DENIAL BY B|DD[E
IN CASE OF |. S. c.
Major Surprised to Learn of
Distress Of Sporting Club
in New York
BOUTS ARE POSTPONED

. Charges that hc had resigned "a
president from the international Sport
ing Club Of New York knowing the or
ganiHation to be in poor financial con-
ition were denied today by Major A. ].
DrcXcl Biddle. Frank Boland, an at
tOrney in New York, made such state
ment in New York on Tuesday and also
said Major Biddle's resignation was
made without consulting his associates
among the clubs officials and directors.
Boland's charges were made during n
SHOW down. meeting in New York as
n result Of an investigation TO find out
about the disappearance of 5000, 600
from the I. S. G. S Golfers without any
records being kept of the money going
out.
Major Blddlc doubts very much that
the international Sporting Club was
virtually wrecked. and believes that the
organization will continue on the work
1t started out to do.
Major Biddlc is visiting at Atlantic
City.
From New York comes the informa
tion that the investigation committee
now delving into the complicated affairs
of the International Sporting Club and
its kindred associations announced last
night that business will take up so
much time for the next week or ten
days that it has decided to postpone
the members meeting and bouts ar
ranged for next Monday evening at
the Central Opera House until the fol-
lowing Monday.
With the addition of Joseph G..
Bosgs, proprietor of the Laurcton Ho-
tel, and j. II. Jowett, vice president
'of the 1ngcrsoll- Rand Company, the
Investigation Committee OF five is now
completed. Boggs succeeds George W.
Sweeney, IN original appointCc, who
finds he cannot give sufficient time TO
the business Ralph l.. SPOTS. Of the
New York \. c.. Gutzon Rorglum and
Frank a. BolGnd complete the COM
mitteC.
While Boland, who is acting as
chairman. would not commit himself.
it appears that after two days hard
work on the books of the club a solu-
ton of its affairs is just as far away
as ever. 1t is known that approx
matcly SG00.0O in bonds and dues
was paid into the treasury. and, in
addition. something like S4OO 900 was
realized on four bouts staged by the
l.. :. E. Corporation.

BASEBALL RALLY
AT PENN TODAY
Coach Cariss Expects to Hold
Indoor Practice for Pitchers
and Catchers Next Week
PROSPECTS ARE GOOD

Coach Walter Cariss, of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania baseball team,
Is taking leaf out of Hesman's book
bv calling his diamond candidates out
for December practice. This after
noon at o 10 the coach will address
the members Of last years varsity and
freshman team members and also the
new candidates who signed up recently.
According to present plans, the pitch
ers and catchers will start work next
week in the gymnasium to iron out the
kinks that have gotten into their wings
since the close of last season. The drill
will not last more than n half hour
each day, and it iS>~NLe desire of the
coach not to make the drills as stren-
uous as they will be during February.
The freshman candidates of this year
are also expected TO report this after
noon. The members of the varsity squad
will coach the yearlings until the Ath-
letic Council appoints a tutor.
Coach CariSS is working on n plan
that will enable the squad to use the
armory at Thirty second street and
Lancaster avenue for indoor batting
practice. If this can be secured the
squad will get its first opportunity for
any real indoor practice.
This afternoons meeting is more in
the form of n rally, according to DR..
Cariss. who wants to have a talk to the
candidates concerning keeping Np in
their studies and also keeping in con-
dition.
This afternoon the practice will start
in earnest, when the entire squad will
be given uniforms and sent on to the
field for drill in fundamentals. The
squad will be divided this afternoon and
the assistant coaches assigned to teams.

LNARLY arrivals for golf have found
IL that it is much more difficult than
ever to play the Pinehurst "run-up
shot" when within twenty five yards Of
the sand greens. There j. more turf
on the fairways than ever before and
this makes it difficult to judge the run
up shot.
The better players are getting moro
effective results by pitching just short
of the sand greens and trusting to the
ball to roll close 70 the hole.
This Will be interesting news to hun
dredS of golfers who at times have COM
planned about the Pinehurst regulars
who use their puttCr when fifty yards
off the greens and roll the ball over the
short smooth grass to the sand. Those
who claimed that this shot was not a
real golf shot and that they could not
play it would have an opportunity 10
show their ability at the pitch shot if
they were here now.
