RICHMOND is IN line
FOR OUTBOARD MEET
Apt to Be Awarded Classic at
National Meeting Next Week
in Chicago.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
rH1CAGO, February 27.-The 1887
~ national outboard championships
next September probably will be held
at Richmond. Va. it was indicated
today by officials of the National Out
board Association. A final decision on
the annual boat classic is expected
here next week during the Chicago
motor boat show.
Only one rival of Richmond Is bid
ding for the outboard title races. but
the comparative inaccessability of Las
Vegas. w. Mex. seems to preclude the
selection of that competitor.
Richmond's offer came through the
Upper James Outboard Association of
the Country Club of Virginia. headed
by James w. Mullen. This organiza-
ton successfully staged the national
intercollegiate outboard championships
last Summer on the James River, an
ideal racing course.
The selection of Richmond for the
nationals on September 1920 would
be particularly advantageous as the
Presidents Cup Regatta in Washing
ton. D. c., will be held the following
week end.

ORLANDO, Fla. February o.
" The Washington Ball Clubs

duced to four tonight following
the signing Of First Baseman Joey

only Pitcher Buck Newsom, Short

Travis is to report tomorrow with
the first squad" but whether he
will be on hand is a matter OF

not due until q week from to-

Even Cards Use Vets.

THERE was a time, years ago, when
few major league managers would
gamble on a player over Is and par.
ticularly If fellow had dropped into
the minors after several trials in the
big show But the minor leagues
are not yet able to meet the demand
for players capable Of carrying on in
the majors, and the big timers are
obliged to gamble somewhat on veteran
material.
This Is particularly true Of major
league clubs that do not have far
flung farm systems. However, even
the st. Louis Cardinals. whose farm
system Is the most extensive, some.
times get caught short, and last Sum-
mer Branch Hickey called on George
Earnshaw and Flint Rhem to help the
Gas House cause And the New York
Yankees brought in Bob Seeds. who
played for Cleveland and Detroit. to
do utility work during the fag end

MUCH OLD TALENT
Indians, White Sox to Rely

~ HlCAGO, feDruary Zi.-Inere
4 will be numerous exceptions
to the old gag that youth
~ must be served in the major
league training camps this Spring.
When the big league clubs start haul
ing back fellows who have passed the
80 mark for trial, it Is rather evident
that youth is somewhat scarce and not
giving much service.
Robert Quinn's Boston Bees have
done considerable dealing in patri-
archial talent since the close of the
1896 campaign, and in the training
camp will be found Frank MCGOWAN.
who answers to the age of 81, and
Bill Harris, who is bouncing on TO 80.
MCGOWAN had several trials with
American League clubs in his younger
days, but last season was rated one
of the best outflelders and batters in
the International and may give the
Bees couple of years valuable service.
Harris won Is and lost 10 for Buffalo
and might do well as a relief hurler.
The Bees also have resurrected Jim
Mosolf, who is 81 and played with the
Pirates and Cubs, from the Texas
League for a trial in the outfeld.
Oldsters With Browns.
ONE of the st. Louis Browns new
pitchers is Lou Koupal, who Is
coming up from Seattle at the age
of "a. Koupal was around the big
show briefly some years ago, but
enjoyed his best season last Summer.
He is a crafty veteran and Hornsby
may derive considerable value from
his aged arm.
The Browns also will try Sheriff
Fred Blake, of 81 Summers. Blake
worked a long time for the Chicago
Cubs and also served with Philadelphia
before finding the fountain of youth
over in the International League.
Hornsby's liking for veteran per-
formers also kept Ethan Allen, 80. in
the majors after he had been waived
out of the National League.
Cleveland's Indians also are going
in for antiques The Tribe swapped
29-year-old Thornton Lee to get the
31-Summer Earl WNlLeIllll IIOIH
Washington. Steve O'Neill also will
inspect some other aged pitchers in
Carl Fischer, 81. from Buffalo; Joe
Heving, 80. from Milwaukee, and
Whitlow Wyatt, back from Kansas City
at the age of 81.
AS an aide to Luke Sewell who is

mits to 33 Earl Buckner. who may

some good pitching from George Cas-

- REATION of a Nationwide
league of professional golfers
who will compete in daily
~ matches over 12-hole courses
to be constructed on the outskirts of
eight large cities Is proposed today
by William r. Stone, we'll known golfer
of Congressional and Indian Spring.
Stone, who heads a credit agency in
Washington and is well known
local business man, has outlined his
proposal in statement to the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association. and also
has made 1t known to golf manufac-
turers.
Proclaiming that even in the hey
day of prosperity golf has excited little
enthusiasm as a major competitive
sport, Stone proposes, in brief, these
objectives Of an organization called
''The American Golf Association:
Construction by municipal gov
ernments Of golf courses immedi-
ately adjacent to cities. where the
great masses Of the people can get
cheap golf.
Organization Of a major league
Of golf in eight cities. whose teams
would play daily matches on the
courses proposed, these courses to

Golf Held Behind Times.

N1CNE points out IN MS prospectus
addressed to the P. G. A. that q
youngster may by determination. study
and practice become capable pro-
fessional golfer, but when he reaches
the top he is not sufficiently reim-
bursed for his time and trouble. Base
ball and other sports have advanced"
he says, with scientific development
commensurate with the rapid strides
Of knowledge and populations. Golf
has stood still and aloof 1t has
not sat at the round table, or looked
into its own possibilities. 1t has gone
backward because populations have
increased faster than players. And
the game is especially conspicuous
for its dearth of fans"
Briefly he suggests that the "Ameri-
can Golf Association, Inc.," become
the property of cooperating golf
clubs, while the American Golf
League, Inc" working with the P. G.
A. on the promotion side. will form
a skeleton organization and perfect
course standardization. He also sug-
gests that the P. G. A. recommend to
its members the experimental adop-
ton Of 12-hole courses, converting
the remaining six holes into chipping
and putting layouts, with lighting
for night golf
Obviously" Stone says. "the prof.
ect contemplates the expenditure of
many millions. The promiscuous sale
of stock could not be countenanced.
The only hope would be to enlist the
aid of wealthy sportsmen.
