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.

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

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

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.

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

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

Pigeon Fanciers
Form Association
Pigeon fancjiers belonging to the Phila
delphia Concourse association, and the
Union association, amalgamated into
an association known as the United
Concourse association. 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. McCredie signed a
pitcher named Ferguson this year
because he thought the name had a
little Scotch flavor in It Ferguson
is author of the "You know me,
Judgey" epistles, and was the big
gest nut that ever showed up at a
Portland training camp. He was
quickly released.

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.
