BRITISH GOLF STARS
WILL NOT ENTER IN
SKOK|E OPEN PLAY
J. H. Taylor and Sandy Herd
Will Arrive Too Late to
Compete at Chicago.

New York, March 11.-Unless J. H.
Taylor and Sandy Herd, the British
golf stars who are going to tour the
United States in exhibition matches
this summer, make change in their
plans they will not play in the national
open championship at Skokie. July IL
and following days. According to Sum
ner r. Hollander, who is managing the
Britons, they expect to arrive here on
July 8. too late to. play at Chicago.
Hollander. however, has written abroad.
making an urgent plea that Taylor and
Herd sail SO as to not only give them
cine to compete in the open but also
to make it possible for them to get in
q few practice rounds prior to the
pionship.
Only One Date Set
Right now there is only one abso-
,ute date decided on for this pair. that
being the annual open tournament for
the Shawnee Shield at the Shawnee
Country club July &c and 81 This club
on the Delaware has attracted more
stars than any other organization for
meeting of this kind When Harry
Vardon and Ted Ray came to this
country two years ago only the last
named competed, as Vardon had a
sprained thumb. On that occasion Jim
Barnes led the field. A year ago George
Duncan and Abe Mitchell tried their
luck, but dark horse. Willie Ogg, of
Worcester, showed the way. The ques-
ton now is whether or not Taylor and
Herd will be able to succeed at Shaw
nee.
Until such time as the date for their
arrival is absolutely fixed on, Hol-
lander is not giving the many clubs
asking for TaylorHerd exhibitions any
definite schedule.
May Play In East
If the Britons go to Chicago for the
open. they will be booked for matches
in that vicinity directly afterwards;

BETTING
NOT OF KIND TO
HURT, SAYS CAMP
Reports of Menace to Sports
Have Been Exaggerated
Asserts Writer.

New York, March lit takes very
straight thinking and some kind Of a
spirit which can hardly be defined, to
preserve the word amateur" It is.
indeed. difficult thing to keep the
money out of amateur athletics and it
always has been menace. This brings
up the age-old discussion of betting
and it's connection with the sports.
The first Oxford Cambridge games
were held for money prizes. It is also
true that in early days of the building
of colleges in this coutry, the favorite
method Of raising funds was through
lotteries. In that way some of the
college buildings now standing were
was supported by lotteries, the last of
which was held in 1863 and netted
5000 pounds. Certain of the houses
in the old brick row at Yale were built
by means of lottery. Even up to a
comparatively recent time. the choice
of rooms at Yale was lottery.
See It Everywhere
Probably the majority of boys in
their fathers play golf and bridge for
stakes and perhaps do the same thing
themselves. The toss of coin to
settle Ruth's salary probably did not
shock any large proportion of our col
lege baseball players. The first Yale
Harvard boat races at Worcester were
practically financed by the railroads IN
expectation of traffic receipts and col
lege teams do not feel any particular
harm in junket at the expense of
someone else.
In the earliest days of baseball. even
before the K X K baseball club was
organized, it was customary for teams
to play for the ball or bat used. The
writer has before him now a letter
from Alex Cartwright. one of the orig
written in 1865, in which he boasts of
his teams victories, saying he had in
his possession ''the original ball with
which we used to play on Murray Hill"
Reports Exaggerated
The betting on college games un-
doubtedly has been much exaggerated.
Betting is usually ready money prop
osition and the average collegian has
down stories of thousands having been
wagered only to find that thousands
reduced to hundreds.
There is an old saying. who plays
for more than he can lose with pleas
ure stakes his heart As rule col
lege betting is of character that
comes within this spirit and that is
all that can be said for it.
The great growth of college athletics
has been under the operation of as
strict rules as can be enforced to pre-
serve the amateur spirit and continues
money out. To most of us it seems
that another letting down of the bars
would be most dangerous and might
all the admirable work that
has heen done

FREE GOAL TRIAL
| AFTER TOUCHDOWN
|. IS PUT INTO DISCARD
Football Rules Committee Al
lows Scrimmage From Five
Yard Line instead.

New York. March 11.-The free trial
for a goal after touchdown was abol-
ished Saturday by the football rules
committee Henceforth a team. scor-
ing touchdown may put the ball IN
play on or back of the opponents five
yard line and from scrimmage try for
single point by any legal scoring
play.
The rule covering the new play,
which has yet to be clarified and put
in final form, follows:
when touchdown has been made.
the side scoring the touchdown has
possession of the ball anywhere on or
outside the five yard line for scrim-
mage, from which by any legal play,
as from an ordinary scrimmage, pass,
kick or run they may score a field
goal OF touchdown and the score Of
any character shall not be more than
one point.
IF the attacking side makes foul
or illegal or incompleted pass or other
play, they lose their chance for the
one point following touchdown.
IF the defending side offends the
rules, the score of one point shall be
awarded to the attacking team"
