BENZOL-BLEND | 'BETHOLIN | Starts Instantly Even in Coldest Weather AT EQUITABLE DIVISION OF PLAGES Players Will Be Made to| Qualify in Own Sections. Ouimet Exempted. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, February 11— Certain changes in the methods governing the qualifying rounds of the national amateur championship | are now being formulated by the | United States Golf Association, which will make the selective ma- chinery equitable to all players! and all sections. The number of sectional quali- | fying venues very likely will be reduced from 20 to 18—or 17 ot the outside—and players no longer will be permi.ted to yua..- fy in any save their home region except for a very logical rea*‘cn,} Where a player is permitted to qual- | ify outside of his home district he will | not be charged to the sector in which he competes, BUY AllL ONE region. Such & rule will prevent play- ers from seeking to qualify in a sec- tion where the competition may be less | severe than the one in which they have residence. The U. 8. G. A. also will reserve to itself 10 places in the field of 150 that will appear at Five Farms, Baltimore, for the proper qualifying rounds of the champlonship. These places are re- served for emergencies, and if the as- sociation sees fit it may use a portion of the reserve positions for players it may want to invite into the competi- tion. T also is possible the U. S. G. A. may reallocate places in the champion- ship field after the entry list for the sectional qualifying rounds has been closed. Last year, when the championship was played at Beverly, the Chicago district had 180 entries in the preliminary test and was given 34 places in the second qualifying play. This proportionately was too great a number, and the Championship Com- mittee will prevent any such recurrence in the future. The strength and weak- ness of players in certain sections will govern the number of places they are allotted, and every effort will be made to arrive at a fair division of positions. The first sectional qualification for the amateur last f‘r‘flr proved a tre- mendous success, although its machin- ery was thrown together rather hur- riedly and without the opportunity for much study. Under the rearrange- ment of the rules this year the sec- tional qualifying plan should produce cne of the finest fields ever to com- | pete for the championship, | Mrs. Barney Dreyfuss has become the RANCIS OUIMET, the reigning amateur champion, will be the only player exempted from the sectional qualifying rounds, which is no more than right.

Ouimet, as captain of the United | States Walker Cup team, is giving seri- ous thought to the make-up of his squad, which will come up for selec- tion at the Spring meeting of the U. S. | G. A. 1t is considered likely that he | will select two thoroughly seasoned players for the backbone of his team, and that the remaining five will be chosen from the platoon of youngsters who have sprung up during the past three or four years. There will be no dearth of good players for the United | States team, and the Selection Com- | mittee's great problems will be to hit on the right ones. | No venue for the Walker Cup matches has been selected, but it is| probable that the international duel | will be staged in either the Boston | or metropolitan district.

FABER OUT FOR 19TH SEASON WITH CHISOX Spitball Veteran, 44 Years 01d Next September, Has Great Pitching Record. By the Asscciated Press. CHICAC: February 11.—When Urban “R.d” Faber first started to toss base balls the sages of Cascade, Towa, advised him not to jump around from job to job too much. So “Red” took the advice to heart. ‘Today he turned in his signed con- tract for his nineteenth straight season as pitcher for the White Sox, a club record. Faber, a beneficiary of the spit ball, will be 44 years old next September. In his 18 years with the White Sox he has seen service in 591 games, won 247, lost 195, while lending valuable advice to young pitchers.
