May S Many times in the course of a tournament, comment is heard to the effect that if the rules of golf were better known there would be far fewer questions to submit to tha committees and a great deal less argu ment over the points of the game. In order to encourage this, the as sociation points out so frequently that golf would be much more enjoyable if those who plaved It took care to know the rules. hls point is strongly made by the Massachusetts Golf as sociation in an ante season announce ment, and at the same time the golfers of the Bay state are urged to devote a little study to tne regulations. For instance, the beginning of the lengthy article is as follows: "Facills est decensus Averni." which, for the benefit of the would-be golfers, may be freely translated: Ton'll have a devil of a time if you don't know the rules." A ItouKb lload. "Let us consider what may happen to a player unacquainted with the rule starting in a stroke competition. lie tees his ball on the first teeing ground, swings vigorously at it and misses It.

LET'S Put-l-Tm6 CoRlir( "Beck's" Amen Corner nr "beck." QRGANIZATION of the stock company that will handle the El Paso club in the Rio Grande league is now being completed. John McCloskey had to effect a temporary organization some time ago so that he could devote the greater portion of his time to organizing the league. Now that the league is in proper form, he is giving his time to his own organization and is meeting -with great success. f-HARGES of "fake" in the John- son-Willard fight have been freely made but no one with any knowledge of the ring stood behind them. Now comes a man who should be in a position to know John R. Robinson, manager of Bat tling Nelson and the man who acted as official press agent at Havana. In a letter to the writer, Robinson adds this line: "The 'fight' was a fraraeup the rawest thing ever palled." WHEN the new section of the grandstand is completed at the Wyoming street grounds, El Paso will have one of the finest minor league baseball plants in the coun try. yrHERE are the stars among the local women tennis players? They are not showing the expected interest in their special events in the Border States tournament, which opens at the Country club in just three weeks more. 3r DENNY CORDOVA, the local light weight, is coming along at a great pace and reports from San Antonio indicate that although he lot a decision to Jack Read on Tuesday night, he was really en titled to the verdict T30RDERI.AND route will get some more advertising if Edwin G. Baker, of Los Angeles, succeeds in lowering the transcontinental auto Tecerd. He starts Thursday night from San Diego and is due here Sat urday night. -i- lITTY KNIGHT has something left in the old soup bone. Kitty Bitched nice ball on Wednesday and he capped it all with clever fielding of his position. With the assist ance of Jack Bliss, he pulled oS a snappy play in the first inning that saved a score when they nabbed Seaton off third. And Seaton isn't any slouch on the bases, either. T ADIES' DAY was hardly ideal from a weather standpoint at the ball park on Wednesday but the presence of the fair sex seemed to have a steadying effect on both teams and the fans had a chance to see some good ball. Hurley dug up another pitcher who looks awful good and it was only when he tired and weakened in the seventh that the locals got a chance to bring home the bacon. But just watch las Cruces. They now nave four good twirlers although it is whispered that "Honest John" is trying to "talk turkey" and make a trade for one of them. CTONEY M'GLYNN was over to see the sights of Juarez a night or two after he arrived here. But the story of what happened is just getting out Stoney got curious to see the full workings of the barracks over there and came near getting run in. Asked how it happened that he got away when one of his companions was detained for an hour or two, Stoney replied: "Well, I couldn't talk to the guy so I gave him the 'waste ball sign. He must have been a ball player for he told me in plain sign language to "beat it. I did." And that's why they are kidding the veteran about the "waste ball."

But this year, with the Athletics going poorly and the Phillies treat ing themselves to a flyiBg start, the situation is far different- and a very disastrous one to Connie Mack. Lucks Seasoned Pitcher. n, OTostMt trouble with the Ath letics seems to be the lack of a sea soned pitcher. If Connie had retained either Bender or Plank It would have made the Athletics at least 20 percent stronger than they are now, because Connie would have had a veteran pitch er for relief duty.
