There will be no change In the rule
governing stymies In the Paclflo North
west patriotic golf tournament ached -tiled
for Portland, June 26-80. C H.
Davis, Jr.. president of the Paclflo
Northwest Golf Association, decided
yesterday not to take any action fa
voring; either the Western Golf Asso
ciation, which has just abolished sty
mies, or the United States Golf Asso
ciation, which Just now Is very much
at outs with Its younger 'yet more ro
bust rival over the stymie and the
amateur questions.
"The Waverley Country Club Is a
member of both associations," said
President Davis yesterday. "We take
the stand that It would be unwise for
the Paclflo Northwest Association to
precipitate this fight between the two
major associations. The Western body
evolved the drastic legislation abolish
ing the tlmeworn stymie and we feel
that It Is up to the Western to experi
ment first before we join In the argu
ment either one way or the other."
This declaration by the chief execcu
tlve of the Scotch pastime in the states
of Washington. Oregon, Idaho, Montana
and the Province of British Columbia
will tend to clarify an atmosphere of
uncertainty created by the conflicting
rules. Some of the more enterprising
linksmen have evidenced a disposition
to abide by the non-stymie legislation,
while the more staid and conservative
have refused to permit the near ball to
be played first.
The result has been that new avenues
of argument have opened to the golf
Is ts.
Graham Glass, chairman of the tour
nament committee, made public the of
ficial schedule of events for the tour
nament yesterday, together with an
outline of the plan whereby the usual
prize money is to be diverted to the
Red Cross fund.
The ournament will open at 8 A. M.
Mo lay, June 25, at Waverley, and will
last until Saturday night. The men will
qualify 36 holes Monday and the
women will qualify 18 holes Tuesday.
The open championship for amateurs
and professionals will begin Friday
morning. Finals in both the men's
and women's championship events will
be played Saturday.
Mixed foursomes, putting and other
special events have been provided by
the committee.
Chairman Glass estimates that the
tournament will Insure to the Red
Cross a fund of not less than $1200.
Instead of awarding expensive silver
cups and trophies, war meedals will
be given and the difference in cost will
be given to the Red Cross.
The full amount saved in this plan
will be distributed pro rata among the
clubs represented in the tournament,
according to the number entered. These
checks will then be reforwarded by the
Individual clubs to National Red Cross
headquarters. The clubs In British
Columbia will forward their checks to
the organization In Canada doing work
similar to the American Red Cross.
Advance entries indicate that the
tournament will be the most successful
In the history of Northwestern golf.

ETHICS IS INVOLVED
Decisions Sometimes lUullified
by Players.
JUDGES' JOBS NOT EASY
Many Capable Followers of Tennis
Decline to Act as Officials Be
cause Players Too Often
Find Fault.
NEW YORK, June 9. (Special.)
Those who have undertaken the task
of enlisting a corps of competent of
ficials to act as linesmen and Judges
at lawn tennis matches, somewhat in
advertently have started an amount of
activity that promises to leave a sting
behind as a memento before things
again become quiet. It is all due to the
fact that many of the most famous
players of the world occasionally take
matters entirely in their own hands
purposely to nullify the decision ren
dered by the official whether he sits
on a chair on a line or in the High
stool at the net.
The problem presented is highly In
teresting because of the ethics in
volved. It is a question as to whether
or not it is good sportsmanship obvi
ously to present your opponent with
a point because of a real or fancied
error on the part of the linesmen, or
by so going it Is in the nature of a
direct insult to the man officiating on
the line and who is acting with all the
powers of intelligence he possesses.
Furthermore, is it legally within the
rights and privileges of the competitor
to present his adversary with a point
either by playing off of service or
stroking the ball into the net? The
thing that those engaged In discussing
the subject are trying to fathom Is
whether or not such acts, and they are
witnessed In nearly every important
tournament, are actually as high-spirited
and high-minded as they have here
tofore, appeared and been accepted.
Reginald F. Doherty, the famous
British player and champion of Eng
land, who died several years ago, re
versed the decision of a linesman in
the memorable challenge match for the
American National title on the historic
turf of the Casino, at Newport, R. I.,
in August, 1902. On that occasion W.
A. Lamed outfought th- Briton through
nve great sets. It was In one of the
close and critical games of the deciding
sets that a linesman called a ball as
good that was driven deeply Into the
American's court, and which Lamed
failed fairly to return. Doherty was
quick to note that Lamed believed that
the judge had made an error; possibly
he may have had the same opinion.
Anyway he deliberately threw away
the next point by serving a double
fault out of court. The act at the time
was applauded as a fine piece of sports
manship. It embodied the sort of he
roics that thrills the gallery. Still it.
served to embitter a loyal follower of
the game who then and there resolved
never again to judge a match.
The discussion of the subject, which
In a measure has been developed be
cause of utterances of H. F." "Weller, a
Californian. appears likely to accom
plish considerable good. One thins it
has made clear Is that many capable
followers of the game are averse to
accepting a position as judge because
of the frequent disagreement as to de
cisions, and that every now and then
the official Is made ridiculous because
one of the competitors voluntarily
"chucks" a point, with consequent em
barrassment to the judge.
TOMMY M'TAGGART SUSPENDED
Famous Jockey Violates Kule 213,
Which Kegulates Betting.
NEW YORK, June 9. (Special.)
The Jockey Club stewards sprang a
surprise on race-goers by suspending
Totnmy Mc-Taggart, who is one of the
best Jockeys now wearing silks. Tom
my's license was taken away from him
for violating rule 213, which says that
no jockeys can bet unless through the
owners of their mounts.
Dan McTaggart, a brother of Tommy;
M. F. Sheedy and George Phillips were
forbidden by the stewards to act as
agents to arramge mounts for Jockeys.
Tommy and his brother, Johnny, pro
vided the spectators at Jamaica this
season with most sensational finishes,
frequently having been fighting It out
between- themselves for first money,
riding against each other as deter
minedly as though, tney were strangers.
GOLFER WHO HAS A BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT SATURDAY A. JL By Brings.
SAN FRANCISCO FIGHT FANS PAY
TRIBUTE TO LATE LESLIE DARCY
Special Exercises Are Held When Body of Great Fighter Arrives En Route
to Australia Four-Round Bouts Fail to Draw Crowds.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal- June 9.
(Special.) That San Francisco, as
has been said, -is a city of senti
ment was most forcibly demonstrated
In the exercises held one day this week
as a tribute to the memory of James
Leslie Darcy, the great Australian
middleweight, whose body passed
through here on its return to Aus
tralia. About a week ago there was a sug
gestion In one of the papers that San
Francisco sportsmen should take no
tice of the passing of Darcy.
No. sooner said than done. Half a
dozen men called, the writer and sug
gested a gathering of the clans. A
small notice called for a meeting of
those Interested. They Arranged for
a temporary organization and a later
meeting. It wa3 agreed that Darcy
was entitled to recognition. The sum
of $200 was raised and arrangements
made for holding funeral services.
Mickey Hawkins, Darcy's boon com
panion, who is taking the body back to
the land of the Southern Cross, was
met at the train by a committee of
sportsmen and told of the plans. He
fell In line with what San Francisco
wanted to do and there was not a
hitch in the programme.
True Sportsnianxhlp Shown.
From the Sunset Limited the body
was taken to an undertaker, whose
services had been volunteered. That
was on Saturday last. On Sunday the
body was removed to Eagles' Hall,
where It was placed In state that those
who cared might view it..
On Monday funeral services were
held. Rev. Father Joseph J. McQuaide
Conducted the services and in a brief
talk spoke of the heart-felt sympathy
that caused the sportsmen of San
Francisco to do such a thing.
"In my experience," he said, 'II have
never known of an incident that has
touched me more. All honor to you
sportsmen wtio have done this."
There were more than 500 in the hall
for the funeral and more than 400 took
part In the line of march. The funeral
cortege traveled two miles down Mar
ket street and over the cobblestones of
East street to the steamer dock, but
not a man dropped o"ut. Six women
marched the entire distance, and one
cripple a man with but a single leg
walked along gamely with his com
rades. Old-Timers In Cortege.
Johnny Herget, who as Young Mit
chell was one of the foremost middle
weights many years ago, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies and was one of the
pallbearers. Jack Welsh and Jim Grif
fin, world-known referees; Spider
Kelly, than whom there has been no
better fight second; Eddie Haclon, Sol
Levlnson, manufacturer of boxing
gloves; Alec Greggains- old-time pro
moter and the chap who discovered Abe
Attell; Jack Curley, the New York
fight promoter; Zhyszko, the wrestler;
Eddie Campi, Moose Taussig and many
others known to the fistic game were
among those In line.
And the striking feature was the
Instant recognition from the people
who Jammed the sidewalks, attracted
as they were by the escort, of mounted
police and the band. There was no
need to tell them what this funeral
meant. Hats were doffed as the cas
ket arrived In sight and there was
an air of sorrow that was undeniably
from the heart.
Many Floral Offering Received.
, Mickey Hawkins, who is the lone
some friend of Darcy, viewed the affair
from a limousine.
"It's great," he said, "the greatest
that could happen. ' You couldn't do
more for one of your Presidents. The
Australian people shall hear of this
and they will appreciate what San
Francisco has done for them."
Floral offerings came from various
parts of the United States. New York
and Chicago sportsmen telegraphed
Jack Curley to have representation and
Tom S. Andrews from Milwaukee tele
graphed Sol Levlnson to have a floral
piece arranged.
In addition to the perishables, there
were two wreaths that are to be sent
to Australia and a silver plate, with
the flags of the United States and the
Australian commonwealth intertwined,
together with a sentiment from this
city.
San Francisco, you understand, had
never known Les Darcy. He had never
visited this city, but the sportsmen
felt that Darcy had been misunder
stood and received the. worst of it. In
a small way It was their desire to cor
rect this impression, and so It was the
Golden West did the very best It could.
According to Jack Curley, the new
sUUtt of affairs in Kew York, as re
Copyrighted 1917 by The
gards boxing isn't going to do much
damage.
"There was boxing In Gotham before
the Frawley law." said Jack, "and there
will continue to be. The clubs will be
forced to operate under the member
ship scheme. But they made money
that way and I don't see why they
can't repeat.
"As a matter of fact, a whole lot of
promoters haven't been able to pay
the big percentage demanded by the
state and still exist. There were clubs
under the old regime that went broke
when the Frawley bill became a law.
Now I look to see them flourish once
more.
"New York City wants to see boxing
matches and the authorities are not
going to call a halt. The champions
will be on tap Just as they were be
fore." .
Curley, by the way, has made an
offer of a 120,000 purse between Benny
Leonard, the new lightweight cham
pion, and Charlie White, of Chicago.
Curley wants a 20 or 25-round match,
and says he has a location close enough
to New York to draw the crowds. He
will not disclose his place, but the
sports out this way have it doped as
close to Baltimore, where long-distance
matches can be handled.
Jack argues that White is the logical
contender. He points out that the Chi
cago boy gave Welsh the battle of his
existence in the Denver match a year
ago about this time and he thinks he
ought to have the privilege of an
other battle.
Attendance at the local four-round
fights continues to lag. The promoters
have been trytng to tempt the fans
with some fine-looking cards, but so
far the audiences have not returned to
normal.
Nobody seems to know Just what is
the trouble, unless for some reason or
another the boys are bent on saving
their money. Of course the supply of
worth-while matches has fallen below
par. but that cannot altogether account
for the slackening In Interest.
Al Young, who conducts a small club
In the Mission district, makes money
with his association club fights, but
he charges a small admission fee and
the "medals" he hands to the winners
are by no means aa expensive as those
given away at Dreamland Rink.
Tommy Simpson, the 'Oakland pro
moter. Is getting along In better fash
ion. The police are by no means as
strict In barring the professionals, end
that helps. Billy Murphy, who Is well
known as a scrapper of the professional
type, was allowed to appear the other
afternoon against Battling Ortega.
Willie Meehan can also show in that
section, and so can half a dozen others,
equally as prominent. v
GOLF NOT EXPENSIVE GAME
In Addition, Saving: on Doctor Bills
Is Attractive Feature.
NEW YORK. June 9. (Special.)
Arthur Heine, secretary-treasurer of
the Bayslde Links, has made the dis
covery that golf is not an expensive
game..
The Bayslder cites an Illustration this
wise:
"A theater seat costs more than a
green fee. measures only 2x3 feet and Is
occupied only a couple of hours, while
the golfer has the freedom ad. lib. of
over 100 acres of highly cultivated land
for the whole day. All of which im
plies practically good value for a day's
sport.
"If a ledger account were set up it
would show a saving to the golfer on
baseball, doctor bills, gas and oil for
long motor runs and other expenses In
cluded when not on the links, nothwith
standlng club dues, green fees, caddie
charge and other disbursements. With
public and seml-publlo links now open
a golfer does not have to figure any
more for a day's sport at golf than for
any other form of outing or recreation.""

B. B. Alexander. San Diego. Cal. Thanks
for your thanks. Our trouble Is simply re
paid by she many letters received each week
from The Oregonlan readers of the chess
and checker departments, with solutions,
contributions and expressions of encourage
ment. The editor believes that these scien
tific games are not only beneficial as men
tal drills, but are the means of attracting
many noeslbly from more dangerous pursuits
into the study of the most Interesting, harm
less and time-honored pastimes, and pro
viding a source -of innocent amusement and
relaxation to the minds of the wearied work
ers. W. L. B., Salem. Or. The "huff or
"blow" in checkers Is (before one plays his
own plece to remove from the board any
one of the adverse pieces that might or
should have taken a piece. But the hurf
or blow never constitutes a play. The
player has the power to compel the huff, the
take, -or to let the piece remain on the
board.
