Congestion of Course
By CHICK EVANS

Congestion of Course
One problem that more or less
seriously confronts the golf com
mittee of every club this winter is
the congestion of the course for GER
tain days. at least, of the week, with
the consequent delays to players dur
ing the season. So grievous has this
condition become that in some clurY
action either has been taken or is
being considered, to reduce the mem
bership as the only effective means
of obtaining relief.
A large proportion of the member
snip OF most clubs is made up or
business and professional men whose
time for golf is limited, and when
they find themselves badly delayed
in stsrting or while playing, and
realize that during an afternoon at
the course they spend two hours
playing and three waiting for a
chance to play, their pleasure In the
game is seriously marred.
Memberships Too Numerous
Undoubtedly the main cause of this
condition is larger playing mem
bership than the course can properly
accommodate, but there are other
causes that are very important fac
tors and which can and ought to be
eliminated
Congestion on the course due en-
tirely to an excessively large mem-
bership is trying, but we all know
that on certain days when circum-
stances cause a majority of the play
ers to begin about the same time, 1T is
unavoidable. AS a rule, therefore, de-
lays at the starting point are met
with patience and good humor, but
congestion and delays on the course
brought about by slow and indiffer-
ent players who disregard the rules
and etiquette of the game and who
have no respect for the rights and
privilege of other members are
among the most exasperating condi-
ton with which golfer has to con-
tend.
Cut Down Players
1t is hardly necessary to say that
IF there are more players than a
course can properly accommodate
there Will be congestion even though
every player starts promptly ana
moves along without unnecessary de-
lay. for the early starters wall get
in before the late ones get off. Moth
ing will meet this case except
patient endurance, or the heroic
remedy of reduced membership. II
we assume, however, that the course
can be played comfortably in three
hours and that pairs start every three
minutes. sixty pairs, or 100 players,
or proportionately more In fourrba
matches. theoretically can be accom-
modated without serious difficulty.
providing that every player keeps his
place.
Great care is taken at most clubs
to obviate delay in starting, for this
cause of cong eston is we'll under
stood. but, once started. the players
are more difficult of control. There
is the slow walker, who, once started,
strolls leisurely along as If he had
reserved the course for the day for
his own exclusive use and Is entire
ly oblivious to whether he is keep
ing up with those ahead or blocking
those behind. Naturally. no one is
expected to hurry. but players should
move along briskly, and keep up
with players ahead. and If for any
cause unable to do so, step aside and
permit those following to go through.

KELLY GROOMING
CORKSCREW LEFT
FOR FINLEY BOUT

Will the one-time famous Battling

the fight critics are beginning to dis
cuss, as time for the Kelly Finley
bout at the Athletic club nears. Bat
Ting Kelly has intimated that he
will depend on his left hand to hold
off Finley in their bout next Mon
day night, and fandom seems to
think he has chosen his strongest
weapon, for both defense and Of
tense.
Finley and Kelly are working
overtime now, and in his practice
sessions at the B. A. C. the Battler
has shown most of his old time skill
at twisting through the left that
proved too much. for Dummy Bar
rington and other scrappers who OPP
posed him a year or SO ago. Kelly
says he has never really left OFF
training, and that all he needs to
condition himself for his bout with
Finley is some overtime stuff this
week, and that's his daily menu at
the B. A. C.
Jimmy Won FIRST Ono
In Finley the crafty Battler will
face a worthy foe, If press accounts
of his recent fights count for any
thing. Finley has fought at the b.

FEDERATION SAYS.
CARPENTER : SKI.
BOUT NOT FIXED"
investigators Decide Skis
Charges Without Ground
and Exonerate Everyone

PARIS, france, January 10
The boxing match September "A,
1922, between Battling Ski, a Senga-
lese, and Georges Carpenter was not
preceded by an understanding, the
object of which was to arrange the
events of the match and fix the re-
suit" the French Boxing federation
committee which has been investigat-
ing the charges, declared in its re-
port today.
All of those accused IN connection
with the alleged "frame-up" are de-
clared lnnoeent in the report.
The federation, in accepting the
report of the investigation committee,
declares that the fight between Sikh
and Carpenter was not preceded by
any irregular agreement but was sin
cerelsEA fought and the result was in
accordance with regular ring proceed
ure.
The decision of the investigating
committee clears Skis former man
ager, NJ. Hellers, and Georges Car
pointer, and his manager, Francois
descamps, from charges that an
agreement was made by which the
Senegalese was to feign defeat in the
fourth round. Sikh brought his
charges, with the aid of the deputy
from Senegal, M. Diagne, after the
| boxing federation declared his new
ly-won title of heavyweight cham
pion forfeited because of an esca-
pade at q subsequent fight, when,
while serving as a second, Sikh en-
tered the ring and struck the man
ager OF the boxer opposing his man,
Reports Traced Down
The report of the investigating
committee reviews evidence taken at
Is meetings. 1t is declared that prac-
tically all the talk of frame up
between Carpenter and Sikh could be
traced to a boxer named Gaillard
who formally denied in testifying
although the committee was con-
WINGED he had made some statements
which might have been exaggerated
! in repetition.
The committee lays stress on Skis
unwillingness TO testify. 1t twice saw
films Of the Carpentier-Siki fight
when deaf mutes, who were expert
lip readers, were present. The few

Opens Meet On February IL

words the lip readers were able to
decipher confirmed that Francois
Deseamps, Carpenters manager, at
the ringside only encouraged Carpen-
tier.
What Descamps Said
The incident of Descamps visiting
the corner occupied by Hellers, man
ager of Sikh. to which the public
attached extraordinary Importance, is
fully dealt with in the report. 1t
describes Helers in his corner as
shrieking frantieally to Sikh Finish
him" You've got him" Kill him"
Gaillard declared Descamps shouted
''Tu es tou, Hellers." meaning you
are crazy" implying that Hellers
was not keeping the alleged agree
ment for Sikh to quit. The committee
believes the similarity in the sound of
the phrases caused Gaillard to make
an error.
The committee says 1t is convinced
that Descamps, in the agony of see
ing Carpenter losing, was not aware
that he had passed so far around the
ring" while he was trying to en-
courage his protege. 1t says it also
is convinced that Hellers was never
aware that Descamps came so near
him.

annual meeting follows: Reports are
coming in fast from every section
from persons desiring to enter dogs
in the coming trials, and expressing
their gladness to hear that the run
ming of these trials will be resumed
annually. From present indications it
looks as though this year will see
this club having its largest entry.
THE question of barring all pro-
fessional handlers from entering dogs
in these stakes was gone into and
discussed: also the question as to ex-
actly what line would be drawn as
to who might constitute profess
sional handler, was discussed. 1t was
unanimously decided by the club that
anyone who had received pay for
training dogs, whether they be field
trial or shooting dogs, would be con-
sidered a professional handler and
therefore barred from running dogs
in these trials

feld Trial club are Hugh Scales,

ord, secretary, Birmingham.

Both proposals were referred to
committees to be reported for action

The association took no action on
a suggestion that it seek to prevent
the proposed return bout for the
worlds heavyweight championship

is not a fit opponent for the cham
pion. President Walter II. Llgenger

association had no jurisdiction over
the matter.
The proposed boxing regulation
bureau would be conducted under SUI

Every professional boxer would be
required to register, according to Tex
O'Rourke, secretary treasurer of the
National Boxing association, and
would be given an identification card
which would serve as a passport"
to engagements anywhere In the
