The formation of such a league, composed of eight or ten colleges, would undoubtedly result in a strong organization and would benefit the colleges holding membership. It is belived the proposition would meet with the approval of all Wabash alumni and former students. The new association would, it is planned, take in the institutions outside the western conference that have shown unusual strength in athletics.

Then they turned their attention from the limited class of championship highbrows and devoted all their time to planning a rosy week for the great mass of golf players who never win a championship but hava made the game what it is today. For them there will be blind par handicaps, handicap sweepstakes, father and son tournament, play for men over fifty years of age. in short some sort *of play for every neverchamp who has used ten strokes and shattered innumerable clubs and the Ten Commandments on getting back tn tbs general vicinity of the fairway.

kept and fast surfaces, where par 16 seven and sometimes eleven, and the hazards are natural as well as mental.

Old Guard Will Be Surprised. The old guard that played at Ko-

komo hack fn 1815 will find little in the present course to remind them of the old camping grounds. With the express intention of making the course the beat in Indiana, the Kokomo Country Club had Tom Bendelow, one of the best golf architects in America, do his best—and worst. Me did. And now it takes a real golfer to get away with it. The course has been constructed to place head power above arm power. In other words, the player who can place ’em where he wants 'em will beat the boy who hit* ’em a mile and never minds

the roll.

Sand traps, sand islands, sand banks, sand dunss. bunkers, banks, brooks and bridges are scattered around with s scientific carelessness that has been known to make strong men wsep snd wesk men strong—in

language. It’s some course. Ed Will Start ’Em Off.

For this vary reason the Kokomo Country Club extends a welcome to any one who desires to play the Course snd make a reconnaisance of the battlefield before the big July push any time before the tournament. As new as is the course, as novel as will be the stunts, one feature’ of past tournaments will, remain unchanged. Ed Hedden. of Riverside, without whom a tournament could not start, will do the starting. Just who will do the finishing? Well, there’s Burr Swesey. of Marion, the present champ; Johnny Sim peon, Her^an Sleiken Burt Wilbur. Boh Raeensr.

NEW YORK, April 18.—Baseball rounds Into the second week with the Pirates leading the National League and the Red Sox and White Sox splitting the honor in the American

League.

Figures for last week, including Sunday’s games, show* that George Gibson is running his Firatts along on merits, but that ths American League leaders are not entitled to their place. 1 * The Pirates are getting good pitch

ing, hitting the half and playing a tight defensive game. They have made forty-one hits, second to the Cardinals, with forty-three hits. They made only four errors and per

Pitcherf Fell Devre.

The Cubs and Giants are in the collar where they belong on the clans of ball they have been playing. The first string of pitchers of both clubs have failed them miserably. The showing of the Boston Braves and the Phils easily was the feature

of the first week.

Cleveland^ belongs in first place in the American League. Trls Speaker's Indians In all-round baseball were easily the class of the league. They lead In the number of runs with twenty, in the number of hits with thirty-five, least in srrors with one.

The Red Sox have no business at the top of the ladder and they are not likely to remain there very long. Outside of the Yankees they had the weakest hitting club in the league.

Think! There is little real depreciation in a good used car. A guaranteed Twin Six gives you the same distinction—the same service—the same masterful, economical power as when new. Yet materials and labor have so advanced that it

couldn't be built today for the original ■

selling price—and the reduction in the original price is out of aU proportion to the wear. This double saving makes every used Packard we offer an exceptional value. These Packards will be equipped with the new Fuelizer, a most wonderful invention. The following is only a sample of the bargains we have
