TWO COURSES ARE GOOD Rnssell Smitlu Paclflo Northwest Amateur Golf Champion, Asserts ' ' Ingleslde and Del Monte Have Only Fine Zliiks. . BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Only two golf courses In California compare at all with the links in Ore Ron, Washington and British Columbia, in the opinion of Russell Smith, Pacific Northwest amateur golf champion. Champion Smith Is passing the Winter In California. He has played over prac tically every course in the state and writes in a letter to a friend that the Jngleslde course on the beach near San Francisco and the course at Del Monte arn the only links of championship caliber. "I don't understand why they do not have grass greens In Southern Cali fornia." said Champion Smith. "Los Angeles has as fine lawns In the resi dence section as any city In the coun try, and yet the so-called "greens" at the golf courses are not green at all. They are merely circles of sand, as hard almost as asphalt pavement. ;"It is impossible to pitch a shot to the green and stick. It you pitch and happen to strike on the green the ball bounds 20 feet in the air and far be yond the green. Players in Los An geles and environs use the run-up shot exclusively. I understand they are experimenting to some extent now with grass greens, but none of them are being used, so far as I can ascer tain. "The Ingleslde course Is more like Waverley than any course in Califor nia. There is a dandy turf all over the fairways, and the greens are In pplendtd condition. The same applies to Del Monte. The course at the Los Angeles Country Club near Los An geles is picturesque, and the natural hazards are excellent. With grass greens this would be a good links. Midwick, too, has fairly good turf on the fairways and a nice setting In the hills near Pasadena." Mr. Smith is contemplating a trip to Honolulu. If he decides to forego his tropical excursion he likely will be hack in Portland about the first of March. Although Oregon Is no paradise for Indoor golf, owing to the mild Win ters, the rains and snows of the past fortnight have driven many of the disciples of the Scotch pastime to the Inside courts. Portland now boasts four courses of the indoor brand two at the Mult nomah Hotel, one in the basement at the Spalding store and the other on the third floor of the Honeyman Hardware Company. The Honeyman court was opened to the public only a few days ago and Is becoming very popular. There is no charge for play at this course. James J. Richardson, the well-known base ball scout, is the presiding genius be hind th scenes, and occasionally he finds tlmoto indulge in a game blm nelf. He hung up a score of 71 the other afternoon. In order to set this mark James J. holed two or three 15-foot putts and he also had a little luck on his driving. Besides, the course is only nine holes. Under the new rules of the United States Golf Association "Chames" is a professional. Russell Smith and Rudolph Wilhelm are merely amateurs. Apropos of the discussion over the amateur question, John Junor, pro fessional at the Tualatin Country Club, rises to suggest that the "pros" adopt defensive measures. John says that any professional who is unable to make the Waverley or the Portland or Tualatin courses under SO when called upon should forthwith be declared an amateur. inis sounds fully as fair a proposition as the United States Golf Association professionalizing of play ers who eell golf goods. Strictly In terpreted, such a ruling would make Herb Greenland a professional ball player because he tailors Walter Mc- tredie clothes. Some curb was needed on the tendency for capitaliza tion of athletic, skill, but the United States Golf Association went a trifle too strong in its tactics, believe a rreat many of the golfing clan. Just what effect the new rnle x gainst golf links architecture for amateurs will have on Chandler Egan, rormer National champion. Is con jectural. Mr. Egan is living at Med ford, and during the past few months has undertaken several Jobs of links landscaping. Among these are the Boise Country Club at Boise. Idaho. the new municipal course in Portland and the Tualatin Country Club. It, Is believed that he has concluded all his work on these three, and in view of the new ruling it is doubtful If he will sacrifice his amateur standing for any new JOD3. Walter J. Travis and A. W. Tllllng- hast. two well-known Eastern golfers affected by the ban on architects, ap parently have acquiesced to the ruling of the National body and will continue to lay out new courses and accept the verdict of professionalism. The de barring of Travis at this time will not have the effect it would have had in bygone years. His last victory was in the metropolitan amateur champion ship in 1915, and there, incidentally, he defeated Travers in the early rounds or match play. The "daylight-saving" plan will be welcomed eagerly by all golfers. If the hands of the clock are moved an hour ahead hundreds of clerks in rtores. offices and banks will be able to get in a full 18 holes after work In the afternoon instead of nine holes.

BAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3. (Special. Louis Sepulveda is evidently to be second strong catcher for the Seals. Wolverton announced today the out right sale of Clarence Brooks to Dallas in the Texas League. This is the club owned jointly by Ham Patterson an Doc White. They have lined up quite a number of Coasters, Including Skeete Fanning, Lefty Scoggins and . Art Griggs. Wolverton has said all along that either Brooks or Sepulveda would walk the plank. This deal saves Sepulved in less Boss Harry has some proposl tions under his hat. John Hertz, manager of a taxt com jiany in Chicago, has announced that the- starter at one of the hotels will be "May Hill," a young woman of 20. She will be one of the few women do lug this kind of work in America. of Winter, and at no time did we ex perience any inconvenience from the cold. Th following Is an arcnunt of a SO-day cruise from the Portland Motorboat Club on the Willamette River to Ilwaco, Wash., at he mouth of the Columbia Hlver. The trip was recently completed by Mr. and Mrs. A. Ullfers. members of the Portland Motorboat Club, and was made In their i rulser Martena. 31 feet Ions; by 9 feot beam. The trip win be of Interest to those who have ambitions to cruise down the Columbia next Summer, as Mr. I" lifers took particular pains to look Into the conditions of the various little ports. Sporting Editor.) We left the Portland Motorboat Club in the afternoon of December 21, stop ping at St. Helens the next day about 10 A. M., then direct to Cathlamet, where we spent the Christmas holidays. After New Year's we started on our way down the river, stopping at Skamokawa one night. There we found good landing place, convenient to getting in and out of the boat. From Skamokawa we ran to Gray's River, stopping at the way points on the Washington side. It being high tide, we had little difficulty in getting from Altoona to Grays River, through what Is called the Upper Channel. There is scarcely any water here at all, but when the tide Is high a boat drawing not more than four feet of water can go almost anywhere over the sands. Boat Left oa Sands. When we arrived at the mouth of Grays River It was Just getting dark. so we decided to tie up to a log boom and stop over night. My wife had dinner ready, so I did not spend much time In sounding the water, etc.. where we tied up. After we had dinner we decided to retire early and get a good early start the next morning. Kvery thing went fine until about 1 o'clock. when my wife wakened me saying that it must be getting very rough, for the coat was listing so she could hardly lie in bed without rolling out. Upon looking: out of the cabin I found we were high and dry on a mud flat. We were compelled to lie In this position until 6:30 in the morning, when the tide came high enough to float us. We then ran about eight or 10 miles up Grays River. There we saw some beautiful scenery. In fact, I think it is the most scenic navigable stream leading from the Columbia. Astoria la Visited. From there we ran down the Wash tngton side as far as Knappton. We found good shelter In behind the quar antine station there. The next day we. ran over to Astoria, staying there for several days. Wo tied up at one of the canneries, using a fish-boat moring. This took the place of an anchor, so when we wanted to go ashore all we had to do was to loosen one line and pull the boat up to the ladder. After spending about a week in Astoria we ran around to Young's Bay. We also ,f ound that a very good place to anchor. From there we went to Chinook. W,e were obliged to go In there on high tide, also come out on high tide, as the channel is not deep enough for any boat drawing over two feet of water to come out except when the tide Is high. We had no trouble In getting in to Ilwaco. except right at the dock we found that we were obliged to leave the boat tied as far out on the end of the dock as possible to keen it from going aground on low water. Coming back from Ilwaco to Astoria we. struck a very heavy fog and wers, obliged to use1 the compass for oer 80 minutes, as we were unable to see any light or shore. We had a very nice trip all the way up the river until we reacnea iaiaraa. There we encouDiercu & aren. ucm v ire. but we succeeded In get ting to St. Helens by following the nrnn shore very closely. We then nr. the Willamette Slough, in which there, was no ice. We enjoyed the trip from start to finish, even thou It wu In the dead National Championship Dates Set. NEW YORK. Feb. 3.

AfflERlGAN IS LAST Albert Campbell, Cree Half breed, Wins Dog Race. HARTMAN FALLS ON ICE Plucky Druggist Crumples Up . at Finish and Is Taken to Home ot L. V. Hill, Chairman of Carnival Association. ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 8. Albert Campbell, a ?ree halfbreed from the Hudson's Bay district, won the longest dog race of history today, while Fred Hartraan. an American and popular fa vorite, finished the last in the field of five competitors who completed the course and collapsed as he crossed the line here early tonight. Wild acclaim greeted Hartman, when, long after dusk, he staggered in front of the judges' stand at Lake Como. Campbell finished ten days almost to the minute after he had been sent away from Winnipeg. Next in order came Bill Grayson, Joe Metcalf and Gabriel Campbell, a brother of the win ner. The final dash from Elk River today was dramatic. The four Hudson's Bay drivers had arranged to stake every thing on the final drive and purposed resting at Elk River. There Hartman was staying also, but his attempt to slip away from his rivals was frus trated when someone, said to have been employed to watch him, informed the other four of his movements, and they were routed out of their beds. They reached Anoka ahead of him and were never headed. Hartman crumpled up as he plodded over the ice of Lake Como. He was rushed in an automobile to the resi dence of L. W. Hill, chairman of the St. Paul Carnival Association, which staged the race. Hartman, a Boston chemist, employed as assayer in Manitoba, will profit from his arduous experience notwithstanding his failure to win. Purses aggregating more than $1000 have been made up for him. A first prize of $50u cash and a number of otlier prizes go to Albert Campbell. iUeven teams started. The course followed the old Pembina trail. S22 miles from Winnipeg up the Red River to St. Paul.

Prentice, of New York, and Conrad B. Doyle, of Washington. D. C, will rep resent the East In the next team match with the West. It will be played March 9 and 10 at Los Angeles, Cal. Julian S. My rick, president of the West Sid Tennis Club, who had charge of the arrangements for the East, mad this announcement after receiving a tele gram from Dr. Sumner Hardy, presi dent of the Pacific States Lawn Tennis Association, confirming the details. These intersectlonal contests have come to be one of the features of the tennis season and consequently there has been a great deal of interest among the fans, while the preliminaries were under discussion. The announcement of the Eastern team's personnel will be received with satisfaction, for the players are of such ability that they are certain to give an excellent ac count of themselves. Church and Throckmorton are play ing in the Orient and are scheduled to compete in the Mid-Paciflc Carnival tournament at Honolulu beginning February 9. William M. Johnston and John Strachan, the California stars. also are entered for this event. The players are expected to catch steamers eaving Honolulu February 21 and 22, so that they will reach California in ample time for the intersectlonal match. Doyle and Pell to Start Soon. Doyle and Pell will leave the East the last week in February and go right through to the Coast. This will give them a few days to become -acclimated and to prepare for the big matches. Prentice is leaving for California next week, so he will have ample opportun Ity to round into form. The high class of the Eastern team is apparent In the ranking they re ceived for their play last season. Church was placed No. 3 by the rank ing committee, while Doyle. Throck morton and Pell were all in Class 1. The playing ability of the men In this class Is so nearly equal to some of those who make the first 10 that it is extremely difficult to differentiate be tween them. Prentice is a tournament player of long experience and for more than a dozen years has held the cham pionship of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. Mr. Myrlck said that nothing had been announced as to the makeup of the California team. Johnston and Strachan are almost certain to have places on It, however, while "Peck" Griffin and McLoughlin may be expect ed to compete. In addition there are Bundy, Dawson, Roland Roberts, War ren, Hahn, Johns all of whom have been East besides other players of more than ordinary ability from whom the Callfornlans can choose a team. West Beaten Last Year. It is certain that they will make every -effort to get together a strong combination, because of the outcome of the last East-West match. This was played at Forest Hills August 4 and 5 and resulted In an overwhelming vic tory for the East, six matches to one. The only match lost by the East was when Johnston and Griffin, National doubles champions, defeated Behr and Alexander. In the others W. M. Wash burn defeated R. L. Murray. Karl H. Behr defeated Willis E. Davis. G. M. Church defeated C. J. Griffin, R. N. Williams defeated W. M. Johnston, N. W. Niles defeated Roland Roberts and Williams-Church defeated Davis-Murray. The overwhelming" victory of the Eastern players was a distinct surprise and the Callfornlans may be depended upon to even matters If possible in this meeting. - Four matches of singles and two of doubles will be played. Dr. Hardy b latest telegram said that women's events also would be arranged and that Mary Browne and the Sutton sisters are expected to play. Miss Molla Bjurstedt, National women's champion. has been Invited to make the trip to compete against them. Toe nrst .ast-west match was played in 1899. when M. D. Whitman Beals C. Wright, Dwlght F.
