I GOLF STARS
ARE COMING
Next Year England's
Players Will Compete
With Americans.
i
New York, Dec. 14. At the present
, Writing It looks aB If the year 1913
will witness unprecedented activity In
international golf. Following upon
! the heels of the announcement that
three of England's crack players, Har-
ry Vardon, Edward Ray, the cham-
pion, and George Duncan, would make
V I a tour of the United States, giving
, open exhibitions, comes the word that
ten of America's mashie wizards were
1 going to invade Britain next year.
i ' "With thiB interchange of golf cour-
i tesles, or discourtesies, as you please,
j the great cause of the little ball on
I the foolish little hill will go forward
.in leaps and bounds.
j Americans axe acquainted with at
, least two of the British trio, who ex-
I .pect to visit thiB country next year.
! IThey are Harry Vardon and George
j Duncan.
t Vardon was .here in 1900. At that
j time he was the holder of the BrltiBh
title and his exhibition matches
I (throughout the country were attended
jhy thousands who were eager to see
him play. Needless to say, Vardon
j found his tour very profitable from
li the standpoint of his pocketbook.
j Duncan was in America a little over
I a year ago. He also found it profit-
rr-
able. And so did his fellow country
man, J. H. Taylor, who was here a
few years ago.
While this cluster of British stars
are anxious to come to this country,
thoy are debating the question as lo
whether it would pay for all three of
them to come together and appear at
the same places at the same time
They feel there is something of a risk
In this, whereas, in England, they are
in constant demand. But being golf
ers, they will probably prefer tho
"hazard" of coming here than the sure
thing over there.
The probabilities arc that tho Golf
association of Philadelphia will do tho
same as the Metropolitan association
In the matter of allotting tournaments
to the various courses. It has been
tho custom in the past to take the
events in turn. The result has. been
that not infrequently important com
petitions have been decided over links
that were entirely unfit for them.
A prominent Philadelphia golfer has
this to say on the situation:
"It would be much more sensible for
tho association to appoint a committee
of tho leading players, for they alone
fully appreciate tho requirements of a
championship course, and Instruct
them carefuly In my opinion there
are but four courses in Philadelphia
which even closely approached the re
quirements In any event, the re
stricting of the big events to certain
courses would benefit the game in two
ways first, by furnishing a real test
of tho game when titles are in the
balance, and secondly, by improving
courses everywhere. f
"Take Yale, for example, a club
which was not selected Tho green
committee would naturally awake to
tho fact that Its course did not find
favor in the eyes of the leading golf
ers and, In order to gain recognition,
the conditions would be improved un-
I Hm.w nnsncni'i.iTi jii umw hi im.iyn J
til sufficiently worthy of a place
among the elect. I think tho Phila
delphia players who were Belected for
the Philadelphia team In the Lesley
cup matches would make a very satis
factory committee, for they are all
men who know the game and would
not permit sentiment to override their
judgment "

er good of the very game of boxing
Itself.
New York Cuts Them Out,
Tho other night a prominent uegio
heavyweight met another fairly well
known one in New York In tho semi
final bout two second-class white fight
ers were the contestants That in It
self Is an undesired condition In view
of tho fact that nearly every ono of
the spectators was a white man f
the races had been reversed it would
have been equally undesirable ne
groes watching white men in the prin
cipal event. Such a thing undoubt
edly is bad for the game. Tho New
York paper mentioned made Its story
aiound the semi-final bout between
the white mon and at tho end had a
brief sentence saying. "Two negroes
were the opponents In the final bout "
Next time, according to the later de
termination of the sporting editor, the
sentence will bo left off
Johnson a Disgrace.
Thero is no doubt that Johnson has
been the most promlnont negro be
fore the public eye In lecent years
In this country And his dastardly acts
have been about as low as one can
conceive Every proper spirited ne
gro Is ashamed of him and hopes that
full justicewill bo his portion in the
affair atCliicago It is not negroes
as a whole that Johnson has shamed
most, but negro boxers Nobody can
think of another negro fighter without
his thoughts flashing to Johnson and
then having a distasteful opinion of
negro fighters ns a whole
If tho color line Is drawn definitely
and firmly for a few years or a few
months may be enough the situation
as to the heavyweight championship
can be cleared up "White men will
fight only among themselves, and ne
groes should fight among themselves.
Negroes and whites should not box
each other any more than they should
marry each other Moreover, white
promoters should not try to offer ne
gro fights If the great majority of the
spectators are to be white persons,
and vice versa.
With the Jim Flynn-Luther McCnr-ty-Al
Palzer heavyweight tournament
being run off in California there Is
a certainty that its culmination will
find a more than fair man possessing
the title conferred bj Coffroth It Is
possible, of course that this man may
not be the best white fighter in the
world, but why not call him the cham
pion just for the sake of having a
champion? He can go ahead and meet
the others one by one defondlng his
tltlo This would add the old romance
to tho game, the spirit of hero wor
ship that thrived during the halcyon
days of SullIvRn,. Corbett. FItzslm

Eastern Colleges Pre
paring for the Mid
Winter Events.
New York, Dec. 14. With an enthu
siasm greater than over before the
eastern colleges, especially Harvard,
Columbia, Yale and Princeton, are
busy putting a coat of shellac on
their rebpectlYe hockey teams pre
paratory to the midwinter events
Each ono of these institutions boasts
a team of championship caliber. These
teams have been carefully selected
from a host of applicants and it has
kept the coaches busy picking out
tho classiest from among tho col
lego aspirants for hockey honors
At Columbia, when Coach Tom
Howard called for candidates for tho
hockey team, he precipitated a near
riot. It looked as though every oth
er man at the university wanted to
demonstiate his piowcss in pursuing
the elusive puck.
Columbia Handicapped.
Columbia 1b handicapped, howeor,
in not having a rink of Its own. Tho
team is obliged to practice at the
St. Nicholas rink, and as only a lim
ited number of tickets can be pro
cured at one time, the coach will
have a difficult time in getting a
correct lino on tho CO or more can
didates. The probabilities are that Colum
bia will build an outdoor rink on the
South field and wait for the cold
weather to freozo It over.
But the work of selecting a seven
for Columbia Is helped out a great
deal from tho fact that two of tho t
stars of lastT year's team are avail- '
able this year, and from this nucleus
a full team can quickly bo built up.
The star of last ycur's Columbia
team was Captain J. S. Bates, the
rover. He will play this year. Tho
othor Is It J. Trlmblo, a senior, who
was very effective last yoar in defen
sive work It Is safe to predict that
one of tho now recruits will bo W.
Todd, who played on tho freshman
team last season and mado a remark
able showing both In defonsive and
offensive play He will probably bo
assigned a position in tho back field.
They Expect to Win.
With this foundation Columbia ex
pects to so in and win the majority of
her games this season.
But the man who stands out as tho
gilt edged nonpareil hockey shooter
of the intercollegiate field is none
other than our old friend "Ho'oe" Ba
ker, Princeton's prince of the grid
iron, whom Walter Camp did not
hesitate to place 'In his first all
Amcrlcan football team.
Hobe a Great Player.
"Hobe" on the Ice is a thing of
supreme grace, agility and speed
Combine those qualities with a Juli
us Caesar courage and you have a
hockey player worth going miles to
seo.
He is captain of the Princeton's
hockey team, which holds last year's
title.
Harvard Boasts Best Team.
Harvard Is to the front with the 10
mark that she has the best hockey
team she ever had and intimates
that It is the best any college ever
had
She will have ample opportunity to
demonstrate this with Yale, Princeton
and Columbia .
McGill's Classy Team.
Oh, yes, there Is McGiil university
up there in Canada.
The McGIIl boys think they hae
about as classy a team as ever shot
the puck over the ice and thej' are
coming to Boston and New York this
winter to prove it
Ells Will Cut Some Ice.
And Yale should not worry With
four veterans of last year and a h03t
of rattling good youngsters to pick
from, tho Ells will bo in thero cut
ting Ico all the time.
In any event, it is a great game.
It Is swift, thrilling and picturesque,
and for that reason It Is attracting
more public attention every year.
For a long tlmo tho collcgos wore
not taking their hockey games seri
ously. But when the public bogan
to pour In, and Incidentally pour mon
ey Into the college coffers, the boys
woke up and decided It was worth
while after all.

FANS KEEPING AN
EYE ON SENATORS
New York, Dec 14 All baseball
fans, particularly the American league
protagonists, are invited to keep their
eye on tho Washington team next
season. This invitation comes from
some of tho Senators themselves. The
i eason they invite this Inspection Is
that they are all worked up over their
pitching staff, which they say will
prove to be the best mound artists
In the American league or their name

They say the only thing that kept
Cashionn from twinkling as a bright

wobbly control. This defect, say his
sponsors, the Senators, he has entire
