Six Days of Match PLAY,

r INDER the new amateur plan %
sectional qualifying tournaments
throughout the country August 21
will produce the field that will start
18-hole match play with the opening
of the 1884 championship at Brookline.
Mass, September TO- All former cham
pions "in good standing" automatically
are included amorg the 180 certified for
match play
In all. six rounds of 18-hole match
play will be staged the first four days
of the tournament proper, with the
semi-finalS and finals scheduled for 36
holes the last two days of the competi-
ton, September IA and Is. On the
opening day the field will be balanced
for the succeeding play by rs byes and
104 participants in first round matches,
one round Of 81 matches will be played
the second day, two rounds on both the
third and fourth days, reducing the field
to four semi-finaliSts.
This marks the first change in the
tournament proper since 1925, when the
match play field was limited to l6 top
Aualifers. Because of widespread pro-
PESTS the match play field was restored
Vo 80 the following year and has re-
manned at that number since

Similar to British Plan.

The new system differs from that un-
der which the British amateur is staged
only in sectional qualifying and the
length of the semi final matches. In
the British amateur play there are no
qualifying rounds of any kind, and the
contestants play 18-hole matches
Straight through to the final round,
which goes SO holes.
[ Agitation for such a change has per-
lsisted in official golfng circles for some
, time and was increased last year by
the failure of many prominent anna
steurs, headed by Ouimet himself, to
EQUALITY in the sectional play Don Moe
tpf Portland, Greg, former Walker Cup,
was another who lost out despite good
score Subsequently, in the tournament
qualifying rounds such stars as Jess
fSweetser, George Voigt and Jesse Gull
ford, all with international regulations,
were eliminated
A change also was made in condi-
tions under which the public links
championship will be played at Pitts
burgh. with 64 qualifying for match
play instead of 80, as in the past, and
an extra day added to the length of
the tournament. Entries from each
city will be limited to five, instead OF
six. The tournament probably will be
opened July % and end August 4.

New Blood Fills Walker Cup Golf Team

The three survivors Of the 1882
team. besides Capt. Ouimet, are
George T. Dunlap. jr., of New York,
the new amateur king; Jack West
land OF Chicago, and Gus Moreland
Of Dallas.
The makeup Of the team which
will go abroad this Spring to play
the British at st. Andrews in May
follows general expectations. The
only name missing which had been
mentioned Is that of Jack Munger,
18-year-old Dallas star, who tri-
umphed over two of those selected,
Egan and Westland, in reaching the
semi-finals of the 1888 national
amateur tournament. Munger's CON-
parative inexperience, otherwise, and
the fact he still is a schco,boy
with plenty Of time TO earn o Walker
Cup perth, apparently Influenced
the decision not to put him on this
yeats team.

siderable protest and the Nebras-

AS a matter of fact it isn't so
much what Baer does on the boards
as the way he does it that is likely
to impress patrons Of the Fox Thea
ter's current bill.
Not even the late Gentleman
Jim" Corbett could wear his clothes
as well as does Max and from the
ease with which he handles himself
one would imagine the business was
an old story with him instead Of
being brand-new.
Like Jack Dempsey, his fistic idol
and pilot in chief of his ring career,
Baer has second tenor voice
that seems incongruous emanating
from such an ample frame, nut it
acquires resonance via the loud
speakers for his songs.
What little shutting he does Is
accomplished gracefully enough,
again considering his 200-plus dis
placement and, with an experienced
trouper furnishing the cues and act
ing as buffer the banter is smoothly
disposed of.
Equipped with an infectious smile
that radiates an unaffected boyish
good humor Baer presents pleas
ing figure, the most outstanding
feature of which is his amazing
poiSe.
Should he carry a comparable de-
gree of self-assurance into the ring
when, and if, he faces Carnera for
the heavyweight title Max will rate
plenty Of support, but its our hunch
he will need all that and then some,
in addition to long stretch OF the
most rigorous sort of training.
THAT new" base ball the

with next season, after more
than three decades of bicker-
ing on the subject, really will
be new only to the circuit
bossed by New York'S Giants,
for it is practically the same
apple the GriffS have been en-
ploying for many seasons.
1t is far different from the sphere
such old timers as Delahanty. Cobb,
Crawford, Veach and Jackson had
to contend with in their heyday,
however, for it contains the ''rab-
