Paramount Importance of Annual
Livestock Feature Held to
Be Firmly Established.
Several business firms of Portland
have made it possible foMhe post
ing of teven $1000 Rtakes foi win
ners at the night horse show -held
at the' Pacific International Live
stock exposition. . For some time A.
P. Fleming, manager of the; show,
has been working on the plan of
guaranteed stakes. The response
has been Bratifyingri The firms au
thorizing the stakes and the stakes
themselves are as follows:
Benson hotel. $1000 stake, five
l?aited horses; Portland hotel. JI000
stake, heavy harness, hljrh-stepping
horses; Multnomah hotel. $1000
stake, lig-ht harness roadsters; Im

000 stake, three-waited horses.
Mr. Fleming: Congratulated.
K. A. Stuart, president of the Car
nation Products company of Seattle
and also president of the Pacific
International Livestock exposition,
has written to Mr. Fleming and con
gratulated him on his success.
"It shows that the value of the
horse show to Portland is fully ap
preciated by the business men. of
Portland." he wrote. "These busi
ness establishments are of the type
that make great cities known. They
are far-sighted and endowed with
common sense. I feel that I can
speak for the 7000 stockholders of
the Pacific International when I say
that they appreciate the spirit
shown by these seven great , busi
ness enterprises. I think that the
public should also know and appre
ciate the liberality that they have
shown, and I have no doubt it will.
Manager Fleming says that it will
he difficult to overestimate the 1m
portance attaching to these gener
ous awards. "It means." he said
"that the paramount importance of
our night horse show is established
and its reputation is made. It is
the only show in the United States
so far as I know, which offers seven
$1000 stakes, and if there was ever
before a- $1000 stake offered for
driving competition anywhere in the
world it is not on record.
"It makes possible (or the Pacific
international horse show a premium
list of more than $16,000 cash pre
miums, which will equal or surpass
any horse show in America so far
as average for number of classes is
concerned. . Isn't that enough to
make Portland proud?
Jeweler Show Appreciation.
"The jewelers of, the city have
also shown their appreciation of the
liorse show with offers of handsome
trophies. Jaeger Bros, gave a tro
phy for the champion hunter, A. &
C. Feldheimer a trophy for the
champion three-gaited horse. Sta
ples the Jeweler a trophy for cham
pion heavy harness horse. Fried
lander for the champion five-gaited
horse, and there will be others an
nounced later. The first and second
stake winners will be champions
and reserve champions of the show.
"Such a vote of confidence as has
been given the horse show by these
stakes is proof to me that it has
become the leading annual society
event of Portland and the Pacific
slope and will compare most favor
ably with any horse show anywhere
in the world.
"Last fall the horse show was
held six nights and three matinees.
Every performance was crowded to
the limit, and the management ex
pects greater crowds this fall and
is making arrangements to accom
modate them. Rivalry among ex
hibitors and horse lovers has in
creased until fabulous prices are
being paid for horses to exhibit at
the coming show, running as high
as $5000 and $6000 a head. When a
good sport has plenty of money and
gets into the show horse game his
anxiety to win over his competitors
makes a high-class entertainment
for the spectators. This is the case
for the coming show."
The night horse show of the Pa
cific International Livestock expo
sition will be held every night from
November 6 to November 11. with
matinees the afternoons of Novem
ber 9, 10 and 11.

I . sociated . Press.) "The Grand
birthday Tuesday.
He is Charles Albert Comiskey,
president and owner of the Chicago
White Sox. and one of the greatest
men in baseball. Builder of what
was considered in years gone by
one of the greatest baseball clubs in
professional ranks, Mr. Comiskey,
after wrecking his machine follow
ing the world series disclosures of
1919, today sees his reconstructed
team again fighting in the first di
vision.
Picked by experts from coast to
coast this year as a poor second
division club, the White Sox have
provided one of the greatest sur
prises of the season. The club,
after getting away to a poor start,
suddenly started its climb toward
the top of the league, and on June
16 the White Sox were intrenched
in third place. The club recently
went into a batting slump but
again has struck its stride.
Severn Star Plajerm Discarded.
Mr. Comiskey upset the baseball
world in the fall of 1920. when he
wrecked his baseball club, follow
ing disclosures of throwing the 191J
world's series games to the Cincin
natl club. At that time the Old
Roman suspended seven of his star
players Jackson, Cicotte, Williams,
Felsch, Weaver, Kisberg and Mc
Mulliu thereby wrecking the club
to the extent of $1,000,000 or more.
Not discouraged by the terrible
loss. Mr. Comiskey set about at -once
to build another -baseball club. He
tried to buy star players from other
clubs in his league, but with little
success. He sent scouts to all
parts of the country and gathered
every promising player he ceuld
into the fold.
One of his moves was the acquisi
tion of the entire infield of the
Salt Lake City club of the Pacific
Coast league, with the exception of
the second baseman. These were
Ernie Johnson, Eddie Mulligan and
Earl Sheely. They fitted in well
with Eddie Collins, captain of the
White Sox, who was one of the
players who remained loyal to the
Old Roman. This year, the club is
virtually the same as last season,
with the exception that a few
promising young pitchers haye been
added to the roster.
100,000 Paid for Willie Kamm.
Recently Mr. Comiskey startled
the baseball world with the an
nouncement that he had bought
Willie Kamm, sensational third
baseman of the San Francisco club,
for $100,000. Kamm will report in
1923.
"Commy" was born August 15,
1S58. He played ball when he was
17 years of age. He at one time
was a pitcher, for the Elgin. Ill
club: later he played third base and
first base, but as a first baseman he
had no superior in bis day. He is
the only pitcher who has risen from
the ranks to be sole owner of a
major league ball club
began in 1878 with the Dubuque;
la., team. In 1882 he joined the St.
Old Roman" celebrated his 64th j Louis Browns, then in the American
asaucmuuu, ana in 1883 n e .was
made manager of the team. In
1885-1886 the Browns, with Co
miskey at the helm, defeated th
Chicago White Stockings for the
cnampionsnip of the world.
Comiskey remained with St. Louis
untu 1880. when he took charge of
the Players' League club in Chicago.
He returned to St. Louis In 1891 and
in 1892 went to Cincinnati, where he
managed the Reds until 1896. Dur
ing that period in Cincinnati he met
Ban B. Johnson, a newspaper man,
and the two became fast friends.
In 1S95 "Commy" placed a Western
league team in St. Paul and in 1900
he transferred the franchise to Chi
cago, where, with the aid of Mr
Johnson, the Western league was
expanded and became known as
the American league with Mr. John
son at Its head.
Under Mr. Comiskey's ownership
the Chicago White Sox, as his team
became known, has won two world's
championships, lost pne and an
nexed five American league cham
pionships. In the winter of 1913-1914 tio InH
Manager John McGraw of the New
York Giants financed a tour around
the world witfi a large number of
ball players, playing the national
pastime in Australia, Japan, in
Manila and London, where King

Rugs or Chairs Would Be Much
Better Says Writer.
An old question has bobbed up
again. Why do they give medals at
track meets?
Joe Stout, former University of
Chicago star mtler,- brings it up and
wants to know what one is supposed
tu do with them and if no one can
advance a use, why not give some
thing practical? - .
"Why not a sofa or Morris chair?"
he asks. "Right now I am badlv in
need of a pair of cuff links.: Yet I
stand a fat chance of getting. any
by running this summer. .
"I'll pull down the usual line of
cups and medals which, added to
those I have already won, will clut
ter up the house to a terrible extent.
"Now, if a rug were offered in
place of a fine cup the wear for
the next ten years would be on it
and not on the nerves of the family."

Canadian Woodsman Picturesque
Character Who Won Renown
- " for Fistic Prowess.
BY SPARROW M'GANN.
Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonian.
NEW YORK. Aug. 19 Who is
this EMziar Rioux. the Canadan
woodsman whom Jack Dempsey
recently 'met' in a four-round bout in
Montreal and thereafter sang the
praises of the young giant's ability
to absorh the best wallops that the
champion could hand out? " .
Well, all that may be said at pres
ent is that he is Eliziar Rioux of the
North woods, a fit character already
for novel or film drama, a great,
bronzed, . two-fisted French Cana
dian, who has aevastated the lumber
camps where abide men proud of
their prowess as mixers.
His .initial appearance outdoes or
at least rivals any film conception
of the camps of the big woods,
where axemen, once their labors are
done, disport themselves after the
rough and rugged manner' of their
kind. To one camp in the province
of Quebec, on the banks of a stream
that flows into the St. Maurice,
there came one evening a giant
named Rioux. ' who sat about the
cabin fire while a camp bully dis
played Tiis physical strength by
picking, up his mates from a lying
position and swinging them like
babfis to their feet.
Roux Fights Camp.
At length trying his stunt upon
Rioux. he. to his surprise, failed to
lift the newcomer.' In turn, Rioux
picked up the bully and swung him
around. , Then the fight began. It
was a real fight, Rioux against the
camp.
In the end according to the story.
Rioux was the only man in the
party who held possession of the
place. Word of the battle flew
among the lumber camps and finally
reached Montreal, where lives Dr.
J. H. Gadbois, who Is superintend
ent of public amusements in 'that
city.
Dr. Gadbois searched the lumber
camps for Rioux, but at length
found him, in his home town, Trois
Pistolee', county (of Temisconata.
For years the physician had been
seeking a Canadian who might give
promise of developing into a great
heavyweight prizefighter. But ' of
all the men he had met Rioux more
nearly matched up to. his conception
of what a potential champion should
possess.
Boxing- Gloves Are Denied.
Boxing gloves were denied him,
and it was Dr. Gadbois' plan not to
let him don the mitts for a period
of six months. That period of trial
elapsed last- month and then, true
to his determination, the physician
began to put his pupil through a
course of lessons in boxing.
Dr. Gadbois requested that Demp
sey put on the gloves with the Cana
dian and spare no punishment
through four rounds. What the
mentor wished to do was to test the
heart of the man. And " Rioux
wishea himself tested. The two
went at it hammer-and-tongs and
at the end of the four rounds Rioux.
while dazed and somewhat shaky,
was still on his feet and willing to
take mpre.
"A coming champion," said Jack.
Dr. Gadbois believes this himself.
Rioux must still learn a lot about
the art of hit. stop and get away,
but he has all the physical and
mental qualifications. Keep your
eye on Rioux.

3 FRISCO CASTERS
PORTLAND'S TEAM NEAREST
COMPETITOR.
M. V. Conlee Captures Light
Tactile Distance Fly Adverse
AVeather Is Encountered.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-(Spe-cial.)
The second day of the tour
ney of the Western Association of
Scientific Angling clubs proved that
the San Francisco teams are in the
running, and then some, with three
of the four events being captured by
local sportsmen.
Portland's team is nearest compet- j
nor with three wins to its creait.
Today's events were just suited to
canters from the San Francisco club,
and with the exception of the light
tackle distance fly, won by M. V.
Conlee of Portland, had the day very
much to themselves.
Adverse weather conditions pre
vailed, however, and the dependable
strong winds for the heavy casting
were lacking.
Dr. E. C. McFarland and Marvin K.
Hedge, of the Portland team, did not
make as good a showing as they had
on the opening day of the tourna
ment. Hedge was taken ill, while
the doctor's forte lay in other events.
The casting was marked- by a
number of ties, particularly so in
the 4-ounce ba-it, when three mem
bers qualified for third place with a
percentage-of 97.9. The cast-off In
this event was won by B. B. Farr of
San Francisco.
In the delicacy and accuracy fly
casting, won by H. A. Thomsen Jr.,
T. C. Kieurlff and L. F. Guerin tied
for second. Kierulff won the cast-
off and Guerin was awarded third
prize.
In the heavy tackle distance fly
Kierulff and Guerin again tied, this
time-for third, Aith Kierulff gaining
the cast-off.
The results for the day's casting
were:
First event, one-fourth ounce accuracy
bait Won by M. V. Conlee. Portland,
9S.6 per cent; second. C. H. Kewell. San
Francisco, 8.2 per cent; third. B. B.
Farr. San Francisco, 97.3 per cent.
Second event, delicacy and accuracy
fly- Won by H. A. Thomsen Jr.. San
Francisco, 98 7-15; second, T. C. Kierulff,
San Francisco, 98 4-15; third. L. G. Guer
in, San Francisco, 93 2-15.
Third event, heavy tackle distance fly
Won by Stanley Forbes-. San Francisco.
118 feet; second. H. A. Thomsen Jr.. San
Francisco. 104 feet; third, T. C. Kierulff,
San Francisco, 103 feet.
Fourth event, salmon distance fly
Won by I. F. Guerin, San Francisco, 115
feet; second, H. A, Thomsen. San Fran
cisco, 111 feet; third, C. H. Kewell, San
Francisco. 104 feet.
The tournament at Stowe lake will end
tomorrow when the usual events of the
dsy will be run with additional cast
offs for qualified places.
GOLFERS In America have had
the pleasure of watching the
work of J. H. Taylor and Sandy
Herd this summer, as welt as that of
the old favorites, Mitchell and Dun
can, who. were with us .ast season
for an extended tour.
Taylor needs no introduction to
American golfers. As a five-time
winner of the British open and nu
merous other events abroad he has
accomplished a life-time work on
.the links. ' .
Now past 50, the veteran's game
today stands up with the best, al
though he has shown a weakness
over a long route, due to the strain
nf nlav dav after day. Age tells in
any athletic game and Taylor, like
Vardon and araia, is not as young
as he used to be. However, bis play
ing in the British championship last
June was a revelation. Veterans
cannot stand too strenuous a cam
paign on the links, especially In hot
weather. It was this fact that made
the managers of Taylor and Herd
cut their tour to about half the
games played by the other British
I-air.
We may not see Taylor scoring at
his beat while here for many rea
sons, but there is a great opportun
ity to study a style a fctyle of play
distinctive from that of most of the
big stars.
Taylor has what is known in golf
as a rather flat swing. This means
that the club comes more around
the body than In the case of a great
many stars. There was only one
player who had a swing any flatter
than that of Taylor's and this was
little Johnnie McDermvtt, who has
dropped out'of tournament play on
account of illness. Johnnie was a
great golfer, one of the best ever
turned out by America. " -
Man stars use a flat swing In
preference to the upright for many
reasons. McDermott is a smalt man
and never could have obtained great
leverage without the club's coming
more around his body. A flat swing
permits the player to use a longer
club- and the ball hit with a long
club usually obtains more roll. "as
the clubhead, going into the ball
from the near side of the line of
flight, produces a hook. The ball
with a little pull or hook always is
a long roller.
Taylor's Famous Back Spin.
Taylor has a reputation as a very
satisfactory driver, inasmuch as he
sacrifices some of his length for
direction. He has also had an, en
viable reputation as a wind; player,
and he showed the field at Sand
wich this summer In the British
open that he had not fcrgotten the
art of keeping a ball low in a gale.
' Nine out of ten of the best golfers
fail on their long second shots.
Walter Hagen is the daddy of them
all in this respect, as hi& long iron
shot unquestionably has won cham
pionships for him.
Taylor, hardly could hope to com
pete with the best of the young
stars in this country in this respect
and if he is not scoring well it is
principally due to this fact. Taylor!
was famous years ago for using the'
niashie and his work with this club
stood out over that of any of the
great stars abroad. He has Influ
enced many young players.
Reports of how Taylor the great
could handle a mashie in champion
ships has Influenced my own game
quite a bit. I always was interested
in back-spin .and spent much time
trying to - perfect a pitch to the
green that would resemble that of
Taylor.
J. H. was an adept at the art and
has many followers who do not re
gret trailing in his footsteps. - His
pitch of the old days was madewith
a very smooth-faced club, but -this
did not prevent him from putting a
lot of cut on the ball .in a making it
drop dead when it landed on the
green. When Taylor is going well
his work with th mashie is won
derful. With Taylor as a side partner is
Sandy Herd, a famous pro in Great
Britain, although he has not the
record on the' links that Vardon.
Taylor or Braid enjoy. Herd Is a
Scotchman, like Braid, the other two
being English. '
Sandy Takes His Time.
Much can be learned fvom Sandy's
style. He is not a long drirer, but.
usually very accurate, which counts
in medal play. This was responsible
lor his great showing 'ast year and
the year before in the British open.
Herd's driving is a little shorter
than it was last year, which leaves
him much to make up. His direction,
however, stands him well.
At the tee he is especially Inter
esting to watch, for he tees not,be
lieve in hurrying the ohot. In that
he is in contrast to George Duncan,
regarded as the fastest player in the
game. Herd takes a deliberate
otance and takes his time getting a
line on. the hole. All the time he is
waggling his club while settling
himself in a comfortable position.
. There is no outstanding weakness
in the play of this famous Scot. Had
he years of play before him instead
of behind him he would be a dan
gerous contender in 9.riy champion
ship. He has for many years on th;
other side stood shoulder to shoulder
with the best of them.
Experience In golf cct'nts much,
but the game is chang'.-'g. The youtn
has stepped in to compet; with th
veteraa and the veteran has been
forced back in distr'.outing the
laurel wreaths. Had John Black at
Skokie won the title it would have
been a great victory for the golfer
p.ist 40 Black, I understand, is 42.
But Black fell short of the mark.
The ' victory in our cwn open
championship usually goes to the
player who has not accumulated
years of experience. Usually it
goes to the man under 25. Hagen.
Sarazen and Oulmet each won an
open while in his 21st year. Little
Johnnhs McDermott was not far
from this age. Freddie McLeod and
Chick Evans were 26 and Jerry

Willie Anderson, who. took four big
titles, won them all while under 30
years of age. As in other games of
skill and endurance . youth cannot
be- denied on the links.

The final major golf attraction of
the season in the United States will
be held at the Country club. Brook
line. Mass., where the 1322 national
amateur championship will be de
cided September 2 to 9. It will be
the -second time the national ama
teur has been held" at - Brookline,
which is about' five miles from the
center of Boston. - '
In 1910 the championship was de
cided on the Brookline course, which
also was the gathering place for
those striving for honors in the
national open in 1913. . Players who
competed In those two tournaments
will find a decided change in the
course this. year, according to in
formation contained in tthe: pro
gramme sent out by the tournament
committee-at Brookline.' '
t Coume Severely Trapped.
The course is not only longer now,
but is more severely trapped. The
order of playing the holes also has
been changed. Following is a hole-by-hole
description of the course; '
' No. 1, 440 yards, par 4 Ptay Is across
a flat pulo field with wide fairway.
Wide track approximately 0 yards from
tne middle of the green must be carried
on the second shot. Likely to be two
lull woods if the ground is soft. Best
position for the drive is to the He-nt If
the pin Is on. the left-hand portion of trie
green; to the left if It is on the right
hand portion, and in the center if the pin
is in the center. Mounds and a tree
as hazards for long second to right of
grei-n ; traps and rough to left and In
tlie rear of green.
No. 2. 305 yards, par 4- Green might
possibly be carried with a tremendously
long and high ball witb a following wind.
but with mounds and traps to be carried
close to the green. Best position for
drive is over left edge "of trap, located
in center, about 175 yards from tee. Long
ball leaves a short pitch. Shorter drive
means traps to be carr-U'd. with possibility
of going over into a blind trap at real
left corner of green. Another trap,
further back of the green, catches strong,
iy overplayed approach. Long grass to
left of fairway for pulled drives, also
leaving difficult approach over guarding
traps and mounds.
No. 3, 4o5 yards, par 4 Choice of po
sitions for drive.. Long, straight ball
down loft center of fairway gives a view
of green for second shot, but might be
spoiled by going too far and going over
the plateau, leaving a hanging lie as well
as making a second shot a trifle, more
difficult because of the slope of the
green. Long tee shot more to the right
leaves a blind second, but cuts down the
distance and leaves a Jigger or long
mashie from the easier angle of ap
proachinga this green. Bunkers and
trouble for. pulled or sliced tee shots
nd a difficult second after a short drive
because nf bunkers to the left, mounds
to the right of the green and also a ditch.
No. 4. 300 yards, par 4 No trouble
for a badly-hooked or sliced drive. ios
sibiltty of driving too far and bringing up
in long bunker across the fairway Jusl
short of green.
No. 5. 420 yards, par 4 A stiff par 4
when' the ground Is soft and ,ball gets
little or no roll. Bad place to top a tee
.shot. Second shot may be anything
from a jigger to full. wood. Wide bunker
in middle of fairway, high bankrd at
back, for topped or low second. Series
of bunkers and mounds, as well as long
grass, to left of green, close up. Wild
second might be aliced out of bounds.
Une of the most difficult second shots
on the course. The long driver, pro
vided the pin is in the center of the
green, will have a slightly easier shot
If he is to the left. The short driver
will gain .considerable distance by hugging
fairly close to the trees on the right.
No. 6, 285 yards, par 4 Might possibly
be driven, but uphill, and three deep and
troublesome traps Jutting Into green to
be carried. Narrow fairway. Rough on
either side and three pot bunkers at
right edge of fairway. Delicate pitch for
second, especially when cup is near front
of green. Ground for a foot or so beyond
bunkers guarding green slopes toward
them.
No. 7, 200 yards, par 3 Series of traps
to left: chocolate drops at left near cor
ner and long right edge of greeni Long
green, narrowing at further end. Liable
to be played with anything frdm a jigger
to spoon, according to. wind direction ana
individual preference as to character of
shot. High midiron or driving Iron
probably as good choice as any.
No. 8, 38a yards, par 4 urive piaceo
to the left leaves open path for ap
proach, but with danger of pulling Into
traps or fringe of woods. Drive of only
moderate length might also get a bad
kick to left off embankments. Deep
bunkers for drive too far to right and
rjossibllitv of downhill lie for a ball
straight down the middle, unless long
enough to clear all the elevations- and
hollows. Drive to right leaves series of
mounds and bunkers to be carried on
second. Deep pit to right corner of
green and another near ft. Bunker
length of green at lft edge and pot
bunker In back of green. Good drive to
left leaves comparatively easy mashie
second. Green on an elevation, however,
making approach a little blind and ten
dency is to be somewhat short on second.
No. 9. 440 yards, par 4 Bunkers to left
and right for drives off the line, those
on right deep and more liable to be
costly." Elevation in middle of fairway
to kill distance on a drive bit to the
right which has not sufficient carry. Sec
ond shot apt to be anything from a mashie
to wood, to a blind green at base of sharp
slope -of about a dozen feets Over-approach
finds rteep embankment and long
grass, but general tendency is not to hit
the second shot hard enough. Pot bunk
ers to right of green and cross bunker,
high banked, for topped second.
No. 10. 82S yards, par 4 On this hole
individual Judgment will come Into play
on the tee shot. Even up to 300 yards
Is perfectly safe, provided It has -the
proper direction, that is. to the Jeft cen
ter of the fairway. A long tee shot on
the line of the flag or slightly to the
right will Invite catastrophe in yawn
ing gulch, while to be. too far off to the
left is to get Into the rough or perhaps
bring up In a trap. Tt is evident, there
fore, that the long hitter rias practically
nothing left if he can place his fee shot,
although, of course, the safe way to ptay
the hole is to drive down the center wllh
S shot of more moderate distance.
No. It. SIS yard, par 5 This Is
long hole of the course; a constant temp
tation and frequently a snare for the am
bitious long hitters, for whom there is
rare satisfaction in getting home In (wo
shots. For the man who can rover 515
yards In two shots whirh are practically
all carry, it is a particularly satlsfaotorv
hole. The beauty of the hole, so far as
getting home In two Is concerned. Is that
the te shot hss to be placed, rm -well as
being extremely 1 long.. Approximately
250 , yards from the tee, at n somewhat
lower elevation, is a cliff with a nlrejy
turfed slope and It is upon this sloped
none too expansive that the tee shot
must almost of necessity land to make it
worthy of the effort to get home wltti-fuM
wood. A long ball to the left of this
cliff will get more run and be nenrer
the green, perhaps, but the different-- In
altitude, plus the probability of a down
hill lie. makes it practically impossible
to get home from that point. The great
majority of amateurs need not riiiu-em
themselves, however, with thoughts of
getting home In two. They will find
trouble in plenty in th-3 rough to right or
left, or In woods and rocks on tee shots
badly off the line. They will find. loo.
that on a tee shot of ohly moderate dis
tance it Is a considerable carry across
a brook that intersects the fairway. In
the face of the hill on which the green
is located Is a series of traps and mounds,
with more traps to the left and bu-.-k of '
the .green.
1 No. 12. 140 yards, par' 3 From an ele
vated tee to what Is almost an island
green, wtth a ditch In front and other
troubles for a ball off the edge. Green
divided by a ridge wnich makes putting
none too simple for a ball on wrong side
... .1
" s ..
No. 13, R80 yards, par 4 Good drive
almost essential, because green 'is closely
and severely guarded. Across the fair
way in front of the green, and close to
it. is a wide and high-backed bunker to
be carried; to the left are two more
bunkers and to the right, chocolate drops,
rough and traps. The proper position
for a tee shot is o the right center of
the fairway, fur from this position the
hole is opened up and it requires a
shorter carry than would be the cas" if
the tee shot were plsced more to the left.
A fairly long ball down the left center,
or center means a light Iron to get
home, but a moderate drive probably
means wood, for the second shot is alv
carry. Out of bounds for a badly hooked
tee shot and bad trouble for a slice. A
380-yard hole that is sure to appeal to
every real golfer.
No. 14. 480 yards, par 5 Quite within
two-shot range of many who will play in
the . national, partly because of the tee
elevation, but a hole where comparatively
few will be actually oh the gret-n In two.
unless the ground Is hard and the ball
gets a good roll on the tee shot. First
of all. the drive mut be accurate. A
480-yard hole la Just the length to breed
the desire for a little extra dlst.-mee o'f
the tee, to simplify the second shot, and
to press off this tee Is to court the danger
of out of bounds on the left or rough on
the right, or the "quarry" for a topped
drive. The Ideal drive hugs the fairway
to the left, thus opening up the green,
which is guarded on the right by a series
of close-up mounds. Second shots to the
right of these mounds means a delicate
pitch. Well to the right are two trsps;
there is another to the left for a hooked
second not home anil one to the left of
the green Itself. As a two-shot hole It
has u blind second, anil frequently a
blind third, if the drive is off the fair
way. No. 13. 373 yards, par 4 Half topped
drive will catch elevation near the tee.
re. Ji.n4nn ..- .lik.nHtilni,. -lint im
well to the left, with accompanying
danger of finding the rough or getting
under the branches of trees. Rough to
right ami series of deep bunkers to be
carried near the green.'
No. IB, 110 yards, per 3 llrefn well
guarded nn all sides. Possible to get out
of bounds beyond green.
No. t7. 300 yards, pur 4 Slight elbow
to the left, with a chance to cut off a
number of yards by cutting the corner
thereby leaving an easy pitch. At the
corner, however, requiring a good carry,
are two bunkers, one of which was ex
tremely costly to Harry Vardon in the
national open of 1013. The grass to the
left of the fairway is heavy. The safe
shot Is straight out the middle; a long
ball too much to the right brings up In
the rough. The green Is well guarded In
front and also has mounds to the right
and a trap at the rear right corner.
No. 18. 400 yards, par 4 (iood drive,
fairly straight, leaves second shut that
must carry racetrack and -a seven-foot
embankment that Is part -of gr.en. In
other words, 400 yards In two hots, the
second of which mut land practically
dead. The drive, therefore. Is most
Important, for to be In the rough on
either side i to leave a difficult second
