Columbia City Coif Fans Are Forming Club Columbia City, Juno H> Twenty ] five Columbia city men Interested In' the forming of a golf club in Columbia city met at the Farmers Loan & ( Truitt Company Tuesday night and 1 completed their organization. | For some months Columbia City . golfers have been playing golf at the Tippecanoe Country Club, but this was inconvenient for many reasons and a demand sprang up for a local golf course. Recently the demand took shape and resulted in the laying out of a seven hole golf course on the farm of Rev. L. A. Luckenbill just east of Columbia City on the old Yellowstone Trail. The club is starting under favorable auspices and with a memltership of twenty-five which is expected will be increased to thirty-five or torty by the end of the week. The course has been named the “Peasant Hills Golf Course." The membership fees will be $lO for each family. Green fees will be 50 cents . for non-members. Washington Park Race Course Ready For Meet Transformation of 206 acres of rawprairie into Washington Park Race Course, the setting of a floral gem. in less than three months, constitutes an epic of the American turf. That one paragraph tells what has been accomplished by the Illinois Jockey Club at Homewood, 111., in preparing the new home for the American Derby, the revival of the greatest racing classic of the west'em hemisphere. Beginning July 3 will be a thirtyone day race meeting terminating August 7. Including the Eighteenth Running of the American Derby, there will be six great stake races, and the minimum purse every day will be $1,200. Yet less than three months ago the 206 acres involved were raw prairie much the same as when as when the Pottawattamie* pursued the buffalo and deer, and the night echoed to the howl of the coyote. Five hundred skilled workmen are putting the finishing touches on a massive steel and concrete grandstand. the chib house, paddock and judges’ stand. Thirty stables to house more than 1.400 horses, are getting the final coat of paint. o Kirkwood And Barnes Disqualified In Tourney Liverpool. Eng., June 10.-* (United Press.) — Joe Kirkwood and Jim Barnes were disqualified in the North England golf championship at Formby today for making a late start. An Englishman named Robertson was disqualified for the same reason. With Barnes and Kirkwood out, the American representation is reduced to seven. o— Get the Habit—Trade At Home, It Pays * ■ - ■ - -

The funs feel that ,tl ' two boxers are so evenly matched that to concede odds in elher direction would be sheer optimism. The meeting is the second clash between them. They fought a sixround draw here In August, 1924. when Stribling because of his age, was not allowed to go a longer distance. To-, night Berlenbach should have a slight weight advantage but not enough to affect the outcome measure ably. o Poe Quartet Leaves Monday For Annual Two Weeks’ Outing The Poe quartette, famous in this section of the country for their ability to entera.in, have for years enjoyed a two weeks outing at Crooked lake near Angola. Plans have been completed by members of the quartet to leave Monday, wives accompanying them, of course, for the Smith cottage along the shores of the lake, arriving in time to get all ready for the 16th. when the fishing law comes in. Sine they are going to enjoy it and you may expect some rare stories of big pike lured to their boats by solos, duets and the entire chorus. In the party will be Messrs, and Mesdamcs Cal D. Kunkle, itbbert Mercer, John Ruhl and Marion Smith. o NEW FARM BILL INTRODUCED IN SENATE TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONKI bill’s prospects and this group was today seeking 13 reorganize it-: battlelines with the assistance of the new farmers’ champion, vice president Dawe-v.
