Raw Weather in K. C. for Home Opener Leading Blues Set to Lift Lid With Indians as Opponents. By Tun rtf Sprrint KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 2.—lt I looked bad here this morning for ! baseball this afternoon as Eddie | Zwilling’s Blues prepared to open their home season a f Muehlebach field with Bruno Betzel's Indians as opponents. Weather was raw and \ constantly threatening, i Tom Sheehan was slated to face the champions on the mound arid Bill Burwell was the likely Tribe choice despite the fact his throw - j ing hand, injured recently, still bothers him slightly. Ferd Schupp, veteran southpaw, has a sore arm. Manager Betzel reported, otherwise he probaly would pitch the local lid lifter for the visitors. “Fans’ night" was held at Convention hall Wednesday and about 10.000 loyal Blue supporters were on hand to steam things up for today’s contest. Zwilling has his club leading the A. A. with ten games won and only two lost and K. C. rooters already have contracted the pennant fever. Civic clubs attended in a body and city, county and state officials occupied stage boxes. Eleven acts of vaudeville supplied the “side" entertainment to keep the baseball fans “pepped up.” Everything was .free, it was the first “fans’ night" ever held here and takes the place of the opening day parade and other pre-game ceremonies, and there was not a thing to worry the athletes today but to get plenty of sleep and rest this morning and get out there this afternon and start the battle.

e Shooting Par J S gj ?_ BY - Dirk MILLER.

T? DWARD GATES of the Fletcher 12/ Savings and Trust Company was sitting near the first tee at South Grove recently discussing current events with Harry Schopp, veteran course manager. “You know r ," said Gates, “when a man steps up to the first tee at a golf course to drive, he sheds his social importance, his financial rating and whatever prestige he may have acquired in minor activities. He may be a power in the w'orld of thought but a joke to his caddy. He is merely what his golf card shows him to be. It, matters not if he wear red plaid socks and plus fours." ean That little passage giving the ideas of one man about golf probably is the identiral thought of hundreds of others. Still there are many who know nothing about golf and probably would be attracted by a bulletin, such as the following, we noticed adorning the walls of the Woodstock caddy house when we went to call on Fred Schopp. club pro. Freddy gladly told us we could re-print it. saa What Is This Golf Golf is a. form of work made expensive enough for a rich man to enjov it. It is physical and mental exertion made attractive bv the fact that you have to dress for it in a $200,000 clubhouse. Golf is what, letter carrying, ditch-dig-ging and canjet beating would be of these three tasks had to be performed on the same hot afternoon in snort pants and colored socks by goutv-looking gentlemen who required a different implement for every mood. Golf is the simplest looking game in the world when you decide to take it up and Ihe toughest looking after you have been at it for ten or twelve years. It is a game a man can play as long as a quarter of a century and then decide that it was too deep for him in the first place. The game is played on carefully selected grass with little white balls and as many clubs as the player can afford. These balls cost froc, 75c and up. and it is possible to support a family of ten people 1 all adults, for five months on the money represented by the balls lost by some players in a single afternoon. A golf course has eighteen holes, seventeen of which are unnecessary and put in to make the game harded. A "hole" is a tin cup in the center of a "green." A • green is a small parcel of grass costing about $1 99 a blade and usually located Between a brook and a couple of apple trees or a lot of unfinished excavations. The idea is to get the golf hall from a given point into each of the eighteen cups In the fewest strokes and the greatest number of words. The ball must not be th-own. pushed nor carried. It must be propelled by about S2OO worth of curious looking implements, especially designed to provoke the owner. Each implement has a specific purpose and ultimately some golfers learn what tha' purpose is. but they are exceptions. After each hole has been completed the golfer counts his strokes, substracts TO SELECT CHAMPION Tournn to Decide New Amateur Titiist; Howard Is Disqualified. All ( 11 ited fnrs NEW YORK.

Great Array of Athletes to Compete in Big WeekEnd Event. ELDER IN SHORT DASH Butler to Participate in Long Relay. BV HARRY SHARPE United Press Staff Correspondent COLUMBUS. 0.. May 2.--A great array of athletic prowess is in prospect for the sixth annual. Ohio relays at Ohio State university here Friday and Saturday. A few formidable stars will be missing, but with these exceptions I 2.500 athletes, the cream of elemen- | tary, scholastic and collegiate tracks i will compete. The invitation 100-yard dash continued to hold the spotlight today, with the Buckeyes reposing their hopes in George Simpson, the fleet Ohio dashman. Plenty of Competition Simpson's competition, however, will be provided by a combination of some of the fastest, century men in the country'—namely Judd Timm I of Illinois. Jack Elder of Notre Dame and Pete Brown of Pittsburgh. Pete Rasmus of Ohio State and John Anderson of Cornell, the Olympic star who outdistanced Rasmus at the Penn Relays last Saturday. will seek anew discuss record.

Todd Strong Contender In the Triathlon, the all-round weight competitoin, Morris of Haverford and Todd of Indiana are contenders with Harold Dunn of Toledo university a dangerous threat. The four-mile relay is expected to be a stiff three-way battle between Butler. Illinois and Indiana. Michigan and lowa will be the only western conference schools not represented. They will engage in a dual meet due to their failure to compromise on a postponement requested by Ohio State.

six and savs “Made that in five, one over par. Shall we play lor 50 cents on the next hole too?" After the eighteenth hole the golfer adds up his score and stops when he has. reached eighty-seven. He then has a swim, a pint of gin. singe “Sweet Adeline" with stx or eight other liars, and calls it the end of a prfet day. b a a Golf is a funny game and many a joke has been pulled about the “goli widow.” Jack Crawford, president of the South Grove club, was rather late getting “around” one evening recently. As he trudged into the clubhouse. Washburn, the starter, was busy counting up the day's receipts and Harry Schopp was perusing over some books. Schoop tells this one on Jack. “He fumbled nervously through his knicker pockets for a nickel to call home and explain his lateness. After he had dropped the coin and dialed the number, Jack was seen to slam up the receiver and reach for his nickel as it fell into the slot. As he walked past Schoop to the dressing room, he was heard to mumble: “Why call? I might as well wait until I get there and catch hell only once!" 808 A bunch of th* city hospital omhave been slipping out to South Grove after work for a try at the confine Misses M. Myers. R.
