HERE are two sides to the argu- ment about the Metropolitan golf championship, from which ‘outsiders—who haven't resided in the Metropolitan district for six months e been barred: rule holds good in A. A. U, Metropolitan champion- hip events, It is dificult to see why resident of Oregon, for instance, should be the champion golfer of New York. The Metropplitan is an evont held to determine who Is the best golfer in the Metropolitan district. If local golfers are to be accused of mug hunting becauso they wish to bar out- rs, what about the outsiders who travel around the country looking for chances to “horn in” on local eventa and carry off the prizes? They aren't mug hunters, of course. They do it merely for love of the sport, for recre- ation and for healthful exercise. Yea, Bo! ELL, well. Jess Willard hasn't been heard from in at least twenty-four hours. Neither has Tom Jones. Tom hasn't renewod bis offer to allow Jess to fight little ; Carpentier for $76,000, purely for the arituble purpose of giving the i neh champion @ chance to earn | $20,000 or #o to give to the fund for | wounded French soldiers.

OKING aside, Willard might even go beyond $1.50. It's claimed that he has put away over $300,000 since he whipped Johnson, ‘That may be a slight exaggeration—say about « 200 per cent. exaggeration. Hut In any case Willard certainly has earned and banked enough money to keep him in much luxury as he needs for the rest of his life, Ho isn't a high liver or w fellow of extravagant tastes, Ho likes the almple life fairly well. The wolf will never howl outside his door, A ten-round bout with Carpentier wouldn't mean much exertion for Wil- lard, and it wouldn't Interfere with any real fight In the future, Willard could box Carpentier and donate his whole share of the gate money to the French wounded fund.

I McGraw—and @ very welcome hand, at that—was felt when the National League spent two hours yesterday discussing an improvement in the playing rules that will encour- age base running.
