Apt to Boost Gate.

PRACTICALLY, 1t might Rave the
effect of increasing the gate take
at the open, for certainly: a lot of
oldtime golfers would come o9t to see
how the links heroes of two, decades
ago fare with the leaders of today.
Here is how the natiorIai open
championship has been won over the
last "a years: 1907, Alex Ross; 1908,
Fred Mcleod; 1909, George Sargent;
1910, Alex Smith; 1911-12, John j.
McDermott; 1913, Francis Ouimet;
1914, 1919, Walter c. Hagen; 1915, Je-
rome D. Travers: 1916, Charles Evans,
jr.; no championship played during
1917 and 1918; 1920, Ted Ray; 1921,
James M. Barnes; 1922 and 1882,
Gene Sarazen; 1923, 1926, 1929 and
1880, Robert Tyre Jones, ir.; 1924,
Cyril Walker; 1925, Willie MacFar-
lane; 1927, Tommy Arnotr; 1928,
John Farrell; 1881, Billy Burke; 1888,
John Goodman; 1884, Olin rutra.
Actually the group who would take
advantage of automatic qualification
would be small. In all probability the
list would include only Mcleod, Ha-
gen, SaraZen, Walker, MacFarlane,
Armour, Farrell, Burke, Goodman and
possibly Ouimet.
The present champion always is
eligible.
But what boon it would he to the
former champions who miss the first
80 in the open championship and face
the ordeal of sectional qualification
the following year, men like; Tommy
Armour, for example, who will have
to qualify this year.

NEW YORK, February 13.-The
~ second day Of the show sees
Washington dogs forging to the
front. A notable win in hotly con-
tested class was that of the Dickshund
Cids Stein Song of Jonedith, who won
the fist puppy ribbon. Another was
that Of the Dandie Dinmont terrier All
Spice of the Ark of Ruppcote, who
went to winners bitch, defeating some
Of the best dandies in the country.
In whippets the Meander Kennels

The honors with best of breed went
to Meander Kennels Sandbrunette.
Sergt. Maj. Proctor's Airedale Lady
Marinette took fourth place in the
Americana bitches, as did Mrs.

breed. by the way, has about doubled
it's entry at the Garden this year.
L. N. Sherburne's English setter
puppy, D. C. Major. took third prize
in a class of IS good dogs.
Many of the breed clubs held an
nual meetings to decide club policies.

Move for Amateur Popular.

r Asst year the U. S. G. A. en-
nounced new policy of making
all former champions eligible for
the national amateur title tilt without
qualification The new policy struck
a popular chord in the public mind,
bringing to the championship group
OF old-timers who might not have
qualified under the sectional system.
And now the same policy is du6 for
the national open, to bring to; the
championship group of the old guard
who might not make the grade in
these days of sitter competition,
Although. at first blush, it sounds
as if it might greatly increase the
entry list, actually such policy would
not act that way at all, for fewer: than
a score of former champions would
play in the title tourney under the
new scheme.
For example, Bobby Jones, who won
four national open Journeys N the
years between 1922 and 1890. no
longer Is a championship CONTESTANT;
Alex Smith, who won in 1910, is dead;
John J. McDermott, the 1871 and
1912 winner, is out of the game, in a
sanitarium in New Jersey; Gene Sara
zen was a repeater in 1922 ana 1882,
and Walter Hagen also was a tepeater
in 1914 and 1919.
