and Sunday. After that. with
the exception Of the Apache Mohawk
grid classic. foot ban here will begin
It's annual fading act.
Today's games, however, carried no
particular importance. Probably the
standout clash was the all-star Capital
City League-National Training School
game, scheduled for pm, on the
school field. Another prominent con-
test was the Palace-DiStrict Grocer tilt
at Silver Spring ut 2:30 pm.
Despite the loss Of Ed Abbey, player
coach, the Hawks are favored to defeat
st. Marys Celtics when they clash Sun
day at 0rimth Stadium. In Hooley

Young Officers Not Eager

n YEW YORK, November Gloon
N siderable dissatisfaction pre-
walls among the younger ON
GERS Of the Army over their al
lotment of tickets for the Navy
foot ball game for the benefit of the
Salvation Army unemployment fund to
be played ut the Yankee Stadium here
December 10.
Tickets are apportioned by the Army
Athletic Association on basis of length
of membership in the association. This
will relegate the youngsters In the serv-
ice attending the Army.Navy game to
perches some place behind the goal,
where a set Of field glasses will permit
them a bird'S-eye view Of what Is going
on out there on the gridiron among the
gladiatorS OF the service teams.
Many q shavetail has not seen his
alma mater 60 into foot ball action
since he was graduated from the acad-
emy-he having been here and there on
business for his Uncle Sam. Back from
the Philippines or Panama, from China,
Hawaii Alaska or one Of the outposts
of the service, he would like a closeup
of what he feels is his team, doing its

Bronx, strikes him as being O mighty
cold spot for an old grad who might
Justly be supposed to have more inter-

Onlccrs Buy Few Seats.
Material results OF the dissat isfaction
10 shown by the fact there have been
calls for but 1000 tickets Of the Army
allotment. With 1900 members. the
normal request would be at least two
each, which would bring the number
to $4,000 easily. It is doubtful II the
close Of the Army sale December 4 will
md the situation greatly improved
since 1t Is believed many Of the younger
members will join the radio audience,
trusting to their ears rather than to
their eyes to reduce distances.
At a meeting Of the o6icials Of the
two academies with the Salvation
Army Committee both Mai. Fleming
and Capt. Cook, graduate managers of
athletics for the schools, turned the
regular service sections over to the
SalvAtionists In order TO realize the
largest possible sum for these choice
positions. Located on the 50-yard
line, the 1900 seats normally held
being sold for $50 each will amount to
something like sec, 900 for the charity
fund.

West Point adheres strictly to the
rule fixed by the offlcial meeting Of all
parties commemorative tickets for each
member of the Army Athletic ASsocia-
ton, two tickets for each cadet aside
from the one he occupies with the corps.
The 1000 tickets already disposed of
ut West Point include 1900 for the

Bannockburn Will Garry On
Despite Golf Courses Need

Tony Sylvester, the club pro, has placed
his golf business on a cash basis, and
Bannockburn is moving along as usual
The notice posted on the bulletin
boards at the club and sent to men,
bers, announcing the meeting Monday
night stated the purposes of the sched-
uled meeting as follows:
% To consider whether the opera
ton of the club be continued or the
affairs of the club wound up.
Cd II the club Is to be continued
to consider whether further loans. If
any, should be authorized.
90 To elect successors to such Of
ficers and members Of the board as may
tender their resignation at such meet
ing, the officers and members of the
board present at the last meeting hav-
ing been unanimous in their opinion
that in line with their wish to promote
the present and future welfare Of the
club and their desire to avoid embar-
rassment, they should afford the club
the opportunity to elect their success
Sors.
This latter step means that many of
the officers and members will present
their designations, which is in line with
any reorganization scheme where the
affairs OF a corporation are turned over
to the stockholders, who hold the same
position as members Of a golf club.
Under one plan, certain changes
would be made In the present golf
course by way of rebuilding of green's
and cutting down Of climbs TO hilltop
greens. On the other a considerable
amount Of money would be spent in en-
tirely rebuilding the course. That is
the problem before Bannockburn. You
may be sure the club will be continued.
In Tony Sylvester's golf shop, Tony
points with pride TO long wooden slab
in which are stuck samples Of every va
riety OF artificial tee on the market. S.
Douglas Gibson, a member Of the club
for many years, Is the enthusiast who
has gathered these tees, painstakiugiy
bored holes for them in a board and
then presented them to Sylvester. There
are nearly 100 different types of tees
represented and Gibson says he may
have missed q few.

In one respect they were at a dis
advantage, compared with the con-
testants in the Blick tournament. With
as many as 10 shooting on two alleys,
the old-time stake shooters were taken
of the gauge by long waits. The boys
tomorrow likely will be seldom of the

ment.

JUST by way of giving golf and
the Bannockburn Golf Club a
boost on this day devoted to the
giving of thanks, We should like
to talk about what we have learned
concerning the alleged impasse in which
it is claimed the club finds itself. In
the first place, the situation, we are
told, is not nearly as bad as first ac-
counts would have it appear. Bannock-
burn is by no means in as bad flnan-
cial condition as the pessimists fear.
Current accounts to be collected will
leave the club owing but compare
lively small amount, not more than a
few thousand dollars, instead of the
many thousands at which the first &C
counts placed the Indebtedness Of the
club.
In the second place there Is little
likelihood that Bannockburn as a club
will not continue to exist after the
members gather at $3.50 o'clock next
Monday evening to discuss the club af-
fairs. Bannockburn has too many
loyal members, too many men who are
willing to go down in their jeans to
help the organization, to permit such a
fine club to go out of existence. You
can put it down in your little book that
Bannockburn will be doing business
next year, and at the old stand out
there among the hills overlooking the
Potomac, even though you may not
climb to the top of some of those hills
as you have in other years chasing an
Grant golf ball.
The real question to be decided next
Monday night, according to those in the
know, Is a clean and open settlement
as to just what is to be done about the
golf course of the club. All agree that
something should be done, that the
situation regarding the course is not at
all good. and that the club is at the
parting of the ways, figuratively speak
ing. on what shall be done about the
golf course.
Drought Has Hurt Course.
The drought of the past season has
played its part in this matter, and other
factors have entered into it, chiefly the
attempt OF some members to have
the course modernized at a cost of
something like $4,000. The real issue
before the members, we learn, is not
whether the club affairs shall be wound
up. but whether the putting greens on
the golf course shall be reconstructed,
and certain changes made at a cost Of
about $4,000, or Bannockburn shall
embark on a grand scheme of entirely
rebuilding It's golf course under the
plan proposed by Charles H. Banks
That, in a nutshell Is the meat Of
the affair. according to those on the
inside. That Bannockburn will continue
as a golf club is certainty, they say.
Meanwhile, the beard of governors Of
the club has ordered that the reStaur-
ant be established on a cash basis, re-
placing the customary signing of chits

STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE

Winter rules" permits teeing the bali
on turf within q club length of the spot
where 1t comes to rest, and this 10 the
Interpretation usually invoked.
It Is good enough for all practical
purposes, but players have been known
to stray to spot two or three yards
away, giving them a clear shot at the
hole, or take q ball from Q hanging
lie to o nat spot. Is that right and
ethical? We do not think so, when
the true spirit Of the game depends that
the ball be played wherever it lies, UNI
der any and all circumstances. At the
washington Club the Golf Committee
recommends that wooden tees be used
in the fairwayS, condition that arose
during the drought from the burned
out fairways. That condition, we be-
heve, now has been removed. At an
other club, certain players interpret
Winter rules" to mean teeing the bali
everywhere except in q hazard, imply
ing that no penalty should be paid for
o shot that strays of the line into the
rough. The best course Is TO play the
ball as 1t lies. particularly now that the
courses are in fairly good condition.

BIG LEAGUE CHIEFS
FAVOR ITS ERASURE
Change IN Base Ball Code
Likely to Be Made at
December Session.
BY SAM MURPHY,
The Old Scout.

n JEW YORK, November n
M (C.P.A0. - President John
1 Y A. Heydler of the National
League declared today that
he favors the elimination Of the
fly ball sacrifice rule.
Several weeks ago President
Ernest Barnard Of the American
League announced he advocated
a change in the rule, and now
that the heads of the two major
leagues agree on the point 1t is
probable that the members of the
Rules Committee will make the
change In the playing code ut
their meeting to be held in this
city a few days after the Joint
conference Of American and Ma
tional League club owners.
The Joint session will be held here
on December IL. The National IAaeI,e
magnates will hold their annual meet.
Ing December ., and the American
Leaguers will go into session the fol-
lowing day.
It Is President HeydIer's opinion that
the second paragraph Of section of
rule 05 should be lifted from the play-
Ing code. It reads as follows:
"A sacrifice hit shall be credited 70
a DatSman who. when no one Il out.
or when but one man Is out, hits q
ny ball that Is caught, but results IN
base runner advancing on the catch,
or would, in the Judgment Of the
scorer, so result II caught: but no dis
tinction shall be made in the sum-
mary as between hunted or ny ban
sacrifices"
Heydler, like Barnard, Is not In favor
Of crediting q batsman with q sacrifice.
no matter If he happens 70 score
base runner with an outfield out. The
president of the National League Il Of
the opinion that o sacrifice should be
credited to q batsman only when he
advances Q base runner with an inten-
tional hunt.
VIII Decrease Averages.
II the change IN the sacrifice ny rule
Is made by the Rules Committee the
number of times at bat credited to
each hitter viii be increased and bat
ting averages viii decrease all down
the line. Over . seasons play every
batter may lose from 10 to 40 points
in his average.
The Playing Rules Committee, which
will consider the change favored BY
Heydler and Barnard, win be COM
posed Of Commissioner Lands, three
representatives from each major league
and q representative Of the National
Association, the body which takes In
all Of the minor leagues.

GONzAGA, EASTERN
EMBATTLED HERE
Tech, Western, Georgetown
Prep Play AWay-Emerson,
Dewitt Rated No. I.
By EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.

"OOT BALL for schoolboy
r. teams of the District area
is making its last stand to-
day. Gonzaga and Tech
may meet December 5 If details
can be arranged, but no other
games aside from this are in pros
pect.
In contests today Eastern was
to entertain Gonzaga in the East
ern Stadium, Tech was at Manas-
sas to face Swavely, Western had
an engagement with Staunton
Military Academy at Staunton,
Va, and Georgetown Prep was to
try conclusions with Iona Prep at
New Rochelle, N. Y.
Though there were only compare
lively few outstanding teams this year
among the District scholastics most OF
the elevens were up to standard.
In the public high group Tech,
which again won the championship, was
in class by itself.
Two Strongest Teams.
Dewitt and Emerson were doubtless
the strongest teams in the prep school
whirl. Which was the stronger Is a
matter of speculation, since they did not
meet. They probably would have waged
q great scrap had they faced. Incl
dentally schoolboy fans here would be
tickled to see Dewitt and Emerson meet
annually on the gridiron. There is a
real rivalry between the schools ana
each generally has a strong team.
Among the public high schools East
ern which finished second to Teen In
the title set, showed well. Central had
q disappointing season, while Western
and Business failed to get anywhere.
st. Johns Rated Third.
Aside from Dewitt and Emerson the
leading team in the prep school group
was st. Johns which had one OF the
best elevens in the annals Of the in
. stitution. Gonzaga did rather well IN
view of the large number OF inexperl-
enced players on its squad. Georgetown
Prep had a creditable season. Landon
had good record considering 1t was
only its second season on the grldlron
and st. Adams did not d. so bad. Ma
tional Training School for Boys, repre-
scented for the first time in the great
Autumn sport, did unusually well.
woodward had an unsuccessful season.
Is Dunbar was supreme among the COL
ored schoIastics, winning both the Dis
trict and South Atlantic titles.

r. RANK X. ROESCH. the District
- champion, nnds little difference
in playing the new ball. Frank
tried the bigger and lighter pellet
out at Washington, giving 1t about as
thorough a test Tuesday as it could
have. What with cold and high winds,
the bigger ball got q good test. Frank
found he could knock 1t nearly Is far
as the old ball, except against the wind,
and that it sat down on the green's very
well, even though they were fairly fast
to pitch to.
Frank has been picking on Dave
Thomson, the Washington pro, for the
past few weeks, with Indifferent sue
cess. Davie is known around Washing
ton as somewhat Of o miracle worker,
particularly with the putter. A couple
Of days ago Dave put q brassie shot on
the eighteenth green outside of RoeSch'S
shot and holed the putt for birdie 3
to win the match.
WHAT an ironic trick nature has
w pulled on golf around the Capitall
Just as Winter rules usually be-
come worth while, what with hard green's
and Winter conditions, enough rain falls
to put the courses In the best condi-
ton they have been In for months.
Winter rules no longer are an absolute
necessity, as they were during most
of the Summer, but they are being
played just the same.
And by the way, what Is your con-
ception of the term winter rules? In
our judgment they simply mean that
the ball IS to be lifted from the turf
and placed on the nearest convenient
turf Of grass. It Is not to be lifted
away from tree or other obstacle and
not taken from . hanging lie to q nat
spot. In ether words, according to far
better authorities than Us, including
none other than Bob Jones, too much
abuse is made Of the license permitted
Under Winter rules.
