GOLF GREENS BODY
WILL MEET FRIDAY
Congressional Club to Bid
for 1882 Woman's Title
Play at Gathering.

TIME formal program Of the United
States Coli Association green's
section meeting in New York on
January 10 will be limited to
one session rather than the two or
three sessions which usually mark such
meetings. The green's section gathering
VIII be held at the Biltmore Hotel at
I O'Clock Friday afternoon, January 10.
speakers Will include DR.. Karl F. KEEL
lerman Of Washington, associate chief
OF the Bureau Of Plant Industry and
father Of one Of the best amateurs ever
developed around the Capital: Prof.
F. H. Hillman of the Department of
Agriculture a recognized world author
ity on grass culture and seed identifi-
cation; Cornelius s. Lee Of New York
and DR.. T. p. Hinman of Atlanta.
The formal program can be limited
to a single session, the announcement
OF the green's section says, because of
two successful meetings held during the
past Summer-one at the Arlington
Turf Garden and the other at Chicago.
OF major interest to golfers about
Washington will be the bid to be made
by the Congressional Country Club for
the woman's national championship in
1882. Congressional already has q bid
in for the event, and will be active, it
is understood, in the bidding for the
Woman's event for 1882, at the meeting,
The tourney already is promised to the
Pacific Coast for 1880 and to Buffalo
for 1881. Congressional has been busy
putting its course in shape so that if
its bid is entertained and O committee
visits the layout near Rockville during
the coming season for inspection pur-
poses 1t will present favorable ap-
pearance. Announcement of the award
of the woman's championship usually
Is made more than year in advance,
and the club is given a small sum CT
money for work on the course. This
money, however, seldom goes far to-
ward defraying the expenses Of the
tournament.
In past years it has been customary
for several local clubs to send repre-
sentatives to the meetings of the
United States Golf Association and it
is likely that Columbia and Washington
again will be represented this year by
their green's committee chairmen and
course supervisors.

Shed Excess Weight to Better
Your Golf, Advises Cruicks1lank

fine golfer In Minneapolis and many
times State champion, was set on win
ming the national amateur when it was
played at his home course, Mime
khada. He trained all Winter, getting
of weight and putting himself In the
best physical condition he could achieve.
When the tournament started he was in
splendid shape and went along, defeat
ing George Won Elm, among others, be-
fore being put out. If Legg had been
20 pounds heavier don't believe he
would have made nearly so brilliant a
showing.
Throughout my career the same state
OF affairs has been evidenN. When

line simply can't play the sort of golf
really am capable Of
Bobby Jones has found the same
thing is true. So has Cyril Tolley, who
came over this past year thinner than
he had been for many seasons and
showed America some marvellous golf
There isn't any doubt am right. and
1t isn't necessary to go on citing eX-
amples.
Taking OF weight has become one of
Americas major pastimes. People are
beginning to find that it really Isn't so
difficult If ones desires are backed up
with little will power. Cutting down
on starches and sweets can't help but
have a beneficial effect.
I'm serious when say that the
smaller the waistline the better the golf.
Fat gets into the muscles. You don't
have the ease and smoothness Of phys
ical action. There are exceptions. of
course, but then there are exceptions
to everything in the world. Look over
the field in any first-class tournament
Doesn't the number OF lean stars out
number the fat ones?
SO again say: Fat is one of the
major troubles Of those who aspire to
success on the links. Get rid of 1t.

ALONG THE WATERFRONT
BY carroll KLOTZBACH-

disparaging words and unfortunately
may not quote the average Boatiac on
the subject, profanity being barred from
these pages.
The park board is welcome to the
following suggestion for nothing If they
will but use it: Drive pilings along the
park wall within the present limits OF
the small boat anchorage, charge a
small fee for upkeep and to retire origi-
nal cost, and improvement around the
boatyards on the other side will take
care Of itself. AS it stands there is no
competition and most of the boatyard
owners merely lease frontage, drive an
occasional piling and collect the rental
No investment, little effort and a Gus
toner that can't help himself makes a
sweet graft for the few having leases
on waterfront properties. The general
attitude seems to be that If you want
service, dock, parking space, walk
way or locker-why, just pay for 1t
and we will install 1t.
The lease situation is largely respon-
sible for this condition, no firm caring
to make any heavy investment on a
property on which only short-term
lease is available. And taking the con-
dition of many of the properties into
account the rentals thereon verge on
the ridiculous. The District should make
a money gift along with the lease in
stead Of charging rent for these sites
The water front needs an association
and Grundy.
VISITING around at the Maryland
v Club a week ago furnished a So
luton to the problem. There the
club is located on land furnished by the
city known as Broening Park. Clubs
in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle,
AZ
mttted the same privilege and flourish
under such conditions These clubs
have large accommodations for boats
and members, fees and rates are rea-
sonable, and they have become the
most prominent recreational centers of
these cities.
1t is observed, however, that these
cities do not have such a multiplicity
OF small clubs as exists here. The boat
men have amalgan.ated into single or
large organizations that are capable of
big things without severely taxing the
memberships. This is the day of the
merger, how about a merger of the
boatmen here in Washington? The
Corinthian Club has the plan and place
for the development Of similar insti-
tuition to that at Baltimore. A large
membership would hasten its consum-
nation. All that is needed is a little
herding together for the common good.
AS It stands now, no club here Is suf-
ficiently powerful financially and nu-
merically to accomplish a great deal.
How about pooling Of cash and ability
to the end of creating a real boating
center worthy of the name?
The Maryland Club numbers 900. A
similar club here could pass that figure
Why can't 1t be done? Now Is the time
There is room on BuZZards Point for
all, the location is the best available,
the stage is set; how about some actors?
And how about little discussion OF
the above idea? If you have anything
to say on the subject, for or against,
make your observations short and
snappy and we shall try to air them in
this column. Mail them In.

effective date Of use Of the stand
ard golf ball, the larger and lighter
ball which will supplant the present
ball by edict Of the United States Golf
Association. The new ball will officially
become the standard ball on January

many golfers are under the delusion
that it ha .ready become the standard
ball for play. Manufacturers have made
the new standard ball available in guam

played now. 1t is slightly shorter from
the tee than the Jack rabbit" ball now
in use, but more than makes up for
the slightly leSsened distance by its
quality Of better control through the
fairway and improved putting.
Yesterday we watched j. Munro Hunter,
the siege gun of Indian Spring, knock
few balls out in practice. Among the
lot were two or three of the new stand
ard-sized balls, and 1t was noticeable
that they did not carry as far as the
smaller and heavier ball. Nor was there
any question that when any kind OF

GARDEN HOLDS BAG
ON MIAMI BATTLE
CampoIo- Camera Encounter
Possibility as Sharkey
Proves BaIky.
BY EDWARD J. NEIL
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ny EW YORK, January 4.-Mr.
M Finnegan of mythical "On
agin'. of agtn' fame. has the
full sympathy of William F..
Carey and, in fact, the entire per-
sonnet of Madison Square Garden.
A year ago this time Tex Rickard,
founder Of the palace of clout. was dy-
ing in Miami, Fla, and along with him
the dream Of an open-air heavyweight
battle In the Summer sunshine of the
South was passing away. The great
promoter died, but liberal application
of the ballyhoo pulmotor. when plans
were "off agin', on agin'," finally saved
the show.
Today Carey, Richards successor at
the garden HEINZ finds himself with
the second annual battle of the palms
threatening to expire at any moment
on his hands. Instead of having two
heavyweight contenders, eager to battle
for title recognition in Miami February
q, Bill is certain only that he has
vacant arena down there, with $4,000
seats and small prospects Of filling
them.
Wont Fight GrifithS.
Carey returned from Boston today
after seeing Jack Sharkey and his
family OF for a Winter vacation In
Miami with no assurance that the
Boston heavyweight would combine
business with pleasure as the chief
figure in the big show. Sharkey will
not fight Tuffy Grifiths, the garden
nominee, despite the option Carey holds
On his services unit March is.
Phil Scott, whom Sharkey would like
b. de- DO, Vxyifh
tention himself of boxing in America
again until next Summer. Victoria
Campolo from the Argentine is still de-
layed en- route to the States and he
hasn't been approached on the subject.
Sharkey insists that his days OF ELM
mating this and that heavyweight are
over, that from now on he will fight
only recognized title contenders. Scott,
Campolo and Sharkey are the three
men the New York Athletic Commits
sion says must fight it out for Gene
Tunney's vacant throne.
However, the garden doggedly insists
that there will be major heavyweight
fight In Miami February q and that
Sharkey will have definite bearing on
the title chase. The best tip is that
Sharkey will box Campolo whether the
garden likes 1t or not.
Carnera Enters Picture.
The gigantic figure of Primo Camera,
the ambling Alp from Italy, doomed
into the picture today as a possible
opponent for Campolo on the Miami
card, although his horde of managers
frankly fail to warm to the prospect of
such stiff opposition so early in the
giants flstic career.
Camera proved 70 the satisfaction of
all today that he Is in no danger of
deportation through passport difficulties.

P|VOT'S
ADVANTAGE IS CUT
Center Can't Catch His Own
Tap-off Under New Rule.
Changes Speed Game.
by FORREST c. cPHoG~ ALLEN

by FORREST c. c"PHOGD ALLEN.
A LOT of ginger has been injected
" into this great game Of basket
a ball by the joint rules COM
a mittee.
This significant work was ef-
fected by changes in this years playing
code which are bound to produce un-
precedented speed and action.
Outstanding among the changes were
minimizing the advantage of the tall
center at tip-off and elsewhere; the
ruling against the front pivot, hip
crash block when the dribbler is in
motion; the approval of the double
referee system Of oficiating and the
after foul when field goal has been
scored.
JUMPERS at center or elsewhere will
be forbidden to touch the ball after
1t has been tapped one or more
times until it has touched the floor or
one of the other eight players.
1t was agreed that the spirit of the
rule included the basket and bank board
as well as the floor and other eight
players.
Heretofore a tall center could tin the
ball behind him and catch it, thus CIV
hAS AAAo OPpOtiClllo q 4cSScI advantage IN
playing the ball than they now have.
A CCORDING to a general agreement
"A the rules committee has put It's
approval upon the following pivot
or running with the ball rule:
A player who is in motion when he
receives the ball may not make a pivot
on the front foot. He may take one
step, but must pivot on the rear foot
only. This nullif1es the so-called pivot
and block play that has caused so much
discussion. The pivoter, by blocking
the guard out with his hips and shout
ders and then passing the ball to q
trailing team mate, contributes to q
definite contact foul.
The chief argument against this play
Is that it Is primarily designed as
contact blocker" However, it Is Dos
siole to make a front pivot and no foul
But the pivoter must use the same eau
ton as does a dribbler. He must 20
clearly around this opponent without
contact.
IN the double referee system of ON
ciating, the umpire, whose duties
heretofore were somewhat limited,
Is now given authority practically iden-
teal to that Of the referee.
WHEN player has been fouled in
w the act Of shooting, the ball must
go to center after the second free
thu Nv, If the field goal is made. If the
field goal is missed, the old rule holds,
viz. the ball Is in play II the last free
throw is missed.

peded free movement Of the torso and

There is no doubt excess weight
hampers free swinging. and can say
from very definite personal experience
that any one who wants to be a good
golfer should reduce his waistline, then
watch the strokes drop on.
