The Gearhart links are. only a couple . vsNia .1 litant from the beach and are on a par with anything in the country for air ana scenery. The sod, too, is superb. ' . At Thursday's weekly meeting of the Portland Golf Qlub held in the Oregon Hotel, it was decided to raise the initiation fee from $25 to 40. The rise was due to the fact thist the club has a sufficient number of roembeis. The new fee goes into effect Feb ruary 20. ... The new course of the Santa Bar bara (Cal.) Country Club, where the big golf tournament during the first week in March is to be held, is he of great interest. It is seldom that a golf course can be found with such a diversity of character throughout its length one portion being along a flat bordering the sea coast; another back in the foothills, with a most magnificent view of mountains, ocean and islands, and still again contest ants will be playing along bluffs over looking the Santa Barbara channel. The whole course winds in and out among the palatial homes of the Mon tecito residents. The course has been laid out with the view of keeping a golfer's clubs bright and shiny, as he will repeat edly have u?e for every club in his bag. To play the course in "par" re quires 15 drives, five brassy strokes, three midiron shots, nine long mashie .-hots and six short mashie shots. Needless to say. however, many a shot that should be long mashie is either midiron or a brassy shot. Five of the holes are more than 400 yards long, and one more than 500. Rumors of Harry Vardon's appear ance on tne stage have been confirmed. He has closed a contract with a big vaudeville corporation, starting on the circuit about -March 1 In New York City. The plan of the world's great est golfer to get tiie game of golf be fore the public through the medium of the stage has been in his mind for many years and he has apparently now" found the vehicle he desired. The fact that there Is practically nothing doing in golf on British soil Just at present, or. probably, for some time, has made the trip of V'ardon this year possible. He will probably re main on this side the major portion of the year and may be followed by a number of other Knglish and Scotch pros. Moving picture firms are said to have closed with Yardon also for an appearance before their cameras and the filming of the geat master in action will excite the liveliest interest among golfers, and wherever such films hap pen to be shown it is a pretty safe assertion that the golfer will turn out almost to a man and woman. Not only golfers, but thousands of those who are waiting for an opportunity to play the game will be ir those audi ences. Even putting and Its attendant problems now come under the head of psychologic. A well-known Tortland golf enthusiast goes on record as fol lows: "Only the other day I heard of the most patheic,.ase in the, world. It was that of a player who had so mastered the subtle dips and rises of the putting greens on his home course thai he could hole the ball every time, but who cultivated such a habit of slicing and pulling his" way along the slopes that he oould not overcome it even when he found himself on ordi nary greens. His mind had become supersensitive." Playing in the wind is a study in it elf. When the average player faces a gale he finds himself devoid of con fidence with a feeling of uncertainty us to the fate of his shot. The remedy therefor lies in steady practice and h close individual study of the result produced by the readjustment of the stance. Miss Gladys Ttavenscrof t. American champion of 1913. seems to have only me mental attitude as far as golf is toneerned. The stranger having ex perience with other golfers meeting her half way round the course might reasonably conclude that she was play ink the game of he life, so thoroughly complacent is her whole demeanor. And yet she might be having a really bad time 'of it. Miss Ravenscroft is undoubtedly a striking object lesson to those who allow the game to get the mastery of tbein. Jacques Fournier, of Tacoma. after being the batting sensation of the American league, the pride of the JWhite Sox and some little automobile ".pecialist has succumbed to the be witching wiles of the "gawf" bug. Fournier' s case is a sad one. He cannot find enough dayligHt In whiotv to practice his hobby. It is said he gets his auto out at night and uses the headlights to follow the ball. Not content with being infected with the golf mania himself Fournier is now reported aa trying to lead his brother-in-law, Tom Seaton. star moundsman for the Brooklyn Feds, into the fold. . i . .

DELEGATE TAKES APPEAL Leonard Myers to Present Plaint or Local Men All Bodies to Work Together This Year and Big TSogatta Planned. At the meeting of directors of the Portland Motorboat Club. Wednesday night. Leonard Myers, the recently appointed chairman of the Regatta Committee, was selected as a delegate to represent the local club at a special meeting of the Pacific International Power Boat Association, to . be held In the near future at Seattle. The particular object of Mr. Myers' trip to Seattle will be obtaining a rehear- nir and reversement of the decision of the Pacific International Power Boat Association with reference to tne standing of the "Wastrel" during the races at the last Astoria regatta. On account of the buoy going adrift the wastrel." a Seattle entry, protestea the race, and, on appeal, was given the decision. The local club feels that an injus-it-f done the "Baby Bell." owned by Captain Spencer, and running under the rolors of the local club. The ob taining of the decision by the "Was trel" under a fluke has aroused the local "sea dogs." and they are deter mined to push the case furtner. This decision of the club to back up its racing men has been received with great satisfaction among the members, as there has been somewhat of an underlying feeling that the club was "too easy in not asserting its n-hts in races where the decision was turned against it through some tech nicalities. m w The Motorboat Club will open the season of 1915 with a smoker and get- together meeting on Tuesday mgni, February 1(. The Yacht Club and Rowing Club members have received a cordial invitation to attend, and Joe Carter, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, promises some interesting and amusing "doings. The Motorboat Club and the Kowing Club recently were the guests of the Yacht Club at Its opening smoker. An excellent programme had been pre pared, "good eats" and "smokes" were plenty, and music rendered the even ing most enjoyable. iospiianiy was the watchword, and the Yacht Club spelled it with capital letters. During tne recent meeting wt uio Motorboat Club directors, held last Tuesday nitrht. the House and urounos Committee, of which Harry Klelser Is L'hairman. was autnonzea to start tne construction of a boat hoisting ap paratus. This apparatus will be of such size and design as to accommo date all sixes of motorboats. and make t possible with a minimum of effort to raise a boat from the water to permit of repairs or painting of the hull. Such an apparatus will- fill a long-felt want, and is the first step of the directors along the lines of various 'such improvements and con veniences outlined in their policy for the season of 1915. The directors granted honorary mem bership in the Motorboat Club for he year 1915 to the directors of Doth he Yacht Club and Rowing Club. It is the desire to bring a closer feel ing 'and affiliation between the vari ous clubs along tne river tor tne com mon purpose of promoting the aquatic game, whether it be yacnting, row- ng or motorboatmg. It was also decided, to join with tne Yacht Club In its opening day of the season. Decoration Day, in a regatta to be held at the Yacht Club grounds, near The Oaks. On this account the Motorboat Club will postpone its on- emplated cruise set for this day and will Join with the Yacht Club to make ts regatta a great success. The Regatta Committee, under the chairmanship of Leonard Myers, is preparing a schedule of races to be run during the season of 1915. Certain definite dates will soon be announced, probably some seven or eight scheduled meets in all will be set. together with the various classifications, so that the motorboat racing man will have a clear conception of the coming events so as to . make his plans accordingly. One of the defects of the old system was to bold back the announcement of 'the . V2 II I I I I I II I 1 1 1 I 1 1 I I n I K dates and classification to a short time before the event, which made it diffi cult for the racing man to get his boat ready in time or his plans made. The new system, it is hoped, will stimulate the racing game and bring more of the members into it than ever before, es pecially since the new Willamette Riv er classification of races will permit of a broader Ut of entries than here tofore. The various officials appointed by the commodore and approved by the directors are as follows: Harry Kleis er, chairman house and grounds com mittee; Leonard Myers, chairman re gatta committee; Joe Carter, chairman entertainment committee: George J. Kelly, chairman press committee; Dr. Charles E. Hill, fleet surgeon; C. W. Raynor, fleet captain; Ernest von der Werth, measurer. I Colligan Asks and Gets Release. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.

Training Obtained In Delivering Milk From Dairy In Arisona Asset to Agricultural College Stndeat. BY U-NO-Mt. Kentucky has many things to be proud, of. Among the most prominent are feuds, blue grass, moonshine, to bacco, mules, racing steeds, caves, the "Trail of the Lonesome Pine" and "She Was Bred in Old Kentucky." But Kentucky is destined to win fame in another sphere. Twenty-eight years ago Guy Hobgood opened his eyes and gazed upon the everlasting hills. He went along the "growlng-up" process without undue noise and be came a man without knowing what na. ture had planned for him. His older brother was a minister and had hoped that Guy would follow his footsteps. lie induced "Hoby" to enter Cumberland University, where he burned midnight oil and masticated and digested Latin and Greek roots for two years. "Hoby" decided he had missed his calling, eo migrated to Arizona and worked on a dairy ranch. His daily tasks were feeding the pale-eyed bos sies, coaxing the said bossies to give a : 1 1 - n .. t . UOWn Copious uuLncia ill 1 1 ii'iu ,n. delivery of the milk to numerous cus tomers in two smaii viiiases. j.u ranch was in a valley and the villages on the hilltop far above. "Hoby" would grab a large milk can in each hand and set out on a run for the hilltop and when through delivery at one hilltop would run down through the valley and up to the other. his interesting labor was kept going for a year; then, wtih several hundred iron - - 1 l.l nnn..l V. rt rctrrma a C 1 1 1 ll O Yl t at the Oklahoma' Agricultural College ai OtlllltKim. vib. "Hoby" was a student, so took no interest in athletes, but in the Spring some fatherly comrade urged him to get out and furnish the track men op position. Of course, he didn't have a show of making the team, as they had two excellent, long-distance runners, but he could set pace for a lap or two and eat their "heel dust" after they cut loose. The "tryout" came and "Hoby" set the pace, some pace that! Those var sity runners looked at him with out raged innocence shining in their eyes and the students thought he was crazy. He made 9:o7 for the two miles, and none of the others had even thought of running It' so fast. .They didn't seem to appreciate them, so "Hobv" came to Oregon and entered Oregon Agricultural College. One of the exercises consisted of running out into the hills, where Arbuthnot would call roll, ana gallop back to the gymnasium. "Hoby" usually got back before the others, so Doe Steuart began to count him as a prospect. He gave some advice to him and soon was de lighted with the ease "Hoby" could cover distance in very short durations of time. , At San Francisco, May !. at the Coast meet, "Hoby" wasn't feeling well, so trotted along behind the others for several laps. He continued to feel bad, thought he would hurry along and get through so took the lead and finished about 50 yards to spare hi 9:37, a new Coast record. He wasn't eligible for conference meets, but won the mile in the Colum bia meet and in the meet with Mult nomah. He let Dewey and Lafke ram ble ahead in the two-mile, while he visited in the rear with the lone Mult nomah entry, being content to... take third place. At Columbia Beach he won the I ' N ! sr. nartie.ular immm . -M' ' ft v . a wn bv the retina of "wreck" race easily from the winner of the previous year. Last season he won first in the cross country run at Corvallis, doing the four and a half miles in 23:59. Consid ering the fact that he had trained less than 10 days, this was good time. "Hoby" has begun light training now for the coming season, so we may ex pect to see several records go glim mering. He has a. lot of speed and will make someone hustle to keep ahead of him in the half and mile. One day last Spring a member of the relay team that defeated Oregon at Eugene asked Doc to give him a trial at the quarter. "Hoby" was Just starting the last lap of a two-mile workout, so Doc told the "hopeful" to race "Hoby" the quarter. He fell in behind and did his best but when "Hoby" crossed the line the new candidate was 10 yards in the rear and barely able to make tracks. "Hoby" Is a quiet unassuming fel low who regards athletes merely as an incident in college. HEX4THLOS RUNS S WEEKS Portland .Academy and Students of Y. SI. C. A. Start Contest Tuesday. Portland Academy and the high school students of the Young Men's Christian Association begin a hexathlon Tuesday that will run for three weeks. Two events will be staged weekly and the work will be done -on the gymnasium of each school. Eachiweek the totals will be figured toward" the final honors of the match. On Tues day both schools will time their stu dents on a 60-yard potato race and the scores of the six highest men will be taken as the standing. The time limit is 18 seconds with five points given for each 1-5 of a second under that mark and 100 points scored if done in 14 seconds. MOTORBOATS TO RAGE NF.HALEM NAVIGATORS FLAX BIG REGATTA FOR JULY 4. Prixea In Cash and Cups and Medals Sufficient to Bring Entrees From Other Cltlea Desired. j NEHALEM, Or., Feb. 6. (Special.) Motorboat races of the highest class are promised for July 4 by the local boatowners. according to the plans be ing formulated. There are a great number of power craft on the river. The enthusiasts here have been dis cussing plans for an Independence day regatta for some time. New additions (are" constantly being made to the power fleet and each new boat finds a sponsor in its owner that causes others to issue challenges and speculate on what would happen in a race. Nothing definite resulted, how ever, until Robert Carlson acquired his engine. Carlson wanted to race anything on the river and finally was willing to include anything in the Among those who will take an active part in the events planned are Harry Bell, with five gasoline boats; Alfred Anderson, with three; Albert Crawford, with three; the Effenberger brothers, with two, and many others with one -. a nnaAi0i mtA fnr two-horse- eacxi. .c -- - power boats is being arranged, in which E.

Cups and med-. als also will be offered and It is the desire to hang up prizes of sufficient value to induce motorboat owners from other cities to enter. So far races for two-horsepower, six-horsepower and free-for-all are planned. J. FRED MEAGHER OBJECTS Vancouver Boxer Wants It Tntler- . stood That He Beat Cordovan.

The pictures CORRECT STROKE FOR GOLF DRIVE PICTURED J. Martin Watson Demonstrates Proper Position of Body and Swing, Ex plaining Movements Necessary. BY J. MARTIN" WATSON. Professional, Waverly Country Club.. Nn. 2 The Drive. As Bobbie Burns said: "O wad some power the giftie gie us To see ourselves as ithers se us; It wad frae mony a blunder free us: An' foolish notion." The camera is truthful and a most valuable adjunct in giving one an idea of the golfing stroke, and has shown me both the right and wrong of it. A teacher when correcting a pupil should show him what he did, then show him the correct method. He can then dif ferentiate between right and wrong. In looking over the accompanying series I find the position of the right knee at top of swing not so straight as usual, the hands at the beginning of the downward swing Just a trifle too far out in front of the body this was due to an incident which happened during the stroke. As the club was nearing the top of the swing the hall rolled oil the tee. Here I lost my concentration as it flashed through my mind whether 1 should continue or stop and begin all over again. Being Scotch, I did not want the operator to lose a few feet of film, so I stuck to the ship and in spite of the aberration brought off a straight shot which measured 233 yards. For a long shot the head was kept down perhaps a trifle too long, although this is hardly a failing, yet It tends to lock the neck muscles and prevents a free fol low through. Elbotv Position Ik Important. What I think is worthy of notice is the position of the right elbow at the top of the swing, as seen in plate No. 5. It is a well-known axiom, or estab lished principle in golf, that the right elbow at the top of the swing should be well into the side. Let the elbow wander away and with it goes your accuracy to the four winds. of heaven. To insure the correct position, let us start the club head on its backward Journey from the ball. Remember al ways, the club head must lead. Make the initial movement principally with the left' hand. Allow the left arm to hnish the chest on the way up, mean time moving the right elbow round the! right side till the club has assumed the horizontal position behind the head, and you will find that from this point of vantage you insure a greater meas ure of success than with the elbow and side divorced. The figure described is an ellipse, and is what the greater majority of golfers perform in making their strokes. On plate No. 7. note the action of the hips coming in. Few people deal with this subject, giving it only a re mark in passing. It is a highly essen tial factor in the swing, for without proper hip action the whole stroke would suffer. In going back the body should turn from the hips. You wind the body round from the hips and unwind it as the club comes down. Right Hip Bends Inward. Let us assume we are at the top of the swing, ready to commence the downward stroke. The hands begin to take the club down and as it comes Just below the shoulder a peculiar action occurs. The right hip seems to bend inward and push the lower por tion of the body forward so that it ad vances towards the hole, while the shoulders do not move forward as much. I thinK tnis is a natural aujusi ment of our muscular forces to enable the shoulders to get in their work suc cessfully. Of course. Just the moment after this action takes place the un winding follows immediately. Try it for yourself and note results. I am sorry there is no picture be tween action No. 8 and No. 9. This would have given the reader a idea of the position when the ball was struck. During this portion of the swing the left arm should be straight and close to the body. Never let the elbow out Mil the ball is struck. Plate No. 9 shows the left elbow be ginning to bend and leave the side of the body, with the right hand taking the club well through to a natural finish. At about the time when th club . reaches a horizontal position or the down swing the right hand takes command and literally slings the club head at the ball. Don't worry about your follow through. This is the result, not the cause of your stroke. Before I finish let me give the be ginner a few timely hints which I know will be of value to him. Grip . the club in the fingers and oontrol it principally with the fore fingers end thumbs. Sway of Body la Not Right.' Start the club head first with the wrists and always' let it lead keep the head absolutely still till- the ball is II 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I II wmmi Pictures by N. Olness, Northwest Weekly. The Initial series nabbed Mr. were enough to carry a very tee just as he was half-way in his were taken by -the Northwest Weekly, struck. Do not allow the body to sway and to help to prevent this see that at the top of the swing the weight of the body is equally divided be tween the feet. If anything be partial to the weight being on the ball' of the big toe of the left foot. At the com mencement of the down swing hold the shoulders back. What I mean by this is do not let them. turn too soon, but start the club, first bringing It down to the right and behind you, then onto the ball. Rather hi away from yourself, than draw the arms in. Dur ing the back stroke keep the right el bow down. Throw your club head at the ball and figuratively speaking clean through it. Don't pull your left arm up or take it out from the side when the club comes in contract with the ball, other wise you "bread" your club. Results in loss of power and direction. My admonitions, to pupils to keep their heads still recall a story I heard the other day. An English instructor was working diligently with a slightly inebriated novice, who was experiencing- great difficulty in striking the ball. "Keep your hye on the ball, sir; keep your hye on, the ball." the patient coach constantly reminded. Again and again the futile efforts to connect were followed by the droning advice: "Keep your hye on the ball, sir." Finally in desperation the thoroughly exasperated pupil deliberately removed his right eye. It was a glass eye, and, stooping, he placed the artificial optic on the top of the ball. Then straight ening up he shook his first at it, and wrathfully shouted: "There, d n you! Now take a good look at it." FOUR-KOUSD BOTJT RULES DUE Ordinance Introduced After San Francisco Supervisors See Xeed. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 6. (Special.) The Supervisors of San Francisco have decided that it is necessary to regulate the four-round sport and an ordinance was presented the other day that will come up for consideration im mediately. When 20-round boxing shut down the Supervisors refused to have anything to do with the new state of affairs. Accordingly, the promoters have been running wild. They were two different sets of matches staged last Friday night, and neither drew enough to pay the bills for hall hire. And still they insist upon proceeding. Checker Game Which De cided Title.
