TTTE SUNDAY OltEGONIATS", PORTLAXD, JANUARY 21, 1917. 5 MUNICIPAL LIS GOLF R WAY Work Has Been Going On for Several Months Without' Being Made Public. - FAIR GREENS ARE CLEARED Victor A. Johnson, Who Heads Citi zens' Committee, Says Coarse May Be Ready by August Length to Be 0233 Yards. BY ROSCOH FAWCETT. Within the near future Portland will take its place among other Pacific Coast cities as sponsor for a municipal golf course. Unknown to the general public crews of grubbers with teams and plows and harrows have been working for many weeks at the site of the new municipal links near Reed College, anj it was announced yester day by Victor A. Johnson, chairman of the citizens' committee, that the course should be ready for play about August. "All the clearing has been completed and every fairway and every green has been plowed and harrowed ready for the seed," explained Mr. Johnson. "Mr. Convill, superintendent of parks In Commissioner Baker's department, estimated that the seed will cost close to $2200. and our committee will have to go out and raisa the rest of our guarantee to pay for the seed." Superintendent Convill hopes to sow the grass seed before April, so aa to have the links In shape for the army or mashle wielders and brassie swing ers as early as possible in the Fall. He says if the season is propitious the course will surely be ready by Aug ust JU News la Surprise, The above announcement of the gen eral committee and of Superintendent Convill will be good news to the golfers and aspiring golfers of the city. Nearly everybody thought the matter of a pub lic course had been dropped several months ago when some slight opposi tion developed in the City Council. Undaunted", however, the committee plugged along, and, with the hearty co-operation of the park bureau, a tremendous amount of progress was ac complished without anybody knowing anything about, it. The new municipal course embraces 151 acres lying between the Southern Pacific main tracks near Eastmoreland and Reed College. Reed College dl rectly abuts on the property and Pres ident Foster has offered the use of the college gymnasium for certain months of the year. The viaduct over the tracks on Bybee avenue is the dividing line be tween the two nines. The first nine of 86 acres, lies south of the viaduct and Is fairly level property, with the exoention of a piece of hillside course The fifth hole is located at the top of a rather steep bluff, and the tee Jnr the sixth hole one of the dog letr tvrie is located on top of this snnriA hill. The first nine will he 3241 yards lnnr The distances follow: 1. J30; 2, 450; 3, 350; 4, 100; 5, 340; 6, 500; 7 3S0; 8. 325; 9, 466. Chandler Euan dives Advice. Orvstal Lake lies almost in the cen ter of the tract of 64 acres to the north of the viaduct, and Chandler T.'n former National champion, who laid out the holes, took advantage of this beautiful natural hazard so lar as wan nrartical. Tw nf th holes, the 12th and 17th are short mashle pitches over arms of the lake, and another hole, the 60-yard i5ih crnaspa an arm of the lake proper.

With the opening of the Portland course practically every city of size on the Pacific Coast will have public golf courses. Courses are already in op eration at s Angeles. Sacramento. San Francisco.

"It is a plan of much merit, mean ing a great deal to tennis here, and I have every hope that it will go through." Chess BOARDS CONSIDER PLAN Pitcher Sings and Wins His Pay Check. When Repertoire Is Exhausted H Goea Back to IIuMhea. SEVERAL, years ago, while managing the St. Louis Americans, Jimmy Mc Aleer had a pitcher on the payroll who was a better singer than a twirler. Soon after he reported in the Spring he developed a lame arm, but as he was a likable fellow and possessed a good tenor voice. McAleer decided to keep him around until his arm got strong and he had a chance to show.- Every day while dressing for practice the pitcher would entertain with songs. McAleer Is a lover of musio and rather enjoyed the befor'e-the-game concert. But each day when he asked about the pitching arm,' his sunny disposition would disappear. After about ten days of stalling the young man entered the clubhouse singinji a song that McAleer disliked and he insisted on sineing th same song asain and again. The next day he repeated the programme, and it began to get on McAleer's nerves. In the middle of the chorus the manager stopped the song, and said to the young man: "Is there any song that you know that vou haven't warbled?" The player admitted that he had nothing new to offer in the vocal line. "Well, come to the park tomorrow j prepared to pitch unless you have something new to spring in the way of songs." The pitcher decided to put the muffler on his voice and try to pitch. He did pitch two innings that afternoon, and at 8 In the evening was on the train bound for the bush league town he had played for the year pre vious. McAleer always insisted it was fortunate that he ran out of new songs, or there is no telling how long he might have carried him. ; (Copyright. 1916. by W. G. Evans.)

Help Game. The future of tennis in Portland Is to be looked after by a central or ganization comprised of the four lead ing tennis clubs of the city Multno mah, Laurelhurst, Irvington and Wav- erley if the plan launched at a lunch eon of chairmen of tennis committees of the four organizations goes-through Supervision of the state and city tournaments and all otther open tour naments, ranking of the ten best play ers at the season's close, eligibility as to entrance into the sanctioned tourna ments and the general furthering of interest in the play, are some of the duties proposed for the organization. - Present at the luncheon last week were A. B. McAlpin, of Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club; Everett A. Johnson, of Irvington; A. D. Norris, of Waverley Club, and S. B. Cooke and Clifford C. Harrison, of Laurelhurst Club. Mr. McAlpin, commonly looked upon as the father of tennis in Portland and the city's oldest player, is being talked of for president of the organization and will likely be elected to the office at the next meeting. The body Is to be composed of a president, four directors, each of them either, the tennis chairman or his ap pointee from each of the four clubs. and a secretary. Air. Harrison was se lected as temporary secretary at the first meeting and is securing the data relative to constitution and by-laws and perfecting other plans for the body. The idea grew out of the success which attended Mr. Norris' efforts in handling the Oregon state tournament at Waverley Club last Summer. In stead of making the Waverley Country Club responsible for everything, John son of Irvington and McAlpin of Mult nomah were called in and the three chairmen acted as the committee in charge. When the city tournament was staged Laurelhurst, which had then taken a leading part in tennis, was also called in. Both tournaments went through without a hitch. When the luncheon given by Mr. Cooke last week was railed Norris Rile treated the orsranlza tlon o't such a body to be a permanent one and hold the government of tennis as its duty. The idea took instantly and Is being worked out. Each chairman is to put the matter before the directors of his club for sanction and if consent is ob tained, and there seems every reason to believe that it will be, the organiza tion is assured. Special attention will be paid to the younger players of the city, according to Mr. McAlpin. "We want to give the younger blood every opportunity to learn the game, he said. "The old-timers are through and If Oregon is going to have cham pions in. the future the younger gen eration must produce them.

Farrell. who, with Allison, the barred captain, proved to be one of the great est ends in the Minnesota conference, is one of the Northfielders said to be contemplating a Western trip. Farrell made 'a great reputation for himself against the Chicago eleven last Fall, notably assisting Castleton In its 6-0 defeat of Stagrg's bunch. Dunphy, another stellar performer for Carleton. is another star who will enter Washington. Dunphy played quarterback last Fall when Tolman, the regular signal spieler, was called to the border for military duty. If Hunt pulls these and other stars with him he will be only following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Gil mour Dobie. The University of North Dakota had been trimming the North Dakota Aggies for several years until the Aggies hired Dobie to coach them. Dobie was coaching a Minneapolis high school at the time and when he showed up the following Autumn he brought DIAGRAM SHOWING ARRANGEMENT OF HOLES ON PORTLAND'S NEW MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE, WHICH WILL BE READY FOR PLAT ABOUT AUGUST. vb i ' H ' 'T . - v - . m s . u. s -x .

Joe Cutting, all-Big Nine halfback, barred by Minnesota, was an other, and in addition there was a for mer Carlisle Indian and several others. Dobie's teams naturally reversed the tabtes. When Dobie was hired to come West and coach Washington he brought Max Kakins and Mucklestone with him and these two stars helped him bring Wash ington out of the sloughs of despond into a victorious crusade that has last ed for nine years. Under the new conference rules, how ever, stars who accompany Coach Hunt to Washington this year will not be eligible to compete until after one year's residence. m John'G. Anderson, finalist In the Na tional golf championship two years ago, has an article in the January Golf ers' Magazine advocating that golf clubs not usurp the selling of golf balls and supplies. He thinks the club pro fessionals are entitled to all the per quisites. "A golfer strolls into the profession al's shop to get a few balls, and while there be sees a "fine lot of clubs, nicely polished, and looking better than any thing in his bag," explains Anderson. "Interested, he picks one up and makes a few swings; it feels good to the touch and In two cases out of five he will buy the club and be pleased with his choice." Anderson's argument la that If the club takes over the sale of balls the professional loses a big portion of his profits from other supplies, m m Z Who do you think has the fighting bug? Tommy Ryan think of it, the an cient and venerable Tommy Ryan wants to battle Les Darcy. Tommy waa one of the greatest middle weights the world has ever known in his day, but a man of 46 has passed his fighting prime by some six or eight years at least. Tommy attempted to put on an exhibition in the Armory in Portland about three years ago with "Denver Ed" Martin as hta opponent, and the bout was laughed off the boards. Ryan, like many an old ringster, feels dis gusted from time to time with tbe ring tactics. employed by some of the modern boxers. Naturally he feels like Jump ing into the ring and showing them his old-time skill. But feeling th old spirit In the veins doesn't help one's "win and wigor" to any noticeable ex tent, and unless Tommy wants his rel atives to collect on his life insurance we would advise him to remain on the specators' aid of the rope when Darcy lm la tows.
