Is;'- Oolf course construction and matn t'tenance work, to be done economically and successfully, must be carried out systematically, according to definite prearranged plans. There must neces : eerily ba a certain amount of experi-f- mentation In the beginning to deter ? mine what treatment any course needs, but If careful account is kept of all o work dona and all results obtained a .v settled policy can soon be adopted which will always give good results. Course Should Hot Be Changed. A course properly designed and built 1 should never have to be materially changed in any respect unless irn . proved playing inplements should radl- a cally affect the game itself or addi tional property be secured which would J admit of a more advantageous lay-j Ut-than the possibilities of the orig-j lnal tract of land afforded. It is there- l v i fore obvious that the most economi- j v eal plan any club can adppt is to en . gage a competent architect to design Its links. v. If it is possible to secure his ser ge vices, the architect who has designed the course should be retained to super intend its construction and, after its . completion, act as a permanent added , member of the club's green committee " In the capacity of adviser on all ques tions of grounds maintenance. The - poorer a club the farther must it make Its money go and the lews it can afford to do its work Incorrectly. Enormous waste is attendant on the t bullOlng of an improperly designed .ouro, lor nwjen or me worn win nec essarily have to be undone, sometimes ! t at great cost. A course may, however, i bti designed to be an excellent test of golf, and yet be laid out in such a i manner that the cost of construction Will be greater than it would he if some other equally effective design V were adopted. A course effectively P and economically designed may, hy in- efficient construction work, be made "tieedlessly expensive.

The clear weather of the past sev- eral days has attracted many members of the Portland Golf clubs to the links. At the annual meeting of the Tuala- tm country club, the old officers and board of directors were re-elected. The 0fflcera anct directors are: Cecil H Bauer, president; Dr. Jonah B.

The Portland Golf club officials have been flooded with applications for membership since the announce ment that he initiation fee was to be raised to $0. The change in the in itiation fee became effective yester day. Alf Bllnko. the R-olf Professional of ' the Shaughnessey Jleights CJoif Club, of Vancouver. B. C, was a recent i Portland visitor.

In fact, what right had you to be born at all." It has long been known that Francis Ouimet. the champion arnaeur golfer of the United States, would be rated below the soratch mark on the forthcoming j GOLF NOTES a handicap list of the Massachusetts Golf association; and there has been a deal of speculation as to whether he would be handicapped at plus 1 or plus 2. It wasn't until a few days ago, however, that Handicapper Arthur G. Lockwood decided that the position for Ouimet ought to be plus 3; and, while Ixickwood rating must be passed on by the committee, there is no doubt of the fact that the M. G. A. executives will be sharply in accord with the views of Lockwood. It will be a distinction that has come to no other golfer. Wilfred E. Reid, the celebrated Eng lish professional golfer, who visited America a few years ago with Ray and Vardon, has accepted a position with the Seaview Golf club, of Abso con, N.

George Turnbull, the former golf professional of the Waverly Country Club and now connected with the Cor-c-nado Country Club of California, nay become professional al the Hheboygan Golf Club, near Chicago. Reports from California state that Turnbull is in communication with the offi cials of the Illinois club. Turnbull resigned his position at the Waverly Club to accept tne offer of the California resort, but is said now to be anxious to invade the east. The Sheboygan Club is without a pro fessional on account of the death of George Black, who died recently fol lowing an operation for appendicitis. Turnbull has been making quite a hit at Coronado in the development of amateurs on the Poppy City course, according to the following from the Los Angeles Examiner, which will be of Interest to his many Portland friends: "The success of the amateur golfers on the Coronado links this winter is due in a great measure to the untiring efforts of George Turnbull, profes sional, who Is on the coursa from early In the morning v.nttl the sun sinks behind the blue Pacific in the late afternoon. "Turnbull probably is the best man who has taken charge of the game at Coronado, always playing an ex cellent game, which rivals tne play of any professional in the country. "Hundreds of golfers take their daily work-outs under his. instruc tions and through his efforts some of the most promising of talent has been developed. "Turnbull, who is a Scotchman, ranks among tb best golfers in the country. Through him h.ivc been ar ranged all of the tournaments which have been held at Coronado this year, all of which have brought mt a fuU entry list In all matches scheduled."

' There's a heated debate going on Just now In baseball circles over this subject : "I a married ball player, of more value to a club than a bachelor ball player?" One faction thev wedded faction asserts loudly that the wedded gent is jmore- , valuable to-the wlub. while an- oiner raction the . unwedded gents take the opposite viewpoint. It looks like a deadlock. Tht" wedded fellow says that after a ball player gets married lie quita frlvoling and that the Ies frivollng the better it is for the ball club as a whole. That faction asserts that after a-ball player- gets married he becomes steadier In his habits; he doesn't stay out all night, or even half , the night. - He realises that he has family responsibilities and that he must keep working so as to tiold hie Job and thus keep the wolf from the doorstep. Ollie O'Mara, . who shortstops for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and who is spokesman for the bachelor gang, has this to say: , . Se Beglas to Oo Back. "As soon as a guy gets married he begins to go back. He loses his pep and he loses his nerve. He no longer takes .the chance that he did in the past. He doesn't try the long shots on bases that he did before he got hooked up. ''A married fellow detracts from team spirit instead of getting around with the boys in the evening, he ducks off into some corner and writes a let ter to his wife. Then he sneaks Off for bed. JThe married fellow won't get Into a card game unless the limit is about 10 blue chips for a penny. "A married ball player doesn't sees an umpire as an umpire sometimes needs, to be sassed. Why? Oh, be cause' the married fellow fears a fine and a later accounting to wlfey for the shyness in the pay envelope. "The unmarried ball player plays baseball all the time on the field, on the Pullmans and in the hotel lobbies. As soon as a fellow gets married he plays the game only on the ball field. At all other times he plays the, love game. And baseball and love don't mix." May Be a Boorback. Seems to us as if Ollie's words are going to be used against him some day.
