Golf Control in U. S. WEST'S FIGHT TO BRING “CODIFICATION OF RULES Prospect of War for Supremacy in America Said to Have Influenced Officers of U. S. Golf Association to Promise Concessions. SPORTS . /~\HICAGO. January 18—Codification of the rules of golf and other ( changes in the control of the game in America are expected to result from the threat of expansion by the Western Golf Asso- Hation and the decision to withheld action, according to details made sublic today by A. R. Gatesof Chicago, vice president, and James B. | Nugent of Kansas City, a director of the western association, who were | members of the committee that went to New York and arranged an armistice with the United Staies Golf Association. : o Details of the threatened war for supremacy in American golf, | given out after the annual meeting last week of the Western Golf Asso- ciation, showed that plans were on foot for committess of Scotch and English goliers to come to America this summer to revise the code of golf in a manner to satisfy Amcricans without changing the fundamentals of the game. . In the conferences with the officers of the U. S. G. A. the latter e.pressed disappointment at the slight cnanges obtained by the American committee that visited St Andrews last sumi- mer; it was thought an entering wedge had made it likely that fur- ther conferences would bring about A oriire rewriting of the rules. =o inat players would not have to searca through the entire code to find all the restrictions and penalties aita Ing to some one phase of play, as at present. ... Agreed to Reasonable Chanxe. ¢ It also transpired that officers of the U. S. G. A. had promised to try o' effect any reasonable chanze to a50id the threatened expansion of the western association, agreeing to make all its allied members. some 300 without votes, active members, together with some 150 clubs now in that class, provided 50 per cent of the allied clubs voted to become active members. The U. S. G. A. also ncreased its directors from 9 to 13 o include more western men. """ Previeus Efforts Futil 2 2 1ling of the threatened war an n? aeoldances.

OLDBUSTOAD GAME Cubs’ Manager Says Modern Base Ball Lacks Fight and Pep of Former Days. CHICAGO. January 18.—Revival of the oldtime base ball players’ bus for trips to and from the base ball park would go far toward’ restoring sim- plicity and a spirit of sportsmanship lo the game, Manager Johnny Evers of the Cubs declared today. “The old bus gave us a good whole- | §ome advertising, but at the same time it put real fun, chance for real teamwork and more honest-t0-g0od- ness pep in the game,” Evers declar- fed. “It made it more like a sport and less like a comm-reial proposition. “Remember how the manager and his team used to flle out of the hotel and into the bus. If we were the vis- {iting team the town was there to see jand jeer at us. Away we would go Aacross the town. the entire route one long line of yelling home-town boost- ers. By the time the park was reach- ed every one had heard something that made him full of fight. __“After the game we would pile back into the bus. A couple of thousand fans would stand around and give us a hooting, win or lose. We got it coming and going and loved it. “Hows is it today? tice makes the front of the park look like an automobile show. The play- ers breeze in at the last minute and brecze out as quickly as they can change clothes. The manager never Sees his men together except at game time.

There is nothing in the law to prevent him holding both positions, and there is-a great public demand that he continue as a federal judge, and also that he sit as the supreme arbiter in the na- tional sport. The department's decision means Judge Landis will not be hampered unless Congress should attempt to inmeach him, and the very idea of such action is unthinkable, with the tremendous hold Judge Landis has upon the respect and «dmiration of the entire country. GLEASON’S SQUAD BIG. Will Take More Than Forty Play- ers South—Jim Vaughn Signs. CHICAGO, January 18.—The White Sox squad is scheduled to depart for ‘Wazxahachie, Tex., March 4. Manager Gleasony, of the Chicago Americans has booked more than forty players to train in Texas, and the Sox party probably will be the largest major league delegation ever to Eo south for training. With Jim Vaughn's signature affixed to his 1921 contract today, Manager Evers of the Chicago Cubs has a large part of his pitching staff lined up_for next season. Evers says he plans to send his pitchers. with a catcher or two, to California about a week ahead of the main squad, which will leave Chicago for the training camp March 3. No Swaps After August 1. NEW YORK, January 18—The clos- ing date for the buying or trading of players between major league clubs will be August 1, according to an agreement made public by John Heydler.

Any- SPORTS. MATCH IS CONDITIONAL UPON BEATING JACKSON Mitchell’s Stage Fright Factor in Defeat by Benny—Hoppe Shows Lack of Sporting Spirit in Ignoring Horemans. BY FAIRPLAY. | EW YORK, January 18—Lew Tendler, Philadelphia lightweight, who is now in Milwaukee conditionifg himself for a bout with Willie Jackson of New York, is named as the next opponent for Benny Leonard, and the chances are that the fight will take place at Madison Square Garden before spring is well established. Of course, should Jackson happen to give Lew the sleeping sickness when the two boys meet in the Cream city, the New Yorker will be the one to face Leonard. But New York fans are not expecting this to happen. Tendler is clever and has a harder leit and right than any lightweight outside of Leonard. Tendler sew the Leonard-Mitchell bout, and when seen after it was over he said his only regret was that he, and not Mitchell. had not been Leon- ard's opponent. Just how sincere this regret was may not be said. A humble opinion is that Benny was at the top of his ability that night. He never touched Mitchell that he did not hurt him. and when he landed right with either and the Milwaukeean went 10 the floor as though he had been shot. Mitchell Had Stage Fright. Benny Leonard says that he took one glance at Mitchell when he en- tered the ring and saw that he had stage fright. So he planned to set out from the very sound of the bell for a knockout, without indulging in N in Reductions HESS | High Shoes | . This is not a sale of small body who watched Mitchell closely that night could see he was nervous, Indeed, it struck the writer that he was not altogether conscious of what was going on about him. When Ten- dler and Jackson were introduced to the crowd and came up to shake hands with him Mitchell took their proferred fists without the slightest sign: that he recognized them. And when Joe Humphreys presented the Milwaukee boy to the fans he looked dazedly about, rose slichtly from his chair and then sat down. There are those who think that if in another fight Mitchell let Leonard take the offensive, instead of doing practically all the rushing, he would have a better chance to win than he had under the methods he employed. i cept One—Lists Centre and West Virginia.
