It will cost more than $1,600,000. When-the project, known as Lido and named after a famous Italian resort near Venice, Is completed, with a hotel, casino and bathing pavilion, the resort will repre sent an actual cash investment of more than $3,500,000. ENGLISH OFFICER IS SORRY WHEN SHELLS DEMOLISH A COURSE It has been figured that New York City pays out a sum of $6,000,000 each year for its golf. This is not based on guess work, but by actual figures that can be supplied. This is against $650,000 spent In the state for boxing each year. Harry Vardon is very anxious to try the experiment of golf on the stage. The only doubt In his mind Is the proper vehicle to give him a chance, and as this has been successfully ar ranged .he will In all likelihood open his New York engagement about the first of March. As golf will be very little if anything In Europe this com ing year it is more than likely that we will keep Vardon with us most of the year. He will be Joined by other profes sionals from England later on. ' A moving picture company ' has made a proposition to put Vardon In films while In this country. Some one has suggested that golfers did not go to h moviAii. A very- strange sort of people they have got these golfersH down for. Some day tney win oe ten- lng us that golfers do not eat or sleep or drink. The links of the Tacoma Country and Golf club will be closed for the next couple of weeks, according to Caotain W. V. Burrlll. The recent frosts followed by warm sunshine has caused the course to soften until it is in some portions marshy. A visitor who had an exalted pin ion of his golf ability was extended the courtesy of the club, and the first day he went over the beautiful course, accompanied by a bright caddiei He had succeeded in burying his bail in every bunker, gulley and burn on or near the links, and turned to the cad die and said: 'Really, this is the most difficult course I have ever played on." 'Hoo dae ye kenT asked the cad die, gravely. "Ye havena played on it yet." No-Hit Twirler ' Signs. George Davis, who twirled a no-hit- no-run game last season, has signed to play with the Boston Nationals next season. He formerly pitched for - the Williams college team. r Br GOLF NOTES George Black, professional at the Sheboygan Golf club of .Chicago, re cently died, after an operation for ap pendlcltla. He came to this country three years ago from Troon. Scotland Two of his brothers are located In California and two in Ottawa, Canada. The Women's Golf Association of Greater Boston Is laying plans for successful, season of competition for 1916. alias H. S. Curtis, a former na An English officer, according to a story In the Paris Excel sior, was perched on an obser vation post in the Belgian sand dunes directing the fire of the British cruisers, which were, lying in close and shelling the German lines. The fire of the English war vessels seemed to be singularly effective, but with each hit the officer grew more and - more melancholy, murmuring to himself. "What frightful damage! What dread ful destruction!" "What on earth ; aro you complaining about?" asked an astonished comrade. "Don't you see that you're giving them the. range exactly right?" The mournful officer pointed to the German line. "That land over there comprises the best golf course on the continent." he said. "I played 4 over It only last year. And now look what the shells are -doing to if t A shot from the sea screeched overhead and the officer raised his field glasses to study its effect. He dropped them quick ly. "There goes the sixth green!" he said with a sigh. GOLF CHAMPION SAYS SPORT IS NOT FOR A BOY Healthy Boy Desires More Active Sport Than the Links Game, sports In preference to a round on the links, and only the lack of facil ities to play other games kept him loyal to golf, in which he was des tined to achieve a worldwide reputation. In view of the boom which the junior tournament idea is passing through this side of . the Atlantic just now, the great British golf er's idea Is particularly interesting. He says, in part: "xouth demands a vigorous outlet for the natural fund of animal spirits which is present in nearly every boy of tender years, and it can hardly be said that the game of golf sup plies a sufficient outlet for the vigor ous enthusiasm of youth. It has few of the characteristics which appeal to the true, natural boy, and notwith standing the outcry against the advis ability of allowing schoolboys to play the game, we cannot believe that it will ever become supremely popular with the youth of the country unless some subtle change Is taking place ia the, characteristics of the boyhood of ureat Britain. "But notwithstanding the absence of discipline, that It is an excellent training for the young unmatured mind, we are thoroughly convinced, as It teaches the boy to act for himself. and it teacnes him control and self discipline, and the latter Is the very soul and core of all forms of disci pline." GEERS HOPES TO RIDE BEHIND A 2:00 NAG IN 15 Veteran Driver Drove Ess. H. Kay to Sulkey in Two and Three Quarters, ON THE ALLEYS Harold H. Hilton, the former British champion, in an editorial In the golf" ing magazine of which he is the ed itor, expresses the opinion that golf is 'a game that possesses few attrac tions for the average boy. Mr. Hil ton believes that the boy who plays golf receives much benefit therefrom, but he thinks that most boys prefer more active sports in which their youthful enthusiasm can find a natu ral outlet. He confesses that he spent most of his spare time on the links when he was a boy, but attributes this to the fact that he lived in a part of England where golf was the almost uni versal game and where other sports made little headway. In fact, he says that whenever an opportunity of fered he took part In more vigorous Edward F. Gers, the grand old man of harness racing, who Is spend ing the winter at his home at Mem phis, Tenn., did not make many New Year's resolutions, but he did come through with a real wish for the new year. '1 hope to drive a horse In two minutes or better this year, and to win more than $116,370 In one season," declared "Pop." There are Jiow seven pacers and three trotters .with records better than two minutes, but it has not been the veteran's good fortune to ride one of these fast miles in a record perform ance. He marked Ess H. Kay in 2:00, but that is the nearest he ever has come to even time In a race or a trip against the watch. The G. O. M. of the sulky has been driving horses 44 years and has amassed a good-sized fortune in win nings, which, had he been able to keep, would have made him a financier to day Instead of an industrious trainer of highly bred harness horses.

We know of many horses .that have been named after men, but Jack Dillon is the first man we ever knew who was named after a horse. However, do not blame the horse, oivack's father or mother he wished the name on himself. He preferred Jack Dillon to his real and dignified uue or .Ernest Cutler Price. That would have been a fine name for a fighter, now, wouldn't It? But wo must go back to the early days Jn Indianapolis, Ernest Cutler Price's home burg. "We must adjust our retrospectacles on young Ernie at the age of 14, as he trudges along the road toward the Maywood stock farm, Just outside of Indianapolis, It was tho first time he was ever there but not the last. After that first visit he trudged out as often as escape was possioie, ror he liked the old race course, and, what was more, he liked norses. Among the many fine horses at May- wood was that great stallion, Sidney Dillon, known the world over as the sire of numerous famous and fast horses. Little Krnie's .fondness for horseflesh soon focused into real affec tion for that nutAhl lhnrnn,hhrul Stirling R. Holt, the owner, took quite a HKing to the little chap, and per mittee; mm to work around the farm for nothing which Ernfe was nuite willing to-do, that ho -Could be near faKiney UlHon. At that time the only great ambition of Ernest Cutler Price was to become owner of a string of great race norses. tie had never thought of the boxing game. That thought came to him later and at the Maywood stock farm, too. But listen to .Jack himself. Here it Is, as he said it: Employes Donned OIotm. "T'see, 'round a place of this kind it was an everyday occurrence for the employes to don the gloves. After work' and during dull moments some one would dig Up the old pair of box ing gloves and noon we would be at It. Naturally, they coaxed me to put 'em on, and I was surprised to find out that I could do pretty well with 'em. I sort o liked to box, and after 1 had tried it a few times I nearly drove my folks crazy by staying out to Haywood's all the time. - -.1 got so that I could beat all the fellows anywhere near my siae, so one evening they decided to match me with the champion ot the farm. The champ was a big, raw-boned Irishman much larger than I was and a very furious fighter. Well, that was my first contest.. We set the date two weeks ahead,- and we both took good care of ourselves and did some train ing after a fashion. The evening of the battle quite a crowd had gathered, and they formed a ring with tho aid of some reins and fence posts. We had our seconds and everything It was as near like a regular battle as we could make it. .And my corner waa right up against Sidney Dillon's stall. "Weil, we went at it. The fight was a bear, but I managed to win in about seven rounds, if l remember correctly. That battle made me fa mous around the. country all the farm hands were talking about It and every thing. In some way a promoter in town heard of me, and he sent me an offer to box a prelim' before his club in Indianapolis. You bet I ac cepted, all right.' "On tha way to the fight I got nerv ous. Y'see it waa different out at the farm where I knew everyone, and with old Sidney Dillon In my corner. I was afraid to look around -when I climbed In the ring. Every time I looked at that sea of faces I felt sick seasick. I guess.. So I just looked down and tried to Imagine myself out at Maywood farm and dear old Sidney Dillon In my corner. Suddenly the referee said: Whatx yer namef "Sidney Dillon,' I answered: before I knew whet I said. He must of mis understood the first name, for he hesi tated a second and then bawled out. Jack Dillon.' " So that is how It happened, reader friends Just as he told It. And to this day there are many of Jack Dli Ion's best friends who don't know that Jack Dillon Is only a nom de guerre or should we say nom de cheval? New York, Jan. JS.-If those who are promoting the Johnson-Willard , affair had ordered Jess Willard to ' go out and get a reputation instead iof keeping him under cover, the. lut would have drawn pretty nearly 1 Its well as the Johnson-Jeffries battle of four years ago. But they haven't. They've been con--. tent to let Willard rest upon- the few j-lng honors that are his and are try-: jng to am tne public into believing Buweuiing inat isn t true that Wll- lard Is the best heavyweight in Amer : ica. Willard Just now ranks on a tar with a half dozen other white hopes. He ranks, in the minds of most fight fans, inferior to Kara Langford and , Joe Jeanette, the dusky warriors. And . so it can be seen why the Willard- ' junnson oout isn't stirring up a lot of commotion in the pugilistic world. If Willard had gone out and scored decisive victories over Langford, Jean ette, Gunboat Smith, Carl Morris and. Jim Coffey, the Willard-Johnson bout would have given promlso of boing a gold' mine for the promoters. But Wll- lard hasn't any of these things. He knocked out u bunch of filth rato boxers, scored a decision over (Jun to t Smith, who in half his eie, and is credited with a victory ever Carl Morris in the worst boxing boot ever staged in New Vork. And because of this the promoters are trying to tJl us that .Willard ia a champion, . .The promoters, after hooking "up " tyillard and Johnson, probably thought , tey. were doing the Wise thing by rfot permitting Willard to take any fliances with Morris, Smith, Lnu rord and the other. Willard might have been given a decisive beating on -points; might even have been knocked out. And that would kill off whatever interest there may be in tho Willard Johnson affair. Should Have ronght All. ' The wiser course wonM hav ,n for the promoters to force Willard to fight every aspirant for the privilege of meeting Johnson in a heavyweight bout. If Willard was - equal to the task then a Willard-Johnson fight would have proved a mighty drawing card. As it is, the coming Willard Johnson bout seems to be nothing; out a meeting between a, second rata heavyweight and one of the - greatest heavyweight fighters that ' ever stepped into a ring. - Gunboat Smith, according to . his manager-press agent, Jim Buckley, as pires to become a "gentleman." The "Gooner" craves . culture In Just the way that some men crave beer on a warm summer evening. He's more ' concerned now about the correct way 1 of wearing a dress suit than he la in advancing himself in the pugilistic . World. The "Gooner," says Buckley, reads the society columns more thoroughly ' than he does the sporting pages. Ha -reads books on "How to Become a oiuuon LaU(r" and - "How t FTt .
