TEW YORK, Jan. 3.—Just as the
N baseball dove of peace was
freshening up the leaves on
he olive branch with a sprinkler,
somebody had to come .Jong and give
the can a boot that sent it flying
across thle battle-scarred fleld. It is
rumored to-day that James A, Gil
more, ex-president of the ex-Fedzral
l.eague, Is slated for the chairman
ship of the National Commission
After having the door of organized
baseball slammed in his face for ‘wo
ears, is it possible the haughty mag
nates will now ask him in and offer
him a chair at the head of the table?
So many impossible things have hap.
pened since the baseball tangle was
straightened out that even this may
be true. |

long ago | received a letter
from a goifer who made a plea
for betler observance of the
rules of the game. He 4id not mean
that every goifer should know every
rule and spend his Ume arguing like
a lawyer with his opponent over
every inch of the course, but he 44
mean the desirability of reasonadle
observance of the real principie of ine
g’-outhouncflum This
ity in regard to the rules is start
ling. for when one thinks of the ma!-
ter he realizes that golf without rules
is not goif., but something eslse.
Here ig an example: The writer
mm':nn.n.nn—z-n
when the yer who had made the
worst score on the first hole stepped
blithely up 1o the second tee and drove
off first with absolute disregard of
the other players. It developed a *-
