made to Cody. Mr.. Thompson is also
working for a car containing both

autos and trucks to be on hand so
there will be no lost motion. Mr..

planted in the smaller streams where
food conditions are favorable for the
growth of young trout. The fish will
be from three to four inches in length
and should be ready to catch this
coming summer to the legal limit.

CODY CLUB NOTES

The Cody Club met at the Irma
Cafe on Monday with a fair number
of members present.
Minutes of last meeting were read
and approved.
Secretary Hayden read a letter
from the Wyoming State Dental AS
ISOLATION accepting the invitation of
the Cody Club to hold the 1924 an
nual Convention in Cody.
A letter from the Wyoming State
Public Service Commission regarding
conference to be held, and upon mo-
ton the matter was referred to the
Trade Expansion Committee of the
Club for action.
Moved and seconded that the chair
man appoint a committee to ascer-
tain the number of people that would
pledge themselves to attend the Black
and Yellow Trail picnic to be held
early in August in the, Big Horn
Mountains, and that the Secretary
notify the picnic committee of the
acceptance of their invitation and the
number that will be present.
DIR. Moody of the Camp Ground
vAoAtAii6 1CPOitCa 0POAA
needed improvements at the camp
ground, and that the tourists as a
whole are pleased with Cody and the
camping facilities that are furnished.
Tourists are reporting that Birds Eye
pass is in bad shape, but most ears
have no great difficulty in making
the grade.
Dave Jones of the Road and Trans
p~ortation committee spoke of the fact
that the Burlington r. r. plan upon
the construction of a bridge over
Idaho creek, and of the possibility
that the Railroad Company might be
induced to bridge the river and es-
tablish the depot on this side. He be-
lieves that it is well worth the effort
of the Cody Club to negotiate with
the Railroad Company in an effort to
have them build on the south side of
the river.
E. ]. Goppert told of the informa-
ton bureau that is maintained on the
road near Shoshoni where tourists
are routed to Yellowstone Park via

leading statements regarding the road

Lowell Chronicle
Likes The Stampede

We believe that had a count been
taken on the people going out of
town on the Fourth, it would have
developed the fact that Cody and her
Stampede attracted fully ninety per-
cent of them. Not only did this
famous annual event in Buffalo Bill's
town attract the people from Lowell,
but apparently from all parts of the
country, for Wyoming Fords stood
shoulder to shoulder" with New
York and other eastern states Pack
ards and Cadillacs, and were on a
perfectly friendly footing during the
three big days during the time Cody
was putting 'er on Wild"
And Cody vas giving the good
people who attended their moneys
this year with worthy attractions,
which included Caroline Lockhart
and jake Schwoob dressed in cos
tunes and mounted on steeds befit-
ting the occasion.
Speaking of Miss Lockhart, we
have come to have an added regard
for her ability along various lines,

Stampede as a result of the adver-
Using campaign put on by Miss Lock
hart, our additional admiration is
for her ability as an advertising
"man", and then appearing in per-
son on the filed each day to see that
her statements in advertising mat
ter were fulfilled. If it were left to
US we would say that the increasing
success of the Stampede each year is
due to the persistency and ability
displayed by Miss Lockhart.
The program was good this year,
it went with a snap that holds the
interest of the crowds, and each ex-
hibition was meritorious and collect

REVISED GOLF
BODY SAID
LIKELY
Proposals Made TO Embody
All Sections in One
Organization.

When the delegates gather in New
York in January for the annual
meeting of the United States Golf
Association, it may prove q rather
mournful occasion, as there is a
/ possibility that it will be the last
session Of its kind under the aus
pices Of the national body 'tas is. :"
During the national amateur cham
pionship tournament at Flossmoor,
it will be recalled that the Western,
Trans Mississippi, and Southern Golf
associations made joint proposal
10 the u. 8. G.. A., for complete
Encouragement Of the government
of the game In this country. the
idea being for all four to amalga-
mate in what would De known as
the American Golf Association.
One Of the first changes suggested
for the new American q. A. was
the abandonment Of the two classes
Of membership such as prevail at
present. In other words, DO away
with the active or voting, and the
allied and non-voting, distinction and
have only one general class wherein
all would be equal.
The Western, Southern and Trans
Mississippi associations requested an
immediate answer to their proposal,
which was not forthcoming, as the
whole matter came as a profound
surprise to the u. s. G. A. and the
officials wanted time to think the
matter over
Naturally, the first questions that
occurred to the executive committee
of the u. S. G. A. were: would such
q change be for the best interests Of
golf? What is to be gained? What
can be accomplished that is not being
accomplished now?' Certainly those
controlling the destiny of golf in this
country have ever been loyal to the
games traditions; have ever fought
for high ideals.
"Why should the United States
Golf Association discard a name that
has stood for the best and highest
in golf for thirty years?" asked an
official the other day. "Never was
the u. s.. G.. A. more respected by
the governing body in Great Britain
than at present. How would the
Royal and Ancient take the sugges-
ton to cooperate with an entirely
new league, especially one composed
at least in part Of those who have
for years been more or less antago-
nistio to foreign conversation"
No matter what is the ultimate
decision in this case, such a consti-
tutional upheaval could not be
brought about before the annual
meeting the first part of the new
year.

CHI CITY SERIES
To WITNESS
CHANGES
Every Member Enrolled With
Teams May Get Chance
TO Play.
BY HARRY NELLY.
CosmopoIitan News service.

CHICAGO. Nov. 17.-Revision Of
the rules governing city series is
contemplated for the joint meeting
OF the major leagues to be held here
next month. A plan to let every
member regularly enrolled with
each club participate has been sug'
gested and it has the approval Of
Ban Johnson, president Of the
American League. At present q
player must be with the club Sep
TENDER to be eligible.
The clubs which compete In the
world series gained their right to do
so through winning the champion
ship in their leagues. That is the
reason why the September / re.
striction is put on the eligfbles, the
idea being that the same club which
won the championship should play
for the world title.
City series are something else
again. Teams engaged in them do
so merely because they happen to
be located in certain municipality
They didn't defeat anybody to get
into the post-season games.

been eligible. He missed out by a
matter Of six days. The Cubs had
a young pitcher named Wheeler, in
whom the fans had more than a
passing interest. These players
were barred, although they were
regularly enrolled members Of the
clubs competing.
The amendment win be discussed
at the major league meetings and
may be adopted.
Baseball business here Just now is
rather scant. Commissioner Lands
Is getting ready for the December
fireworks, but President Veeck. of
the Cubs, is out Of the city, and so
Is President Comiskey Of the White
Sox. Ban Johnson has gone hunt
ing in Oklahoma, and before he lnft
he declined to comment on the con-
stitutional changes suggested by the
commissioner. However, it is
suspected he will oppose any amend
ment giving the commissioner any
power over umpires save in the
world series, all arrangements for
which are in the hands OF Lands.

from the 56-yard line. This is a
seasons record to date.
Sixty-three yards is the dis
lance record for dropkicking. Il
was made in 1915 by Mark Payne,
of Dakota Wesleyan. Pat O'Dea,
Wisconsin's great kicker, and
George Gipp, Notre Danes un-
fortunate backfield wonder, each
booted a field goal sixty-two
yards. O'Dea did the trick in
1898 and Gipp in 1915.
There have been famous drop
kickers who never reached the
50-yard mark. Harold Pumpelly
missed it by a yard. Paul Kast-
ner, Of Notre Dame, and Nal
Aldrich, of Yale, each booted A.
yard dropkicks for goals.
Al Sharpe's best was from the
45-yard line. So was George
Capron's for Minnesota. Jim
Thorpe usually used the place
ment kick but he booted q drop
kick field goal against Harvard
in 1909 from the 43-yard line, so
it shows he could do it if he tried.
w. G. Crowell, as fine a drop
kicker as was ever produced any
where, has a 45-yard field goal
to his credit against Ursinus in
1909. That's his longest.
Walter Eckersall's longest was
from the 36-yard line. Frank
Hudson, Of Carlisle, made his
longest from the 35-yard line:
Charlie DAILY did the same thing
for the Army against the Nav
in 1901. Jack Dalton, the Navy's
star, has thirty-five yards as his
longest distance, winning the
Army game in 1910 with his, boot.

to take on the welter champion, and
negotiations now pending may be
closed as soon as Walkers suspen'
sion is lifted in New York.
Tender plans to get back to the

He never seems to grow tired. and
