Whiting. STEWART MAIDEN, profes sional of the Atlanta Athletic club, has left for Chicago to begin practice for the annual open tournament of the Western Golf association, in which he should take a prominent part. This clever young professional, a product orig inally of the famous Carnoustie links, h is never cut much figure in open tournament, but his game is constantly improving, and if he hits his stride at all this time he should got inside the money. Many other Southern profession ills will take part-in this tourna ment. Though it is strictly the Western open, this event is alxvays a great gathering place for "pros” who arc engaged by Southern courses, and most of the top-nolch ers will no doubt be there- H. H. Barker, of Birmingham; Charley Hall, of Birmingham; W, C. Sher wood, of Memphis, John Inglis, of Montgomery, and the rest of the bunch. Z->OVERN<»R WOODROW WIL ' 1 SoN tells this one: It was back in the early day s of golf, and he and Cleveland Dodge were trying, with ill success, to master the game. I* inally Dodge decided that the trouble was with the clubs. So he went to Scotland and bought a me-.M of the best that money could buy He had them shipped home, and when they got to the customs house the befuddled officials clas sified them as agricultural Imple ments. ' I hat, said Dodge, yy lien lie paid tlie bill, "is a deliberate Insult." ■ The next day out went Dodge witli the new clubs, and, after a grewsmne atternoon, he returned, with mind changed. "Those customs officers," said he, "know more about the game I play i han I did." ♦ ♦ ♦ 'i'll E Royal and Ancient Club of St. Andreyvs, Scotland, is con sidering some changes in the golf rules And it's high time, of all the doddering codes under which grown men ure expected to play a game, there is not one quite so full of contradictions and inconsisten cies as tlie golf rules. One change that is planned is to modify the pen.-ilty for a lost ball in match play from the present loss of hole to the "stroke and distance" of the medal play rules. Another suggestion they are con sidering is that of assessing a pen alty of stroke and distance. In stead "f distance only, for a ball out of bounds. The logic of this change is not apparent, especially in this country xvhere golf courses are squeezed into -'mall spaces many times in order to get them as near as possible to cities, and where the boundaries are often nu merous and troublesome. The following new definition is proposed: "An umpire decides questions of fact; a referee decides questions of golfing law.” Penalty For Wrong “Info." Tlie wording of rule 2 is im proved without altering the mean ing of the rule The folloyvlng ad dition to rule 4 is recommended: "A player Is entitled at any time during the play of a hole to ascer tain from hi.- opponent the number of strokes the latter has played, if the opponent gives wrong informa tion as to the number of strokes he has played, he shall lose the hole, unless he correct his mistake before th< player has played another stroke." It is suggt -ted that rule 18 be al tered to ! ■ ad as follow s : "If a player's ball when in mo tion be interfered w ith in any way by an opponent or his caddie, the opponent’s -ide shall lose the hole. If a player's bail when at rest be THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1912. moved by an opponent or his cad die, the opponent's side shall lose the hole, except as provided for in rules 9 (2), 16, 22 (3), 31, (1), 32 (2), and 33. The committee intimates that “interfered with” will cover the ease of a player's ball being struck by an opponent's ball through the green before the former has come to rest. Bounds Rule Clarified. Paragraph 1 of rule 23 (2) is re drafted so as to avert misunder standings which have been numer ous in the past. It now reads: "In order to save delay, if a play er. after making a stroke, be doubt ful whether his ball is out of bounds or not, he may at once play another ball, as provided for in paragraph (1) of this rule, but if it be discovered that the first ball is not out of bounds, it shall continue in play without penalty." In rule 25, giving permission to remove steps or planks placed in a hazard by the green committee for access to or egress from such haz ard, a clause is added giving per- * mission to remove similarly any obstruction mentioned in rule 11. In regard to disputes (rule 35). the committee proposes that "if the players have agreed to an umpire or referee, they must abide by his decision." This presumably pre cludes a reversal of such' decision by the rules committee. Special Rules For Match Play. In the special rules for match play competitions, the committee suggests that the punishment for waiving any penalty incurred by an opponent shall be loss of hole instead of dlsqnalifieation. They consider that the latter is too se vere. In rule 1 of the rules for three ball matches it is proposed that a player desiring n mill to be lifted must, unless it be played, have it lifted before any other ball is in motion. A cablegram from Bad Nauheim the other day brought the news that Colonel Coston, of Cincinnati, had won nn eighteen-hole handi cap tournament. This was going some for the colonel, for he has only one arm. ♦ » ♦ A couple of Philadelphia golfer, recently set a Pennsylvania record by playing 10(1 holes of golf in one day.

His first win of the open looked a bit like a fluke, especially' after his poor show ing in the British open this year When he again won the American open this year experts took their hats off to him and he is hailed as the greatest American born golfer of all time. • • • The next tournament of the At inta \ ■ club after th< Davis & Freeman event is,out of the way will be the club championship.

Good Night, Lookouts! Elberfeld Now Leads in Managerial Race CHATTANOOGA, TENN., Aug. 27.—1 t seems like the one best bet that Kid Elberfeld •vx ill be the next manager of the Lookouts. Os course, nothing offi cial has been stated, but every in dication points to the Tabasco Kid as the man who will be finally se lected for the local managerial staff. The former Senator and Yankee and President O. B. Andrews en gaged in a controversy this spring, xvhose intensity it xvas thought would prevent the former's ever coming here, but subsequent de velopments have greatly mitigated the ill-feeling between the two. The one point at variance be tween the two at present appears to be the desire of Elberfeld to pur chase a block of stock in the club and the unwillingness of the pres ent stockholders that he should do so. The Kid, so it is understood, is unwilling to sign up under any other conditions.

When he was Elberfeld is greatly liked here and his arrival would be accepted with general approval by fandom, but there are a number of close students of the game who qjucstion his managerial ability, in view of the temperament which he has shown in the past. According to Clark Griffith, the Kid was prima rily responsible for the disruption of the Yankees just before his de parture, and it is a known fact that he refused to have him under his direction at Washington this year. Furthermore, his part in the Mc- Elveen matter in Atlanta indicates to some extent that he is not pos sessed of any too great self-con trol and equanimity. The Kid's ability as a ball play - er, however, can not be questioned nor his knowledge of the game. If he proves to be a man that can lead the players, he will undoubtedly make one of the best pilots in the circuit. patched up he weighed too much to race again so he went in for baseball. He's been at it ever since. * ¥ ♦ This has been a hard year on managers in the Ohio State League Fifteen ha\< performed thus far, with other changes possible, one who still sticks is Waite- East, ex-Cracker. * * ♦ Dick Bayless is the second best regular batter in lhe Pacific Coast league! xvith an average of .32(1.

At one time Johnson was xvithin two games of the championship. McLough lin, however, pulled himself together and fathoming the mysteries of the Philadelphian's loyy cut stroke smashed the balls across the court and squared the match.
