EW 8-HQLE COURSE
ILL BE SPORTIEST
Links Under Construction
Near Heart of City.
GOLFING TESTS PROVIDED
Ability of Amateurs and Pros
W ill Get Third Degree When
Work Is Completed.
Portland Is to have a new nine
hole golf course soon, -which will
provide a real test of golf, not only
to amateurs, but to professionals as
well. The course in question is
the municipal links, now under con
struction on the site of the old
county poor farm less than 15 min
utes by automobile from the heart
of the city.
Actual work on the course,
which is to be financed through
a committee headed by Graham
Dukehart, which Is soliciting sub
scriptions from golfers of the city,
started July 6 under direction of
J. W. Peters, construction engin
eer with the Portland park bu
reau. Except for two holes the
course has been roughed out. By
August 15 preliminaries should be
completed. 1
This preliminary work consists of
clearing away the underbrush and
leveling off spaces for tees and
greens. Then the fairways will be
plowed and seeded and the perma
nent greens established.
Yardage Is 3062.
The plan of the course, drawn
by H. Chandler Egan, ex-national
amateur champion,, puts the yard-
b irn tnw fha ntn. linlcfl at 3 ft fi 9
. U . -J . t . . 'J mug u..u w www.
When completed the course will be
the sportiest in the city.
Four of the holes will require
long tee shots to carry over ra
vines or gulches. There are sev
eral dog leg's on the course, which,
coupled with blind greens, will
make it most difficult. The long
est hole is 500 yards and the short
est 130. On several holes it will
require a true tee shot down the
center to keep out of trouble. In
addition to the many natural haz
ards, the course when finished will
be well trapped.
The first hole is e slight dogleg. It
will require a fairly good tee shot of
150 yards to carry to the top of
a hill from where the green may
be seen. The second shot, played
too strong, will find a trap back
of the green. The distance of this
hole is 371 yards.
The second hole. 365 yards, is
practically the same as the first
except that it lies down' hill, be
ing parallel to the first fairway.
On the third hole only a very
accurate drive will keep out of
trouble, as the fairway, which runs
parallel to the second hole, is only
40 yards wide at one spot. A big
fir tree looms before the player
about 100 yards from the tee across
a small gully. The third is a 280
yard hole. Between the fir tree,
which is at the left boundary of
the fairway, and a small growth
of trees and brush, which mark the
right hand boundary, is only 40
yards. .
Fonrtn Shortest Hole.
The fourth is the shortest hole
of the course, being a one-shot.
140-yard hole. This hole has not
yet been roughed in. While short,
trouble awaits the player who
dubs his tee shot, as the first shot
requires a carry of better than
100 yards to cross a deep ravine.
On the fifth there is another
carry from the tee of 100 yards
to clear the same gully that is
crossed in hole four. The fifth,
which has not yet been cleared of
underbrush, might be called
double dog-leg hole. It is 405 yards
long.
The sixth is another one-shot hole,
being only 166 yards long.
Tee seven is high, set on the
brow of a hill. Besides being a
blind green the hole also is a dog
leg. It is 465 yards long.
The eighth, which doubles back
parallel to the seventh, is played up
hill and is 3S0 yards lonig.
The ninth, another dog-Jag- hole of
500 yards, Is played from a tee high
on the mound of a hill the same as
hole seven. In one place the fair
way here is narrow, requiring a
true shot to keep out of trouble.
Progress is rapid on the prelimi
nary work but there is much to be
done before the 'nine holes will be
ready for play. Graham Dukehart,
soliciting funds for the course, re
ports that less then half the. amount
necessary for construction has been
subscribed and that to complete the
nine holes a better response from
the golfers who have not yet given
their bit is necessary.
If the money cornea in, the nine
holes could be made ready for play
by late this fall, though not in good
condition until spring.
GOLF FEE TO BE CHARGED
Price to See Championships to
Keep Attendances Down.
This Is the golf season in which
the bee will be put upon the fan
just as has always been done in
baseball, boxing and other sports
which are more dependent than golf
upon the paid gate. The United
States Golf association will charge
an entrance fee for the national
championships for the first time in
history. The United States Golf as
sociation does not need the money.
It can get along very well on what
it now has in the way of Income and
the real purpose of the paid gate is
to keep down the attendance, which
in recent years has been so large
that it has interfered with the play.
The officials believe that If a fee
is charged this will keep away the
curious and those who go because
there is a crowd and the show is
free.
They believe that when the line of
s-2ctators is reduced to the real
Kolf enthusiasts, who are willing to
My to see the stars, that the at-
:idance will be kept within reaaon
' y,e bounds. Others do not agree
i- ith the officials, maintaining that
i he increase in the popularity of the
Kame has been such that those who
will be kept away because of the
gate fee will be more than made up
tor in new enthusiasts. The time
is coming, they maintain, when It
will be necessary to Jlmit the at
tendance by Invitation.

HEIGHT TOO GREAT HANDI
CAP TO OVERCOME.
Leonard Shows Great Skill and
Advantage in Michigan
City Contest.
The Leonard-Kansas contest at
Michigan City July 4 last proves two
things conclusively that Kansas is
wholly and irrevocably eliminated
from championship honors, so far
as the lightweight class is con
cerned, and that his height is too
much of a handicap to overcome
battling against topnotchers of his
division.
Rocky measures, but 5 feet 2
inches. If my recollection is right,
there never has been a champion
who was so small in stature. Leon
ard is 5 feet 5 Inches; Freddie Welsh
was 5 feet 7 inches; Jack McAuliffe,
the undefeated champion, was 5 feet
6 inches; Ad Wolgast was 5 feet 4
inches; Billie Myers, 6 feet 6 inches;
Lew Tendler is 5 feet 6 iirohes. and
you can, go down, the line and you
will seethat those who have made
ring history in the lightweight di
vision have been above 5 feet 4
inches, and the great majority of
them 5 feet 6 inches.
There is a good, and sufficient
reason for this. Reach is the most
valuable requirement that a boxer
can have. He is always handicapped
by an opponent with a longer reach.
There have been exceptions to this
rule in the case of so-called freaks,
such as the black boxer, Wolcott,
but not many; you could count them
On the ends of your fingers.
And we will admit that Kansas
was no match for Leonard. That
fact was proved conclusively. Admit

ONE ' OF the most important
things In golf could have been
learned by a close student of
the game if he had observed the
matter of grips at the two 'big open
championships just played.
At Sandwich it was quite notice
able that 49 out of 50 pros used the
overlapping grip, commonly called
the Vardon grip after he adopted it
I talked to Vardon about this grip
and its origin and he confessed to
having had nothing to do with orig
inating it.
The grip is easy to learn. Any
golfer with large hands would make
a great mistake in not using it.
The left hand is placed on the
club Just as though one were grip
ping a baseball bat. But instead of
the thumb joining the fingers in
circling the club, it is placed on top
of the shaft.
The right hand is then laid on In
the same way, with one exception
the first three fingers only touch
the shaft. The other one the little
finger overlaps the first finger of
the left hand.
Thumb Goes to Left.
The thumb of the right hand is
just a trifle to the left of the shaft
in such a position that, with the
forefinger of the same hand, it takes
a controlling interest in the club.
The matter of gripping the club
has bothered many players. When
the overlapping grip was first used
it became a fad - Immediately. No
first-class player today could get
near the results without It.
There are several variations, how.
ever, and yours truly is employing
one of them. I overlap with two fin
gers instead of one, but I am not
going to recommend this to begin
ners or others playing the game and
wishing to find a new grip. In fact.
I would recommend that they do not
do this until at least they have tried
overlapping with one finger.
There was a reason for my taking
hold of the club in this way. I used
to hook quite a bit at one time, and
found that if I did not use so much
right hand on the club I could cor
rect this fault. It suits me, but it
might not suit others.
As I said, about one in B0 employs
something different. Men with short
fingers usually put all fingers on
MOTHER AND SON, ALL GOLF
ting that he did break his wrist, it
is plain to see that he was out
matched. There have been any num
ber of boxers who continued, with
broken bones and to much better
advantage than the plucky little
Buffalo boy did, "
Leonard showed his great skill
and advantage in this contest, if he
did make a poor showing against
Jack Britton. But in considering his
two bouts it seems proof that he
will have a much harder route to
travel among the welters and it
also proves that Kansas is hardly
of the necessary caliber to be con
sidered seriously in championship
prospects. .
PRIZE TO REPAY HARD LUCK
Harry Hobson Believes in Com
forting Unfortunate Angler.
HOQTJIAM, Wash.. July 28. (Special.)-
Harry, D. Hobson of Lyons,
Or., maker of superfine fishing rods,
is a sportsman of the old school,
who believes in comforting the un
fortunate. As proof of this he has
written a letter to the Hoquiam Rod
and Gun club which was read at the
meeting of the club last night and
the offer in which was enthusiasti
cally accepted. The letter read:
"It is a very fine thing to give a
man who brings in the -biggest trout
or who can tell the biggest yarn
a prize. But I have always felt
that there should be something for
the other fellow, the chap who has
the real hard luck. So this fall
when the fishing season is over and
prizes awarded I am going to ask
that each of you cast a vote for the
fellow member whom you honestly
feel has suffered the greatest
amount of hard luck. For the win
ner of this contest I will build to
his special order either a fly or a
casting rod which he will be proud
to own. So bad luck this season
may mean good luck."
OF BRITISH OPEN
the club handle, but they are care
ful to keep the hands as close to
gether as possible. '
Pros Reverse Grip.
A few pros have found a new
idea in gripping the club that may
help those wno need more distance
and who have no fear of hooking.
They have reversed the Vardon grip
and overlap with the left hand in
stead of the right.
This is not entirely new. Several
of our very best stars, I might say
our very best putters, change to this
grip in putting. Walter Hagen, who
succeeded me as British title holder,
is one of them. Walter J. Travis,
who once won the British amateur
mainly through fine putting, is an
other. If a golfer Is off form in putting
I would suggest taking a fling at
this style. It will be a great help at
first. It always is a good idea to
change the putter, the grip or the
stance when putting badly, One
putts badly through loss of touch
as a rule. Any change will bring
one back on the game.
In the recent championships at
Skokie there were something over
300 entered, but the percentage us
ing the Vardon grip was not great.
This was because many .amateurs
were playing and it may be shock
ing though true that few first-class
amateurs overlap. I think this is- a
decided weakness in their game. For
a number of years up to the time
Chick Evans won the amateur cham
pionship at Merlon, not a single
former champion had used the over
lapping grip, and this included some
very fine golfers.
There is always a noticeable dif
ference between the amateur and
the pro, and this is one point where
they differ. I will call attention to
other differences later. I don't be
lieve that the amateur gets all that
there is out of the game for this
reason.
It is surprising to note that two
very great amateurs have always
used something different in the way
of a grip. I refer to Francis Ouimet
and Jerry Travers.
Ouimet has a most peculiar grip,
one that I think might be changed
with profit to the Boston star. The
fault with Ouimet is in not knowing
what to do with his left thumb. He
has a sort of interlocking eriD that
is all right when his game is work-
i
BUGS.
Ing smoothly, but atl wrong When it
is not.
I think, too, that Jerry Travers
would have played a better gams
had he cultivated the overlapping
grip when it first came in. Jerry
puts bothhands on the shaft, as so
many amateurs do. The disadvan
tage of this style is in the fact that
the hands are likely to work In
opposite ways.
It may be all right to hold a base
ball bat in that way, but not a golt
club.
When taking hold of a golf club
the hands should become a part of
the shaft. If they are separated at
all this hinge effect is spoiled.
The idea has been expressed in
this manner: The club and arms
form one long shaft from the arm
pit down to the club head, with the
hands gripping tightly and the
wrists forming a hinge. If the hands
are not made to' act the hinge idea
is of no use whatsoever.
Those who use the overlapping
grip never have trouble with their
hands. The club is gripped in the
lingers instead of in the palm and
this accounts for the easy way in
which the left thumb lies in the
palm of the right hand.

STANFORD TRAINER GAINED
FAME AS ATHLETE.
Career in California Institution
Begun In 1902 and Strong
System Is Developed.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Palo
Alto, Cal., July 29. The recent
death here of "Dad" Moulton, trainer
of Stanford athletic teams since
1902, ended the career of a man
who was not only considered by
students and faculty as a unlver
sity institution, but also achieved
distinction himself as a runner in
early days, and in addition had the
reputation of having constructed
more tracks than any other man in
the country.
Edward W. Moulton was born in
St. Anthony Falls, Minn., now a part
of Minneapolis, in 1849, the second
white boy born in the place. .His
chief playmates were Indian chil
dren. When the civil war was at
its height he enlisted at the age of
15 and served through part of
Sherman's march to the sea. Later
he became a government scout and
engaged in many skirmishes with
the Indians during his work of
blazing a trail to Helena. Mont.
After'achieving considerable fame
as a frontier foot racer he began a
career as a professional runner in
which he-lost only four out of 306
contests- in which he entered.
Finally he became a trainer
entirely, at which he was so suc
cessful that he was known as
"maker of champions." He trained
Harry M. Johnson, once an Ameri
can cnampion in the sprints, and
developed Alvln Kraenzleih, the
notea Missouri hurdler who was the
first to practice the modern stvlo
of hurdling. James Maybury of the
University of Wisconsin was an
other champion sprinter of the late
'90s whom Moulton trained. Moul
ton also was a noted trainer of
bicycle racers when that pastime
was popular.
lie trained teams at various
eastern universities before Coming
to Biamora. Alter the regular
training season in 1906. 1907 and
1810 he coached the track teams at
Pacific and Willamette colleges in
Oregon and Santa Clara college, in
uaniorma.
He was the first to turn out
winning track team at Stanford and
helped bring into condition many of
the Cardinals' victorious football
teams. He was track coach at
btanford for 13 years and then
served five years more as an ath
letic trainer.
Moulton's greatest piece of con
struction was the track built for
the Panama-Pacific international
exposition In San Francisco. At the
time of his death he was in charge
oi me worK lor the new track in
the Stanford stadium. Among the
otner couege tracks he built were
tnose at Minnesota, Iowa State,
Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Wisconsin,
Manchester, England; Notre Dame
Willamette college and Pacific uni
versity at Portland, Or., besides
tracks for the Lewis and Clark ex
position m Portland and the Cen-
tennial celebration at Astoria, Or.
MASHiE INVENTOR STAR
FAMOUS ENGLISH PROFES
SIONAL TO VISIT AMERICA.
J. H. Taylor Called Remarkable
Golf Player1; Strong Wrists
v.-
Bring Success.
j , .
The . maehie as an implement of
golfing warfare owes its invention
and popularity to J. H. Taylor, bet
ter known as Jage, the famous Eng
lish professional, who will visit
America soon.
Taylor is the greatest mashie
player of all time. Endowed by na
ture with thick, powerful wrists, he
is able to put tremendous force into
his shots. He mostly adopts a shot
that comes down across the ball
with great firmness and crispness.
His mashie shots never attain any
great height, not by one-half that of
the ordinary player. With his splen
did wrist action he gets great back
spin on the ball, even with smooth
faced clubs.
Before .Taylor popularizes the
mashie, the lofter was the popular
club and the nearest approach to the
modern weapon. Other professionals
seeing Taylor's splendid play with
the club soon adopted it and made
the mashie popular in the game.
Jonathan Harry Taylor is one of
the four greats of British golf, shar
ing the honors with Harry Vardon,
James Braid and Ted Ray. He was
born in Northam, a stone's throw
from Westward Ho! which gave the
Warn family to golf.
As a boy Taylor caddied over the
Royal North Devon links and played
with other youngsters of his age. !
Then he left golf to become a gar
dener. But tending . flowers and
shrubs soon wearied him and he
went to Burnham in Somerset as
professional. In his first champion
ship venture he turned in the
astounding low score, for those days,
of 75 in bad weather. . In the follow
ing year, 1894. he won the open
championship at Sandwich.
He has won the British open
championship five times. Another
year he tied with Harry Vardon but
lost the play-off by five strokes in
two rounds.
Taylor is a man of medium height.
but has accumulated weight with
ears. He Is an exceptionally long
driver, but an accurate one. Tay
lor uses an exceptionally flat swing,
his powerful wrists giving him the
strength to put a vicious snap into
his swing. His general iron play
also is magnificent and he is one of
the finest cleek players in the world
today.
In addition, he is a remarkable
putter. Taylor puts great stress on
the advisability of keeping the left
elbow in line with the hole; His
work on the greens has been as re
markable as his iron work.
The coming tour will be Taylor's
second visit to the United States. He
came across in company with Harrv
Vardon in 1900 and finished second
in the national open, played at the
Chicago Golf club. Vardon won with
313 while Taylor was two strokes
behind.

SOUTHPAW GOLFING NOT IN
SAME CLASS, IS CLAIM.
Steve Dwan, Seattle Niblick Han
dler, Tells How He Switched
From Portside.
Does the right-handed golfer get
more of a kick out of his game than
the southpaw? Steve Dwan, Seattle
niblick handler, answers "Yes," and
Steve should know, for up until
recently he was one of the clan
who smacked the pellet with a port
side movement.
Dwan was no ordinary left-handed
dub golfer. He had won several
tournaments in Seattle in . eight
years of golf play, but about three
months ago he turned to bat right
handed. In another three months he
believes that he will be back to his
best portside results.
Here is Steve's own story of his
switch from left to right-handed
clubs:
"For the first time since I took
up the game I am obtaining rhythm
to my stroke and a timing to every
shot. My trouble with wood off the
tee is a tendency to slice, but when
I hit them right I get 60 yards more
than when I swung left-handed.
Even with the tee shots I miss I am
getting more of them away right
than I did before. I have at last
learned, too, that a ball can be hit
with a brassie. I never knew what
my southpaw brassie was for. I
thought, like the razors of our early
fourth readers, they were simply
made to sell.
"My success In golf was through
my short-pf-the-green game. In
side 80 yards I was down In three
on, 17 out of -18 holes. It is that
touch necessary for - the close-up
game that I haven't mastered yet
right-handed with any degree of
confidence. Putting isn't bad, but
the chip shots are not yet arrived.
"Since I have switched I ' have
taken part in three club competi
tions and I have lost every match.
But that only makes me grin.
"There is this about playing right
handed which I recommend to all
those who are yet struggling in the
darkness of wielding the cudgels
from the off-side: Tou'll never
know the joy of rhythm or how to
correct anything that goes wrong
with your stroke until you turn to
the road leading to the right. I
never found a golf professional
who could tell me what I was doing
wrong, for the pros don't know the
left-hander's game; don't speak his
language.
"I never knew the joys of golf
until I made the switch. I'm paying
dearly for my change, but I'm going
to get that money hack with interest
some day. I would not change back
to the old style."
" The only thing we can see might
happen if all the southpaws should
take Steve's advice and make the
grand change is that it might
throw some of the left-handed club
makers out of jobs, for, of course, it
must take a left-handed club maker
to make that kind of clubs.

Safe or Out?

Q. If the batted ball hits the foul
flag, is It fair or foul?
A. That seems to be a matter strictly
up to the vision of the umpire. If the
flag is flying In loul territory he should
be able to discern whether the ball has
crossed the foul line or not. The de

umpire last saw the ball.
Q. Runner on first base. Batter hit
to shortstop who threw to first, retiring
the batter. First baseman threw to sec
ond but the second baseman did not get
the ball in time to tag the runner. Was
he out?
A The runner was not out if he was
not tagged out. The force play was
killed when the batter was thrown out
at first base.
Q. Runner on second base. Batter
bits a long single to left and the ball is
thrown to second because the batter is
trying to make two bases. Batter runs
out in a circle about seven feet wide of
second base. Umpire calls him safe.
Was that right?
A. If the umpire decided that the
player had not run out of line to avoid
being touched out his decision was per
fectly proper and that seems to have
been what the umpire thought.
Q. Runner on third base. Opposing
pitcher delivers the ball. Catcher steps
in front of the batter and catches the
ball and tags the runner out. Was there
interference?
A. There seems to have been. The
batter should have been sent to first
bane and the runner permitted to score.

HAWAIIAN'S ARE EXPECTED
TO CONFER HONOR.
Retirement of President Center
Makes Mrs. Fullard-Leo Live
Compromise Candidate.
HONOLULU. T. H., July 29.
(Special.)-Hawaii yet may boast
of the honor of having the
first woman president of an
amateur athletic union. The an
nual meeting of the Hawaiian
Amateur Athletic union comes early
in September, and at that meeting
George ("Dad") Center, president
for the last two terms, is expected
to resign and to withdraw himself
from the ranks of active director
ship of amateur athletics. He has
been offered the position of swim
ming coach at the Punahou acad
emy, one of the oldest and most ex
clusive private schools under the
American flag, and undoubtedly one
of the wealthiest. Punahou at one
time was the school to which
wealthy Californians and Chileans
sent their children for education
prior to the transcontinental rail
roads. The chances of Mrs. E. Fullard-
Leo, at present secretary-treasurer
of the Hawaiian Amateur Athletic
union, becoming president at the
next election are excellent, provided
that Center retires. The union board
of managers Is divided over two
possible candidates William T.
Rawlings of the Hul Nalu and D. L.
Conkllng of the Hui Makanl. Raw
lings Is a prominent local attorney
and was president of the union in
previous years, while Conkllng is
treasurer of the city and county of
Honolulu. The compromise candi
date is expected to be Mrs. Fullard
Leo. Alumni Help College Sports.
It Is Interesting to note that the
universities and colleges which
boast the most paid-up alumni assot
piation members are among the
country's most successful sporting
exponents. Leland Stanford and
Iowa State lead the list with at least
half of their graduates active in
alumni circles. Other colleges which
boast a high percentage of loyalty
from their former proteges are Ohio
State, Penn State, California, Co
lumbia, Illinois and Rutgers.
