It Is reasonable to believe that nearly the same number were played on the six privately owned courses. To argue that golf is not popular stirs up the bugs. R. Walter Jarvis, superintendent of parks, while not a golf player is an ardent fan. His list of professionals, shows the degree of care he took in selecting the men who will develop the beginners. Harry Schopp, ,vho has probably trained more beginners than any, is again at the South Grove course. Wally Nelson, is at Pleasant Run; George Stark, at Coffin and Chick Nelson, who was at Kokomo Country Club last year has been signed at Riverside. APID growth of Coffin and Riverside, resulted in the . separation of the two courses and pros being placed in oharge, of each. Jarvis said he felt the move was for the betterment of the courses and player. This is what he has to say about the situation. “Our conservative estimate is that 360,000 games of golf were played on our municipal courses last season. Season tickets were sold to 1,267 persons and 82,364 games were played on daily tickets. This indeed is a revelation of the sport’s popularity. “We are striving to make Indianapolis first in municipal golf and are preparing for a record season. Harry Schopp, who has been at the South Grove course for years, will tell you how to play the course in this column tomorrow. Several changes have been made in the course to make it uniform in length and sportier than ever.

TRIBE GAME (Continued From Page 22) a line triple to deep center and Frank Henry did likewise. Riggs Stephenson from Alabama smacked a single and home run. He leaned against one of Henry’s portside offerings and gave the ball a ride far over the left field fence into the wildwood. It was a murderous wallop. Walter Holke got two singles and walked once, and Klugman came tjirough with a single and a double. A brilliant running catch by Matthews was the fielding feature. Manager Bush played shortstop and miscued only once. He had not much to do, but filled in admirably, excepting at the plate, where he lacked practice. Seven hits w'ere registered off Burwell in’ three innings and seven off Thompson in three. Henry was touched for four safeties in three Innings and Schemanske, six in three. Walter Relig was a casualty during practice, but was taped up by Trainer Pierce and was able to play third base for Bush’s misfits. Rehg’s left knee gave way on him when his spikes stuck as he was fielding a sharp grounder. One double play was made, Sicking to Schreiber to Holke. Henry fanned tiiree men and made one wild pitch. Schemanske struck out three, walked three and made one wild heave. Burwell fanned two and walked one. Thompson fanned three. Stephenson was the victim of Matthew’s brilliant catch in the third stanza. Riggs drove a liner to deep left center and Matty snared it with one hand while galloping hard. Matty went hitless in four trips to the plate and grieved deeply. Joe Wyatt got one hit, popped out once and struck out twice. Manager Bush made fancy plays on two hard driven balls. At bat he fanned once and popped out twice. He let Trainer Pierce bat for him once, and Jim breezed. The scrub game Thursday put some pepper into the spring training and broke the monotony of practice. More of the same tilts probably will be staged. Eddie Sicking’s salary arm Is bothering him again. It gave him much pain once Thursday when he made a quick throw to first after scooping a ground liner near second.

MELLILO, A. A. RECRUIT, UPSETS SISLER’S PLANS Former Milwaukee Star Steps Right Out and Makes Strong Bid for Job on Browns. By Billy Evans TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., April 2. —One Oscar Mcllilo has upset considerably the plans of Manager George Sisler of the St. Louis Browns. By way of introduction, Mcllilo is a second baseman. lie starred with Milwaukee in the American Association last year.

When Sisler cam© South to condition his athletes for the 1926 race it seemed a certainty that Gene Robertson would play third, Walter Gerber short. Marty McManus second, while Manager Sisler would cavort around first. It is just possible that his infield will line up that way when the season opens but at present It is the most unsettled part of the entire team. Mellilo early showed brilliance in the field but did nothing sensational at the bat. Slugs Ball When it seemed as if his batting was too light to furnish serious competition for Marty McManus, he began to slug the ball all over the lot. In a game I saw him play against Brooklyn, he made four clean drives for a base or better. So, instead of having no worries over his infield, Manager Sisler has been forced to do considerable experimenting. He has been using both McManus and Robertson at third base. That is Robertson’s regular Job. „ When McManus came to the American League it w r as as a third baseman. He did fairly well but was soon shifted to second and at once took to the new position. He is now rated as one of the best players in the American League around the keystone sack. Second base has always been Mellilo’s forte. It Is the one place in the Infield that he can play. His great showing in the spring made it necessary for Sisler to shift his combinations. Desirous of retaining the batting power of McManus, Sisler has used him at third. While I am sure McManus would much prefer playing second, he is behaving like a good soldier and giving the club his very best at the difficult corner. If Mellilo forces McManus off second and McManus wins the Job at third, it will relegate one of the best men in the league at that bag to the bench, Gene Robertson.

Likes to Play Mellilo can field and he likes to play baseball. I would rate him a sure enough big leaguer. His ability to consistently hit big league pitching can only be proved in actual competition. Mellilo Is sure to be popular in St. Louis. The fans will like his style. Regardless of whether he wins a regular berth or merely plays utility roles, he will be out there giving his best. There are only a few players of Italian birth in the major leagues. Mellilo is one of them. A goodly portion of the fans in St. Louis are Italians. So when Mellilo pulls a BERLENBACH - DELANEY Rickard Announces First Big Outdoor Bout for June.
