Because golfers love a good golfer the
American amateurs practicing at Hoy
lake already have won a great following
by a combination of brilliant art and
Yankee hustle. Venerable golfers are
astonished at seeing them make a
course-spoken of as harder than II
lools--look easier than II looks Their
businesslike methods give them an air
OF confidence which Is disturbing to
their rivals. and although none OF the
experts cares TO make predictions, there
Is every prospect of glorious happy
golf' beginning Saturday when the in
ternatfonal match between the British
and American teams Is staged as pre-
lude to the opening tournament Monday.
OF the Americans Francis Ouimet and
Bobby Jones retain popularity. with
Jones picked to win. not counting Chick
Evans. who has had no chance to work
out well as yet. and IL regarded as the
greatest OF the team.
But the best cards have been turned
In by Guillford, who Is playing a con-
sstantly strong game. This week END
Ouimet hit his ball to the seventeenth
green, good 800 yards and whi'c

some expert critics believe the Amerl
cans will not be so successful at Hoy
lake as in their own country as re-
suit OF changed conditions making II
necessary to change the execution OF
their shots. They have habit OF
banging their approaches high in the
air and letting the ball drop sluggishly.

to this style. The length Of the holes

Reduce Penalty for Lost
Golf Ball to Distance Only
w. C. A. Also Settles Much
Discussed Stymie Rule.

CHICAGO. May Is. - Directors of the
revised the much troubled stymie rule
and also reduced the penalty for lost
ball and ball out of bounds to loss of
distance only in both cases.
In the old Scotch rules the penalty 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 distance An American
committee sent TO Great Britain a year
ago obtained a change to make the pen
atty for lost ball the same in stroke
competitions as 1t had been in match.
but al the same time the penalty for lost
ball was increased to loss of distance
and a stroke.
This was too severe in the opinion Of
many American players and the Western
to-day reduced the punishment TO loss
of distance only in all cases. The new
rule on stymies. which were first abo-
ished by the Western association in
1916. causing some CONSERVATION In the
9olfing world. and eventually bringing
about partial adjustment by the
United States Golf Association last win
ter. reads:
When both balls are on the putting
green. the ball nearer the hole. upon the
request OF either side. shall be lifted or
played. at the option of it's player"
The change consisting in giving the
owner OF the ball nearer the hole tho
same option as the player whose ball Is
away.
The directors also accepted with re-
gret the resignation OF Crafts w. Hig-
gins. assistant secretary. who has
handled all the tournaments and writ

won from the British Great War Vet

There was no scoring in the first half,
the rival teams showing themselves to be
well matched. The Tebos had their full
share OF the play and would have scored
more than once but for the brilliant
play of Renzull in goal for the Robins.
The machinelike play OF the forwards for<
the national champions was the feature.

morrow at KnickerbOcker
Draws Fine Field.
ny KERR n. PETRIE.

Golf peeked in at the door last week.
This week II arrives with both feet. Fox
Hills follows hard on the heels of Gar
den City, with its annual invitation tour
nament, and in addition there is the
| first open championship of the New Jer-
sey State Golf Association. which event
Is scheduled for the links of the knick-
erbocker Country Club at Tenafly on
Wednesday. with an amateur -profes-
sional best ball competition as a curtain
raiser tomorrow
Knickerbocker is a course that not a
great many golfers in the Long Island
and Westchester districts know a great
deal about. II is little more than a
baby as golf courses go, but il is well
worth knowing, seeing that il has one
! stretch of nine holes that Is as good as
anything that the national links can
produce The opinion is that of Oswald
Kirkby.
For the Fox Hills tourney on Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday there is also
something to be said. A partial reor-
ganization Of the club has resulted in
general housecleaning around the
clubhouse and course. The latter is in
excellent shape and contains a few
more scorerufning holes in the ground
than were there last autumn.
Most interesting and at times horri-
flying. Of all is the new pit opened up
at the fifteenth to impress upon the
linlsman the necessity for learning
something of back spin. In times gone
by 1t has been the custom to pitch to
the left and allow the ball to trickle
down the hillside to the green. Now
the man who can stick 'em where they
belong Is reaping the reward OF his pa
thence and TOLL while those who have
nothing on the ball but their blessing
are left to do the worrying. That pit
has been placed where the borrowing
approaches used to break.
Harry c. Denison, chairman OF the
committee, reports that the tournament
is to be red letter event In the annals
Of Staten Island golf or. so at least he
hopes. and that while there will be both
quality and quantity in the field and
trophies galore the gallery also IS as

Special Despatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
BALTIMORE, Md, May 15.-Louisville
~as horse mad on the eve of its Derby
last week but the thousands who
swarmed about that city were not one
whit more enthusiastic over the West
ern classic than are the throng OF race
goers who are here over the historic
Preakness, which will be run at the
Pimlco track tomorrow afternoon.
Every train that arrived here to-day
was crowded with persons who love a
good horse and a good horse race They
came from New York by the droves.
Washington sent up nearly as many
and so did Philadelphia. They also came
from points further away. California.
Canada and Kentucky were well repre-
sented. As a result OF the huge gath
ering rooms at the different hotels were
at a premium. Officials of the track
said to-day that If the weather is clear
and the track fast a record crowd will
see the big race run.
Despite the fact that Behave Your
self and Black Servant. the Bradley
colts which finished first and second
in the Kentucky Derby, are not among
the entries the race promises to furnish
a stirring contest and make turf his-
tory.
Although the preakness is not quite
as rich in tradition as the Derby 1t is
In reality turf classic IL is a rich
stake and IL there are not many with
drawals to-day It will be worth more
to the winner than the Derby The
Churchill Downs classic was s3S.450 to
the winner. All starters in this stake
must pay $1,000. and IL there are only
three Withdrawals the winner will earn
the tidy sum OF $4,000.

GREAT PRAISE FOR
COLUMBIA'S CREW
jim Rice. However. Does Not
Regard Victory as Row
ing Feat.
BY DANIEL.

Jim Rice yesterday did not regard the
victory OF his Columbia crew over the
Princeton and Pennsylvania varsities
on the Harlem River on Saturday as a
great rowing accomplishment. THE
Columbia crew proved itself great
eight particularly because it won in
spite of the psychological and physical
handicap which came up when Van
Houten, the captain and strongest man
in the boat, had to go to hospital with
pneumonia" said Rice. THAT fact made
Columbla's showing very fine one But
we are going to meet much stronger op-
position at Poughkeepsie. That's where
the big test Is coming.
Il do not want to 20 into any discus
sion of the merits and demerts OF the
three crews. Columbia. even in victory
was not without flaws. That is natural
at this stage OF the season Our crew
also did not get very good steering from
its coxswain. We have 4 long siege OF
worl; ahead of us and with good fortune
We ought 10 make the rest know they
are in race UP at PouEhkeepsie."
Other experts adopted no halfway
measures In describing the Columbia
crew as one OF the best eights yet turned
out by Rice The combina ton is game
as Il Is taught by Rice-rows it just as
Rice wants IL rowed
Cy Weed the old Cornell stroke. who
knows a crew when he sees IT, said that
he looked for Columbia to furnish great
opposition at Poughkeepsie. 1T ought
to be a great regatta, with Cornell up to
standard, Columbia better than usual
Syracuse apparently as strong as last
year and California coming East with
a mystery crew, which is said to be
better than the Stanford eight which
gave Cornell so great a battle in 1915

test which will go n great way to-
ward telling just what's what In col
lege rowing circles Will come on Satur-
day on Lake Cayuga. Cornell will meet
Princeton and Yale. Princeton will be
represented by the Leh stroked eigh,
which beat the Navy and which is the
real varsity--stronger and faster than
the Creswel stroked eight which was
beaten by Columbia. Cornells varsity
will be the great freshman crew OF last
year-an easy winner In all Its 1920
races.
The great crowd which turned out for
the Childs cup race and the great turn
out on the Harlem yesterday showed
that New York Is IN the throes OF big
rowing revival. on the Harlem yester-
day the local oarsmen began the last
lap in their training for the annual re-
gatta on Memorial Day. The New York
Rowing Association received congratula-
tions for the splendid manner in which
