CHICAGO. Sept 24.-Members OF
the executive committee of the
United states Golf Association at a
meeting here during the progress
of the amateur golf championship
discussed many questions which
wsll have an important influence
upon the future conduct of the
game il America.
Most important of all concerns
the ball. The committee Is Of the
opinion that the present ball Tiles
too far and that means should be
taken to reduce it's power. Action
upon this viii probably be taken at
the next meeting of the committee
more Country Club. during the
wonnan's championship next week.
The ribbed and punched clubs,
popular in America. may be barred.
just as they are barred in Great
Britain. The committee desires to
reduce mechanical equipment which
1t fears will become such a great
aid to the making of strokes that
the reward for skill will not be
sufficient.
The committee Is looking with
favor upon the steel shaft which is
now blaclxIisted from championship
competitions. The opinion Is. grow
ing that the steel shaft is not q
mechanical device which in any
way discounts skill, but that the
supply of wooden shafts is not
abundant and that steel will make
Il satisfactory added material.
The Merton Cricket Club, Phila
delphia, will likely be selected for
the next amateur championship
The event was placed there in
1916, when Chick Evans was the
winner. Merton has two courses
east and west. which makes il
possible to play the. qualifying
round in one day.
This is an advantage. The field
is so large now that If one course
is used II becomes necessary tt
start the event on a Saturday and
continue until the following Satur
day.
Detroit may obtain the oper
championship. Oakland Hills would
entertain the professionals.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Jameg
w. Coffroth, proponent of hoof and

yet to emerge from the silence
since his arrival in the east but
according to information received
from a far western source he has
some plausible arguments to offer
when he attempts to line up Demp-

So far Coffroth has maintained a
marked reserve in discussions of
the enterprise. but it is understood
that he is to confer with Jack
Kearns before the latter leaves

follows:
He, Coffroth, will promote the
bout at his Tia Juana track early

cial interference and that the fight
ers will receive their share of the
purse whether the bout draws $4,000
or merely gentlemen of the press
and the ushers.
In, addition Coffroth can point to
| the fact that great crowds can be,
and are transported to the Mexican
| border town without inconvenience
| for every important event held
| there. 1t is said on good authority
| that $4,000 visitors from Los
Angeles and vicinity spent Labor
Day at Tia Juana while at least
/ 900 more crossed the border from
San Diego.
They made the trip without the
slightest difficulty, the San Diego
/ and Arizona Railroad carrying 90
900 persons to the track in a few
hours. The remainder of the crowd
came by motor, this being Cali
/ fornia's favorite means of trans
portation. The roads are so good
out there that a trip of 400 miles out

Running across the border from

in two weeks of hard work getting
himself in the best of shape.
With possibilities of a title bout
with Jack Bernstein for the junior

meet Lew Tender as the reward
for victory, Brown has never

Because of the brilliant form he

into the ring with many hackers
to beat Chaney. The Baltimore

strong favorite to stop his opponent
whenever he exchanges punches in
a local ring, but every indication
points to Brown having just as
many supporters as the hard-hitting

Local fans view the coming oatt]f
