JONES IS AGAINST
GOLF RULE CHANGE
Old Master FavOrs Retaining
Old Rule Requiring Win
ner To Drive First

ATLANTA, Jan. 23.-LR-Robert
Tyre Jones, Jr., lined up firmly with
the noes" today on the question of
changing the ancient golf rule which
requires the winner Of the previous
hole to drive first at each tee.
Fred Corocoran, tournament man.
age for the Professional Golfers as
ISOLATION, said recently in San Fran
cisco that among the touring pros
there seemed to be ian overwhelm-
ing sentiment in favor of revising
the rule to make the honor op-
tional. He listed the veteran Walter
Hagen among those who couldn't
understand why the rule was not
changed years ago."
Asked for his reaction, the grand
slam" champion of 1880 and winner
of 10 British and American national
titles said:
Fundamentally, 1 am instinctively
against changing the rules of golf.
49,. Golf has been a game, and a
good game for a long time. You
might change it; you might ever i'm
prove tin the opinion of some
players. But it wouldn't be golf.
The old honor il one of the funda-
mental regulations of the game.
Besides which, I can't see that
it would or could make much differ
ence. Ordinarily, it's an advantage
to drive first. Especially if you are
going we'll"
He suggested, also, that making
the honor optional would just be one
more thing for the competitor to
think about land when you're con-
%centrating in golf, either match or
stroke play, the less distraction you
have, the better"
Driven away from almost daily
practice and playing sessions by a
record snow, Jones declined any COM
ment on what he thinks he may do
in the Masters tournament at Au-
gusta this spring but didn't deny
he had been playing and practicing
more in the past few months than
he has in years.
Jones retired from general compe-
tition after winning the British and
American open and amateur titles in
1880 but plays in this single invita-
tional meet each year. So far he
has not had marked success in the
Masters" and his more careful prep
arations for the 1910 event-which
will boast its usual fast field-bolster
belief that he intends to make a Sc.
rious bid this time.

CITY CAGE TEAMS
TO PLAY TONIGHT
Tide Water And w. L. /. Meet
In Opener; Y Quint To
Play Company l Five

Service league games for this
week will bring together the Tide
Water Kilowatts and the w. L. 1.
teams in the opening game tonight
at $50 o'clock on the Y. M. c. A.
hardwood court.
The high-flying W. L. I. Artillery
men have yet to be defeated this
season and this does not look to be
tn, night for them to start losing.
However, the Kilowatts showed
some promise in last weeks contest
when they showed the Company I
cagers under in the first period,
only to see a commanding lead
vanish under the accurate shooting
of the militiamen. The Tide Water
team boasts a reasonably powerful
scoring combination b . its defense
is woefully weak.
The second game Of the evening
is expected to furnish the fireworks.
"he Y. M. C. A. and the Company
I teams are evenly matched and at
this distance it looks like just any
body's game. Both teams have
gained one decision in previous
meetings. If the Soldiers can find
the basket with the same degree of
regularity that marked their ap-
pearance against the Ki!owatts last
week, they should have little diff
Guilty taking this encounter. On
the other hand, the Triangles are
given an edge in defensive play but
have looked bad all season in their
inability to hit the hoop.

St. Laurence Seaway
Advocated By Roosevs|

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-P-
P resident Roosevelt spoke Oh.
strongly for the st. Lawrence sea-
way today, declaring that in afta
years even critics of the propose
undertaking would realize it was a
good thing.
AS he spoke to his press conte,
ence, Canadian and American rep
resentatives were at work her:
seeking to arrive at a new bash
for negotiating treaty covering
the $500, O0o, 900 project for deep
waterway from the Great Lakes u
the sea, and for development Of St
Lawrence w%aterpower. The senatt
turned down one treaty.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that since hi
was a young man he had though
of the good the development woull
do the United States-including
Buffalo, N. Y, Wisconsin, and tn
north Atlantic ports. The project
in a "when"-and not an if

MEET MAY
END IN WRANCLE
Amendments To Purify Ten
mis- Slated To Be Discussed
At Annual Session
BY BILL BONI

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-LR-As a
general rule, annual meetings of the
U. S. Lawn Tennis association are
almost as much matters of routine
as the yearly conclaves OF their golf
ing brethren. This years meeting,
in New York Feb. 10, is likely to be
the exception that proves the rule.
Bone Of contention will be propos-
ed amendments which forbid a player
to receive tournament expenses, or
clubs to pay them, without the sane
ton of the players sectional associa'
ton. AS in the last weeks eastern
L. T. A. meeting, the ICON" ar3uers
will hold that this gives too much
power to the sectional associations.
Unorthodox Sensation
Newest sensation Of the track sea-
son, at least locally, is a lad named
Bob King, just a year and d halt
out of high school and only a veal
clear of an attack Of double pneumo.
mia. A s~elf-taught high jumper, COM
pletely unstylish and unable to jump
at all unless he's wearing an old pair
of sneakers, he's cleared 6 feet 4 and
6 feet 6 in his last two meets.
Up at the New York A. c., which
King represents, they'e now faced
with a problem. They don't know
whether to let the boy proceed along
his own unorthodox path, Or to try
to school him on conventional lines
There's always the danger that the
latter process would ruin him.
Special Meets
If you've wondered why Taiste
MAXI won't run in any of the regu'
lar winter track meets, the answer
is simple. All Of those fixtures al
ready are well. established money
makers, and the promoters hardly
would be in a position to turn over
the regular proceeds to the Finnish
relief fund. Any extra receipts the
Finnish stars presence might attract
wouldn't amount to enough to make
it worthwhile. Therefore special
meets will be built around MAXI, just
as they were around Nurmi.
Stages Rule
Though he's the oldest and only
lifetime member of the national
football rules committee, Amos Alon'
20 Stage remains one of the most
active. 1t was Stage who, after a
long series of experiments with his
own college of the Pacific squad,
proposed and put through the
'speed-up" rule change which next
fall will limit teams to 25, rather
than 30, seconds in the huddle.

Seabiscuit Assigned Top

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 23.-R-Charles
5 Towards %Seabiscuit, a very doubt
ful starter, was assigned top weight
OF 1872 pounds today as 40 horses

William L. Brann's Challedon, vot-
ed the country's best three.year-old

NEGRO CHAMPION
FAVORED TO WIN
Bout Will Be 18th Time Arm
strong Has Placed Welter-
weight Title On Block
Bv SID FEEDER

NEW YORK, Jan. 23-R)-Ham-
merin' Henry Armstrong puts his
world welterweight championship
on the line for the 18th time to-
morrow night in Madison Square
Garden against the stiff-punching
body attack of Pedro Montanez OF
Puerto Rico.
They tangle over the 15-round
route and the way Gus @. Fan and
family have taken to the tea-party
has Promoter Mike Jacobs beaming
like a summer sun. Uncle Mike"
figured tonight that some $4,000
of the faithful would be on hand
for the festivities, contributing to a
gross gate over the $4,000 marks.
The little buzzsaw who climbs in
to the ring about 10 p. m. (E. S.
T.) tomorrow night is a slower
Armstrong than the rip-tearing
negro dynamiter who skyrocketed
out of the west a couple of years
back to become the first fighter in
ring history to hold three cham
pionships simultaneously. But he
still sets a red hot pace and he is
punching sharper and harder.
AS a result, the odds-layer have
made Henry the Hammer a 1 to 8
shot to wind up as "winnah and
still champeen." This corner, re-
Numbering the Armstrong who
piled up nearly so straight victories
in his all-conquering sweep through
1887, '3S and '39, before Lou Am
bers outpointed him for the light
weight crown last August, strings
along with BOSNIAN Armstrong.
Although Armstrong rightly is
favored by the betting folks, the /
to 8 price seems somewhat far
fetched on the face of Montanez's
record. Like Henry, Pedro the
FOUNDER has had two get-togethers
with Ambers, and, like Henry, he
has split a pair Of decisions with
the 135-pound titleholder. He has
been a consistently good cam
paigner in both the lightweight and
welterweight classes.
What's more, Pedro is one of
the toughest body punchers among
the rings little men. A good por-
ton of his ring triumphs have
been chalked up simply by pitching
at his opponents breadbasket until
the other fellow hollers "uncle."
Opposed to this, Armstrong Of
fers little or no chance to a rival
to belt away at his body. He's
usually right up close to the party
of the second part, with his chin
resting on the latter's shoulder, and
failing away with both hands, I'M
til he yea an opponent down to
size.
AS is customary whenever the
Hammer goes to the post, he'll be
giving away about seven pounds in
this bout. He figures to scale 1888,
heaviest in his ring career, While
Montanez will pack about 145.
When he won the welterweight
crown from gallant little Barney
Ross in May 1898, Armstrong was
1873 1-2. Since then he has slowly
added weight, all of it in his
punching department - across his
back and shoulders. From his waist
up, the little Los Angeles ~larruper
looks like d middleweight. His legs
are still those of a lightweight.

And as further evidence that
Wake Forest is making e strong
bid for entry in the grid1ron Dig
time is the announcement that the
college is building a new addition TO
Its stadium and that Walker will
devote his full time to football ac-
tivities at the school.
Bolstered by a quartet OF the
highest scoring backs in the ma
ton. Wake Forest last fall jumped
into the headlines as the up-and-
coming team Of the south. Next
fall will see practically every mem.
Der of that high-scoring machine
back in harness and to add to the
list will be one of the best fresh
man crops of football players seen
in the state in many years.
Most of the so-called grid experts
admitted last fall that il the Wake
Forest eleven had had a passing at
tack that it would, in all probability,
have gone farther. Its passing at
tack was practically nil, but we
have an idea that. Walker will see
to 1t that it is placed in the Dea-
cons bag of tricks next season.
At any rate, Wake Forest is
making a valiant stab for top hon.
ors in state and conference grid
circles. But you Eve know how
such things will work out until the
team meets another team on the
field.
Trade Winds
One OF the better player deals in
big league baseball circles so far
this winter was the acquisition Of
ives Terrell by the Brooklyn
Dodgers.
The Tar Heel pitcher who may
be classed among the better hurl-
ers of this generation, had about
faded from the picture. Through a
little news story that he would like
to make another try under the big
tent, came a nice offer from the
Dodgers. Terrell in commenting on
IT some time ago, said that it sure
paid to advertise, but what is caus.
Ing comment among baseball fol.
lowers is how Leo Durocher and
Larry MacPhail are going to make
two prima donnas like Terrell and
Van Lingle Mungo stay together
without fighting.
The acquisition Of Terrell and q
few other players who the Dodgers
are expected to sign up should
make the Dizziness club a real
threat in the National league race
