That American tourist travel to
Italy is breaking all former rec
ords this year IS the statement of
steamship officials, interested in
Mediterranean passenger service,
and the indications are that this
increase in travel will continue
throughout; the winter and we'll
into the spring and summer.
Italy, in the past few years, has
taken on another and newer aspect
for Americans, For centuries it
has been recognized as the play
ground Of Europe but IN the past
decade 1t has become the fashion
able resting place for the whole
world. While titles may mean
nothing to the world at large and
to citizens Of the United States in
particular. they do mean some
thing when they attract the most
fashionable people Of every Euro
pean country to winter at the
same resorts. Since American So
clety has taken Cn a decidedly in
ternatlonal cast 1t is the regular
thing for the social leaders here

HIGGINS To PUT
BAN ON GOLF
FOR YANkS
Midget Manager Thinks Ruth's
influenza Due to Expo
sure on Links.

Z HOT SPRINGS. Ark, March 3D.
Golf may be banned by Miller
Higgins as a preliminary part of
spring training of the New York
Yankees.
The fact that Everett Scott. the
shortstop who has been playing
the game with plenty of vim and
vigor since he4 arrived in Hot
Springs has developed charlie
horse, has caused Higgins to come
to the belief that the business of
trudging over miles OF hill and
dale is no good stuff for al ball
player so soon after the winter
lay-off.
In addition, Babe Ruth's illness
today from influenza, developed
from exposure on a golf course,
may hasten Higgins decision.
Many of the Yankees are ardent
golfers. They play it in the spring
time and they play it during the
regular, season. Quite frequently
during the last two--years Higgins
connected with the idea that golf
ing might have been, responsible
for some of the bad legs which
developed within the Yankee line
up. The recent mishap to Scott,
due undoubtedly to too much ex-
ertion on the links, may cause the
manager of the American league
champions to order that they stick
their clubs in the golf bag-and
keep them there.
