One of the costliest of golf courses
Is now being constructed about a mile
from "Long Beach. New York. 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

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

A shot from the sea screeched
overhead and the officer raised
his field glasses to study its
effect. He dropped them quick

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 .
Soup Correctly" and similar hooka
The "Gooner" used to eat dinner In
overalls or any other kind of garb
iua.1 iie Happened to De wearing at the
time the dinner bell tinkled. Now he
wouldn't think of dining without wear
ing swallow-tailed clothes. He goes
into a rage whenever he Is forced - t
dine where the folks don't pass around
linger dowis.

Geo. Turnbull Not
Fond of Sea Golf
George Turnbull. former golf
fesslonal at the Waverly Country
club. Is hardly satisfied with his !
position at the Coronado Country elub,
according, to information received from
a reliable source recently.
Turnbull has been sway from Port
land a little over a month, his resig
nation as professional at the local elub
taking effect during the first part of
December.
' It Is understood that Turnbull la try
ing to secure a position with some
eastern country club,- and it would not
be surprising to bear that be lands at
one of the clubs around Chicago. ' -
J. Martin Watson, formerly" con-"
nected with the Rock Island-Arsenal
club of Illinois, succeeded Turnbull
as professional of tho Waverly Coun
try club. - - .
Giant Sign Scoot. ' f
'Richard Klnsella will scout for the
Nsw York Nationals during th "com-,
ing season, and Joe Kelley will. likely
serve In tho same . capacity for the
Yankees. -
A .number of caddies of the Waverly i
Country lub are a bit peeved as the
result Sof ' th e report from New Tork
that the United States Golf- association
is considering the adoption of a new
rule regarding amateur players, and
that the same rule would likely be in
cluded in the by-laws of the Western
Golf association. .
The rule, which, caused concern
among the caddies, is:
"Accepting pay for service after
reaching the age of 16 years as caddie.
caddie roaster or green keeper or ac
cepting money or Its equivalent for
laying out or constructing, supervis
ing or giving advice respecting the
laying out, constructing or upkeep of
golf courses, or permitting name ok
likeness to be used , with or without
compensation directly or. Indirectly in
the sale or advertisement of anything
pertaining to the game of golf."
A majority of the caddies of the
Waverly Country club, especially those
who work during the week, are over 16
years of age, and as a number of-tb-m
have the boyhOvd ambition of becom
ing rbsmpion golfers .-in the future,
they naturaly are a bit oeevlsh. '
