statement:
"Thero la absolutely no moral or legal

TWO MORE HOCKEY
PLAYERS ARE ODT
Ellis nnd Smith Withdraw
Whilo Committee Considers
Their Cases.
Two more hockey players are out of
the amateur ranks. They went out last
night while the governing committee of
the American Amateur Hockey League
was hearing charges against them. They
are Russell Ellis, captain of the St.
Nicholas Skating Club, and Allen Smith,
who played with the Crescent Athletic
Club last year.
Following the disqualification of Tool
Bawlf and Aleck Wellington of the Irish
American A. C. on Wednesday night
came a protest from the I. A. A. C. that
Bills and Smith were Ineligible to play
In amateur competitions because they
wero violating the rules of amateurism
by selling sporting goods.
While the meeting of the committee
was In progress Ellis appeared. Informed
II. L. von Bernuth, chairman of the
committee, that he need waste no time
on his account, for he had decided to
stick to his business and withdraw as
an amateur hockey player.
A few minutes later Smith put In an
appearance. He too told Sir. von Ber
nuth that the meeting could end so far
as he was concerned. He said that he
had withdrawn from amateur hockeyfj
ana mat he was not a member of the
St. Nicholas Club, as charged. Ha said
he was a member of the Crescent A. c.
last year, but had resigned from it sev
eral months ago. '
Following the withdrawals of Ellis
and Smith came reports that at least
a dosen other amateur hockey players
would be protested before the end of the
month. It Is said that these members
represent not only the local clubs but
also two of the amateur teams In Boston.

"The minor leagues nre In' no humor to

"As long as tho players strike I am

"The Idea of a sympathetic strlko by
big league players because of some minor

LEADERS OF GOLF
' STAND BY RULES
Only Slight Change in Ama
teur Definition Suggested
by Officials.
WOULD BAR ARCHITECTS
In the annual report of the executive
committee ot the United Slates Golf
Association the governing board makes
public for tho first time an ex
planation of tho disqualification of sev
eral prominent golfers charged with
violations of the amateur rule. Also
a change In the wording of the present
rule has been adopted and offered which
will be presented to the delegates for
approval at the annual meeting of the
national body at the Hotel Astor. to
night. In reference to the disqualification of
Francis Oulmet, Paul Tewksbury, John
It. Sullivan, Jr., and others, the report
states:
"Despite agitation and much effort
In certain localities to prevent the car
rying out of the Instructions voted by
the delegates at the last annual meeting
relative to the definition of an amateur
golfer the executive committee has con
sistently enforced the bylaws upon this
subject In every Instance where facts
came to Its notice that necessitated such
action.
"Each case has been Investigated
carefully, and the rulings of the com
mittee have been prompted without ex
ception solely by regard for tho under
lying principles that gave rise to the
adoption of the bylaws as well as the
evident Intention of the V. 8. O. A. to
maintain the game of golf ln America
according to the highest standards of
straightforward gentlemanly sports
manship. The total number of cases
that have resulted In a ruling that de
clared the Individual Ineligible to com
pete as an amateur have been, aa waa
expected, few ln number.
Ordered by Delegates.
"At the regular meeting of the ex
ecutive committee, held at the Merlon
Cricket Club, September S, 1918, It was
voted to amend section 7 of the .bylaws
by striking out the following words:
'Or to laying out, constructing, super
vising or giving advice concerning the
layout, construction or upkeep of a golf,
course, or any part thereof.'
"At the annual meeting of the asso
ciation, held In Chicago January 14,
1516, the delegates Instructed the execu
tive committee to Incorporate among tho
rulings under section 7 of the bylaws
what appears thereunder as Ruling No.
6. Some confusion has arisen as to the
meaning of the language of this ruling.
For the purpoee therefore of making
Ruling No. C plainer and more definite
the executive committee has voted to
change It so that It will read as follows :
" 'Engaging In any business connected
with the game of golf wherein one's
usefulness of profits arise because of
skill or prominence In the game of golf.'
"In making the latter change the com
mittee, does not intend to alter the In
tent or comprehensiveness ot former
Ruling No. 6. The new wording Is used
simply for the purpose of greater clarity
and to avoid any Impression that dis
crimination Is Intended between em
ployer and employee."
Part C of the amateur rule as It now
stands, reads that a player loses his
amateur standing by "accepting or
holding any position as agent or em
ployee that Includes as part of Its duties
the handling of golf supplies ; or engag
ing ln any buslnss wherein one's use
fulness or profits arise because of skill
or pormlncnce in the game of golf." The
first part of the rule has been lopped
off by the committee.
Arrhtterta Under rlan.
That the executive committee has
decided to place links architects under
the ban -was brought out In the report
which announced the elimination of the
words In the first paragraph of section 7
oof the constitution, which defines an
amateur. Heretofore the section read
In part:
"Provided, however, that the above
shall not apply to writing, editing or
publishing articles, magazines or books
on golf or to laying out, constructing,
supervising or giving advice concerning
the layout, construction or upkeep of a
golf course or any part thereof."
Now only those players who write
articles on the game nro still considered
amateurs, and such prominent links
architects as Walter J. Travis, A. W.
Tllllnghast and others possibly are to
be considered as Ineligible for amateur
coT.!ietltlon.
Some time ago it was reported that
architects of golf links wero Ineligible
for the amateur championship, but none
of the executive committee would verify
such action waa taken. However, at
Uferlon during tho last national chain
ionshlp It seems the committee met
and placed under the ban several more
players.
From the foregoing the executive
committee places Itself on record ns
being against any further changes In
Hie rule or any laxity In nmateurlsm.
Also the executive committee makes It
Plain It will stand by Its actions In the
disqualifications of tho Woodland Golf
Club members tnd all others who come
under the ban. Tho committee has
stated Its position and put It up to the
delegates to approve or act otherwise.
Tho report shows that tho association
has a total membership of 410 clubs, of
which 117 are uctlve and 323 nlllcd
During the year 30 clubs were elected
to membership, 11 of these to nctlve nnd
the rest to ullletl memberships,
Rvana Is Jloosted,
Taking cognizance of the champion
ship ability of Charles Evans, Jr., of
Chicago In both the amateur and open
fixtures tho report shows added Interest
In the events. Tho fact that Chick
Evans won both titles Is firmly Im
pressed by tho line that he accomplished
n feat never before recorded In this
country.
A resolution has been adopted and
will be presented at the meottng to In
crease the amount of cash prizes for
the open championship. Hereafter, If
the resolution goes through, first prize
will be worth 1500 and a gold medal ;
second, $250; third, SISO; fourth, 1100;
fifth, $75 ; sixth, (65 ; seventh, E5 ;
eighth, $45; ninth, $35, and tenth, $25,
Tho treasurer's report shows the re
ceipts for the year to be $8,905.10, and
the disbursements $8,788.74, whlcli Is
drawing It close, but leaving the bal
ance on the right Bide of the ledger.
The association has on hand $13,894.08,
most of which Is Invested In a New York
city bond.

places the former mark of St made by
Edgar T. Appleby against C. P. Mathews
three years ago. With this big lead to
overcome Rice played remarkably and
finally won the match by 200 to 1(7,
averaging S 15-87 to accomplish this end.

FLOTSAM AND JETSAM FROM
WORLD OF AMATEUR SPORT
ny n
For some unknown reason college
rowing schedule making has been re
tarded greatly this winter. At this late
dale many colleges, Columbia nmong
them, havo no definite Idea of their
programmes. They know In a general
way what Is to be expected but dates
for most of the races are yet to be set.
Hven the Intercolleglata Rowing As
sociation has not yet taken up tho ques
tion of deciding when It wilt stage Its
regatta. Charles H. Mapes, chairman
of the board ot stewards, yesterday de
clared that nothing would bo done until
late ln the month.
The college rowing season will be In
augurated on April 6 on the Schuylkill
with races between Yale and Pennsyl
vania. Thus far that Is tho only definite
Information obtainable. Columbia, Penn
sylvania and Princeton will once more
row for the Child's cup, most likely
on Lako Carnegie. Penn will row the
Navy on the Severn.
Columbia Is anxious to arrange a dual
race with Harvard but the outlook Is
not promising. Columbia could get a
match with Syracuse but mighty few
crews are looking for races with Jim
Ten Eyck's pupils. Syracuse's lone fix
ture so far is the American Henley at
Philadelphia. Its race with the Navy
Is still problematical.
In response to a petition signed by
more than tOO students the Pennsyl
vania faculty athletic committee has
sanctioned the organization of a hockey
team. Ponn Is likely to become a mcm
ber of the new league formed to play
games in the rink at West Philadelphia.
The management of ths rink has Invited
the Princeton squad to practise there

seven from the league.

POCKET BILLIARD
CHAMPION LEADS
Taberski Loses Second Block
to Maturo, but Still
Holds Advantage.
Pmssfito, Pa, Jsn. 11. The second
night's play In the pocket billiard match
for a purse of S 1,000 and the title, be
tween Frank Taberski of Schenectady, N.
Y., the champion, and James Maturo of
Kansas City, was very slow. Taberski
scored 150 points last night to Maturo's
107, and to-night the leader In the match
scored 150, but his opponent came In
with 12, making the score 300 to 2St In
Taberskl's favor. Maturo started off
splendidly, but fell off ln his play as the
game progressed. Again he let loose tn
a brilliant manner, making some fine cut
shots and getting ecores from almost Im
possible combinations. Ills best runs
were 29 and 24. On the other hand Tab
erski was calm and collected, playing In
his usual deliberate style.
Taberskl's best run was SO, but he was
fortunate tn getting 21 twice and never
varied In his play. Fifty-five Innings
were played.

OTHER SPORT COMMENT?
ny iitnis nnowif.
As both Charley Welnert, the Jersey
Adonis, nnd Billy Mlsko, the Minnesota,
mauler, enteratln championship bees In
their bonnets, the Indications are that
ono perfectly good title prospect will be
slightly disfigured at tho close of their
ten round bout ln ths Harlem Sporting
Club to-night
Welnert Is a fairly good puncher, but
he has never shown ability to take pun
ishment, and If the St Paul man can
weather tho attacks of tho Jerseyman
nnd deliver the blows for which he has
been noted there seems to be reason
to believe he will be returned tho win
ner. I Fnlton Bendy t
Thero Is a movement on fo.H to bring
Fred Fulton and Jess Wlllard together
ln a ten round session ln this city at
no very distant date. Frank Force,
Fulton's mannger, la busy with confer
ences which are expected to lead up to
such a match. Jack Curley and others
Interested in tho ring affairs of Wlllard
nro busy with the Westerner, and It
Force Is ready a meeting betwen Wll
lard and Fulton may be arranged within
a short time. ,
Of course Fulton and Force have had
a Wlllard match In mind for quite s
while. In tact before the two got to
r.ntVioH Xril, ,-! 1 1 .
b.w. 9 uiiiiio, a. ivnner nuknsger
was trying to steer the trowel wields?
Into a battle with Wlllard In New Or
leans. But the match fell through.
At that time Fulton had practically
nothing ln the way of a record to IndU
cate that he would have any chance)
against the title holder.
The consideration which sDands In the
way of such a match Just now Is whether
Fulton Is ready for the fray. A very
favorable interpretation has been placed
on his performance In knocking out Tom
Cowler. All agree that Fulton Is a
vastly Improved boxer. Still, has he Im
proved enough to warrant that he will
have oven the short end of a show with
Wlllard? Both Fulton and Force want
a match with Wlllard. but their better
counsel Indicates that It would be nd
vlsablo to stavo it off until Fred can try
out against Frank Moran and possibly
ono or two others.
However, Fultoij might do well In a
ton round bout. Such a match would
mean little more than a fine chance to
gather ln a fat purse with little at
stake.
Staler Slay shift.
Fielder Jones Is busy conning over a
Plan which Is expected to protlt the St'
I)uls Browns in somo way In the matter
C. aor8 S'sler-s services. Jones is
thinking of placing his young star In
the outfield regularly. One reason Is
said to be that Jones appreciates that
Slsler stands much more likelihood of
suffering Injury playing the Urst bag
than he would tn the outfield.
If the plan Is tried out, a former
C-Iant rookie will be the man to profit by
the vacancy cau-t-d at first by Slsler'g
abdication of the bag. Gene Paulet,
whom McGraw picked up while a high
school boy In I.lttle Rock Is the man.
l'aulet has spent thi pust three seasons
in tho Southern league, and has fin
ished each season with a hefty batting
average. Furthermore, he Is a very
shifty youngster nround the first eta
tlon. Ills main trouble has been physU
cal Inability to hold up under a hard
long season of regular work. But last
year he had a fine seabon with Memphis
and finished strong.
Good Tlmn for n Strike.
In the parlance of the llttla old game
of "draw" President Davy Fultz of tho
Players Fraternity has "shoved In tho
stack." Fultz figures that the time has
arrived for a showdown. When the
Federal League was In existence the
fraternity had an ace In tho hole at all
times. But with the collapse of that
circuit tho tendency tins been growing
stronger nnd stronger on tho part of
club owners to Ignore the fraternity.
The time Is ripe for Fultz and his
associates to make their play. A large
number of contracts expired Inst season,
and It hns been freely proclaimed that
the boys were due to get largo slices
pruned from their contracts for the com
ing season. It Is quito evident that ths
players will he In a more mil'uhle frame
of mind now to make n tight than later,
I-'urtliermore. If after being told to go
ch.tHfc Itself the fraternity failed to make
a positive move, fucIi action would have
nerved as notice that the organization
held Itself helpless.
