Brtnly wedded to the game he must be

Mllty of the trio representing Central
Park. Miss Moehle Is the outstanding
stir ef Durland's team and I ably as
lifted by Mlsa Pond and Miss Buchanan.
There Is a keen rivalry oetween the Cen
tral Park and Durland aggregations, and
it seems certain that a series of games
'rill be held shortly to firmly establish
nhlch Is the belter team.
The llrool.lyn Hiding and Drlxlng Clu

by the Central Park Academy. The

Central Park champions are eager to

lo wait until after the holidays.
All the teams are mounted upon well
trained polo ponies, this being especla'ly
true about the Central Tnrk team. Mls

lntly closed, there Is no general dls
Million to criticise the coaching system
or to blame Dick Harlow and IiIk aso
elites to any great extent.
The coaching system will not be
changed, but various alumni have ex
prFi the hope that In the future more
sttentlon will be given to modern foot
tall plays and that Rtate will abandon
the policy of sticking to conservative,
old fashioned rushing.
These alumni and undergraduates,
numbering hundreds, hold that In all Its

t State used far too few plays, and tint
'It failed to take advantage of the po
Wlltles of the forwarJ pass. They h""!"'
that another year will see mte vurleil

"The executive committee furthir
recommends Aiat the sectional cham

pae.ed last year requiring at least one
rr.onbrr af a team to be a 'rejldfnt of

'rolll Ihe foregoing It Is evident that
Ihe doubles game Is In a fur a thorough
overhauling when the delegates gather
Jt the annual meeting of the United
KtaUe National Lawn Tennis Associa
tion February 9. This resolution,
adopted nt the December meeting of the
executive committee, generally com
mends Itself to tennis players, who think
that the suggestions am likely to result
In Improvement
One trouble In paat snrtnon hat been
that teums often were hit or mliis torn

lerc.l In the same Uiurnamenls In May
oti!d pa.!r for those events, separate

ami perhaps appear In August as mem-b-.n
of entirely new combinations. The

In the dellleratloiis of the executive
coiiitr.lt'-e It w.iti uriieirth.it the pio
posej chu:izes would ulter the old situa
tion and tund to promote the ml which
Is dea.ied. If the doubles championship
I la to In dtclded In one tournament tlieie
wll! he a greater Incentive for teams to

Suppoiters of this plan argue that fuch

llevo that the terulency will be for teams

EVANS ACHIEVED FAKE
Probably never In the history of Amer
ican golf was the ancient and honorable
pastime o highly successful as In the.
season of HIS. Not only were wonders
n nikcel upon thn links, hut almost every
club enjoyed such financial prosperity
the respective member were able to
vole nwnerslilD. Almost CO per cent, of
the clubs of th country now own their
own courses, and practically half of
th.e paid for the real estate durlnr th
past year.
, Interest In golf reached a fsv-er heat
' never before attained. Club tourna
ments, district championships ana the
I national found galleries of great alto
in attendance anu ins ran 01 uir alt
era eagerly awaiting some biforirkiUeil
on returns. Newspapers, periodical aa-fl
other publications found It ImpoMloia to
limit the space for golf aa baa toa tit
custom for ao many years. Oolf. in not,
attained such a prominent rportlruf po
sition that forever It shall remain a
fixture.
After years of persistent but frttttleti
endeavor Charle F.vans, Jr., of Edfe
water, rose to the supreme heights of
American golf. Not only did the Inimi
table Chick acquire possession of the
coveted amateur title but he also took
unto himself nit the lnurels of the open
cluvmplonshlp. an achievement credited
to no other amateur player tn the hlf
tory of this country. In fact, only one
other amateur In the history of golt
gained such dlatlnotlon, that being John
nail of England, who won the British
amateur and open In one year, much to
the consternation of the English golf
world,
Mis Stlrlliiar Conquers.
Hardly less lullllant was the year's
performance of Miss Alex .Stirling, the
Atlanta nils who waged such sterling
golf Klie gained the leadership among
the women. In playing to the crown tn
the llelmont Spring classlo Miss Stirling
not only proved that America has a fem
inine golfer worthy of national fame
but sh brought to light the certainty
I that America Is developing experts at
the cime ivlio Moon may outshine the
j world, or what Is left of It after the
! warring nation get through.
I Particularly emphntlc were the raptd
' strides of Hobby Jones, Perry Adair,
1 Norman It, Maxwell, Iteggle Lewis and
1 1 hlllp Carter. Any ecason which pro
iducrM five such prodlgle must he rated
I exceptional, llvi-ry otio nttatned prom
, Inence In the gnm nnd each displayed
j such genius nt the ancient sport that the
veterans arc beginning to wonder how
the title nre to he kept from them In the
season to come.
Leading the professionals of the land
the past season was Long Jim Barnes,
favorite of Whltemarsh Valley, winner
of the Professional Oolfera Association
1 championship and leader In so many in
1 vltatlnn tourney he crowded the others
I for space. Barnes had a remarkable
, eeason In that In thirty-seven rounds of
j n1ed.1l play In tournaments he compiled
.an average of a trifle more than 74 for
each round. III purses and prize money
will do much to keep any wolf from the
'door nt least until the snow is oft the
gtound,
Walter Itagen of nochester and Jock
Hutchinson of Allegheny won distinc
tion. Hagen took the Western open and
metropolitnn open, besides coming Into
the money In every' other tournament
In which he took part. Hutchinson waa
a high man In tho national open and
professional tourney at Wykagyl.
