August 6.?After months' of uncertainty, the United States Golf ' Association has at last declared Itself i as to its position regarding bogey j rules. It appears that a decision was reached at the executive session held in Chicago. The lirst paragraph of the pamphlet issued from the secre? tary^ office reads as follows: "A bogey competition is a series of stroke competitions, in which play Is against a fixed score at each hole of the stipulated round or rounds, and the winner is the competitor who is the most successful in the aggregate of these competitions. The rules for stroke competitions shall apply, with Ihe following exceptions: 'Any hole for which a competitor m ikes no return shall be regarded as a loss. The marker shall also be re? sponsible for the marking; of the cor? rect number of strokes at each hole at which a competitor makes a score either pn.ual to or less than the fixed ' score. "2. Any breach of rule which entails 1 the penalty of disqualification shall only disqualify the competitor for the j hole at which the breach occurred, but : a competitor shall not be exempted from the general disqualification Im? posed by strokes rules ?_? (1?. I (2) and (1) and <21." Then appears the following note: "A scale showing the handicap al? lowance, and Indicating the holes at which strokes are to be <lven or taken, -hall be printed on the back of every scot ing card." The United States Golf Association recovimerid* that clubs continue to f<5l- J low the custom of allowing each com- ; Petitor three-quarters of his full ban- j dicap. ?

August fi.?What prom? ises to be one of the greatest rtghts held under the new law will be be? tween Abe Attel and 'Knockout' Brown for ten rounds in this city, during the early part of September. The fight resolves itself into a ease Of a crafty ring general, handicapped by over ten pounds, facing one of the toughest hitters of his weight in the country. Nothing need be said re? garding the reputation of Attel and Brown. The featherweight champion has been rtchtlng all sizes and man? ner of rivals for so many years that his career is nothing short of marvel? ous. No matter what advantage his opponents had entering the ring, with few exceptions Attel found their weak! spots, and before the finish was way! out in front There will be few men' in the squared circle for many years ; who will duplicate the glowing record J of this phenomenal lighter. In the case of Brown, his career has been short but startling. Within the past year he has loomed up as a light? weight championship possibility. His two victories over Wodgast force the world to pay attention to his prow? ess Since he defeated Wolgast at the National Sporting Club, Brown has I lengthened his record by seven knock outs. His ring tactics have shown im? provement in each succeeding battle. I l'cjss(ssed Of a left that carries a ter | rlhle punch, Brown has developed his i right almost on a par with his port- J slder. , COLLEGE SOCCER PLAYERS ARK ORGANIZING CUBS New York >J Y?
