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

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. ;

Girls' Basketball Games Prohibited.
SAN JOSE, Cal., Jan. 20. Girls' inter
normal school basketball games cause
tensions detrimental to school work,
faculties of the State Normal Schools
of San Jose and Chico concluded to- ,
day. in an order abolishing such con- j
tests. A game scheduled for February!

order Is rescinded. I

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.
"Instruction, , systematic if possible,
advice and encouragement is to be

AXX5RDING to the St. Paul Pioneer
Press, Coach Hunt of Carleton Col
lege will take several of his star
football players with him when he as
sumes his coaching duties at the Uni
versity of Washington next September.
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

nearly an entire team with him. Jack
Marks, who afterward captained Dart
mouth to a 20-0 victory over Harvard
was one. 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

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

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.
