Decatur's New Golf Course Not Open This Year While work on grading, building of the greens and laying of tile and water lines for Decaturs nine hole golf course will begin as soon ’as weather conditions permit, golfers will not be able to play the course until the spring of 1949. George I). Mac Lean stated today. •It doesn't look like we can complete the course this fall.” Mr Mac Lean stated. "We are dependent upon the weather and although the contract for grading and other grounds construction has been awarded to ihe John Dehner construction company of Fort Wayne, the greens will not be ready fqr seeling until late In August." he explained. Approximately two miles of four to !<• Inch tile must be.placed on the course and water lines run to the greens and through the fairways. Catch basins must be constructed at drainage points throughout tiie 80 acres and construction of the greens will require time and expert work. Mr. Mac Lean said in his detail of what was necessary to build a modern golf course. Clearing of the rolling acres started last fall and a 340-foot deep well which will supply water for the course has already been drilled. A pump house and imple ment she<i has been constructed and the large well pump is already on the site. Seeding of the course and planting of bent grass on the greens will begin next fall. Mr. MacLean also said that he hoped trees could lie planted by next fall, thus increasing the beauty of the place and create hazards for the golfers • Contracts have been let to Carl Striker of this city for constructing a tractor bridge and two foot

Chicago Cubs Slowly Work On Rebuilding BY LEO M. PETERSEN (United Press Sports Editor) New York. April ti -(UP)— The slowly developing “youth program" for the Chicago Cubs probably won't keep them out of the second division this seas On. The Cubs, long a proud national leesue dynasty, suddenly realised last year when they finished a sour sixth, that'they weren’t keeping pace with the rest of the pack in the development of young talent. So general* manager James Gallagher and field boas Charley Grimm launched a long range rebuilding job and though* it may produce a few acceptable rookies this year, the major hope is for the future. Even so. Grimm insists that he Is going to take his chances with a few young players who may not be entirely ready for the big time, .rather than try to make deals with other majpr league clubs to bolster the roster. However, Grimm Is hanking on holdover hurlers Hank Itorpwy. Bob (*hipman. Doyle (Porky) laide. Rues Meyer. I-efty Johnny Schmitz and Hank Wyse as the backbone of his staff this year. Bu' he is hop ing that such rookies as Don Carlsen. up from Tulsa; Hob Rush from Des Moines; and larfty Cliff Chambers of Los Angeles alar will come through ('hamberH. If he can lick a chronic sore arm. may be the best of the lot with a 24 and B mark behind him at Ixrs Angeles. Grimm’s infield is far from settled with only Eddie Waitkus at first base set to start the season. At second, aging I)on Johnson and fornfer Cleveland Indian Keystone man Ray Mack are battling it out. while the erratic but occasionally brilliant Meruiio at shortstop has competition from Dick Culler, who was obtained from the Braves, and from rookie Roy Smalley. up from Des Moines. Third base is wide open and it is possible Peanuts 1-owrey may have to come In from the outfield to play it again although Hank Schenz, up from Nashville, has performed there during training camp games Aside from young Cliff Aberson. who batted .279 in 47 games with the club laet season, the outfield Is likely to be all-reteran and prolb ably too old to compete with some of the younger units on other clubs. The regulars probably will be Phil Cavaretta. Andy Pafko and Bill Nicholson, although even the patient Grimin Is about to give up on big Nick, who batted only .244 last season. Bob Scheffins probably will get the call over Clyde McCullough for the first string catching job al though rookie Albert Walker, a 331 hitter from Naahviile may oust both of them eventually. The Cube may win some ball games on hustle and experience but not aw many as the Braves, Cards. Dodgers, and perhaps a few

I ty — O New York. April 6-(l'P)-Base-ball I* going to have Ils own Bos ton tea party come pctobjr. and you can take that today from Fearless Fraley, the blight of back bay. as he phks the Braves and the Red Sox to meet In the world series. All this probably will make Billy Southworth and Joe McCarthy, the ; respective managers very unhappy. Because I have put the kiss of death on so many people that in some quarters (the fair sex excluded) they refer to me as osculating Oscar. As a baseball boll weevil old Fearless is particularly effective. Which uhdoubtcdly will-make me as welcome up Cambridge way as a Yale man or a British accent. But after a tour of the Florida . training camps I have to give It to 1 you straight. It’s a 100 percent on the level, product of a poll of bat bo/k. sore armed pitchers, dog track rabbits, Jal Alai Masseurs and golf pros. And they know as much as the rest of the experts. With the season an appropriate 13 days away, the nonsensus of Fearless Fraley’s forecast comes out this way: National League American League 1. Boston Boston 2. Brooklyn New York 3. St Ixruis Detroit 3. New York Cleveland 5. Pittsburgh Philadelphia 4. Cincinnati Washington 7. Chicago Chicago 8. Philadelphia St Louis Taking the American league first, let’s look them over: Boston - McCarthy has plenty of push buttons and his Index finger is going to get a terrific workout The stuff’s there, Buster. New York Pitching wboas Detroit Good pitch, no hit. no pennant. Cleveland -A darkhorse. Philadelphia—A blackhorse. Washington- In the District of Columbia. Chicago—ln a tough race, for last. St Ixvuis—loo to I. and the price Is still too short. National League Boston - Southworth Is overdue In spring training his charts showed what his players did a week from Wednesday. Why not in October? Brooklyn -The one to watch. St. Louie- Yearlings could make it a triple dead heat. New York. No fling wing, a Shanghai slugger with a glass jaw Pittsburgh - Money Isn’t everything. Cincinnati- Improved, but not enough. Chicago- There are clubs, and Cubs. Philadelphia—Believe Ren Chapmat!: “The only place to pick as to finish last." And there you have it. except for the rather essential matter of 154 games each which undoubtedly makes everybody but the Braves
