Davis, Jr., chairman of the han dicap committee of the Waverley Country club is confronted with the problem of changing the dates of the Tost-Western Golf tourney, which was scheduled to begin on the Waverley course, July 24.

Thes are not the days of miracles, howeve although for quick course constuif tlon the recenl effort of Wnlte Fovnrgne at Falrbope sound like t record. Of course the tees and green-, were made of red clay and few bunk ers or traps needed owing to natural hazards. To pet things down to a science, however, why not have links laid out by mail, from illustrations re ceived through a correspondence school ? Charles Rlgler, world's series arbi trator, builder of ball parks, is the latest convert to the ever-widening circle of celebrities in the ranks of golf. Rieler says he first became In-! terested In golf through his study of: turfs and soil culture in connection with the construction of baseball parks. He has built 17 diamonds and for years has been studying his In- I fields, so that the versatile umpire knew all about the technique of ttie game before he knew anything about stance and grip. During the course of a round, if the ball bits a caddie, which golfer wins I the hole? This Is a momentous ques tion which must be decided by the Women's Golf association of Philadel phia. The accident occurred during one of the suburban cup matches held ! recently. In playing the thirteenth hole, A was a few feet off the green. and believing there was a penalty if the approach shot hit the standard she asked her caddie to taxe the flag. The ball bit the caddie, and neither woman knew if there was any penalty. No protect was made. A winning th hole. As the match progressed, other play ers were asked, but apparently no one knew the rule. The match was square going to. the eighteenth, "hole, which was won by A., Word was aftca-ward brought to' the club house that the thirteenth hole was in reality won by - ! B, so that they decided to go another hole, whldi was won by B.

A number of women that the best thing to do would be to put it up to the association. The as sociation decided that the hole ques tion was won by B. under rule nine teen of the rules and regulations. The Women's Western Golf associa tion has donated a new prize, which will be known as the par trophy. It will replace the Crafta W. Higgins prize, which for many years has been emblematic of the team championship of the association. The Los Angeles, Midlothian and Eimoor teams, the last two of Chica go, which have each won the Higgins contest twice, will play for permanent possession of the trophy on Septem ber 1. The annual championship of the Women's Eastern Golf association, to be held this year on the links of the Essex County Country club, at Man chester, Mass., on June 5, 6 and 7, will be played off at the rate of 18 holes a day for three days, a total of 64 holes, Instead of 36, as in the two pre vious contest.

A contour map will be sent to Egan if he ls unable to come to Portland. It is believed, however, that Egan will gladly accept the offer. Chairman Victor Johnson of th committee, which ls working on the $3000 subscription which was offered at the time the proposition was pre sented to the council, is .completing the details of the plan to raise the money.

The elbow leads until about half of tho stroke is completed, when the hand and forearm swing out lightly, cutting Into the water six or seven Inches ia front and to tbe side of the head. Then as the pull starts the left hand completes the stroke. The swimmer rolls on the right side (taking a breath through the mouth and exhaling through the nose under water as the body rolls flat on the surface again) the ft shoulder rising slightly, the elbow coming up the same as previously described with the right hand. This makes an alternate motion, one arm drive being completed as tho other begins. ' Tbe kick used in this stroke like wise is the scissors kick, and should be taken when on the right side with the. arm drive. Many swimmers make the mistake of taking a kick in each arm stroke. This is very tiring and shows very poor form. One kick should be taken with the completed stroke of both arms, , coasting with feet together and, toes extended as tna left arm drive is being made. LEFT HANDED HITTERS E Wagner, Lajoie and Dele hanty Would Have Added 40 Points Year to Record. SHOULDER POWER COUNTS Bitter Must Stand on Bide of mate Where strength Will Be of Host Avail Again Pitchers. New York. May 13. A peruBal of the mace wielding records brings out a peculiarity. It uncovers the fact that the majority of the greatest sluggers the game has produced have been right handed hitters, yet the bulk of high percentage hitters are left banders. The left handed batting stars for the most part are speedy of foot, the right handers are clumsy to an ex treme, most of the right handers have been :blg men; the left handers run to the diminutive on the average. Old Cap Kit Prom Bight. Old Cap Anson was a right hander. So was Ed Delehanty, who could drive a ball as far as any man in the game. Lajoie and Wagner, the veterans, are starboard clouters. "Cactus" Cravath, who lammed the fences ever and anon last summer, is-a right hander. Fred Merkle. the long distance banger of the Giants, is a right hander; "Piano Legs" Hickman, famous slugger of a few years ago, was a right handed swinger. On the other hand. Cobb is a south paw clouter. So are Collins, Baker, Kauff, Speaker, Daubert, Luderus and Doyle. With th'e exception of Baker and Luderus, all are fast men. Ex cepting those two. none can be classed as a terrific slugger; at least none ls In the Cravath, Lajoie, Wagner. Dele hanty division. They hit the ball hard and far but It ls their speed that enables them to take unto themselves each year a husky average. Wllbert Robinson's Adrlce. Once upon a time we asked Wllbert Robinson, the brainy Dodger leader: "If a youngster, aspiring to become a big leaguer, asked you from which side he should swing at Dan, wnat , would you tell him 7" Robinson, who kas been In baseball i since answerea. 1 'My first advice to him would be to swing from the side in which he packed the most shoulder power. That's the main essential In hitting. In cases where a youngster has almost equal power in his shoulders, I would ad vise that he bat left handed, especially If he were somewhat speedy. On to Two Tarda Hearer. "A left handed hitter always ls from three to six six feet nearer to first base the right hander. When a right , takes his position he ls on the. than ls nanaer taxes niu position no is on ino rar side or tne piate; tne leri nanaer ls on the near side. When the right handfr hits the ball the swing pulls him farther away from first, whereas a swing actually sends a left hander nearer to the Initial bag. vne.. you . ...u, s how often during a season that a throw beats a man to first by Just one stride, you Uel.il ujyyi ciu-lo two f i ea i au tage there Is in hitting1 left handed. r.i t.lr.4 . vr Ks-tit 1. n'f Inf1itantsi a AJUl.

And then we shifted the subject to i Lajoie and Wagner. "How much better do you think those two men would have batted if they bad been left handed hitters and fast afoot?" "From 20 to 40 points each season during their prime," answered Robby. "Both men rank among the greatest sluggers the game has produced. They nev-r scored fluke hits. When they made safeties they earned them by ter- rible walloping. I "At least 25 trmes each season IjiJoI I and Wagner have been beaten out of j hits to the Infield because they ar-j rived at first Just a fraction of a sec- ond behind the ball. That means the stride. Batting from the left side would have put that stride In their fa vor and those outs would have been bits. 'But both those men are normal right handers. They have the real swing ing power in their shoulders. Had they shifted to the port side they would have would have gained that stride, but sacrificed their mighty slugging ability. So In their case, as in the case of any normal right hander. It woailtl be folly to change to the left side."' W hite to Box Champion WeNh. New York. May 13. (1. N. S.)
