C?irri|?t, lt2 1, fey Th? A?n?t? New York, March 20 ? Jess Sweei ?er and an English writer named Howard complain about the walking effort required to cover a 6.800 yard golf course and dolefully predict that unless the ball is changed they will have to walk 7.000 yards. Shades of departed legs, which the motor car is atrophying! Seven thousand yards is less than four miles. Suppose we add another mile for wandering about the course and make it five miles! The writer doesn't know anything about Howard, but Swe??tser is as fine a physical specimen as could wish to see. and only about 21 years of age. Yet he Is reported as saying that it is "physically very exhaust ing to -walk these courses." is one to understand that a man of today at 21 finds it physically ex hausting to walk 6.800 yards, and that the addition of another eighth of a mile or so would produce a physical collapse? The general assembly of the Northern Presbyterian Church has arraigned golf as an enemy of reli gion because It keeps some 100.000 crddles away from Sunday School. "Sunday sports blight character. " , sayH the report. Nine fifteenths of tbose who enter prison were! started on their way by Sabbath! breaking, largely by Sunday sports. . Keene Fltxpatrick advises us to, watch H. B.

The writ-' er has an interesting communication from L. B. Foley of Oakpark. 111., J suggesting a new method of figur ing a baseball batsman's value to his team. The idea is' based on the theory that a man who bats .260 and, drives in 40 runs is more valuable than a man who bats .300 and drives in only 25. The general proposition is to give a man .001 for a single or a bftBe on bixlls. 002 for a double. .003 for a triple and .004 for a home run. In addition, the batter would be cred ited .001 for eiich base he advanced another runner. Thus a man who hit a strike and sent a runner home from second. would get credited with .003 ? as much as If ho had tripled. This is an Interesting thought, and one that might be developed. George Huff, who for more than 15 years has been athletic director of the University of Illinois, has come out in favor of permitting col lege men to play baseball for money during the summer vacation. Huff offers the argument that a Hfo guard who Ih paid for his sum mer services may be a member of an amateur swimming team, and that the A. A. IT., permits play ground di rectors to compete as amateurs. j Despi'e the fact that our Ameri can mermaids are beating the rec ords all the time.

Carpentier, who will shortly leave for this country, is charged in England with dodging Jack Bloom field. Just why he should wish to dodgo Bloomfield is not clear. At any rate he will not escape punish ment if he adheres to his determina tion to meet Tunney and Tommy Gibbons. Carp's bad showing against Mar cel Nilles, who stayed eight rounds with him. was due to a cracked knuckle which he received when his fist came In contact with Joe Beck ett's Jaw.
