G Merely Deal in Chicago Giants Are Seeking New
Meeting OF U. S. G. A.
LIKELY TO BE LIVELY
BY WALTER CAMP.

NEW YORK. DeceUber 6.-Of all
the annual meetings of the various
sport organizations which are i'm
pending, perhaps none will be fol-
lowed by a greater or a more inter
ested crowd than that of the United
( States Golf Association, which con-
venes here January 8.
1t is extraordinary how this sport
has spread to every portion of the
country. 1t was not SO many years
ago that man with a set of golf
clubs was regarded as a dude" and
for some years the real athlete look
ed upon the golfer as a distinctly ef-
Terminate Individual. But even that
game.
Apropos of this coming meeting, 1t
seems very difficult I'm any sport.
when a bugaboo is raised, to persuade
the Legislators that 1t Is only a pump
kin with d lantern In IL, and that
| there Is no need to be alafmed. This
, applies in golf. both to balls and
clubs.
Visions Of the prodigious distance
that improvements in these imple-
ing our timid Legislators for the last
decade: but, worse than that. they
have resulted in many clubs length
ening their COURSES at considerable
expense, with the consequent raising
OF dues because, forsooth, the modern
golf ball was driven by per cent of
the members of that club so far that
they were enabled to score consist
entity under so.
This lengthening Of courses was not
necessary, and il is not necessary
now, for 50 per cent of the average
club membership will not score reg
ularly under 80. and there is no rea-
son to spend fifty to sixty thousand
dollars TO accommodate one man out
Of ten.

Greb's future is filled with action.
After he meets Gene Tunney next
week as challenger for the American

The Pittsburgh windmill Is a pretty
versatile battler. Greb has fought

eager to get the champion In the ring.
Dempsey has not been anxious to
accept the match, because he prefers

OF .wallop, and Greb is not heavy
enough to stand II. Jack was warned
before the Carpenter battle to look

on the prospect of doing ANYTHING
like that.
