ney. R. PL Kilroy. a member of the Pre

California Golf Booming.
Golf In California is booming and It
should be no difficult trick to gather
a delegation of this size. There are
12 golf clubs located around San
I'rancisco Bay and at least an equal
number in other towns in close prox
imity to the Northern California me
tropolis. Here is a list of those within a few
tnlnutes" ride of the ferry: Presidio,
Ingleside, Beresford, Belvedere, Lake
side, Lincoln Park, two at Menlo Park,
two at San Rafael, and over across the
bay in Oakland, Claremont and the Se
quoyah clube.
The Lakeside Club Is not entirely
completed, but will be ready for play
some time the coming Summer. This
club is on the beach within a mile of
the Ingleside course and south of the
Cliff House and beach resorts.
Russell Smith and the writer en
Joyed a couple of rounds of the Ingle
side and Presidio courees with Harry
K. B. Davis, former Portland expert,
who won the Exposition title a year
ago. and Colonel R. M. Schofield, for
merly of Vancouver Barracks. Mr.
Davis said the new Lakeside course
would be the best in California.
$70,000 Spent on New Coarse.
It is backed by a coterie of wealthy
Fan Franciscans, chief among them the
Kleischhackens. Nearly $70,000 al
ready has been spent on the course.
The natural hazards are said" to be
wonderful, and, as might be Imagined,
money is doing the reBt.
Harry K. B. Davis has been attempt
ing to rejuvenate an old gold mine
near Sacramento for several months,
Bnd so is not at the top of hia golf
pame. He still hits his terrific tee
(hot, however, and it was a delight to

While in Southern California for the
Oregon-Pennsylvania football game,
Russell Smith played the Los Angelea
Country Club and the Midwlck courses

Story About Golfer Finds
Long Lost Relatives.
Clark, Professional, Tells of Miaa-
iiib; Mother and Sister 13 Ye
Ago, and Family la Remitted.
BY GRANTLAKD RICE.
rriHIRTEEN years ago Jack Clark,
JL one of the first of the professional
frolfers to come to America, left thi
country for the purpose of bringing
tack his mother and sister from their
Jiome at Montrose, Forfarshire. Scot
land.
About the same time Clark's mother
una sister left Scotland to locate Jack
jn America. uney were passengers
upon "snips that pass in the nis-ht'
Clark reached Forfarshire to find his
mother and sister gone. He returned
to America, and for 13 years has been
trying to locate his missing family. "I
jicvci uacu ii us on ttiiDi, ne says, Dut
vl have missed many a drive and man
ft putt worrying over the thought that
I would probably never see my mother
and sister again. After 13 years one
at last gives up all except the last faint
oegree of hope."
Clark is one of the self-effacing Scot
Types tnat withdraws from nublieitv.
But last Sunday we ran a short sketch
of Clark under the heading, "Tales of a
AVayside Tee." A3 the poet remarked in
effect: "Full many a shot at random
fnt finds mark the archer little
meant.
"Tales of a "Wayside Tee" went to
the Boston Globe and the Boston Globe
went, among others, to a certain home
In Everett, Mass. Yesterday Clark re
ceived two letters from Everett. One
was from Mrs. Beatrice Clark and the
other was from Mrs. Marv Pike. Clark
is now headed for Everett, Mass.. to
Visit his mother and sister for a family
reunion aeiayea 13 years.
The defeat of Phil Carter nt -pin
hurst came as a surprise to those who
have seen the young Met. star at play
over Pinehurst courses. Last Winter,
starting on January l. Carter won five
tournaments in succession at the North
Carolina golfing resort and was voted
unbeatable. He had one mark of 66
over the No 2 course. Even the leading
rroiessionais were una Die to stop him,
due not only to good iron play, but also
to his remarkable facility in playing
short run-up shots from 20 to 50 yards
nway within a few feet of the cup. The
ill fate which has pursued Carter since
those five successive triumphs has been
unusual. He failed badly after return
ing North, the last blow coming in his
failure to qualify at Merion for the
Amateur Championship. It may be that
by starting 1917 with a defeat the un
lucky beginning may produce a happier
ending for the year ahead.
The Winter Golf Association of Ad
vertising Interests is already lining up
for the annual Pinehurst assault. This
season the Ad veterans will all be back
and many new entries are expected. It
is more than possible that Max Behr,
former Jersey champion and editor of
Oolf Illustrated will Join-the Ad colony
in an effort to bring hack the $1000
gold cup donated by Rodman Wana
maker. Porto Rico has produced more than
4S3.000 short tons of sugar this year,
the grreatest output ever recorded for
the island.

Friday and Saturday.
OREGOX AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Corvallis, Jan. 13. Basketball hopes
which had begun to wither with the
loss of two of the Oregon Aggies' star
hoop-shooters last week, received a
brace yesterday with the return of Ade
Sieberts to the game. Ade had quit col
lege to accept a position In the busi
ness office of the institution, but was
prevailed upon to finish out the re
mainder of the year, and thereby lend
his stellar ability on the court to the
already badly depleted ranks of the
varsity quint.
The powers of persuasion have had
no effect on Ira Mix, Aggie captain and
guard, however, who has decided to
abandon college and athletics and step
out into the world. Mix was graduated
last year from a college, but returned
this Fall to take up special work until
such time as he could get into the line
of work which he has now started to
follow. The election of a new captain
to fill his shoes will probably not take
place until after the first Oregon
games. Should Mix still be absent at
that time, it is probable that the honor
will fall upon either Henry Blagg or
Howard Ray, both of whom were mem
bers of last season's varsity.
With the squad minus a few of Its
leading point winners, through absence
and injury. Coach May is having a dif
ficult time to develop anything which
will resemble team work, and with
only one practice day remaining before
the Aggie five is scheduled to meet its
first conference opponent, a strenuous
effort is being made to complete the or
ganization of the remaining recruits.
The first conference game was to
have been played against Oregon on
Friday of this week, but owing to the
lack of condition of both teams, the
series will be played out next week. -On
Tuesday and Wednesday the college
and university quintets will mix on the
Eugene courts, while return games will
be played at Corvallis on Friday and
Saturday evenings.
The Aggie lineup will probably be
chosen from the following men: For
wards, Sieberts, Friedman. Phillips.
Meyers; guards, Ray, Low, Bissett; cen
ter, Blagg.
GOLF CONFIDENCE IS VITAL
Many Slatches Won When Player Is
Sure of Ability.
Confidence plays the same Important
part in golf that it does in any other
sport. It is really a necessity, yet
the word is greatly misused, and one
is too inclined to think that a confident
person expects to clean up every nuns
in sight. And, to a certain extent, this
is often true, perhaps even more so in
tie sense of being confident of one's
own playing ability, which wins many
a match.
Take, for Instance, a putt of say two
feet. Assume that Wilhelm has this
putt to win his match from Standifer
on the last green. He knows he must
make this apparently simple shot if he
is to win and, therefore, he goes about
it sometimes carefully or on the other
hand too hastily, according to his men
tal powers. We'll say he misses that
putt and is defeated at an extra hole.
Returning to the "19th" holev his
friends surround him and in turn com
miserate with him upon his hard luck.
He is asked to explain how he hap
pened to miss that putt. The answer
is usually: "Too sure of holing it."

COSTLY BASEBALL RECRUITS
SELDOM FULFILL EXPECTATION
Fans Ride Greatly Advertised Players and Many of Them Fail Because
Public Demands Too Much of Them, While Unheralded Men "Get By.
BY BILLY EVANS,
1 American League Umpire.
DESPITE the fact that club owners
are willing to take a chance on
paying fancy prices, few players
who have cost big money have been of
much value.
Perhaps the meet recent case that
tends to bear out that statement was
that of Larry Chappelle with the Chi
cago White Sox, who was reputed to
have been purchased for $13,500 from
the Milwaukee club.
He made his debut in a game with
the Athletics, with Chief Bender doing
the pitching. Not a .very soft spot to
Dreak in.
"Some price they paid for that young
fellow," 1 remarked to Manager Mack
prior to the beginning of the game.
"That is the biggest tfnock that
young man could get," replied Mack.
"How do you figure that out?" asked
one of .his players.
"Simply because baseball fane will
sret an exaggerated opinion of the
player's ability, and expect far greater
things from him than be. will be able
to produce."
"Think of the advertising the club is
getting because of having paid that
big price," I volunteered.
"The advertising will get some extra
money at the gate." said Connie, "but
it is likely to prove the ruination of
the player."'
Fans Ride Chappelle Hard.
At that moment the bell rang. and.
after getting Manager Mack's battery
selections, I started the contest. Be
tween innings I gave some thought to
Manager" Mack's opinion of the pur
chase of Chappelle. The more I reflect
ed, the more wisdom I saw in what
the great manager had said. He cer
tainly had summed up the situation
well.
"So you're the $13,500 lemon." was
the overworked expression employed
every time Chappelle struck out,- or
popped up. Other players could do the
same Jhing without a word from the
fans. Anyone who ever attended a ball
game knows the many cutting things
fans can think of during a game. 1
venture to say that Chappelle did not
miss any of them. Had he joined the
Chicago club unheralded nothing would
have been thought of it If he failed to
deliver, but unfortunately for Larry
he was greeted with a blare of trum
pets.
Player Falls Twice.
It may not have been the cause, but
Chappelle was a failure at Chicago,
likewise at Cleveland.
That Is one of the unfortunate things
about being a star, or simply being
touted as a star; you are always ex
pected to deliver the goods. Failure
of the ordinary player to come through
with a timely hit or a eensational play
in the field is passed over lightly. Let
the star slip in the pinch and the
tongues at once begin to wag.
Let some youngster come to the big
show without a reputation, and the
pitchers will work on him but little,
until they realize he has real batting
ability. But when a "bush leaguer"
joins the big league touted as a Lajole
or a Cobb with the stick, the star
pitchers, and those not so famous, im
mediately go to work on him. It in
stantly becomes their desire to Impress
upon the young man that he is simply
human.
Believe me, when the big league
pitchers throw in the high speed the
batter has his Job cut out for him.
This recalls a remark made to me
several years ago by a youngster who
had just joined the Washington club.
He came from a fast minor league and
hit a bit better than .300. In the first
game he played he struck out three
times, managing to sneak in one foul.
As he fanned for the third time no
ticed that he stayed around the plate
until the catcher got away.
Umpire Gives Encoaragrmeit
"I don't look very good at the plate,
do I?" he asked. I had to confess that
he did not, but I tried to make him
feel better by telling him that I had
seen Doc White strike out the great
Ty Cobb four times, and Ed Walsh
make the mighty Lajoie whiff thrice.
As the youngster started to take his
place in the field 1 remarked to him:
"Don't be discouraged. It's the same
came up here as in the bushes. They
use the same kind of a bat and the
same kind of a ball."
"I realize that," said the youngster
with a smile, "but with these pitchers
1 the ball looks a lot different." No bet

ter explanation of the difference be
tween the pitching in the minors and
the big show could be given than the
statement of the recruit.
To make good In the big show is the
ambition of practically every fellow
who takes baseball seriously. There is
little except experience to be gained
in the minors. The financial induce
ments as a rule are none too tempting,
and most players look upon the minors
as simply a necessary step In reaching
the big league.
Reversal In Majors Mranse.
However, the reversal of form some
players show when, they hit the ma
jors Is really remarkable. Although
stars in the league from which they
come, they fail to show the class ex
pected when playing with or pitted
against the stars of the majors. Other
players, regarded as only mediocre in
the bushes, instantly Jump into favor
in the majors. I have seen dozens of
such cases each Spring. Players who
were counted upon to add strength and
develop into' stars were early turned
back to the minors, while other ath
letes, hardly regarded as having a
chance, were either holding down regu
lar berths or acting as first substi
tutes. No young pitcher who has broken
into the American League in years had
a more sensational rirst season than
Reb Russell, of the Chicaaro Whit Sox
I am told that on the Spring training
trip Russell was never given even
slight consideration.- Perhaps a halt
dozen other twlrlers were regarded
more highly. So ordinary did he I00K
mat ne was sent with the second team
on the exhibition tour. Not until it
became evident that a number of the
highly touted recruits would not do
aia rtusseu get his real chance to show
whether or not he possessed the ability
that entitled him to a chance in the
majors.
At the close of the 1913 season Rus
sell was a finished pitcher. It is true
that a pitcher always can learn some
thing about the game, but Russell
wore a pretty fair big league polish.
hen he made his debut in the Spring
of 1913 he had more to learn about the
liner points or Dig league twirling. 1
believe, than any pitcher I have ever
seen. If there ever was a diamond In
the rough. Russell was one. Practically
every time he threw to first base he
made a balk; when they started bunt
ing it made him dizzy.
(Copyright. 1817. by W. G. Evans.)
Tips Off the Tee.
THE drive la a fairly complicated set
of movements, all of which have to
fit into each other with the utmost
nicety, and the least deviation is suffi
cient to throw the whole thing out of
gear. ' The more naturally the swing is
made the longer will the drive become.
The beginner should make it his sole
object to make his swings properly, to
hit the ball as it ought to be hit, and
to send it straight along the line with
out either pull or slice and at Just the
proper height, ir he does this he will
find that very gradually but yery sure
ly length will come of Itself, and that
really long balls may be got without
any apparent extra effort of strength.
If he watches the great players he will
find that many of them drive balls
practically as far as It is humanly pos
sible to do under present conditions
without any such apparent effort, and
one is therefore inclined to say that
perfect skill combined with a moderate
amount of strength is what is most
necessary for this purpose. Certainly
the secret of the long ball is not abso
lutely strength, for looseness of limb
has more to do with it than that.
For the rest, the art of driving the
very long ball seems to be more or less
of a natural gift. Some men can do It,
and others can't and never will, how
ever much they try, and that seems to
be the end of It. Experience rather
suggests that there is something too
mysterious about the business for ex
planation. 600,000 Golfers In Cnited States.
Do you know that there are more
than 600.000 golfers in the United
States? Do you know that there are
more than 1500 courses? The interest
in golf is increasing every year. It
ranks with baseball, football and box
ing. It is getting to be the game of
the people. No longer is golf consid
ered a "millionaire's same."

NEW YORK. Jan. 13. Several -olfers
of National reputation will be driven
rrom the amateur ranks by the appli
cation of the new definition of an
amateur, approved early today at the
annual meeting of the United States
uoir Association. The meeting also
sustained the rule under which Francis
Ouimet. Paul Tewksbunr and J. H
Sullivan. Jr.. of the Woodland (Mass.)
uoir Club, were deprived of their
amateur standing.
A motion for a direct vote on the
action of the executive committee In
giving notice to the disqualified golf
ers and calling on the Woodland club
to withdraw their names from the
handicap list of the Massachusetts
Golf Association was ruled out of or
der after the vote on the main ques
tion had shown that Ouimefs friends
were well In the minority.
After a spirited debate the delegates,
by SO to 12. upheld a report of the
executive committee, sharply restrict
ing the status of an amateur. The
rule, as amended and adopted, makes
meiigioie as an amateur the player
engaging in any business connected
with the game of golf wherein one's
useiuiness or profits arise because of
sain or prominence In the game of
golf."
Golf Architects Barred.
xne interpretation put upon thi3 is
that it will class as players engaged
"in laying out. construction or upkeep
of a golf course or any part thereof."
commonly Known as "golf architects.
in making the latter change the
committee does not intend to alter the
intent or comprehensiveness of former
ruling No. 6, the report stated.
"The new wording is used simply for
tne purpose or greater clarity and to
avoid any impression that discrimina
tion Is intended between employer and
employe.
Ruling No. 6 had made Ineligible
players "accepting or holding any posi
tion as agent or employe that includes
as part of its duties the handling of
goir supplies, or engaging in any bus!
ness wherein one's usefulness or pro'.. is
arise because of skill or prominence in
the game of golf."
Determined efforts were made by the
oodland Golf Club to have the dele
gates take some action looking to the
reinstatement of Ouimet. Tewksbury
and Sullivan. W. M. Noble, of the
Woodland club did his utmost to con
vince the gathering that the three
players had been dealt with unjustly.
Sport" Aim of Association.
Frank L. Woodward, of Denver, re
tiring president, rose to the defense of
the executive committee In reply to Mr.
Noble's allegation that Ouimet, Tewks
bury and Sullivan had been debarred
without having been give'n a chance to
be heard. aid made an impassioned
plea for "sport 'or sport's sake and
not sport for gain."
Silas H. Strawn. of the Old Elm
Club. Chicago, also defended the ex
ecutive committee. "All the commit
tee asks." he said, "is that there shall
be no discrimination between the man
who sells golf clubs and the man who
lays out a golf course for pay."
Frank M Bowers, of New York, de
clared that the defeat of the report
would be "the end of a gentleman's
sport in this country."
The National amateur championship
