FINGER At TRAPS

II Lieutenant Commander John
Philip Sousa had not achieved and
held -eminence as march king,
bandmaster and composer, he could
not have missed celebrity as horse
man, hunter, marksman and sports
man. For the distinguished Amerl-
can leader Of the great band is known
among all Of the devotees OF high
class sport in America as an expert
rider and lover of horses, as "a high
gun" among the best wing and trap
shooters of the world and as MINI
rod and woodsman OF the highest ac-
complshments and the most varied
experience.
At the close Of his present concert
tour in March, Lieutenant Com
mander Sousa will indulge himself in
his favorite recreation by retiring TO
the fastness of the vast wilderness
in the lowlands Of North Carolina
which he and a group Of his contem-
porary sportsmen own and control.
This well-wooded and watered ex-
panse of more than 10000 acres is
Lost Paradise" of the Southland, is
the home and haunt of all the game,
fish and fauna of what experienced
hunters and fishermen know to be
the best hunting preserve IN the
United States. There, with a few
friends, the March King will take his
we'll earned vacation, isolated from
the outside world. tramping through
the swamps, riding over the hills
who knows? catching from the
songs and challenges of the wild
creatures there the motif or melody
OF some new march whose stirring

of his countrymen.
For the spring trapshooting tour
naments and competitions, Lieut.
Commander Sousa is widely entered
in various sections of the United
States. The hand that wields the
band baton also carries a wicked
trigger finger and the best marks
men in the world are sure to know
that they's in a real shooting

walks out towards the traps.

tions. we would fail in our duty if we
did not express our appreciation and
thanks to the five gentlemen whose
terms expire and whom we have not
renominated. All of these men have
worked unselfishly for the good of the
game and deserve the hearty thanks
OF every lover of the sport; we would
be sorry to appear unmindful of the
many personal sacrifices which each
has made during his term of service.
Mr.. Waidner, DIR. Humes and Mr..
Sheldon have all served with credit
as delegates -at-large, Mr.. Waidner
having been active on the executive
committee for the past ten or twelve
years; Mr. Jennings has made a
thoroughly honest able, conscientious
treasurer for two years with previous
service on the executive committee;
Mr.. Torrey has worked faithfully as
gentleman and a sportsman for
about a dozen years, the last six Of
which he has served as an officer, who
has always maintained the highest
traditions of the game. We are proud
of the work of all these gentlemen
and we are grateful TO them all for
their unselfish service; we sincerely
hope to retain their active interest in
tennis affairs, for it is men of their
type whom we should keep interested,
if tennis is to be kept on high plane;
there is plenty of work to be done on
committees by all who are willing to
give the necessary time.
THE new men whom we have
named are also thoroughly good
sportsmen, worthy in every way to fill
the places of their predecessors. They
will, we feel confident. meet with
popular approval throughout the
country, for we have canvassed the
situation very thoroughly and have
nominated what seems to be the very
strongest ticket.
This committee has worked hard
for what has seemed to us to be for
the best interests of the game. We
sincerely trust that the results of our
work will meet with your approval.
Yours very truly,
'HOLCOMBE WARD"

lawn Tennis ASSOCIATION To
HOLD ANNUAL MEETING FEB. 4

The annual meeting of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association will
be held in New York on February 4,
at which time officers and delegates
at-large will be elected, according to
a letter received by Dwight B. Heard
from Holcombe Ward of the nominat-
ng committee.
In view of the several tennis tour
naments planned for this section dur
ing the coming year and the large
number of net enthusiasts in the val
ley, Mr. Wards letter follows in
part:
Mr.. Dwight r. Heard.
President Border States Tennis Assn.
Phoenix, Arizona,
Dear Mr. Heard:
Report of the Nominating Committee
We hand you herewith the names
we recommend for election as officers
and delegates at-large at the next
annual meeting of the United States
Lawn Tennis association, February
4, 1922.
In regard to our work, the nom
mating committee has been in touch
during the past few months with a
great number OF tennis men in diff
ferent sections of the country, North,
East, South and and West. We have
found a strong sentiment that occa-
sional changes in the executive COM
mlttee would be in accord with the
progressive spirit of the times and
would meet with strong, popular sup
port on the part of the clubs in the
Y. ). l.. I A; that new blood, fresh
ideas, changing personalities now and
then might put new life, new spirit
new efficiency into the management
OF tennis affairs; and that this policy
OF rotation would enable us to honor
others who have also made their con-
ulbution to the game
In Difference to this wide-s spread
feeling (Which is not confined to any
one section of the country the nom
mating committee have nominated
three new delegates large and two
new officers who, we believe. are
thoroughly qualified to be so honored
by the L.. S. i. T. A. and who will
command the respect and confidence
OF the tennis public.
In making these five new nomina-

May Change Rules
For Stynie Shots
rn.n1lhIloan a. 2. Leased Wire1


PINEHURST, n. c., Jan. S S.-Silas
Fl. Strawn, of Chicago, former presi-
dent, will present at the annual meet
ing of the United States Golf as
sociation at Chicago January "a, 1t
was sail yesterday, plan OF Donald
]. Ross, which Mr.. Strawn considers
would be an excellent solution of the
stymie problem.
"The solution" said Mr.. Ross
(which have arrived at after making
pra .tical test, is to increase the dis
tance when the stymie is in effect
from the six inches between ball and
ball (the st. Andrews rule formerly
used in the United States) to two
feet between the nearer ball and the
hole, and two feet between ball and
ball.
THE most serious objection to the
stymie is that it occasionally brings
about an impossible shot that no
skill can overcome. There should
not be an impossible shot in golf.
If the two foot rule were in effect 1t
would eliminate the impossible shots
for when the nearer ball is at least
two feet from the cup and the stymled
ball at least two feet from the nearer
ball it is always possible to negotiate
a stymie by pitching over the nearer
ball or coming around 1t.

Referring to the announcement

George Stallings, who has managed
teams in both the American and Ma
tional leagues, offers a convincing as
well as logical argument for the su-
periority that the American league
has established for years in most
clashes between |he two leagues.
Outside of the New York club, no
other owner in the National league
will spend money for promising
youngsters says Stallings. "All
American league owners are willing
and anxious to bid for such players.
That is why most of them go to the
American league. That is why the
standard of ball is faster"
