Coin-Shy England May Pass Up
Walker Cup Golf Play in 1882
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
n YW YORK, November 1s.-Eco-
IN nornic conditions in England
may cause cancellation Of the
1882 Walker Cup matches in
this country, 1t was indicated today by
reports from reliable sources.
Leaders of the game in England are
said to doubt the wisdom Of raising the
large sum necessary to send their best
amateur golfers to this side They fear
the reaction Of the British public would
not be favorable under the circum-
stances.
Possibly as q result Of the uncer-
tainty OF the situation, the Executive
Committee OF the United States Golf
Association is not expected to name the
site and date of the 1882 matches at
its meeting here tomorrow. The asso-
citation has heard nothing from the
British body in regard to its plans. If
England decides to send team the
date for the matches will be set when
the Executive Committee next meets, in
January.
Only one matter of Importance is
scheduled to come before tomorrow's
meeting-the approval of a ball de-
signed to please the country's golfers

TIME world is made up of skeptics,
who believe only what they see
and take with a grain of salt
the tales of mighty deeds OF
other men-particularly golfers.
Gathered in the professionals shop
at Indian Spring yesterday were three
famous golfers. They were Tommy NC
Namara, the little Boston Irish-Amer-
ican, who finished second in the open
championship back in 1913, and was
a formidable figure as 3 golfer two
decades back; Harry X. B. Davis, the
old-time California champion, who used
to be one Of the longest hitters OF
golf ball in the amateur ranks, and
still Is whenever he plays, and J. Monro
Hunter, the big slugger OF Indian
Spring.
The subject turned to long hitting
and how far a golf ball can be hit.
THE boys put on show 2 years ago
at Pinehurst,'' Tommy said They
were driving for cash prize down the
first fairway at the number 2 course,
and the longest drive hit by any of
them carried exactly 100 yards. Driv-
ing machines and human machines to
the contrary think that 200 yards Is
an awful big carry for golf ball. under
favorable conditions"
Harry Davis pointed to yarn re-
Gently written by Grantland Rice in
which Granny" told of a conversation
he had with Bob Jones. The former
world champion, according to Rice,
stated that a carry of $50 yards Is the
absolute limit to which q golf ball may
be struck by a human being. 1T
may 60 ats yards from the driving ma
chine" Bobby said, but the machine
hits harder than human being can
possibly hit"
Monroe Hunter stood thinking and
smiling. Finally he said, Tommy,
have you got some of your balls with
you?" Mcnamara is a golf ball sales
mani.
Yes" said Tommy" and I've got
some good one. brought them here
for Harry to needle"

we'll see how far We can make them

Then We saw it. Standing behind

CLUB OWNERS FAIL
TO G|BE ON HICKEY
Enter Second Round of Tiff
Over Future of American
Association Head.
By the AsSociatcd Press

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 18.-The battle
ever whether Thomas j. Hickey shall
continue as president of the American
Association today went into its second
round, with Hickey apparently leading.
A three-hour secret session of club
owners yesterday failed to produce a
decision, and it was reported that the
magnates were deadlocked at four votes
for Hickey and four for an opposition
candidate, probably George Belden of
Minneapolis. The situation was the
same year ago at Montreal and Hickey
was reelected for one year. Unless a
shift in the voting lineup should occur
today, it was expected he would be
named for another year at least.
Before going into the presidential
problem yesterday the owners voted to
reduce the number of games for the
little world series" from nine games to
seven, with the players sharing in the
receipts of the first four games, instead
of the first five. The new arrangement
requires the agreement of the Interna-
GIUlldl hCdRuC, WAtA1 WAAASAA bAAS 1NAANo ~
played each year.
Toledo Status Quo.
"A long discussion over what to do
about the Toledo club got nowhere.
The club now is in the hands OF
receiver and the park is heavily
mortgaged. Commissioner Kenesaw
Mountain Lands was called in to
advise on the problem and did so in
secret. Bankruptcy has been sug-
geSted as a solution. Ray Schalk, for
mer White SoX catcher and manager,
and more recently a coach for the
Cubs, was reported to be interested in
the purchase of the Toledo franchise.
1t also was decided to prohibit the
practice of optioning or loaning play
ers to clubs within the league.
From a dependable authority it was
learned there would be shake-up in
the Minneapolis club. Mike Kelley, for
many years manager of the Millers,
is to become president, succeeding
George Belden, and DOME Bush, for
mer manager OF the Pittsburgh Ma
tional League Club and the Washing
ton and Chicago clubs of the Ameri-
can League, will replace Kelley.

ANSAS CITY November 10
X The Amateur Athletic Union of
the United States wound up its
forty-third annual convention
here yesterday after effecting an accord
with the Y. NJ. c. A. and arranging e.
1882 sports calendar to fit in generally
with plans for the Olympic games at
Los Angeles next year
Avery Brundage of Chicago was
elected to his fourth term as president
OF the A. A. u. and Daniel j. Ferris OF
New York was named secretary treasurer
for the fifth consecutive year.
The Olympic Track and Field and
Swimming Committees, meeting in con-
nection with the A. A. U. convention,
completed recommendations which will
be acted upon by the Executive Com
mittee of the American Olympic Asso-
citation at New York November 20. The
alliance with the Y. M. c. A. is a
basis Of friendly and active co-opera-
ton" which will allow athletes of either
organization to enjoy equal standing in
both.
Expected to End Strife.
The cooperative plan is expected to
end the strife that has existed between
the two bodies for many years
ConfereeS provided for elimination OF
the fourth round in amateur boxing
bouts under A. A. u. sponsorship. Here
after, judges and referee must reach
decision-not draw-after the third
round. The rules formerly provided
that II a draw resulted after three
rounds, the boxers should decide the
match in an extra round.
An T,-fUnn hurdle Of6aioi1v
adopted to replace the inverted-T
hurdle. The new barrier was described
as an improvement in that, when
knocked over, it falls without a for
ward rise and thus reduces the danger
of tripping.
Several A.. A. U. National cham
pionship events in 1882 will also be
tryouts for the United States Olympic
teams. The union suggested that 1882
championships adopt the metric meas
urementS whenever feasible in order
To Chop Up Medals.
The convention approved elimina-
ton of added competition to determine
who should receive the gold, silver and
bronze medals in cases of ties or dead
heats. If two are tied for first place
the gold and silver will be cut and
SpllCeQ anu BOlO-SllVSr HleQal awarded
each In case of a three-way tie the
medals will be pieced together from
thirds of the gold, silver and bronze
All nominees of the caucus were
elected unopposed Besides the presi-
dent and secretary-treasurer they in
clude: First vice president, Sam Good
man, San Francisco second vice presi-
dent, Martin A. Klein, New York, presi-
dent of the Metropolitan Association
of the A. A. u; third vice president,
Charles L. Ornstein, New York: fourth
vice president, Jack Rafferty,, Houston,
Tex.
The 1892 convention was awarded
New York by a unanimous vote after
the bid of Chicago was withdrawn.

Tony'S Two Crowns at Stake

N YEW YORK, November 10
m Glass will tell, but you
i Y can't predict the outcome
of the coming lightweight
championship duel between Tony
Canzoneri and Kid Chocolate on
that basis. They both have it.
Canzoneri, at 26, already has
held three ring titles-feather-
weight, lightweight and junior
welterweight. The latter two he
still holds and both will be at
stake when he and Chocolate
clash over the 15-round route in
Madison Square Garden Friday
night.
Chocolate. "a years old. first gained
national recognition in this country as
bantamWe!ght, but he quickly out
grew the division and for some time
was regarded as the uncroWned king
of the featherweights. That was until
he battled Christopher CBat) Battalino
for the 126-pound title and took a
beating for his pains. Just before that
disaster the Cuban Negro flash had
been beaten by both Jack kid Berg
and Fidel La Barba, and the boxing
fraternity believed he had burned him.

But the "Keed" came back with a
rush, stopped Benny Bass at Philadel-
phia to win the slightly synthetic jun
ior lightweight championship and now
is challenging for the not-at-all syn
thetic lightweight crown.
The odds-if there be any offered
probably will favor CanZoneri on two
countS-first, in the theory that it's
best to string along with the champion,
and, secondly, on the score that of the
two Tony is the more rugged.

is no way Of telling how much he had

Then, when someone allowed as how
person could hardly have time to
improve, the Columbia manager made
the statement that in a year or less, a
beginner, If he rolled enough, could be

ID OWLING, in my opinion" to quote
- Lonnie, lis the easiest of all
sports to become a star in. In
the first place it is almost entirely me-
chanical. And then there's no defense
in bowling. Every othsr spcrt requires
a defense against the other fellows at
tsck-boxing, foot ball, base ball, basket
ball, tennis-but in bowling you shoot
your score and your opponent shoots
his. If he's gonna make a spare or
strike you can't stop him. Even golf
has a defense, even il it's only stymie.
That's why I say anybody who has
never rolled or never rolled much can
be star in a year, providing he can
throw ball down an alley and has
patience.
why, If was to start now in the
game, I'd be as good in six months as
ever will be-"
All of which may be sad and dis
heartenlng news for some boWlerS who
had hopes Of inheriting all the worries
of the star but who has been longer
than year in reaching the star class.
But there have been exceptions, too.
