The New York chapter of the Baseball Writers association recently adopted and forwarded to President Johnson a protest against the lat ter's action In disregarding the box score of the official scorer In De- troit-Yankee game at New York last May. In substituting the Associated Press box score of the game, Ty Cobb gained one moro hit, making his 1922 batting average .401.
 Johnson's Letter
 President Jehnson's letter follows:
 Your letter of recent date enclos- ing a clipping from some paper of resolutions passed by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers as sociation was received. l knew noth- ing of the controversy over Ty Cobb's batting average until 1t was called to my attention in the public press.
 MT. Irwin Howe Is the official statistician of the American league and has filled that position for sev- eral years. All official scores, when received at this office. are at once transmitted to him. When tho Cobb incident occurred, I requested a re- port and official score of the EdfIlo Ol MdY 10. NIT. iibNt ldu PIG- viously made a careful investigation of all facts surrounding the scoring of that day.
 Faults in scoring
 "rhe official sheet was not signed and was plainly in error in one other particular that tended to make value . less the pitching records. The Asso- ciated Press score of the game of May 15 was accepted. and with my endorsement. You scored the game for the Associated Press that day and credited Cobb with hit Are we to believe that you reversed your judg- nent at this late date?
 This office has no direct dealings with the official scorers. They are appointed by the clubs in the various cities, and experience has plainly shown that in many cases they are grossly lacking In efficiency and re- sponsibiiity.
 "Extending through period of several years, this office has had much difficulty in securing the off, ficial scores, and in some instances none were received, after much tele- graphing and correspt ndence. MT. Howe, at times from sheer necessity, was compelled to accept tho Associat- ed Press accounts.
 oiNth All IhHtHmce
 T have clearly. in mind an occur renee of last season. The first of- ficial scorer in a certain city sent in his reports promptly. From that point the difficulties Of this office multiplied. Letters. telegrams and threats failed to produce the desired scores. The secretary of the club called at my Chicago office one morning. I promptly took him to task for the r missing scores. MT. John- son, the official scorer is with the club. You will have his report within the next 25 hours Weeks and months have passed: they have not been re- ceived. It was necessary for me to appoint scorer In that city. He re- porttd on 42 games. and a check was sent him from this office.
 ITO me 1t would seem the part of wisdom and prudence for the Base ball Writers to put their house in order before sending me scurrilous and questionable complaints.'

TEE, PARKWAY AND GREEN
By CHICK EVANS

UNDER AND OVER A HUNDRED
 The average golfer can play IS holes with a score of approximately 100. Occasionally ne cuts this to 95, but most of the time he will more likely be 105.
 Why is 1t that those players do not. improve their game? In any other sport the players skill devel- ops with practice. The strange dir- ference between golf and all other sports is that, i'll other sports, a moderate skill develops sh moder- ate playing of the game involved. and expert skill comes with much playing, while in goif-with very large percentage of players--the re- verse seems to be the rule. The man who plays now and then shoots his 100. and the man who plays a lot seems never to be able to cut very many strokes off the 100. There is nothing else in the world of sport just like 1t.
 Haven't Advanced
 l know one man who has owned golf clubs since he was 10 years old. He has played every year for 20 years. He has had frequent oppor- tunity to see good golfers in action and has numbered among his inti- mates several or the very best BolI- era in this country, yet this player hardly knows what 1t is to have a card showing under 100 strokes. His case Is duplicated a hundred thousand times among the golfers of the coun- try. I know.
 The answer to this is that golf Is the only sport which involves half a dozen games r one. It is the only game which calls for the maximum of muscle force for on stroke, and the utmost of delicacy for another. It calls for a quick. rythmie swing of all the body muscles, in the drive. and yet this exertion of force must be accomplished in such manner that there is no consciousness of exertion. On top of this, the golfe must be physically able to walk some five to six miles without tiring, for the mo- ment he tires his game shows if.
 Doesn't Lessen Enjoyment
 Fortunately, tn inability of many enthusiasts to develop q first class game does not rob them of real en- joyment in playing the greatest of outdoor games. The 100 players have just as much fun as the rest O. us,

SEWANEE ALUMNI OUTLINE PROGRAM FOR NEW COACHES.

i SEWANEE, Tenn, Dec. 22.--eSpe- cial.)-An athletic director who shall be professor of physical educa- ton, an all-year- round head coach of very high order, with an assist ant coach. and coach for the fresh men team, was the recommendation of group of alumni. who met last night upon invitation of the athletic board of control.
 A number of names for the posi- tlons of athletic director and head coach of football were suggested and 1t was the concensus of opinion that two men of outstanding ability must be secured before Sewanee could go forward in athletics.
 The athletic board was requested to immediately undertake the selec- tion of men for the positions sug eested and recommend to the govern ing boards of the university q fit man for the position of athletic di- rector. A financial program was dis ,cussed, and sufficient funds under written to carry out the suggested athletic program.
 have more. Many times I have thought that man or woman who
 occasionally executes a fine drive, or wonderfully accurate pitch to the green, gets ore real thrill from the one shot than the e pert ever gets ou of his whole rornd. However. that may be the game has it's own way of compensating all of Us and that Is why so many countless thou
 sands have taken it up with such zest.
 The real reason the average player
 stays in the 100 class is, of course, because he keeps himself there un knowingly. He takes hold of the game as whole instead of going about 1t as a matter of departments.
 The keen business man who has his
 office organized department by de. partment is seldom keen enough to
 know that his round of golf is a matter of at least six definite and
 separate departments. These are:
 Driver, brassie, mtdiron, mashie, nib-
 lick and butter.
 might add two more to these
 back-spin and digger.
 Each one of these clubs is differ ent, and the man who wants to cut
 that 100 score down to so may as we'll resign himself to one fact. which is this: The clubs must be mastered one at time until skill Is acquired with them, sngly. IL is
  long drive if the Drassie is master of the man instead of the other way 1 round. It is of no avail to De able to push a brassie drive clear up to the edge of the green if the player consistently tops his mashie ap- breaches and sends the ball rolling far beyond the other side of the green.
 The average player takes some in- struction from his club pro and then tries to adopt the few lessons to his whole game. The better way is to take lessons in the use of all the clubs and don't quit instruction on one club to take Il panother until your pro tells you he advises It. Whom your doctor tells you to stay indoors you stay in Stay with the driver until your pro tells you that you are ready to begin with the ! irons. Then go down the clubs with 1 him to the green. Most pros can make a fair golfer of any prospect if srt, faf. oI,a

And still they won't leave Mike Donahue alone, and at peace as head coach at Auburn. Donahue is prob ably the most gossiped about football coach in Dixie today. Dame Runner has chosen him her especial ward and favorite, and since Donahue's an- nouncement of resigning at Auburn. it has been reported that he is wanted by no less than half dozen schools, including Alabama, Georgia, Missis- sippi A. 6S M. and Louisiana State.
 The reports have not stopped there, it developed Friday, even though Donahue has rescinded his actions in resigning, and announced that he will fulfill his contract at Auburn. A telegram to the sporting editor from New Orleans last night stated that Donahue had been signed as head coach at l.. s.
