The greens and -Koine of the fair greens were closed for play during the past months on account of two severe frosts. Growth of Golf Not Rivaled by Baseball ,Considering that golf was practically new to this coun- . try 25 years ago, the present status of the "game stands for a growth absolutely unrivaled bv any other sport, event base- ball. A statistician has figured that today, within 50 miles of the New York city hall, there are 112 golf courses represent- ing an outlay of $10,000,000, and 30,000 Individuals. The number of golf and country clubs in the United States would proi-e astounding, 4 If totaled; for practically every 4 town of 5000 persona or over has at least one. The money invested in golf courses would probably far sur- pass the sum Involved In equip- ping 'the 45 or 50 baseball leagues in the country. And it has all happened within 25 years. The history of golf is one proof that the game which the average person can play will win support away from the game which the average man can only watch.

He is being supported by every member of the club. The commodore, realizing that among the exposition visitors passing through Portland to and from the California cities will be found a great many yachtsmen and Jovers of the sailing Bport, is plannir that on certain days of the week that a por tion of the sailing fleet will be at the command of the general entertain ment committee. This committee will be appointed in the near future. Dr. and Mrs. Jack Yates will move into their large houseboat tomorrow. Tey are the first of the "indoor sail ors" to appear for the spring season. Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Ramsey are having a ntw houseboat built from the plans of an eastern builder. FranlJ B. Thompson, chairman of the regatta committee, is having a 20 footer built. He claims the plans are original and that the boat will be the fastest on the river in its class. The water polo club of the Oregon Yacht club will start training in the near future and will likely play its first game during the Decoration ay regatta. The ladies of the winter colony were entertained at a luncheon last week by Mrs. E. J. Carr. Mrs. Thomas Ross will be hostess next Friday. The social swim of last Tuesday night was a big success. The next will be held March 9. BOAT CLUB 50 YEARS OLD Vesper Boat club, of Philadelphia, has just celebrated its 50th birthday. It was organized on February 22, 1863, and is one of the strongest rowing or ganizations in this country. Among the various prizes won by the Vesper oarsmen are 30 national championships, two world's championships, one won at Paris in 1900, and the other at St. Louis in 1904, when the Vesper eight beat the Argonauts, of Toronto, and many other evnts. Pari-Mutuel Betting. - Only pari-mutuel investment on horse racing Is legal in New Zealand, and this stringent measure was adopted to suppress surreptitious bookmaking. Police Organize League.

Sporting Ed itor of The Journal In the excitement of Mr. Marshall's record breaking per formance, a draw which was secured by Marshall Malone, postmaster at Linnton, went unrecorded. The true score made by Mr. Marshall was 77 wins, 11 draws and four losses and not 78 wins, 10 draws and. four losses, as previously announced. I have writ ten to the secretary of the Manhattan Chess club and to Hermann Helms, editor of the American Chess Bulletin, the only ches3 magazine published in the United States, correcting the score, and hope that you will publish a state ment in your columns correcting the error. The successful winners were W. II. Adamson, H. Kurth, A. G. John son and William Bittle Wells. The persons securing draws were Post master Marshall Malone of Linnton; L. R. Elder, O. A. Mitscher, E. Schlee, H. Kempemch, E. G. Short, F. S. Appel man, C. T. Rice, F. S. Myers, Dr. L. E. Story and Mrs. L. M. Morfitt. We want to establish a record without a blot and request that you announce this correction. ALBERT G JOHNSON, President Portland C. and C. club.

The greens are somewhat soft, but it is expected that they will be in splendid condition in a couple of weeks. For the next couple of weeks, the Tualatin Country club players will play on temporary greens. Ground keeper Junor is, preparing the regular greens for the opening of the spring season. The Eugene Country club and tbe Illahee Golf club of Salem will likely meet each other in a team match dur ing -the spring aeason. The Eugene club will play a team of golfers of the Portland Golf club on April 18. J. Q. Jones, a young homebred "pro," has been appointed to take charge of the Hollywood golf course of New York. Jones for a number of years has been professional at Dyker .Mead ow, the Brooklyn golf course. Fred Sprogel and Dave Cuthbert, two "pros." from Philadelphia, agree with most, of the New York professionals that a left-hander should play right handed. Meaning, of course, that he adopt this when he first takes up the game. We wouldn't advise an old left handed player to try playing the other way, which would be just as bad as a right-hander turning left-handed. James Dunn has resigned his posi tion as professional at the Hollywood Golf club of New York, and hereafter will devote all his time to Indoor golf, excepting during three months In the summer. Dunn is a great believer In In door golf as it is at present taught, and believes he can continue to get the best results out of his pupils. As golf is primarily an outdoor game, it is natural that he would want to de vote part of the time to teaching in the open where he could see the flight of the ball. Coming on the heels of the announce ment that Port Jefferson was to have a new golf course, Roslyn, I I., has also announced that a golf course was among the possibilities of that vicinity. It Is said the plans are to lay out the new links immediately. Wilfred Reld, who came over to this country with Vardon and Ray In 1913, has accepted a position here at the new Seaview club at Atlantic City. . . Reld is considered a very good golfer on the other side, although his name baa not figured extensively in. the big tourna ments. The British Amateur Golf associa tion has announced the cancellation of the golf championship contests for 1915. This competition has been held yearly for the last 29 years. It is open to foreign players, and in 1904 it was won by Walter J. Travis, of New York. The British lawn tennis association has decided not to issue a challenge for the Davis international tennis cup this year. This trophy waB won by an Aus tralian team in the United States last summer. Thirty-one members were secured by the Portland Golf club during its re cent membership campaign. Of the new members, 26 were men, four were women and one a junior. Miss Peggy Imes won the "kicker's handicap" at Gearhart last Monday. With a handicap of 52, Miss Imes fin ished with the score of 84, which won her the prize. Rudolph Wilhelm of the Portland Golf club, made the best score of the trip to Gearhart, a 32 during a four ball match between Ellis Bragg, of the Waverly club, and J. A. Mac an. of Victoria, and J. R. Straight and him self. Wilhelm paired with Sam A. Archer in another match against J. R. Straight and N. E. Ayer. C. S. Battle was reelected president of the British Columbia Golf club at the annual meeting of the club in its new club house last week. J. R. Smith was appointed captain of the. club team and F. J. Coulthard vie captain! S. F. 4 Round Game Rigidly Enforced . i San Francisco, Feb. 27. Rigid rule by the police for the regulation of amateur boxing bouts in San Francisco were In force today. ' Chief White In enforcing the rules laid down by the police department at the supervisors request, will have an officer In at tendance at the amateur bouts, whose duty It will be to see that the boxers pass a rigid medical examination and contest under their right names and that an experienced referee and sec onds participate. Regular Friday night shows here are scheduled by the California Amateur association, which has been organised by nine promoters. GOLF PLAYER AT BEST BETWEEN 27 AND 37, OPINION OF EXPERTS Outlook for American Game Is Very Good in View of These Facts. John Moakley, athletic trainer for Cornell university, recently said in an interview, In which he gave advice re garding bow to be healthy and athletic, that track sports were for the youth, tennis for men of 30, and golf for those of 40 and upward. He recom mended long distance walking for young and old. It may be, incidentally, that Moakley forgot it requires a walk of five miles to play 18 holes of golf. However, the coach gave it as his opinion that golf was ideal for men of middle age who frequently consider themselves too old for anything in sports, pointing out that although golf Is not nearly as strenuous as tennis it gives a wonderful amount of healthy exercise. "I have been playing the game my self for nearly a year," he said, land am still in what you" might call the duffer class, but I gain a lot of exer cise and recreation out of It." One of the most ardent champions of golf for boys Is Charles Evans . Jr., and he played a prominent part in the agitation which caused the Western Golf association to add a junior cham pionship to its program. Lelghton Cal kins' efforts in behalf of the junior metropolitan championship are well known. Sllton's Idea of Kan's Beat. Now comes Harold H. Hilton, for mer American and British champion, who declares that If he were asked when a golfer should be at his 'best he would say between 27 and 27. And he proceeds: "He should then be at his best phys ically, and he should by the time be has arrived at his twenty-seventh year have imbibed a sufficient knowledge of the game to turn his physical pow ers to account. But players vary so much, both in matter of temperament and physique. Some develop early, like Mr. Ball and Mr.' Taylor, while others develop slowly, like Braid, but a player should probably be at his very best at about 84. "On this principle the - outlook of American golf would appear to be par ticularly rosy, as all their leading players are well on the near side of 30, and the one who has been most successful of all 'during very recent times has not yet arrived at man's es tate, and this early development of American golfing youth is very re markable, at least from a British point of view, as we are accustomed to look upon a golfer of 80 years as' a com parative baby; but there was a time when we considered this stamp of golfer as a seasoned player. It la the continued success of the older school which has served to alter our sense of proportion." " Three JTot Yet 30 Ttari. Touching- on and appertaining to youth in American golf it may aa well be said here aa anywhere else that three of the leading Americans are not yet 80 years of age, Travera," Evans and Ouimet. The . national amateur champion waa 21 years old last May. The other two may be five yeara older, but little more, if any. . Aa against this argument Walter J. Travis, although not yet eligible for the seniors' tournament at Apawamfs each fall, la more the less past the half century mark, and If his golf la taken aa a criterion he haa the kick of a youngster and probably will have it for manyyears to; come. ' ! v Among other brilliant metropolitan players of the younger school are such chaps as' Philip Carter, aged .18, who holds the dual crown of junior metro polltam and., eastern lnterscholastie title holders1; Maxwell R. Morston, scarcely a year beyond majority; John N. Stearns, third. In the same category and Frank Dyer, not out of his teens. Of these players only Carter la eligi ble for the Junior metropolitan cham pionship, being less than 19, but this topio Is timely in that it shows the ne CAKRltv tnr thA i tr tntimomont . . V. boya. No club as yet has applied for"ptnat h can do much ln th llnf '' it formally, although Plainfleld would take it again, but prefers another club to handle it because it would be benefi cial to the tournament. True, it re quires effort to run it, but are not the young men worth any amount of it? Even on .the other aide before the war began there waa a movement in behalf of the juniors.' ATHLETIC NOTES Martin Hawkins, who was reap pointed chairman of the track and field committee of the Multnomah club, will call tbe clnderpath athletes together in the near future for the purpose of electing a captain for the coming season. George Phllbrook. who haa J?een the mainstay of the club team for the paat three yeara in the weight events, will likely be named captain. Allan McNeill, the former Colum bus club boxer, has applied for an amateur card In the Southern Pacifio branch of the Amateur Athletic union. W. J. Maloney, who boxed for the Beaver Athletic club, haa applied for a memberahlp ln the Pacifio aaaocia tion. Chicago will be the scene of tryouts for the athletes of the Central associa tion of the Amateur Athletic union, who are deslroua of entering the events at San Francisco. The track and field tryouts will be held in July. The swimming team will be "elected In the latter part of June. The 126, 135, 145 and 168-pound classes will be held during March. The tryouts in the 108, 115-pound and heavyweight will be ataged ln New York. Cal Harris, the former welterweight boxer of the Seattle Athletic club, has Joined the Spokane Amateur Ath letic club. Bill Donald, former University of California hurdler, has joined the Olympic club ln San Francisco. Don Old sprang into prominence in Seattle in 1909 by winning the hurdle eventa.

Oregonian Building Elevator to 3d Floor University of Wanhlngton, Feb. 27. Spring athletics are well under way" at the University of Washington and from the number of men turning out good teams will be developed along the different lines. Crew has the greatest number of men trying for places. -At fprcaent there are about 80 men on the rowing squad and Coach Conibear -expects to have more out when thai -new shell.' which is being built '.by the SeatUe business men for the university ' la completed. ' ; Conlbear haa eight letter men back, and some good second varsity oarsmen' from last year to pick his varsity crew nu.i,. mrii urn rounding into shape in good style for the first Col. logiate race, which will -be. held at Oakland. Cal., the first part of April. On this trip the crew will race both Stanford and the University of Cali fornia. Later on in the season a return race will be held on Lake Washington with the southern schools,' and during thn summer Wtahlnirtnn will am nntli again to enter the Intercollegiate re pat ta, which la to be held at the Btn Francisco fair. - Baseball Is also drawing lta ahare of men. Coach Doble haa about 80 men out every night. The weeding out baa not started yet and the team will not be selected for ueveral weeks. In thle line of activity thore are nlneW" wlnnera as a nucleus for the team and some good material in the incoming freshman class as well aa the men that turned out. last year but did not make the team. - ; Portland Men oa Bauad. ' There are several Portland men torn ' ing out for the team that should give a good account of thetnselvea. The Leader twins are the most promising looking. Ed Leader made his .letter last year on the pitching staff and his brother Elmer tried . out for " the receiving end but did not have enough experience to land him. on the team. This season he should have little trou ble in making It. Merle Ituessolote, iurmer j.mcoin nign scnooi mm, nu registered In college and Is out for an outfield position, and from all appear ances he has a fair chance to make It as there in only one varsity fielder back in college. The team this year should be far ahead sf the one last aeaaon aa thara are more men trying for it and also better material. Doble feels confident baseball aa he has done in football. The track representation is the larg est that hai been seen here for aev- . eral yearn. This la partly due to -the new coach that has charge of the squad this year.
