dies a Break" By Rule
for Lighter Bags

New York, Jan. .1-(UP)-The u.
3. Golf association today announced
q rule amendment prohibiting use
Of more than ~ clubs after jan. ],
1898.
Three reasons were given for the
change:
1. Relief Of paddles from unfair
burdens.
2. Reduction Of delays In play on
the theory players will spend less
time IN deciding which club 70 use.
.. Give players who cannot AFFORD
an unlimited supply Of clubs an op.
portunity TO compete With others on
o more equal basis.
An intensive study Of sentiment In
the United States and o lengthy
conference with the rules committee
OF the Royal and Ancient Golf club
Of Dt. Andrews, Scotland, ruling
body OF British golf, preceded the
amendment TO U. o. q. A. preamble
which reads:
'sThc game Of golf consists in q
bail being played from the teeing
ground into the hole by successive
strokes with clubs mot exceeding IA
I'm number) and balls made In con-
formity with the directions laid
down In the clause on Form and
Make OF Golf Club and Balls"
The Royal and Ancient club stimuli
taneously announced that the sug-
gestion would be taken up as first
business at the next executive com.
rnittee session, and there seemed lit
tie doubt that the measure would
Z be passed TO take effect one year
from today.
Explaining the amendment, the y
3. q. A. executive committee stated
"The United States Golf association
has noted with concern q growing
increase In the number Of clubs. Ita
inquiries supported Its conclusion
that limiting the number Of clubs
would tend TO restore 10 the game
the individual shot-making skill lost
through the introduction OF an ex-
ccssiye number OF clubs in finely
graduated and matched sets. The
committee felt that multiplicity OF
clubs tended toward mechanization
OF O game one OF whose great vir-
tues lies In the opportunity II af-
fogds for full individual skill. 1t was
felt that players should not buy
their shots In the professionals shop
but should develop skill by their own
effort"

Today's Sport
 Parade
By HENRY McLEMORE
tUnIte6 Press Stan Correspondent

Oakland Hills Country Club, Bir- mingham, Mich, June 12-UP)- My next dispatch may be from the bridal suite in the Birmingham bas- tile. am warning you in advance because today, during the final rounds of the national open golf tournament, expect to conduct an experiment which is highly likely to withdraw me from circulation.
 To quit this dilly -dallying, I am going to shatter the traditions of the ancient and honorable sport by cheering when my man does well and booing when he falters. This is an unheard of practice among the butter poobahS. Golf galleries are gagged. You can yammer and yowl for race horse or a ball team, but nothing but a well-bred silence Is in order among the mashie me- chadaics. I see no reason why, if a party has few potatoes perched on the proboscis of 8 bunker boil weevil, he should not be allowed to express his emotions in the clutch.
 Habit
 After all, fun is fun, but when my dough is at stake I like to protect it in a proper manner. You are al- lowed to croon to pair of dice in a crap game. Nobody thinks it un- seemly if you use little oral per- suasion ond the ball that pebbles around the spinning roulette wheel. By the same token, free. speech

GARDEN AGAIN

New York, June l2 = (UP) - Feeling that "weighty legal author ity" was overlooked and certain pertinent facts" were not taken into consideration when the U. s. Cir cult Court of Appeals refused to halt the Braddock-Louis fight, Madison Square Garden sought a reargument of the case today.
 Regardless of the outcome, the garden intends to sue for damages all persons who induced Champion James J. Braddock to disregard a contract to fight Max Schmeling June 3.
 "A motion for reargument for the appeal is in process" Garden Presi- dent John Reed Fitzpatrick, said. T expect 1t, to come up for hearing very shortly"

 am not quite certain just how I shall operate the McLemore one man cheering and jeering section. If it were match play, it would be push-over. But these open jouStS are medal, and you can't titilate the tonsils screeching for some fairway fuSileer to kick hell out of score board full of neatly penciled figures. guess I'll have to get motor-bike and scoot about the links, giving the Bronx zanzi to such playes as re- quire my attention.
 For instance, if I find that Ralph Guldahl, Jimmy Thomson, Ed Dud- ley or Frank Walsh are menacing my man and threatening to cop that $1,000 purse, shall sneak up be- hind them at crucial moments and unnerve them with such distracting commands as "miss that putt" or "dub that drive" This will be pretty disconcerting, as you can well imagine, and the havoc will be hor- rible. When there is Hull in the carnage, can chug over to my standard bearer and bolster him by bleating, "get hot, Butch," or you're 8 shoo-in, kid" Of course, if my mug boots one, I'll give him both barrels of my scathing sarcasm. He need expect no quarter if he fails me. shall probably upset both friend and foe so that none of them will win and some sable steed will sneak in as Manero did last year.
 Ancient and Odd
 The U. s. c. A. is a crotchety and slightly mildewed outfit. They haven't changed rule since the second bounce was out. They prob- ably won't like the McLemore P-M- c. and J. section. If remember the rules, and I'm sure don't, a sneeze is misdemeanor, a cough is dis orderly conduct, a whistle is felony and loud conversation is good for 99 years with Saturday afternoons off for good behavior. This is based upon the theory that 8 golfer has to concentrate. This is sheer hattery, because I have been around ath- letes for long while, and those who have more to think with than strong and sinewy muscles are not only exceptions, but absolute rari- ties. I am of a mind that what the U. s. c. A. takes for concen- tratio his 50 per cent trophy and the rest fatigue.
 Try and name me one thing any athlete has ever done for civiliza- tion. And when. you've penetrated that pecan's ulster, name me some thing any sports writer has ever done for ditto.

Angles From AgaWan

Apprentice Willard Cook, a 20- year-old boy from Iowa, looks like one of the finest boys now riding in New England. He scored his first win in New Orleons last January and rode IS winners there. He didn't resume riding until the last week at Aurora, when he brought home five winners. Here, he's ridden four win ners-Lady V. ", Traggat, Prairie Prince, and Grandma's Boy. His agent is Ralph Lintini.
 Mrs. J. V. Stewart, only lady trainer at the track, left today to join her husband at Suffolk Downs. With her went Sallandry, Ejector, and Miss Loannah, none of which seemed able to win here.
 The further entries of Epitaph and General A. will be refused un- til they are pronounced fl tby Dr. J. Dwight Pierce, track veterinarian.
 Frank Hawley, custodian of the jockeys room, reports that there are IS apprentice boys and 40 ex- perienced riders here.
 All riders who were suspended for the meeting will be eligible to ac- cept mounts next Tuesday. They in- clude F. A. Smith. who leads the jockeys of the first meeting with five winners.
 The first meeting will oficially end tomorrow night; Monday will be Q day for rest and relaxation; ; and Tues, they will break out in a rash of racing that will last until the 10th of July.

HILLS HOLD KEY TO TITLE HOPES OF THOMAS CLUB
North Enders Can CIinch Strong Lead With Win
 Tomorrow

With the playoff game involving league leadership yet to be played, the North End Thomas Club and Washington Hill clash tomorrow afternoon at Hamilton Park as- sumes added importance because a win for the Thomas Club can put them "on top of the world" with the Hearts to be played later, after two wash-outs. On the other hand, should the Hills put on another "giant-killing act" for the second successive Sunday and take over the Tommies a two-way tie for the lead will again be the situation and the winner of the playoff game having the Hills to beat for the championship.
 Green vs. Grady
 All of which indicates that Man. dy Green will take the mound against the Washington Hills to- morrow, while the pitching selection of Manager Marty Connors will have to be Bob Grady, holding Len Creddo in reserve. Having been undefeated, in four starts the Tom mics are strictly the club to beat for the championship, as the Sa- cred Hearts are expected to tack up another win at the expense of the Recreations tomorrow at l:3O o'clock and the Brooklyn A. c. and Tribunes are to have it out on the No. ? diamond, with the chances that Frankie Edmonds of Nauga- tuck will start on the hill for the Tribes who have been able to get nowhere thus far this season.
 Here's how they stand going into the Sunday settos tomorrow:

GREAT DIAMOND FEATS
 THIS DATE
@-BY BRACE E. Jack CoOmbs of Athletics Holds Browns to One Hit

After Eddie Collins had gone out, to open the Athletics 9th inning, Frank Baker got the fourth hit of Petty, a single. Baker dashed for second on short passed ball, but just as he reached the bag, he was struck on the back of the head by Stephens throw. He fell uncon- scious and, few minutes later, had to be led off the field. tHe returned to the lineup after two or three days resD. Connie Mack sent Derrick to second to run for Baker, from where Derrick scored the only run of the game on Dannie Murphy's single.
 Petty not only caused Coombs to extend himself to win his duel, but he was the one who spoiled Jack s no-hit performance, when he combed the only hit for the Browns, single in the 9th. Bobby Wallace was the recipient of the only walk Coombs gave.

FOUR PROS IN TIE FOR LEADERSHIP
 OF OPEN PLAY.
Sub-par Rounds Over Very Hard Course Continue;
 Thompson In
By HENRY McLEMORE nited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Oakland Hills Country Club, Bir- mingham, Mich. June 12-(UP)- They thought Tony Manero had something last year when he set an all-time record score in winning the national open golf championship, but Tony's 282 of 136 was in jeop- ardy today as the boys teed off in the final 36-hole rounds of tn open.
 This ultra-tough course still was steaming this morning from the torrid sharpshooting of four veteran campaigners who led 65 professional and amateur qualifiers into the se- lect group of finalists. And the ex- pert observers of tournament golf were inclined to look for improve ment on Manero's record
 Out in front of the parade are four of the keenest shots in the game game. They are tied for first with aggregates over the first 36 holes of 140. Ed Dudley and Frank Walsh, 8 pair of busting pros, were the first to reach the low fig ure in yesterdays second round when, paired together, they dupli- cated 70's banged out in the open ing day.
 Next came Ralph Guldahl, lanky St. Louisan, who battered the com petitive course with punishing 32 on the outward nine yesterday de- spite four on the ninth hole. He combined it with 37 on the way home for 69 that addd to his first reund score of Il.
 The quartet of leaders was round- ed out by Jimmy Thompson of Shawnee -the-DelaWare He cre- ated 8 tremendous uproar with his unbelievable 66 in the second round yesterday which coupled with "A, two over par on the first day, to kick him into the front row.
 If any of the four leaders can clip two strokes of par-not a hard job fo rsuch versatile golfers as Walsh, Dudley, Guldahl and Thompson they can equal Manero's record shattering 282.
 Driving along at the heels of the four tied for first is quartet that turned the halfway mark with 142's, two strokes better than par. In this group are four widely contrast ing Sharpshooters. Lighthouse Harry cooper, veteran Chicagoan, poscted a sub-par 70 yesterday, bifflng a birdies. Cooper was heavily backed as the pre-tourney favorite.
 Swinging Sam Snead. the West Virginia mountaineer, held a 142. Pat Sawyer, Minneapolis pro, added 70 to his opening par 72 for the same aggregate, as did the temperamental amateur, Frank Strafaci of Brooklyn, N. Y, who was 1885 national public links cham pion.
 Johnny Goodman, Omaha anna teur who won the crown in 1883 with a blazing finish had 73 yes terday for 143 and with him at this figure was Vic Ghezzi, the New Jer- sey vetran.
 Manero virtually kissed his title goodbye by pulling down 73 to combine with his inelegant 76 of the day before for 149. Any of the other aspirants with 36 hole score over l45 needed Divine assistance to move up in front.
