I- ormer Lightweight, Now In Welter
Class, Kxpects to Be in Portland
About Ma j- 2 6 and Will Be
Ready for June Bout.
Ralph Gruman was selected last
tilght to bo the opponent of Willie
Ritchie when he boxes here during the
Portland Rose Festival in June. Also
the date of the affair has been changed.
Instead of the event being held on
June 9. It will be pulled off June 6.
The Hippodrome Aathletlc Club will
be the scene of the classiest headline
bout lately arranged for in Portland.
Willie Ritchie usually passes every
Winter in New York or thereabouts
and has been attending Columbia Uni
versity in New York, taking up law.
The San Francisco boy comes home
every Summer, and when he got think
ing about coming West again this Sum
mer he thought of his old friend in
Portland, Joe Flanigan.
The Rose Show was another attrac
tion for Willie In Portland, and he
dropped a card to Flanigan stating that
he would pass through here on his way
home in June, and added that he would
be glad to see his old schoolmate and
his relatives here. Ritchie has a mar
ried sister in Portland and two young
brothers. N
Everything Set for Go.
This put the "bug in the ear" of
Flanigan, who is the manager of the
Beaver Athletic Club, and he Imme
diately asked Ritchie if he cared about
showing his wares in Portland. Ritchie
telegraphed back saying that if he
could make his expenses he wouldn't
mind showing Portlanders that he can
still step. Now Ralph Gruman has been
secured to meet him, and everything hi
set for the classic.
Ritchie is at present a welterweight
and one of the foremost contenders for
that title, the ownership of which is
somewhat in a muddle Just at present.
His last big battle was with Ted "Kid"
Lewis in New York. He is at present
in Chicago, but will be in our midst
by May 26.
Gruman is the best boy that Port
land ever turned out, and it will be a
real test and will' conclusively prove to
Portland fandom whether or not this
fighting youngster has the makings of
a champion.
Weight About Same.
In his last letter here Ritchie said
that he now weighed in the neighbor
hood of 146 pounds, but that when he
gets in perfect shape he will be down
to 143. Gruman will go in strong
weighing about 140 pounds. It will not
be necessary for the local youngster
to make any certain poundage.
Many Portland fans are skeptical
about Ralph's Jaw. which was broken
bv "Knockout" Burns in New York
last July or August, and reinjured in
his bout with, Fraukle Callahan on
January 14. Ralph and his friends con-
tend that the injured member is as
good as ever. If he can get by in the
go with the former lightweight cham
plon it will show conclusively that the
Jaw is as good as new.
Manager Flanigan will arrange five
sterling bouts besides the main event
and the show will serve as a special
added attraction of the Portland Rose
Festival. The railroad companies are
going to bill the event all along their
lines as far north as Seattle and Spo
kane, east as far as Pendleton and
pouth as far as Ashland.
At the Nineteenth Tee
ACCORDING to Dr. Millard Holbrook,
chairman of the greens committee
at the Portland Golf Club, construc
tion work on the second nine holes at
the new course is progressing wonder
fully. The new fairways lie for the
most part through woods, and this en
tails a lot of blasting and grubbing.
Teamed off in a four-ball match
against I. H. Findlay, the Spokane pro
fessional, and J. R. Straight, Russell
Jmith shot another 75 score Sunday
at Waverley. Mr. Straight only got out
recently after an illness of - several
weeks. He is sure to be a contender
In the state championship flight.
The biggest price ever paid for
set of golf clubs, probably, was passed
over for a set in San Antonio recently,
when W. C. Turner, of Tampico, Mex
Ico, set about outfitting himself for a
few rounds of the royal and anciep
game in that city across the border
Mr. Turner paid 1336 Carranza dollars
for the set. He purchased the lot from
Will H. Symons, the widely-known golf
club maker. When Mr. Symons had ex
changed the money into American lucre
he had the sum of $33.40.
Mike Fisher once piloted a baseball
team to China and it played one game
before about 20,000 Celestials. Mike
had to hire a van to tote the Chinese
money receipts down to his hotel. Hi
assistants counted all night, and until
10 o'clock the following morning, when
a recapitulation showed that they had
taken in $18.65 American money.
Poll Perritt. the San Francisco base
ball pitcher, is said to be quite a phe
nom on the golf links. Perritt wai
induced to take up the game by a pro
fessional In Southern California last
Fall and he surprised everybody by
producing score after score around the
7S and 79 mark. Last Winter "Poll"
won a couple of cups in local tourna
ments down South. Justin Fitzgerald,
of the Seals, used to be a caddy near
San Francisco, so he and Perritt have
great sport hitting the gutta pereha
around In the Seal park before the
games.
A. H. Griswold. a prominent San
Francisco golfer, has been a Portland
visitor for several days and has found
time to try his hand on the local links
in company with R. P. Tisdale and
others. Mr. Griswold won the Easter
tourney at the Claremont Club with a
card of 71.
G. H. Mayes, secretary-treasurer of
l-owengart & Co., successfully defended
his laurels as champion golfer of this
concern during the week by trimming
the Lowengart champions from three
other clubs. The unique match took
place on the Waverley course and those
in the four-ball competition besides Mr.
Mayes were Frank Paris, Portland Golf
Club: Ferguson Harper. Spokane: Ed
Frohman. Tualatin Country Club. Ac
cording to the caddies, the quartet fin
ished in this order: Mayes. S4, Paris
S. Frohman S6 and Harper 67. Possibly
the caddies fibbed on one or two of
them. Use your own Judrment

FIRST HALF OF COURSE
AT WAVERLEY CHANGED
Roecoe Fawcett Says Many Dissatisfied With New Hazards on Links, but
Criticizes Snap Judgment on Committee Predicting Early Satisfaction.
BY ROSCOE FAWCETT.
ORK In remodeling the golf
course of the Waverley Country
Club is progressing rapidly.
Most of the new hazards on the lower
nine have been completed, old ones
razed and the landscape manicurists
likely will switch over to the firet
nine within another week.
Enough has been accomplished on
the course to give the members a line
on things as they will be and, as is
always the case, considerable uneasi
ness is in evidence among the poorer
and indifferent piayers and some criti
cism has sprung from more expert
players who should know better.
The hazard builders are now con
centrating on a new bunker in the 13th
fairway. This hole is 490 yards, mostly
downhin, and the new trap Is located
so as to catch second shots. If not well
hit, after a good drive over the brow
of the hill.
Quite a few of the experienced play
ers are. frothing at the mouth because
of this newest activity of the trench
builders. After all has been said and
done, however, these same frothy in
dividuals no doubt will set to work to
solve the problem of overcoming the
hazards.
And this is the interesting feature
of golf.

D. E. "Ned" Sawyer recently was
asked for an opinion on the present
day tendency toward the rebunkering
of golf courses.
"A grolf course," said he. "without
abundant and properly placed hazards
is witiiut any distinctive features
whatsoever and can never rise above
mediocrity. There .should be no one,
who unselfishly plays the pame for the
pure love of it, regardless of his jcolf-
inj? ability, that desires his course to
remain in or deteriorate to the levels
of the undesirable."
One thing sure Is that the recon
struction of the courpeg along scien
tific lines seems to be a move of de
cided importance toward the develop
ment of a better class of golf. This
is due to the forced improvement in
the grame of the ordinary player.
No player of intelligence will fall
into a pit or bunker without setting

This is one of the mo5t difficult under

doubtless will play their first shot short

out to devise ways and means for cir
cumventing the obstacle on his next
round of the links.
Nearty every well-bunkered hole has
several different ways of being played
properly, and Interest naturally in
creases with the diversity of its prob
lems. In the modernization of golf courses
It is essential, of course, that the alter
ations be along proper, scientific lines.
Recognizing this necessity. Gordon
Voorhies. chairman of the green's com
mittee, which includes C. H. Davis. Jr.,
and James O. Wilson, induced Chandler
Kgan, of Medford, to come to Portland
and take care of the reconstruction
work.
The present remodeling of the
Waverley course was the result. The
former National champion spent sev
eral days going over the ground
thoroughly with the committee. As ex
pected, there are those who differ with
his Judgment on some of the hazards.
AlBAW MKS AHR4GIG
SHOOT.
Harry It. Cualrk and lirsnl Frtmis,
D. H. Findlay, the professional at the
Spokane Country Club, who was here
last week with the Spokane team, be
lieves that two or three of the bunkers
have been made too difficult to get out
of. He thinks that the banks should
not have been so steep.
Some others take still a different
view, arguing that some of the haz
ards have not been located properly.
In the long run. however, the reforms
are bound to win over prejudice. One
year or two hence the few players who
are finding It hard to accustom them
selves to the changes will be the most
enthusiastic because of the Interesting
play offered.
It was ever thus!
Wtthin the next fortnight or three
weeks Chandler Kgan will have an
other landscaping Job on his hands, to
wlt, the new municipal links.
C. H. Davis. Jr., wrote him some time
ago at the behest of Victor Johnson.
and Mr. Egan replied that he would
be very. much pleased to assist in 'the
work, providing he could find time.
He suggested the last two weeks la
July as the time most convenient for
him. Mr. Johnson is decidedly anxious
that work be commenced immediately,
however, and an effort is being made
to induce him to come to Portland at
once.
While here the Portland Golf Club
may ask Mr. Kgan to pass Judgment on
the rearrangement of the links at
Raleigh, south of the city.
