TWO PORTLAND TRACK STARS WHO WILL MAKE TRIP EAST WITH STAJd'ORD UNIVERSITY TEAM. r .JO. MEMBERS TODAY m Alteration and Consoli ion CLUB LINKS OPEN Sod Trimmer Puts Portland's , Grounds in Surprisingly Good Condition. . WATER HAZARD ON COURSE Clubhouse, Too, Is Ready and Plans Arc Making for Serving- of 1iinclieon to Members on Eacli Day of Week. The links of the Portland Club are open to members today. The gasoline eod trimmer, a. sort of safety razor on wheels, arrived a week ago, and did such effective service that those of the club who cannot wait until the official opening on Decoration day may try the links this Sunday. The first nine hojes will be in very good playing: condition on Decoration day. The property has not been plowed In recent years, and as it is well drained, the grazing cattle have helped lo make it a good golf site, rather . Mian to urak it up. The officials hardly expected to be able to offer the members anything: half so goat before the Summer was over, but after the roller and the cutter were put to work a very good course resulted, with. -bom paratively little work. This will be the only course around Portland, which lias a waterhole as a hazard, and it is going to take a pretty good golfer to raise the ball ver trie creek from the first tee. A shaded brook runs directly in front of tne rirst tee. The brush has been trimmed pretty well, but the beginner is going to lose a couple of strokes ngnt tnere. On the other side, he will have to raise the ball up ' an incline. These features will give the Portland golfers a course as Jnterestingas any to be found on the Coast. The clubhouse, likewise, is ready for the members, it is a bit on the colonial ytyle. with a big veranda, shaded by immense trees. The caretaker probably will be a man and wife, and lunches for the members will be available every day of the week. Travers says his tee shots in his re cent matches in England were the ' longest he ever made. It was the slump in putting that caused his downfall. . Cleansing the amateur lists of golf ers is at present a vital question In the Kast. A revision of the amateur defi nition is planned. Some of the points at issue, though they technically may involve the strictest interpretation of amateur rules, look absurd for big men to fight over. Many of the clubs make the secre- tary exempt from the navmont nfiu,. This is being construed as one Infrac tion of the amateur definition l.eighton Collins, former president of 'Metropolitan uoir Club, and also a director of the United States Golf Association when the present amateur definition was framed, is in favor of the liberal interpretation. 1CAI COW MATCH AT EUGEXE Country Clubs Will Knter Xorth western Stars.

Some of the animals killed weigh be tween 1500 and' 2000 pounds. Many are 16 feet in lengtlj. Although a clumsy animal, they have sufficient speed to overhaul and devour large quantities of the salmon and it is for this reason they are hunted by the state.
