DULL GOLF SEASON IS EXPECTED Royal and Ancient Game Reached Zenith of Power Two Years Ago. There is no sport In America, not excepting- golf, that grips and holds th interest as trapshooting more popularly known as the "Patriotic Sport." As shooting is instinctively and dis tinctly American, one cannot wonder that the sport of shooting has taken its place among the leading pastimes on ths American continent. It is a matter of record that over 4j00 clubs have been organized solely for trapshooting. With an average member ship of 50, this means an organization of practically 200,000 men who are more or less expert in the use of shotguns. Many thousands more are unattached, that is to say, sportsmen who own shot guns but who are not affiliated with any club. It is variously estimated that, all told there are a half million active or semi active trapshooters in the United States, The sport of trapshooting, be it known, develops the faculties to an extent where one's Judgment of distance, keenness of sight, etc., may be depended upon to an unusual degree. An afternoon at the trans nulls one away from mundane things and acts as a tonic for nerves strained to the point of breaking. Hence the attraction of the men of business in search of relaxation. Trapshootin. therefore, should be en couraged everywhere, if for no other reason than that it is a clean sport for clean and virile people. A number of clubs organized exclu sively for women have made their an pearance during the past few years, and today a fair sprinkling of contestants representing the fair sex are seen at all important tournaments.

Penn Football Team Has New Assistant Kdward McCleary, 1910, will be Penn sylvania State's assistant football coach next fall. He will handle the hackfield men under the direction of Dick Har low. J 31 1, the head coach. This combi iiHuuu gives me rsiue ana vvnite a coaching staff that is exclusively a product of the Penn State system. Never before since the graduate coaching sys tern has been in effect here has Har low had a chance to direct the offense without the assistance of backfjeld coaches brought in from other colleges. Penn btate s alumni advisory commit tee and the undergraduates are con vlnced that the new coaching system will be the most successful yet tried here. .McCleary was a brilliant full back at Penn State on the teams of '07 '08 and '09. He captained State's team In 1909. During the seasons of 1910 and 1911 he acted as assistant coach at state. VEW YORK, April 27. (U. P.) This is to be another dull golf year. Baseball "Competition will go on, but golf has been reduced to old men's foursome and women's putting con tests. Undoubtedly a few Red Cross exhibitions will be sprinkled through the season, but the dictators of the game in this country have decided that until the war is ver golf must remain pepless. In 1916, at the last national amateur championship since America entered the war, golf reached the zenith of its power in the field of American sport. On that bright Saturday in Septem ber. 1916, when Charles (Chick) Evans of Chicago won the national amateur championship at the Merion Cricket club in Philadelphia, it could be truth fully stated that golf had "arrived" in America. Ten Thousand Saw Play Ten thousand wild eyed enthusiasts trailed Kvans and Bob Gardner at Merion and the men who built up the game in this country smiled with sat isfaction. Then during the next spring America entered the war and golf has been wiped off the map. Many golfers think the dictators have made a mis take in taking all the title competition out of golf for the duration of the war. While the Red Cross competition of last year kept the sport from being en tirely buried, it fell far short of main taining the interest which had been de veloped up to the close of the 1916 sea son. The one bright feature of last year was the wonderful playing by Ouimet in exhibition matches. Oulmet, with his partner, Jesse Guilford, shot some great golf, and large galleries followed this pair. In Chicago the Western association held its champion ships, but this year even the Western association gave way to the pressure from the national organization and haa called off its title meets. Are the Backbone Following Red Cross matches and na tional championship matches is as dif ferent as watching race horses exercise and watching them run for a $25,000 stake. The state and national championships are the backbone of golf interest. They are the world series of the sport and every golfer goes at his own game with more interest because he has these big competitions to keep tab on. With these dead, the Interest of the average golfer dies. T Something to look forward to in the j dim future is international competition I between British and American golfers such as has never been dreamed of, for the war is bringing the countries to gether in such a way that the comrade shio will be continued. A world's ama teur golf championship, one year on some famous English sward, the next over one of our own great courses, will undoubtedly be one of the . many mani festations of friendship after the war has been won. Portland swimming is promised 'a tremendous boost, if plans of Owen Merrick, sports editor of the Hono lulu Star-Bulletin, and many of the large organizations devoted to athletics in the Hawaiian islands go through. Merrick is sponsering a tour of world famous swimmers for the benefit of the Red Cross, and inasmuch as there have been golf tournaments and tennis matches boxing smokers and baseball games for the organization, a swimming attraction should be just as suc cessful. Heading the organization will be the world famous Duke Kahana moku, backed up by Harold Cruger, world's back stroke champion, Clarence Lane, and possibly John Kelii. This quartet, taken as a club, is tUe fastest that ever crawled through the water. Mer rick writes that Duke is in class 3 of the draft, and the other swim mers are under age, and they wish to make the mainland tour instead of taking a few isolated trips. Expenses Only Wanted Merrick has written to the secre tary of the Red Cross in Oregon and has laid plans before that of ficial. Every nickel above expenses will go to the organization, and the boys think they can raise a goodly sum. According to the schedule, the Duke and his companions would be In Portland the afternoon of June 21, and would remain in Portland Friday night and Saturday. They are willing to swim on both nights. As places for holding the meet, the Multnomah club, the Y. M. C. A. and the Oaks are mentioned. Inas much as it will be in June, an out door meet might be held. Sleets Mast Be Sanctioned If any Portland swimmers think they can give competition to the Hawaiians, the meets will have to be sanctioned to preserve the ama teur standing of the visitors, but no sanction is necessary with exhibi tions. Merrick says the swimmers will leave Honolulu about June 1, and after exhibiting in California, will come north to Portland, make Spo kane and then go east for a first stop at Minneapolis. GOV. TENER TO ASSIST AA TEAMS Big Minors in East Will Finish Season if National League Can Keep Them Going. ITCHING HONORS in what is now the Pacific ' Coast International league have, been won three times by George Engle, who retired from profes- ' sional ball a couple of seasons ago. Kngle topped the twirlers for the first time as a member of the championship Portland team in 11)01. Seven ". years later, when with Vancouver, he again . headed the curve artists, and three seasons after- " ward he again finished out in front. 11c is the- only twirler who has won the title more than once. McFarlan, who pitched for the Boise club in ' 1901, holds the record for the greatest number of games won in a season, winning 30 contests that year. George Stovall, who : pitched for Seattle in 1902; Irve Higginbotham. a member of the Aberdeen team in 1907, and Bill James of Seattle, each won 29 i I 1 mm games in a season. Bill James, who made a name for himself with the Boston Braves in 1914. has the second best mark, for Seattle In 1912. Nichols of the Spokane team of 1903 has the best winning percent- age, annexing a mark of .833. He won 20 out of 2 games. Included In the list of winning pitchers are a number of twirlers who made good in major league baseball, among them being Brad ley Hogg, who is staging a come back in ' the National league this season with Philadelphia; "Speck" Harkness, Krve Kantlehner. Phil Douglass, Win Xoyes. Ed Klnsella, and Virgil Garvin, who was one of the greatest twirlers in the his tory of the game.

Each has con tributed young birds . to government stations and many of the members are enlisted as caretakers of the homing pigeons, which are valuable messengers in the European war. New York. April 27. The bird who said there is nothing in a name had his signals gummed up. There is quite a bit in some names, and the case of Mike Ilogan of Co hoes, N. Y., proves it beyond a doubt. Just before the Giants started for Marlin and spring training, Mike Hogan bounced in to the Giants' of fices and announced that he was ready to go south. Robbed His Dome John McGraw gave him the up and down, scratched his noggan in deep thought and utterly failed to re member of ever having heard of him. "Why, the paper up In Cohoes said you wanted to give me a trial and so I am here." explained Hogan. "I've been pitching semi-pro ball up home and I guess you've heard about me. I'm a machinist by trade." McGraw had never dreamed of Hogan, but he liked the youngster's looks and. most of all. he took a fancy to the name of Hogan. Mc Graw would like to surround himself with Doyles. McCarthys and Ho gans. so he decided to give Mike a chance, and Mike went to Marlin. Home Town Paper Did It It seemed that some writer had piped a yarn about Hogan and a pa per in his home town had Inter preted the story to mean that the Giants had him signed. So Hpgan read about it and took it for granted. At any rate, south he went, and he figured it would be all right, even if he didn't make good, for he could come back home in a month's time and go back to work in the machine shop at Cohoes. Long Time No See But Mike overloked a bet. He showed McGraw enough promise as a pitcher to warrant the Giant man ager keeping an eye on him. so when John Ganzel, manager' of the Kan sas City Blues, dropped into Marlin looking for talent, Hogan was one of the players turned over to him. Whether or not the Cohoes semi pro makes good with Kaysee he will have his chance. And if he dogs it will be a long time until he sees Cohoes again. for the farthest point east in the American associa tion is Columbus, Ohio. So there is something in a" name after all. for Hogan. who had never played professional ball, is getting his first tryout in the strongest minor league in the country, and all because his name is Hogan. i Judge W. W.

Kaufman. Tarn ma Kastley. BallaM . . WEW YORK. April 27. (U. P.) A Class A A league will finish the season In the East if the National league can do anything to keep it go ing. This is the attitude of Governor John K. Tener. president of the National league, expressed when the Interna tional was on its lat legs and wabbling Victoria naaiy. it wasn t put In such a fashion, j but the big league head promised that the National would do anything to keep alive a successor to the-league or the International itself. The East without an International league or a successor to the football of baseball would present a rather sorry baseball sight at the opening of the season. Class A A baseball has come to be as much of an institution in the East as has the major league kind. In fact, there was a time when the Inter national was considered a dominant factor in baseball especially in the minors. It had quite a bit to say when the Federal league ended its days by capitulation to organized baseball, far its towns were the ones mainly hit by the Interloping circuit. When Ed G. Barrow was president of the organization It went through some troublous times, but Barrow always was equal to the task of pulling his pet through. He was friendly with the or ganized powers in the national game and often went the very limit in get ting aid for some tottering club. These things will be missed In the organization formed to take the place of the defunct member of the national agreement, but the friendly, helping hand extended by the National league will be a welcome, bright spot in the future. The National league can well afford to help the eastern Class A A league, for It offers a field for "farmed" play ers that can hardly be dispensed with. Many times National leaguers might find it hard to release players to lower classifications if this big mlnoX was not operating. Fetors Not Rnay Much of the trouble the International league forced on organized baseball would have been avoided had the club owners in that circuit and in the Amer ican association listened to the counsel of Barrow when he attempted to organize a new minor league last fall. His proposition was to take the best cities of the American association for a western halt of a new circuit and combine them with four International league cities for an eastern . half. A leagUe such as this would be flour ishing now. whereas the International has now passed in Its checks and the future looks anything but rosy for some of the American association cities. 181K I!oe.
