GOLF
CLUBS To RAISE
ANNUAL DUES
Rates Abroad, However, Are
Cheap Compared to Those
Charged in U. S.

CHICAGO. April 5.-With the cam.
paign to reduce golf expenses in full
swing throughout the United States,
as a result of the suggestions made
at the last annual meeting Of the
L. s. G. A., word comes from Great
Britain that dues are to be increased
at many golf clubs OF the island king
dom.
The increases are in most instances
to $50 a year, which Is less than half
the annual dues charged at the aver
age. American clubs. even II no spe.
cial assessments are levied. In the
past there were a number of good
golf clubs In England where the an
nual fees were as low as $1b, and the
Briton, owing TO the long days OF the
northern latitudes, can play golf
every evening after working hours.
The American golfer. on the other
hand. although paying dues OF from
500 to 5000 a year, usually can use
his links only on Saturday after
Moons, Sundays and holidays. The
daylight saving plan in effect In the
larger cities has made II possible for
some golfers to get in nine, or even
eighteen, holes in the afternoon of
week days IL their business does not
detain them at the office later than
4 or O'Clock.
While the British do not play on
Sundays. they can get in probably
twice as many rounds OF golf a sea
son as Americans and at half the
cost.

NOTRE DAME TRIES OUT
NEW FOOTBALL RULE

SOUTH BEND. Ind, April 3.-The
new football rule abolishing the kick
for goal after touchdown and substi-
tuting a scrimmage on the 5-yard
line has been given a try-out during
the spring practice at the University
OF Notre Dame. In a practice game
the scoring team was successful In
adding the extra point in three out
of four trys.
Following the first touchdown the
teams lined up on the five-yard line
and the seventh point was made by
a drop kick. Then another drop kick
was successful. The third attempt
also succeeded. but this time for
ward pass was used. On the fourth
attempt another pass was tried, but
was knocked down.

The necessity for buttoning

BAN ON B|MbO
MAY PRODUCE
ANOTHER STAR
Norman Mcmillan Will Get
Chance to Gust Meusel in
Outfield.
BY SID MERCER.

DALLAS, April 3.-It's an i'll
is the misfortune of Babe Ruth and
Bob Meusel may be the making of
Norman Mcmillan. who otherwise
might have to wait longer for his
chance to star with the Yankees.
II is almost an assured fact now
that this young Southerner will
open the season in right field for
the New York team and II he con
tinues to hit he will seriously dis.
pute that position with Meusel when
the Californian becomes eligible to
play.
But for the plight the Yankees
are in as a result of Ruth's indis
cretion last fall. Mcmillan might
have been returned to the Inter
national League or forced to remain
with the Yankees as a bench warm
er. For. be 1t known. he came to
the club as third baseman and
not as an outfielder.
Snatching the third base job
from Frank Baker, who is in great
form this spring, or Mike McNally,
who played the bag so acceptably in
the last world series. is an accom-
plishment no "busher" would seri.
ously undertake. Mcmillan may be
"a better man than either Baker or
McNally, but he probably could not
have demonstrated that fact this
season because he would have had
few opportunities to break into the
lineup.
One year ago this Mcmillan boy
showed up at the Shreveport train
ing camp with Scout Bob Gilks
claiming hitting talent for him.
"He may be a year or two away
declared Gilks. but he can hit any
kind OF pitching. This is his first
year out of college. Give him a
year under a smart manager and
then look him over"
Miller Huggins gave Mcmillan the
year under George Stallings at
Rochester. He came back this
spring with batting average of
1913 against international League
pitching and record of forty.six
stolen bases.
In the beginning Higgins played
Nc MILAN at third base. He found
fault with the boys deliberate
throwing and was teaching him to
get the ball away faster when Frank
Baker stepped in and took the third
base Job away.
Apparently this froze out McMil-
Ian, but Higgins had noted how the
young man had been slapping spring
pitching. Suddenly Mcmillan re.
placed Skinner in right field. He
was there when the Yanks played
the Cardinals and he has been there
ever since because he is the most
consistent hitter in the Yankee bat
ting order.
Mcmillan has slugged all sorts of
pitching down here. He touched mp
the st. Louis and Brooklyn boxmen
for extra base hits and simply mur.
dered the New Orleans Lurlnrs. In
one game with the Pelicans he slash
ed clean, whistling singles through
the center of the infield so fast that
they could not be touched.
And so this young man has rather
taken the play away from Skinner,
who is still with the club, however.
In fact, both of these young chaps
are figuring prominently in the
spring exhibitions because Meusel is
not with the team, and Ruth, suffer
ing from an injured side, is confinins
his fielding efforts to first base
