When the players were lifted cut of the Ae- tive ranks by Commission Landis, his action was commented upon as bsins manifestiy just and not in excess oi what the players deserve.
 Did the critics really mean 1t roi were they just trying to make the commissioner feel satisfied with him self, hoping all the while that he would relent after being honeyed SC thiekly?

 It is the only incident of its kind in baseball.

C., April 1.-Pat oHara. professional at the Richmond County club and former Irish open golf champion, won his first import ant tournament in America today. when he led the dsld in the north and south open championship by four shots and finished with a score of 7S, 75, 72-20o for the 54 holes of play. Clarence Hackney of Atlantic City finished second with total of 224.
 O'Hars's victory was popular as he did brilliant 6s on the number three course yesterday afternoon only to lose the benefit of this round when a severe storm broke after he had fin sary to cancel the second IS holes and decide the championship at 54 instead of 72 holes.
 Hackney, in finishing second play ed fine 74 on the final round and finished ahead of Joe Kirkwood, the Australian, and Pat Doyle or St Louis, who were tied for third at 22S. Jim Barnes, American open champion, was fifth with 22s.
 Jock Hutchinson, who was tied with C'Hara for the lead at the end of the second round, took six at the first second holes in the final 1s holes this afternoon and was S1 for the round.

RICHARDS BEATS CHAMPION TILDEN
 IN TENNIS MATCH
Youthful New Yorker Wins Title in Final Match
 With TiIden

Philadelphia, April 1.-vincent Richards of Yonkers. tonight won the middle Atlantic indoor tennis singles championship by defeating William Tilden II, of Philadelphia. worlds champion tennis player, 2-s. s-l ana s-4. The defeat was the first that Tildsn has experienced in his own city since he won the national cham pionship.
 In the semi final doubles matches, Wallace Johnson, of Philadelphia and Richards beat Tildsn and A. L.. Vein CT, of Philadelphia, +-s. s-1 and sl while Charley watson and Herbert Fischer of Philadelphia, dsfaulted to Lawrence Rice of Boston and Arnold Jenes of Providence.
 The defeat of Tilden at the hands of Richards did not prove q surprise to the lstter's followers, particular ly ir view of his remarkable place msnts. He kept rilden shifting from one side of the court to the other varying his shots to such an extent that rilden was worn out after the second set.
 Richards set a fast pace during the last set, leading rilden five games to one. The champion recovered, how ever, sufficiently to win the next three games, but a cramp in the right hand forced him to take time out until it could be nassaged. when he returned, Richards won the next game and the match.

vent winners of world series from making baseball a stench in the nos tFils of deeency after the series was over
 rhs reasons why the rule prohibit ing any member of q team contesting in a worlds series rom taking part in any game after the series is over as outlined today by one of the off eiais of the major leagues are as fol- iews:
 Players of worlds series teams bArnstormed and played mixed teams for an admission of 2S cents mixed teams meaning teams composed of colored and white players. World series players advertised themselves to pla at certain towns and never appeared.
 DfssrAeriy Conduct
 World series players, not being un- der discipline, behaved in q disorder l iy manner.
 World series players were repeat eeiy accused of hippodrominE. l World series players as world se- ries players and not as iMdividuals brought the game into dlsrepuAte by their manner of living and their be- havior on the field.
 World series players would en- gage in games to the extent Of mak- ing fly catch or going once to bat or something equally inconspicuous and Nhen retire from the game" Mo9uIs Favor Kuie More offenses than this can be re- lated but these arc enough to give an idea as to why the rule was put into effect. Every club owner who has had world series team and who was living when the original rule was adopted voted for it. Whether or not the rule may now be considereds too severe, 1t is fact that prominent man agers and generous owners advo- catsd it.
 Baseball without discipline fs a precarious sport from q professional ! standpoint. That is why there arc so many rules and regulations. The only ones who think themselves er- l empt from rules and regulations are the owners. but they are not. They pass about 50 new ones every year to see that tho other fellow doesn't put anything over on them. Professional sport can be just as good as amateur sport from the mere standpoint of sport. but it requires a great deal of hedging in, as the farmer said when he turned his colt out in a pasture, no fence of which was less than six rails high

Tennis Is q Game of Youth, Declares
 Camp
By WALTER CAMP Special Correspondent of The AKe-Herald tCopyriEht. 1see. by The AEe-HeraidJ


 Ney York, April 1.-The recent as sertion of Roper Barrett, on behalf of himself and Black and Gore, who lost in the early 1900s in the Davis cup match to the Americans-Whit- man, Davis and ward--that this old time British team could beat the same Americans were they to meet this year, has stirred up a great deal of discussion. Although the United States Lawn Tennis association im- mediately took up tho challenge, the other side of the water. And this brings out a piece of most de- sireable study for all these who are deeply interested in the physical well fare of our people. There is no Quss- tion whatever but that the men in any country, who are doing the greatest work and should be at the top of their powers, are in the middle period of life, and although the phy- sical powers may begin to decline at 70 or 50, if the general health be good, the value of the man in the community continues for a very con siderable period of time thereafter, in spite of the Osler theories.
 Age Limit Means Nothing
 A certain New York physician was accredited with the statement recent ly that 45 is the limit at which ten his singles may be played. and 55 tho limit for doubles. Yet there are plenty of men playing tennis and playing it well, who are past that age. At Amherst, the singles cham pion of the faculty, until yery short time ago, was a man close to 50, and there are plenty of our old timers who are keeping 1t up wei beyond those ages.
 But the question is the avera xe man and not the exception. Taking the average, 1t is undoubt edly true that the man over 50 playing tennis or squash is more liable to . broken bone, for the bones have become more brittle. But athere Is another phase. one that undoubtedly was in the physicians mind when he set the limit of 45 for singles. It is this. that after that age any serious strain | on the, vitality is apt to present its bill later on in the shape of lowered endurance and resiStive force. From that time on the average man iy drawing on his reserve and that re. serve does not fill up again as i. | did in youth. If man from 20 to | 30 plays to the point of exhaustion. .ong nights rest will generally re- store him, but if man over 45 does that, he certainly goes through the next day tired. and perhaps that con dition prevails for two or three days, | so on the whole, the New York phy- sician was probably sound in setting the above limits and at any rate, the

Harper skied to center but Tommy Taylor shillelahed one to right viciously, and Clarke spurted home with the run that saved the Barons from 2 white-washing. Krsh- myer allowed a slow ball to pink him in the slats. but Burkett brought the inning to a clos ewith a fly to right.
 After the fourth, Bill Statham made his debut and 1t was a case of three up and three down in the fifth. In the sixth, however, Bill grew too con fident after having struck Mostil out, and he grooved one for Sheeiy. The Sox first-saoker bludgeonixed it with such a vengeance that the ball bound = ed in the wet turf in left and hoped the railing for a homer.

 The Sox put over their final tally of the game in the eighth, when Mostil doubled to left with one zone. Sheely popped out to short. but Schalk picked out one to his likfnx and slammed 1t to right center for two bases and Mostii scored on the drive. Hodge also delivered with a clean blow to left, but Schalk was thrown out trying to score Clarke to statham to Taylor to Brandon.
 Nichols pitched the last inning and Brandon caught for four innings, re- fieving Robertson.

Etiquetta


 l would like to say few words on the courtesy side of golf and which I think will add to the enjoy ment of players this season.
 When you make an exceptionaliy good shot it Is good plan to stop and study how you did 1t rather than give way to your pleasure at the re- suit. If more players would analyzs . successful shot they could execute it with greater frequency.
 Never Show Elatien
 A sood sportsman never shows eia- ton when his opponent fin tight match, gets into trouble or makes a poor shot. Golf etiquette rules against this. It goes without saying that the less one worries about the outcome of a match the more likely he Is to play up to his best form. Worry, and you inevitably lots the re- faxed style necessary in good golf. When you worry your muscles tighten and your strokes are made in a stiff awkward fashion
 A player who has mastered the principles of golf will find himself making better progress if his oppoR- ents are better players than he is Naturally one strives to play up to the standard of the best man in the match and this brings out good golf
 Never Asks For Half
 It Is not a good habit to ask for a half on putting green though you think you are lying dead but have one stroke left for a half. It is only nat lural that your opponent should feel that If 1t is SO easy to sink the ball why don't you do 1t and not ask for It. On the other hand If your oppon- ent volunteers the half accept 1t without further discussion. have seen players under these circum- stances start to hole the ball with one hand and miss That opened the way for an argument which could just as well have been avoided had the player picked up the ball when the hole was offered him.
 Before taking your stance to play short decide definitely in your own mind exactly what you intend to do. There is quite . little advantage in being able to execute your play with out any hesitation while addressing the ball. This Is one of the little things that counts big in golf. Too much golf is as bad for . player as too little. Too much play ing means a loss of enthusiasm for the game, muscle soreness which cas- fly results in establishing bad golf habits. Two rounds every other day Ifs lot of golf and the average man can play up to his best form with less than this.
