In a letter, sent to members today, the house and the sports and pastimes committees advise that the rules forbid tipping of waiters, course starters and caddies, pointing out in diplomatic language that the practice CHICAGO. May 18—A formal campaign against’ tipping, with severe leads to undemocratic discrimination It is advertised to the members that any infraction of the rulé will cause the member to be cited to ap- pear before the board of governors and the recipient of the gratuity to be forthwith dismissed from service. In many cases golfers have tipped caddies because of friendliness for the lad Who helped them win a game by careful attention, or saved them expenses by unerringly finding balls driven into the rough, but gradually a situation developed in which cer- tain members found that they could get the choice caddies by liberal dis- tribution of money to caddies and caddy masters, and that they could buy for themselves quick service in the restaurant and unlicensed chances to start when they pleased by feed- ing the waiters and the course at- tendants. z Rules against tipping have been posted by a number of clubs, but such drastic action as is now threat- ened by the Olympia Fields Club is without precedent LUCKY LASS IS WINNER OF 313-MILE BIRD RACE The first race of the National Capi- tal Concourse Association of racing pigeon fanciers was held Sunday, from Mount_Vernon, Ohio, 313 miles air- line.

By the Associated Press, * HONOLULU, T. Hawaiian branch of A U. n has_thrown down the gauntlet to the national body in the controversy over Duke 'Kahanamoku and his varnish advertisement and refused to obey the national body’s mandate to de- clare the Hawaiian sprint swimming champion a professional. The local organization's decision was unan- imous. The Hawaiian A. A. U.. in announc- ing its resolve, declared that when Duke appeared in magazine advertis. ing columns as indorsing a brand of varnish as_good medicine for surf boards he did nothing to invoke the A. A. U. ban. Duke, as a swimmer, comes under A. A. U. jurisdiction and Honolulu officials, but as a surf-board rider he is indulging in the private pastime with which the A. A. U. has nothing to_do. Johnny Weissmuller, boy wonder of the Tilinois Athletic Club, arrived yes- terday to participate in swimming events. His manager, Coach Bach- rach, declared Weissmuller will ac cept ‘the decision of the local official and is willing to race Kahanamoku either in tank or in open water, but a recent attack of influenza peeled twenty-six pounds of fat and tissue from the frame of Kahanamoku and may eliminate him from competition against Weissmulle ‘Dad” Center, Duke’s trainer, said he feared the Hawaiian star might be unable to get into condition for the May or June meets here, in _which event it would be up to Pua and War- ren Kealoha and ‘W. Harris to carry Hawaii's colors. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. League.

Without Ruth and Meusel, hungry managers licked their chops in anticipation the feast they would have at Huggin: expense. It looked as if they were soing to get it, but they haven’t. Cold figures show that the Yankees, in spite of the thrashing that Detroit gave them, are playing better ball than they did last spring. Lots of folks wouldn't believe it if the figures were not on record. The real falling off in the league as compared with a year ago is in Wash- ington, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston and Detroit. The clubs that have ained are New York, St. Louis and hiladelphia. Here enters another coincidence. ‘The clubs that have gained in the Na- tional League race are from the same cities as those which show gains in the American League. New York, St. Louis and Philadelphia are better off in percentage than they were.a year 8go. The others have wasted away. Pittsburgh shows a feverish decline and Boston is in the last stages, eighth place. The Chicago Cubs, about which there has been so much crowing, have not won as many games as a year ago.

Early in last night's play it appeared | that the champion had cinched the match, but the brilliant display of bil- | liards made by Cochran in the last; frames forced Schaefer to the limit and | the hardest fight of ‘the match is pre- | dicted for tonight. Schaefer has an advantage in that when the final play is started he will have the balls in a position to continue on the run which gave him the score of ! 500 in the second block. This should be the critical point in the match for the champion. Thfi' score now stands 1,000 to 919, but if the champion misses early in his first frame Cochran will have a good opportunity to overcome | lthlu small lead. Cochran's showing In tonight's play depends on his nerve. There s no lack of it in the young biiliard player, as he displayed last night when at the end | of the tenth frame he was 285 points behind the champion. - ‘WILL PROBE MAT BOUTS.
