NEW GOLF COURSE AT
GEARHART VflLL BE
ONE OF VERY FINEST
During 1914 Season Tempo

Be Provided at Beach.
SPECIAL GRASS SEEDS
WILL BE PLANTED OUT
Length of the Course Will Be
6100 Yards; Distance
From Tees.
Oregon can boast of a golf course
that resembles the courses of England
and Scotland, when the new 18 hole
course at uearhart is completed, run
course when completed will be one of
the finest. If not the finest, on the Pa
clflo coast. It is full of natural has-
aards and the turf Is springy.
The course as pictured in the above
photograph will not .be completed un
til 1116, but during the 1914 season,
temporary 18 hole course will be
made so that the golfers spending the
summer at (Jearhart will not hare to
content themselves by playing on the
Old nine hole course.
Special grass seed will be planted on
the course before the opening of the
1914 season and after the close of the
coming season. In 1916 this course
will rival any on the Pacific coast for
Springy turf. Matches can be played
.on this course 10 minutes after a hard
rainfall, because of the sandy soli
The length of the course will be
100 yards. The longest hole will be
the sixteenth one, which is a distance
of 670 yards from the tee. There will
be several other long holes with dis
tances varying from 400 to 600 yards.
, The distances from the tees to the
holes are:
1416 yards; 2 S20 yards; 3140
yards; 4350 yards; 6 406 yards; 8
S6 yards; 7 376 yards; 8516 yards;
4 JO yards; 10250 yards; 11 426
yards; 12 12S yards; 13 490 yards;
14165 yards; 15300 yards; 16 570
yards; 17 350 yards: 18 250 yards.
Qplf experts, who have walked over
the course, state that it is the most
natural course on the Pacific coast
and will undoubtedly be very popular
during the golf Reason. I,awt year the
course was crowded with players and
the appeal for a larger course was so
great that the Gearhart people decided
to. Install the 18 hole course.
An effort will he made during the
holding of the Pacific northwest cham
pionship tournament In Seattle this
year to secure the 1915 tournament for
Uearhart. If thin tournament can be
secured, a large number of easterners,
who Intend to play In the tournament
during the Panama-Pacific exposition
in Kan Franrlaco, will undoubtedly en
ter the northwestern tournament.
As soon as arrangements can be
made George Turnbull. the professional
player of the. Waverly Golf club, or
Portland, will lay out the course, ac-
cording to the above diagram, which
was made from a sketch made by
Turnbull.

SHARPE LEADING POINT
MAKER FOR QUINTET AT
Fast Forward Scored 75
Points; Captain Masters
Takes Second Place.
Clayton Sharpe, the fast forward of
the Multnomah club basketball cham
pions of the northwest, was the lead
ing point maker of the winged "M"
quintet during the 1914 season. Sharpe
scored 75 points, a little more than
one-third of the points scored by the
team. He scored 24 field baskets and
27 free throws. Captain Masters was
the second high point getter, with a
total of 59 to his credit.
The club team was very successful
during the year, having lost but one
game, and that was to a quintet that
It defeated later. The winged "M"
team defeated the University of Ore
gon tossers two times, the Willamette
University team, twice, the Weonas
twice, the United States Bank once, the
Columbia University once and the Ore
gon Agricultural team once. Its only
loss was to the O. A. C. team.
Manager Harry Fischer was much
pleased with the showing made by his
players during the season and was
confident of a victory over the Univer
sity of Washington quintet, had the
game scheduled with that team been
played.

. Coming to America,
William Walter Naughton who died
at his home Jo San Francisco March 10
was the dean of Anmrirui
writers and a standard authority on all
matters pertaining to pugilism.
no was born In Auckland, N. Z..
July 31. 1854. and was a man nf larra
physique. Early in life he leared the
pnnier s trade securing his first em
ployment "at the case" in the com
posing room of the New Zealand Her
ald. He soon acquired a reputation
as a writer of clever verse and para
graphs. In the field of sports he gained
a reputation as a boxer, runner, oars
man, swimmer and rifle shot.
In 1886 he left his native country
and came to San Francisco Joining the
reportorial staff of the San Francisco
Chronicle, a few days after bis arri
val he wrote an account of a Fourth
of July celebration that attracted wide
attention. Before the days of the type
writer Mr. Naughton became known
as a man who could turn out copy
faster than any man on the coast.
Talent for writing "Sports."
In J887 the reporting by Mr. Naugh
ton of the old bay district tract horse
races and the Sullivan-Ryan and
Burke-Dempsey prize fights showed
tbt he had a marked talent for that
line of work and he gradually drifted
into the specialty of writing "sports."
While on a flying visit to Australia
and New Zealand in the latter part
of 1887 he arranged to supply Ameri
can sporting newg to Australian pa
pers, notably to the Sydney Referee, a
connection that he kept up through
life.
On his return to San Francisco Mr.
Naughton joined the staff of the San
Francisco Examiner and from that
time on was Identified with the Hearst
syndicate of papers.
He introduced Peter Jackson, the
Australian heavyweight, into Ameri- j
can and European fistlana and in 1889
went to England where he was royany
entertained by .leading sportsmen.
Showed sis Versatility.
While In England he wrote for
American papers a spirited account
of the great rowing match on the
Thames between Searle, the Australian,
and O'Connor, the Canadian, for the
world's championship.
A noteworthy piece of work by Mr.
Naughton outside of his sporting de
scriptions and showing his versatility
was his report of the hauling down of
the American flag at Honolulu in 1893
on the order of United States Com
missioner Blount under direction of
President Cleveland. Mr. Naughton's
account' was so lively and convincing
that it aroused great interest.
In the old days of bare knuckle
fighting and when rings had to be
pitched by stealth in remote places,
Mr. Naughton described the battles
John L: Sullivan and Jake Kilraln in
Mississippi and of Sullivan and Charlie
Mitchell in Florida. Since the com
ing in of the padded glove and the
Marquis of Queensberry rules there
has hardly been a . championship con
test in the United States that Mr.
Naughton was not at the ringside writ
ing his widely read descriptions.
Take Tight Was Exposed,
He saw the rise and fall of Corbet t
and Fitzslmmons and it was he who
so convincingly exposed the Jeffries
Fitzsimmons fake in San Francisco In
1902.
His book, "Kings of the Queensberry
Realm," is in every sporting library
and will long remain as an authority
in pugilist!' history.
In private lire Mr. Naughton was a
genial man and a good companion.
In 1895 he married Miss Annabelle
Laurie by whom he Is survived to
gether with a son and a daughter.
At the time of his death Mr. Naugh
ton was president of the San Francisco
Press club.
"Birdie" Cree, formerly of th.:
Yankees, has signed "with the Balti
more Orioles. This is the first time
the Orioles have had a real "birdie" ir.
the line-up.
George Mullln and "Cy" Falkenber?
former American league twiners, were
t;ie first members of the Indianapollj
Federal league team to make their get
away for the spring training camp.
Others will probably take a chance
on the globe-girdling game, now that
it is reported that $100,000 in profits
is to be divided among the promoters
of the Giants-White Sox tour.
Larry Lajoie's pet ambition is to
play on a championship team before he
retires from the game. If Larry has to
play with the Naplanders to realize hi,
ambition, he is likely to die in harness.
Catcher "Peaches" Graham is still on
the move. Three years -ago "Peaches'
was rated as one of the star backstops
in the big snow. Then the Braves
traded him to Chicago, and Chicago
shipped him to Torontp. Now he has
been sold to the Wichita Western
league club.
Twenty-five players are on the ros
ter of the South Portland Colts. Man

in Florida several weeks by the illness
