CAMP SUGGESTS THAT
ABILITY OF GOLFERS
BE BASIS FOR DUES
The Better They Play, the
More They Pay Novel
Idea for Clubs.
By WALTER CAMP.

Copyrsht. 1898 by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 2S.-Golf is today
our greatest individual game for all
ages, from the youth to the old man,
That statement is so true it is almost
trite. The player of moderate skill who
seldom breaks a hundred" is in the
seat majority. But when it comes to
legiSlating for the good Of this great
game, the men whose scores are usually
over 100 strokes, who furnish more than
two-thirds of the money 10 lay out,
keep up and maintain our thousands Of
clubs courses, probably have no repre-
ScntatiOn at all.
They have nothing 10 say regard
ing the rules and regulations of the
game, which, without their support,
would run upon the financial rocks in
less than a year in most sections of
the country. And yet many of these
Indifferent players are admittedly num-
bcred among the so-called best minds"
of the country.
1t might not be bad idea il in some
Cf the clubs the dues were adjusted pro-
portionately TO the Gkill OF the player.
For example, a man who is able TO
play an 1S-hOle round under 80 strokes
might be charged $500 year; one who
normally plays in the SOS, $3.50; one
whose scores are generally between 90
and 100, 800, and the overwhelming
majority whose main ambition is 10 at
tain double figures once in lifetime,
$50. So far az the writer can learn,
there are no courses which follow such
plan.

PLAYER WHO SLID TO
FIRST BASE ALWAYS
OUT WITH TIM HURST
Umpire Figured Slide Was
Simply to Raise Dust and
Confuse Umpire.

In all probability baseball will never
produce another quaint character like
Tim Hurst.
As umpire, Tim did things on the
ball field that no other umpire would
dare do. What is more, Tim got
away with them.
Old-time players will tell you that
Tim always called player out who
slid into first when trying TO beat out
hit.
what am l out fOr?" the players
would shout when Tim so ruled on a
close play.
For sliding" was always Tins curt
reply. and he meant it.
players invariably slide into first
on close plays. Their idea is not TO
improve their chances, as sliding
slows up most players, but to raise
dust. obscure the play and confuse the
umpire. That is why they are always
out with me-" was Hurst's viewpoint.
And Tim never failed 10 carry out his

HEALTH CENTERS IN
SCHOOLS WILL NOT
BE ABANDONED NOW
Red Cross Chapter Decides
to Maintain Work De-
spite Lou Funds.

Health ccntcrS in the public schools
of the city will continue to be operated
during the rest of the present term, it
was decided at meeting of the board
of directors Of the BcXar county chapter
of the American Red Cross Tuesday
morning. At a recent meeting of the
board it was decided to discontinue the
centers for the reason that the funds
raised at the last annual roll call were
not enough to carry on the regular
activities of the organization here.
However, upon investigation il was
found that the centcrs were doing a
work among the poor Chilrcn Of the
city that could heardly be dispensed with
and though the funds of the chapter
were low. it was decided to go anead
with the work.
Albert Stoves Jr.. president of the
local organization, presided at the meet
ing, which had been called for the pur-
pose of reaching some decision as TO the
centers. and fourteen of the board we're
present. Ways and means of keeping
up the work were discussed, and it was
decided TO appeal TO one Of the lead
ing mems clubs Of the city TO sponsor
the health work. At present the two
cpntcrS are in the Collins Gardens and
the MatagOrda street schools, and
trained nurses are in attendance ut all
times TO give expert attention to the
health of the children in the schools
over the entire city free of charge. With
the first of February, instead Of be-
ing closed as it had been decided. they
will be moved to two other schools OF
the city. TO be selected later
