D—2 OLYMPICS IGNORE GREAT U, S, GAME Omission of Diamond Sport From Exhibitions May Indicate Decline. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, February 12.— In the fact that base ball will not be included in the demonstration of games typical of the nation sponsoring the tenth Olympiad at Los Ange- les next Summer may be found as signal an indication of the decline of our national sport as has been observed to date. Is base ball any longer our na- tional game? The question arises out of the action of the Olympic authorities in selecting foot ball and lacrosse for exhibition to rep- resentatives of world athletics as sports peculiar to this country. In any case, if the foreign athletes and their followers want to see a base ball game they will have to go to the | pro ball park and see the local Pacific Coast Leagug team. But, upon second thought, it may well be that the Eagles will be playing away from home from the first to the middle of August, so as | not to conflict with the international | meet, If 50, that will be too bad. Lacrosse Truly American. Of course, if you delve down into the roots of American sport the game of Jacrosse would be found to be most deeply embedded in our soil. The In- dians played it before white men ever set foot in this country. So there is| every sanction for exalting it before the | world as an indigenous sport. As for the relative antiquity of foot ball and base ball, a search of amateur records shows that they were playing foot ball after a fashion as far back as 1840, 92 years ago. The ball consisted of a beef bladder, inflated and pro- tected by a leather cover, Sides were chosen, any number, and the ball was kicked, never carried. But even this elementary pastime had been imj from Engiand and it endures today in eneric form in England, the United subes and other countries under the designation, soccer. Base ball, as we all know, got its great impulse in the Civil War, when soldiers of the Union, and to a less degree of the Confederacy, whiled away spare time in camp with bat and ball. Colleges Played in 1850. But the game had appeared before that. It grew, so far as may be told, out of hand ball or “fives,” which students at Yale, Princeton and Har- vard were playing in 1850. Seven years later the collegians ol teams and went in for “town ball,” or “the old Connecticut game,” whatever that was. Certainly #t was not base ball as base ball was understood in Brooklyn, the birthplace of the modern game. But in 1858 the Brooklyn idea had spread and many nines throughout the East were playing a game upon which modern base ball is based. Intercollegiate base ball was played ‘before the Civil War, but the first inter- collegiate foot ball game, Princeton- Rutgers, was not played until 1369. So while the germ of foot ball in the United States may claim seniority, base ball as an organized game is cer- tainly entitled to precedence. None the less, base ball is out of the Olympic scheme and when foreign visi- tors leave Los Angeles the game will be ‘what it was when they arrived—metely & name, ‘Y’ MATMEN RETURN HAGERSTOWN VISIT| Hand Ball Team Will Open Sea-| son in Match Tomorrow With Baltimore Y.

Y., February 12. —The old saying that a man’s best friend is his dog takes on s new significance when you talk with Leonhard Seppala, the fore- most dog-sied driver in the sport today. Famed the world over for his herolo dash from Shactoolik to Gulovan Bay with the serum that meant salvation to diphtheria-stricken Nome, the wiry Norwegian, now a citizen of the United States, has had a life so full of thrill- ing experiences that it dwarfs the blood-curdling tales of Jack London and overshadows the hair-raising paper-covered novels of Nick Carter's mustachioed era. Seppala was born_with the call of the wild ringing in his ears. And he is happy only when he journeys over the white expanses of the Arctic and breezes scream and howl through the long, cold nights and the snowdrifts vanish before warm suns. For him & trackless waste of frozen snow, a silent forest, a bleak gray sky and a yelping team of huskies represent man’s earthly paradise. Hewn from the tough ice of the Northern Scandinavia and hardened by a life spent fighting the elements of the great outdoors, he can beat a trail over the white expanses of the Arctic zone with speed and endurance that Jaughs at the fury of icy blasts, the blinding blizzards and wolf-haunted wilderness.

He drove a team then, and he is driving one now, and he thanks the stars a thousand times a day that fate sent him to the dogs— literally speaking. He laughed reminiscently as he thought of the 19 luckless years he spent searching for the glittering metal. “I mever struck it rich,” is the way he expressed it, “but then T shouldn't kick, for most of the men who were with me then are gone now, Those who found their pot of gold at the end of Alaska's rainbow are either dead or broke, while I—well, I've always had my dogs and I still have my health, I'm getting old, to be sure,” he went on with a surge of boyish enthusiasm, “but, believe it or not, I can still turn half a'dozen hand- sp! s without any trouble and keep up with the best in the sled game.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. CHXCAGO, February 12.— There were 93,519,400 rounds of golf played in these United States dur- board of Herbert Graffis, the lead- ing statistician of the game. While that tremendous total rep- resents more participants than the combined spectator attend- ance at base ball, foot ball and boxing contest, there was quite a decline in golf play as compared with 1930. The 2,350 18-hole courses of the country provided farrways and greens for 68,796,000 of the total rounds, over our 3,341 9-hole layouts. Com- parctive figures show that the play over 18-hole courses wis off 12 per cent from 1930, but that therc was a decline of only 4 per cent on the 9- hole clubs. Business conditions largely were re- sponsible for the decrease in golf play, but the tremendous heat wave that swept the country last year also had its effect and many professionals re- ported that for several weeks in Mid- summer courses were practically de- serted. Regardless of the reasuns, there was less of a decline in golf through 1931 than in any other sport. RAFFIS' statistics show a stagger- ing total of $830,039.298 invested in golf courses, cifb houses and other appurtenances in this country. Of that amount $732,746,450 is invested in 18-hole clubs, an average of $311.- 807, while $91,302,848 represents the assessed value of the 9-hole courses. There also are 115 clubs with extra hole facilities, that range from 27 to 90 holes, with an added value of $5,990,000. A conservative estimate places the number of active golfers in this coun- try at 2,072,614. Of those 640,814 are members of private clubs with 18 or more holes. The private 9-hole courses showed & total membership of 477,750, with some 45,000 more holding what is | known as a social membership in some sort of a private club. The 632 18-hole, daily-fee courses produced 695,200 more players, while the 611 9-hol>, pay-as- | you-play links contributed 213850 | These figures include only regular play- fer:“m]%fli:mn’s es{.lxmn(ed there were at | leas .000 others w] y | intermittently.
