TJrilaue golf items comei from for
tan lands from time to time, one of
the Satest being an account or
Chinese course which haaj been laid
out In a large cemetery.
Tits rather grewsome links are lo
cated near Tlcn-Tsln, and as the
Chinese bury their dead just below
the tsurfaee of the ground and then
mound lip the earth to a considerable
height, the course has been aptly
termed one of "A Thousand bunkers.
Special ground rules prevail, includ
Ing tone which permits a player to lift
his .ball from a freshly dug grave.

1 1 Harry Vardon, bIt times open cham
Plot of Great Britain and the presen
tttleliolder, has prepared a new edition
of his book. "The Complete Golfer.
The! new output contains ai chapter de-
oted to the American open cham
pionship at Brookllne in : September,
113. This addition alone should
make the book of. Interest to American
golfers. It was there Francis Oulmet
beat' Vardon and Ray In a play off for
the title.
. William Kllgour of New York re-
turtned from England recently, where
he (bought a lot of irons for his golf
shop at the Pelham park public links.
Kllgour says the war conditions in
England have put a damper on golf
enthusiasm for the present There
have been no arrangements made for
any tournaments next year over there,
nor la there any likelihood of any be
Ing held as long as the war lasts.
i ' j:
Although no official I decision has
been made. It can be said with some
certainty that there will be no cham-
-clonshlrj coif tournaments in Great
I Britain in 1915 unless the war should
I end before the time for holding the
i two big tourneys. Any American
golfer's who have cherished plans to
play either the British amateur or
open championships next season may
make' new arrangements unless they
are optimistic enough to believe that
the great conflict will be brought to s
close before spring. i
.''The amateur championship of 1915
was to have been played at Muirfield.
the course of the Honorable company
of j Edinburgh Gojfers. ' It the war
should end In time it will begin either
on May 9 or May 17. The latter date
correspond to the time of the 1914
tourney at Sandwich.
According to the present champion
ship rota, the scene of the 1916 open
championship, if played, will be Deal.
A band of American" amateurs has
keen considering a 1918 invasion. The
plan was to take a number of Ameri
can ' golfers to Hoylake, where the
10H tourney should be played, accord
ing to tho championship rota, and es
tablish them in a house beside the
course for two or three weeks of prac
tice """
Fred Herrenhoff has been advocat
ing the plan. lie believes the pro rata
expense could be kept at a compara
tively low figure. Keeping the Amer
icans together close to the champion
ship links was another recommenda
tion for the scheme.
"In talking over this plan some time
ago Herreshoff said the remoteness of
Muirfield would make the plan im
practicable In, 1915, so if the Scottish
course should get the 1918 tourney,
because next year's- event is aban
doned, the project probably . would be
abandoned. . ; ,
When the handicap list is com
pleted this coming year It is said that
there will be! about 250 who will be
rated at five strokes and snder. All

The greens committee of the Waverly
Country club, of which Richard Wilder
is chairman, issued a small pamplet
last week, containing the definitions
of play and etiquette of golf.
The increase in the membership of
the club and the keen interest that is
being taken in the golf game has a
tendency to congest the club's course
and the rules must be strictly ob
served. .,
These rules are based on the official
rules of the United States Golf asso
ciation, and explanations follow show
ing their application to our course,
says tne pamplet.
Definitions.
Single Players-By this rule is meant
a player playing alone without any
opponent and with or without a caddie.
At no time does a single player have
any rights on the course and he must
give way to all other duly constituted
matches. A single player on noticing
players approaching him from the rear
should immediately step aside, cease
playing, and allow the following
match to go through:
Singles "Singles" are defined as
one player playing against another.
and at all times they are on an equal
ity with threesomes and foursomes.
Threesomes A 'threesome" Is de
fined as three players playing only
two balls between them. Threesomes
at all times are on an equality with
Bingles and foursomes.
Foursomes "Foursomes" are de
fined as two players playing against
two players, each side playing one ball.
Foursomes at all times are on an equal
ity with singles and threesomes.
Three-Ball Matches The United
States Golf association does not recog
nize this form of match, but on our
course they are given an equality with
all matches described heretofore on
Saturday afternoons, Sundays and holi
days only.
Four-Ball Matches This form of
match likewise is not recognized, by the
United States Golf association, but on
our course they are given an equality
with all the preceding classifications
on Saturday afternoons, Sundays and
holidays only.
An Imperative exception covering the
above classifications Is that If any
match fails to keep Its place on the
course and loses In distance more than
one clear hole on the players In front,
it may be passed, upon request being
made. '
Five and Six-Ball Matches These
matches are not recognized by the
United States Golf association.. They
are not desired on this course and are
absolutely prohibited until after 5 p.
m., and even then must give way at
once to any of the previously de
scribed matches.
Any match may start from the tenth
tee. but it must not delay any match
playing or completing the ninth hole.
After playing the last nine holes
and starting In to play the first nine
holes, a match has no precedence and
must put a ball in the runway pro
vided at the first tee and take its
turn.
Etiquette o? Golf.
(1) Our Increase in membership and
the keen interest that is being taken
in golf have a tendency to congest our
course, and the above rules,, which are
taken from the latest rules of golf as
adopted by the United States Golf as-
sociation. must be strictly observed.
(2) Be fair in allowing matches to
pass through, where the right-of-way
Is theirs. v
(3) Attention is particularly called
to the fact that not only the letter but
the spirit of the rule should be lived
up to.
(4) No one should play from the tee
until the players in front have played
their second strokes and are out of
range, nor play up to the putting green
until they have holed out and moved
away.
(5) Players who s have holed out
should not try their puts over again
or adjust their score cards on the put
ting green when other players are fol
lowing them.
(6) Players looking for a lost ball
should allow other matches coming up
to pass them: they should signal to
the players following them to pass;
and havine? given such signal, they
should not continue their play until
these-: players have passed and are out
of reach.
m Turf cut or displaced by a play
er should be at once replaced ana
pressed down with the foot.
(8) A player stioma careruuy mi
up all holes maae oy mm in any
bunker.
(9) Players should see that, their
caddies do not Injure the holes by
standing close to them when the
ground Is soft.
, GREENS COMMITTEE.
these will be eligible to compete In the
national amateur championship. "Not
lone ago the man who was rated as
high as 12 could come In. but it has
been gradually cut down to five, and
still the field is congested.
It will soon, be necessary to elimi
nate all those above three, and a
possibility that only scratch players
will be -allowed to enter if the young
golfers coming to the front continue
to improve. All competitors will then
measure shots with Ouimet, Travera
and Evans. :;..;

. When the 18 hole course, shown
above, which was laid out by the
greens committee of the Portland Golf
club recently. Is completed, the Gar
den Home links will rank among the
best in the northwest. The new
course will be the longest in this
section and one of the hardest to
play, because the players will have to
play across the creek which runs
through the club's grounds six times.

by George Turnbull, the former pro

club, did not appeal to the present

FRANCIS
OUIWIET
MHO
HIS ARMOR IS SELECTED AS PLAYER' NO. 1
While looking over the names of the
amateur golfers who have been de
serving of a rating, it is worthy of
mention inpassing that during a
period of nine consecutive years there
are only two. Walter J. Travis and
Fred Herreshoff, who have never laeen
omitted. Unfortunately golf has no of
ficial ranking list, the nearest ap
proach being the national . handicaps,
complied annually by the United States
Golf association. This work of the
U. S. G. 'A.' executive committee is
for the purpose of determining who
shall and who shall not have the right
to compete in the . annual champion
ship tournament.. -
The list of names includes those
from scratch to five inclusive, and
numbers more than 200. . A large per
centage of these ellgibles are grouped
in the five: classes and many others
at four. The Llnksman, a well known
eastern writer, to the best of his abil
ity, picks the first 16. He has no
two on an' equality., .
Without question the "big three" in
amateur, circles at; present are Francis
Ouimet,' Charles . 2 vans Jr., and
Jerome D. Trayers. Just, how. these
men should be' placed has puzzled a
good many. In fact, selecting the lead
ing golfers any time is a ticklish un
dertaking, like playing., with fire, but
after , facing : this eort of danger for
years one naturally becomes more or
less hardened. : . ...
'-Returning, therefore,, to the leaders,
when It comes , to. making' the rubber
rcore behave, where is there, the equal
of Ouimet , to be found among the
amateur golfers in the United States?
With, him .the object of. the game
"to get the ball .: into the hole .with
the least number of strokes is never
forgotten. He applies that- motto to
match as well as medal play.
Haver Has Compaiats. -You

- , King's Horses ' Winners. -
- King George, nf England, horses won
the largest aggregate in. stakes on the
English turf in 1914 than In any. year
since his accession,. to .the throne. This
result Is"-due in " the' main to Friar
Marcus, which won .339.750, of the to
tal of 359.725 resulting from 11 vic
tories gained by six - bearers of, the
royal purple and scarlet, .v
which A. D. Pattullo is chairman. The
remaking of the course has been in
progress since the close of summer,
and some of the greens, which were
enlarged for the original course, will
be used In the links designed by the
greens committee.
The total length of the new course
will be 6450 yards. The next largest
course in the northwest is th,e Seattle
Golf and Country club links, which Is
6137 yards.
The first hole will be located .the
same as in the temporary course, ex
cept that it will be nearly 100 "yards
IT WEAK SPOT
cision. Ouimet. therefore, without a
weak spot in his armor, may be said
to be almost In a class by himself.
Evans, No. 2 on the list, cannot al
ways control his nerves, and when
nerves enter into the game it is a
certainty that the ball will go a-wan
derlng. "Chick" is a wonder at medal
play. He proved that again in the
open championship at Midlothian.
when he came within a stroke of tying
Walter C. Hagan for first place. Like
Ouimet, there Is no shot in the bag
over which Kvans is not master, yet
he defeats himself at the match game.
mere is little to choose between these
two stars, but what margin exists
clearly lies with Ouimet.
Travers Is another past master who
for years has been striving to regain
confidence with his wooden clubs. De
spite this handicap, rare powers of re
covery, supplemented by putting . so
deadly at times to be almost mechan
leal in its accuracy, and an ideal fight
ing temperament, have worked to keep
the Upper Montclalr man close to the
top. When his driving went wrong it
shook his confidence. Even so, he is
a hard player to defeat in a match.
Travers was a good medal player. He
is third on my list this year. In fact,
only once has his name been missing,
and that was because of his lapse in
1910, when he practically dropped out
of the game.
The Other Thirteen.

That old axiom, once a golfer always
a golfer, is borne out by a glance at
the composite table extending over a
period of nine years. In 1906 no less
than seven of those now regarded as
the top 16 were given a rating. They
consisted of Travers, Travis. Wood,
Egan, Herreshoff, Byers and Sawyer.
At that time Ouimet and Evans were
scarcely out of the caddie ranks, while
Fownes did not show real promi
nently until the following' year. Jack
Neville was unheard of, nor was An
derson considered until the following
year. Klrby a mere boy In 1306, did
not get on the list until several sea
sons later." Gorton, .also an Indiffer
ent golfer nine years ago, did noth
ing to claim recognition until this
year. As for Marston and Allis, both
were lads in knickerbockers.'
i To carry the analysis further, it will
be seen that? of the others dealt with
In, 1906 who do not appear now prac
tically all have allowed their game to
slip, largely through lack of oppor
tunity. Those include John M. Ward,

"Written for the United Press.)
New York, Jan.. 9. Golf enthusiasm
has run riot In the United States for
some years, but owing: to weather con
ditions in the northern states, it has
been only a three season sport. The
indomitable spirit of the golfer, how
ever, has overcome even bad weather
conditions, and for the first time sev
eral clubs will hold winter tourna
ments In the territory around New
York.
The first of these winter tourna
ments was staged on the course of the
Lakewood Country club. Most of the
players turned in low scores, and all
OI tnem VOWed that their ram was
just as good during the cold weather
as during the summer. The nly draw
back is tho roughness of the greens. It
siows up the putting conslderablv. hut
this one disadvantage is overbalanced
oy long drives and snappy approaches
a zeature that has aroused interest
in winter golf was the tournament held
on the roof of the Astor hotel recently,
The fan who had put their clubs up for
tne winter thinking It was too cold to
play, have had a revival of interest
after seeing a number of experts using
their clubs on the glass enclosed roof.
The 'roof tournament was a play for
form, and was attended by many so
cial leaders.
Golf in the southern states will , have
the benefitvof the two prominent pro-
lessionais who have started a 12 weeks'
totr. M. J. Brady of Wollaston, and
Gil Nlcholls of Wilmington start the!
southern tour at New Orleans, going
rrom there to Beaumont. Houston, San
Antonio and El Paso. California Will
also see some of their playing, and if
time permits they may go over the
links at the Denver Country club.
These two golfers expect to cover
more than 10,000 miles on their trip,
despite the fact that Nlcholls was In
jured so badly in an auto smashup last
summer that bis life was despaired of.
In some of the middle western states
winter golf has been indulged In at
least up to the first heavy snow. The
Omaha Field club and the courses
at Des Moines and St. Paul have had
their following of winter golfers this
year, and plans are- being made to
keep the links in condition up to the
last minute.
Five Men Compete
"i On Eastern Teams
Following the first indoor meet of
the Intercollegiate association of ama
teur athletics to be held in Madison
Square Garden, New York, on Satur
day, March 6, a dinner will be given
the athletes that participate, in the
concert hall of the famous structure.
Michigan, Cornell, Harvard, Yale and
Pennsylvania will probably send teams
for each of the nine events, six of
which will be relay races, with many
athletes competing from Columbia,
Princeton, Williams, Amherst, Brown
and other colleges. There are to be no
championships. There will be five
men from each institution permitted
to represent their alma mater In each
event

Williams TankDry
and Swimmers' Quit
Captain George I. Hubell Jr., of the
Williams college swimming team, has
cancelled, all the contests recently ar
ranged. The Williams swimmers
found themselves in the unusual pre
dicament of having one of the prettiest
pools In the country- at their disposal,
but no water to fill it. There has been
a long period of drought In Massachu
setts, which caused a water famine,
and the college has not been allowed
since fall to use enough in the natator
ium for swimming purposes, so the
athletic authorities deemed it best to
keep the men out of competition alto

That Cornell's rowing record Is .
phenomenal nearlv every one .who Is .
interested m varsity crew races knows, ;
but there are few who realize just how
marked that superiority Is. i.
The Intercollegiate Rowing assocla- .
(ion was organized in 1895, and held Its
first regatta in PDughkeepsle in that
year. In all, 55 races have been held -by
this asscciation since its inception,
and Cornell has been victorious in 88.
In other words, although 10 colleges
have rowed under; the auspices of the
Intercollegiate association at one time
or another, Cornell; has won two thirds
of all the victories '
This record is due largely to Charles
E. Courtney, the veteran Cornell coach.
Since the change ill the stroke Cornell
has stamped its -name on collegiate
rowing records so Indelibly that it will
be years before It is superseded..
The conslstency-(-wrth which Cornell
crews have shown the way to all other
crews Is best illustrated by the fact
that in the 55 races in which It has
rowed since the. discovery of the new
stroke, the Cornellian has flashed to ,
the front 36 times, has been second 11 .
times, third 6 times, fourth once and
fifth once. Not one of "Cornell's closest
rivals has. a record which can compare
with this. Syracuse in totat number of
races won stands next, with eight vic
tories, then comes Pennsylvania with
six, Wisconsin with two -and Colum
bia with three. "
Columbia and Wisconsin have fig-'
ured as the contenders more often than
ny of the other crews, and it is be
cause of Columbia's remarkable string
of second places; added to under the
coaching of Jim Rice, that the Morn
ingslde Heights crew stands so high.
Columbia won the varsity race In 1895
and 1914. ' ';'
It goes without saying that Cornell
leads in the number of races won in
the varsity fours, with a string of 11
victories, three second places, one third
and. one fourth. In the freshman race1
Cornell's superiority is demonstrated
again. The Ithacans have to their
credit 13 first places, 4 seconds, 1 third
and 1 fifth. 1
