International League to Open Flag Race Wednesday

All Clubs Claim Greater Strength; Close Battle Expected. NEWARK LOOKS GOOD Rochester Rated Contender tor Bunting. I BY FRED TURBYVILLE (Written for the United Press) NEw x Ofuv, April Vl. —Tne International League, with one of the best collections of high-priced talent in its history, will open the 1928 season Wednesday afternoon. With every club in the league claiming greater strength, one of the closest races in recent years is predicted this season. Every club boasts of at least one former major league star, while several clubs have as many as five piayers who were in the big leagues last season. The Newark club has perhaps the most pretentious list of high-priced talent. Numbered among the stars on the Newark team are Walter Johnson, manager of the club; Jacques Fournier, Bill Lamar, Hugh McQuillan and Rube Lutzke. Buffalo, 1927 winner, lost Andy Cohen, Del Bissonette, A1 Tyson and Leo Mangum, but has added Nick Cullop, Gus Felix, Moore, Barrett and Thomas. Jack Dunn, manager of the Baltimore Orioles, has added Leo Dixon and Stewart Bolen from the majors to his club. Rochester, under the management of Billy Southworth, has recruited a strong team from the St. Louis Cardinals’ army of ball players. Johnny Mokan, formerly of the Phillies, has a place in the Red Wings’ outfield, and Herman Bell is a member of the pitching staff. The veteran Hank Gowdy is coach and extra catcher. Rochester has the bulk of the 1927 Syracuse team and is rated a pennant contender. Toronto has Hankins, Doyle, Collins and Songer back from the majors. George Stallings has assembled a hustling team at Montreal. Jersey City, under Frank Gilhooley, has a likely looking combination. The Skeeters have perhaps the best catching staff in the league in Devine from Buffalo and ; Head. Jimmy Walsh, back from Indianapolis, looks good. Reading, one of the worst teams In baseball the past two seasons, looks good this spring, and if the Chicago Cubs send along a few pitchers, Harry Hinchman may get Reading out of the rut. Handstand Act on ‘Y’ Program Expert handstand performers and other gymnasts, including tumblers, are contributing to make the Y. M. C. A. annual circus an interesting event. All acts are trained in the ‘Y” gym, which offers expert gymnastic work as a part of its program for members. Performances will be open to the public and begin at 8 p. m„ Friday and Saturday, April 20 and 21. The circus is directed by R. L. Konecke, physical director of the “Y,” assisted by Leon Teetor and Oran Miller. Paul Chapman is ring master. The program is under the auspices of the Senior Leaders’ corps of the Y M. C. A. MAY MEET CHAMPION Bn United Prefix NEW YORK, April 17.—Sergeant Sammy Baker of Mitchel Field may be given a chance against Joe Dundee, welterweight champion, as the result of the soldier boy’s victory over Billy Alger in ten rounds at the St. Nicholas arena Monday night.

r "j”'HE open season for “holes in one” is here. Although we never have been able to learn why we were swamped -with attested score cards during the 1927 season bearing information that several local fairway shinny stars had crashed the gutta percha, Lindbergh style, tee to cup in one effort, we promise as a series opener that pictures of all such ultra lucky characters will appear in this column this season, providing: That the score card, attested by the other players in the match and the course pro, is mailed to this desk. Also that the picture of the alleged hero or lucky person be with the score card. Os course we expect the picture to be sent in. We trust that it is not asking too much of any person who knows of a friend golfer who has crashed into the hall of fame, to send in a photo. u ;* a SUNSHINE of Monday brought forth a desire to see in what shape the playgrounds for the thousands of municipal golfers were in for the 1928 season. We hurried to South Grove where our old friend Harry Schopp was on the job to greet us. Harry said he was doing the greeting act for the twentythird annual time. “The courses are in great shape,” Harry confided. “The seven new built-up greens psst in year before last are reaching the hardy stage and will stand the onslaught of the 80,000 times they will be played over this year.” Harry informed us that 80,600 rounds of golf were played at that course in 1927.

“By the way,” added Harry, “let me tell you something about the Douglass Park course. It’s the only course of its kind in the country, for it’s for Negroes exclusively, has nine of the best builtup greens that you ever could wish on a municipal course built in such a short time. Good fair-

ways, some dog legged, and on ground rolling enough to make interesting play, the course should attract considerable attention from the Negro citizens of the city.” There will be no fee assessed for play on the course this season, Schopp said. Harry’s conversation at this point drifted to the south side Sarah Shank course on which he has been working for nearly two years. “We should have that course open within a few weeks. Reduction of the park board budget made it impos-

sible to get labor on the course with the result that progress had been hampered. Bridges over the s .reams and ravines on the course are needed before it is ready for use.” tX tt tt RUSSELL STONEHOUSE th e younger of the two brothers, is new pro at Riverside. Russell shoots a good game. He is very much interested in his work. Beginners at the game are certain to get more than the usual amount of attention from him. His knowledge

of the sport dates back to the days of caddying. That was at the Indianapolis Country Club. He was at the new Highland Golf and Country Club as assistant pro and caddy master His knowledge of club building and repairing was gained there and at the Shelbyville Country Club where he served as pro last

year. Russell had anew contract in his pocket to serve as pro at a northern Indiana city when he accepted the opportunity to get the place at Riverside. The past winter he played in the Florida and California open tournaments. He comes back home again with the best wishes of the veteran golfers.
