Chicago Meeting Jan. IA
to Consider Charging

CHICAGO. Jan. 5.-Delegates TO
the annual meeting of the United
States Golf association, to be held
in Chicago January IA. will consider

the advlsability OF charging an ad-
mission fee to spectators at the ma

ships will be formally awarded and
officers elected.
The United States association
voted a modification of the stymie
rule three years ago, but since that
time there has been some dissatis-
faction with the way the new rule
has worked out and there appear
to be n tendency to go back to the
stymie. The Royal and Ancient OF
st. Andrews. which rules gols in the
British Islos, has never eliminated
the stymie. Delegates in favor of 1t
for the United States will be numer-
Gus at Chicago.
Perhaps the most important bust
ness will be the discussion as to the
advisibility of charging an admis-
| sion fee for the championships.
| Howard Whitney of New York. re-
| tiring president Is in favor Of IT,
He declared following the amateur
championship at st. Louis that tho
| crowds were becoming too large to
handle properly and some means
| should be devised to keep them
| down. When more than 5000 peo-
pie attempt to witness a golf match
there is no comfort for anyone IN
the gallery.
Limiting the galleries in 1922 will
| be necessary as the two big cham
| pionships are to be held in cities
which will turn out enormous
| crowds.
The ASSOCIATION is interested in
obtaining money which can be used
/ to develop international golf While
| 1t has taken some years for those in
power to come around to II, they are
at last convinced that the most dig
nifled way for America to send rep
| resentatives to Great Britain is for
/ the United States Golf association to
take entire charge of such teams
and pay the expenses. The United
States Lawn Tennis association has
followed this policy for years.
BY charging an admission fee for
i the championships the association
would be able to finance foreign in
vasions OF American golfers.

WILSON MAY BE
UNABLE TO FIGHT
ANYWHERE SOON
All Organized Boxing Is
Likely to- Bar Him for
His Latest Run-Out

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Johnny
Wilson, doubtful champion of
mlddleweights, may soon find him
self unable to fight in defense of.
his title. should he take the notion.
As the result of his run-out OF the
match with Harry Greb at Madison
Square Garden, Wilson Is more un-
popular than ever and today there is
chance that every state which has
a boxing commission will recognize
the action Of the New York COM
mission and uphold the suspension
of the champion.
The Massachusetts, boxing COM
mission, which governs the game in
Wilson's home state, is today await
ing official word from the New
York commission, upon receipt Of
which. II is announced, Johnny will
be barred from boxing there until
the New York suspension is raised.
As result of Wilson's unsatis-
factory bouts and his side-stepping
OF the Greb contract signed with Tex
Rickard, Wilson il now barred in
New York. New Jersey and Ohio.
In the event the tide OF disapproval
that is slowly engulfing him is not
stemmed soon, there will be a
popular demand for a big shakeup
in the middle weight division and
that the crowning of q new title
holder through n series of elimina-
tiou bouts.
Promoter Tex Rlckard stands
ready to stage the elimination series
among the middleweights and may
start it by substituting Mike Nc
rigue, Canadian middleweignt cham
pion. for Wilson against Greb.
