbins. OF Georgetown.
with a mark OF so seconds. holds the
440 record. Norris, Of Virginia, with
mark OF 1850 in the $50. is the
holder. Abbott, OF Virginia, with a
mark of 4:2S:2. is the mile record
holder, while A. Chinn. OF v. +. l.,
holds the two-mile mark with 9:4s;a
]. II. Cronley, of Virginia. holds
both hurdle records. In the 100 high
hurdles he ran Is 1-5 in 1918 and in
the 220 low hurdles "a 3-5 in 1914.
Nirginia's mile relay team ran
1892 in Philadelphia on April 80,
this year, for the S. A. record, for
merly held by Hopkins. G. Conelly, of
Hopkins. with jump of feet u inch,
is the record holder in the event,
while LeGendre's leap OF % feet S
inches gave him the record Saturday.
LeGendre's 16S feet 6 inch throw in
the javelin last Friday was a new
South Atlantic record, as was his
discus throw of 129 feet
HAMMER THROW OUT.
Floyd. of North Carolina State, holds
the hammer throw record OF 1913 feet
inches, although this event has been
discontinued and was again discarded
by the S. A. members last week. Gill
bert Horrax. OF Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. holds the pole vault record at
IL feet 8 inches.
AS record holders, Virginia has
qualified eight men, Georgetown Ave,
Johns Hopkins four, Virginia Poly
two, and Carolina State one. 1t is ex-
pected that more records will be made
within the next two or three years
since the South Atlantic colleges. es-
pecially the Carolina and Virginia in
stitutions, are making rapid strides in
developing track athletics.
The awakened interest in track at
William and Mary. Richmond. Nir-
ginia Polytechnic. and Virginia Mill
tary Institute argues well for consid-
erably closer competition in track in
future.
