IT was terrible weather for golf Saturday, and ditto Sunday, but out at Highland on Saturday two teams. 35 each, battled away in the season’s opening event. Dinner for the winning team was at stake. The gang captained by J. C. Considine won a three-point victory over the bunch captained by Bill Umphrey. The score was 33 to 35. an Went on a tour of Inspection with Ralph Young. member of the municipal Rolf board of directors and Arthur G. Lockwood, municipal golf superintendent, and took a look at Riverside and South Grove. Young. Is the gentleman who has the reputation of doing things In a big building wav at Highland- Lockwood, since taking the reins of the city courses, has been doing as much as a public system will permit. Russell Stonehouse. course pro as Riverside. 'told us for the first time la years the shop at Riverside, where he builds c.ubs. repairs them and other work, got its first coat of white paint. OSO Took a look at the sixteen green, bugaboo to the Rivers.de players the past couple of years. The players are still putting on the postage stamp on the fairway. It was admitted the members are right, when they say that temporary green is deplorable to any goli course. Lockwood and Young looked cioseiy. They estimated carefully. The big Erven built to catch the pitch shot on hole sixteen, which you have looked at for so long, but merely passed up as something you hardly ever anticipated using any length of time until It will go bad again, will be opened for play the first week in June. And opened for the season. Lockwood said. Yes. we know you have been told that before, but Lockwood said ha would wager his life on his statement, if wo would just give him until June 1. and throw on a little decent weather. That also applies to No. 3 green. 000 Then down to South Grove. That ditch along number eleven, or where the ditch was. looks better. Some day a natural gieen to take a long pitch and the tee moved oacit. will wane mat a great gou no. 16 Is being reoulit. The terraces [have been removed. The back part has (been dropped down. Harry Schopp did a good job on the third green. The new 16 will be Just as good. As for No. 8, j well, something will be done about that, j too, we were told to tell members of South Grove club, but not this year. After some discussion it was regarded impracticable to tear up at this time of year. It was agreed tire members of the South Grove c.ub are right. There isn’t very much cup space on that green.- It must be hard to putt on. And something should be done about those bad boards sn the bridge before tome one breaks a leg. Yes. the water is low, we ll admit Mr. brown, but the boards are bad anyway. . 0 0 0 Young and Lockwood looked over the course considering from the standpoint of rearranging the play rotation of the holes. They want to get more yardage on the first, nine, at least the first few holes to enable players to tee off faster, also to permit play to string along more uniform, without a Jam up at each tee. Other plans were considered besides the one submitted* by the South Grove club. All of them will be figured out by director Lockwood. The golf advisory board will be called upon to o. k. them when he gets them figured out. Something Is going to be done, however. 000

THERE appears to be much labor being done by the work- j men on the various courses, what there are of them. Four to an eighteen-hole course, can you imagine that? Private courses have eight men at the minimum, we are told. Yes, and we learned all the money charged to the upkeep of a golf course does not go to pay salaries of men who cut fairways, top dress greens, smooth the putting surfaces and other course maintenance work. The eight men at private clubs work on the courses. They are not rangers, tickets sellers. Janitors and what not. Looks to us like these golf club houses are sort ol community houses. Why charge the maintenence of them against the upkeep of the golf course? Think that over. Dr. Diddel. Mr. Lenr.ox. Mr. Sam Mueller and Mr. Young. Then let’s hear you Mr. Diddel. Mr. Lennox. Mrs. Sam Mueller speak yeur piece to the park board and mayor. The municipal goir courses can’t improve with a hundred directors under the present svstem. Laborers are needed. Plenty of them in the soring and fall. And don’t forget some sand for top dressing. not gravel. tt a 8 South Grove members engaged in a straight scoring tournament Saturday and Sunday. Dave Mitchell eased into first place with a 75. The prize going to the player in fourth position was taken by Harold Strickland. In between, however, was George Petersen with a 77, and Ray Atistermlller with a 79. L. D. Sisson, Charles Cook and Francis Hunter finished in a tie for eighth position and divided the prize, while Kenneth Loucks finished in twelfth position for the prize.

MATE, TWENTY GRAND SHARE DERBY FAVORITISM

Classic Rivals Finish One-Two in Preakness Equipoise Loses Favor After Finishing Fourth Behind Ladder in $50,000 Event Saturday; Small Field Expected in Kentucky Race. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, May 11.—Mate and Twenty Grand—one, two in the Preakness Saturday at Pimlico—today shared the position of joint favorites for the fifty-seventh running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs next Saturday. After Mate’s victory in the Preakness, Tom Kearney, St. Louis betting commissioner, lowered odds on A. C. Bostwick’s colt from 7 to 1 to 2% to 1. The odds on Twenty Grand, a length and a half behind Mate, were dropped from 4 to 1 to 2% to 1. For the first time since the Derby nominations were made public Equipoise has not occupied or shared the favorite’s position. The result of the Preakness, in which Equipoise ran fourth, just about established the fact that the C. V. Whitney colt, which was a star as a 2-year-old, does not belong in fast company among the 3-year-olds.

Derby Odds By United free* ST. LOUIS, May 11.—Tom Kearney, St. Louis bookmaker, today quoted A. C.

Mate’s feat in winning the Preakness hasn’t boosted his stock any among horse players who remember that no prominent 3-year-old has run two winning races in succession this season. There also is the fact that only two horses — Sir Barton in 1919 and Gallant Fox in 1930—have been able to win both the Preakness and the Derby over a span of fifty-six years. This, however, does not mean that Mate can’t. Twenty Grand Bumped Twenty Grand’s race in the Preakness seems to make this Greentree stable entry more dangerous than ever before for the Derby. Twenty Grand was badly bumped and knocked off his stride early in the race, but recovered only to be blocked by his stablemate, Surf Board, at the head of the stretch. Twenty Grand is not a horse to be counted out of the running because he was beaten by Mate, but rather looks like the horse that must be beaten in the longer mile and a quarter Derby. From present indications the Derby field may possibly be the smallest since 1926 when only thirteen horses went to the post. Those reasonably sure to start from the east are Mate, Twenty Grand, Surf Board, Equipoise, Ladder and Anchors Aweigh. The west’s six leading candidates appear to be Pittsburgher, Insco, Spanish Play, Sweep All, Boys Howdy and Prince d’Amour. The Croftons will attempt to qualify Up, winner of the Agua Caliente Derby, in the Tyler Hotel handicap over the mile rotue at Churchill Downs today. Bradley Entry Out Colonel E. R. Bradley, who has two Derby victories to his credit, will not be represented in this year’s race. B’ar Hunter, Bradley’s, chief Derby hope, injured himself in a race at Churchill Downs Friday and he has been taken out of training. Barometer, his other entry, failed to round into the form expected. A race that will hold the interest of all Derby followers will take place today at Jamaica, where Morstone, unheralded and unsung son of Morvich, will run a mile and seventy yards. Victorious in his only two starts, Morstone will be the Derby “dark horse” if he shows any class in this test. Until May 1, Morstone never had been to the post in any race.

Eastern Clubs Pile Up Big Edge Over Rivals; Red Sox Surprise

' BY LEO H.

Representatives of the Atlantic seaboard in the American League have won six of the seven games against their western rivals while in the National circuit the east has been victorious in three of four contests.

Tribe Takes Two in Three of Wild Series By Times Special MILWAUKEE, May I.—Taking two out of three from the Brewers over the week-end in diamond contests that resembled cricket, the Indians of Johnny Corriden were in Kansas City today to engage the Blues in a four-game set to conclude their first swing around the western half of the circuit. The base hit bombardment was launened here Saturday after the Tribesmen had been idle four days and the week-end was a nightmare for pitchers of both teams.

Indianapolis annexed the Saturday tilt, 14 to 9, dropped the opener Sunday, 15 to 10, and captured the Sabbath nightcap, 13 to 11. At one time in the first fray of Sunday’s twin bill, the Corridenites held a 6-to-0 lead, only to see their mound staff collapse and take a licking. Five Tribe hurlers were used Saturday and five again in the curtain conflict Sunday. Hildebrand was compelled to go the route alone in the series finale and his mates rallied with the bludgeon to save his hide. It was a big parade of runs all afternoon, the Brewers scoring five in the ninth as a farewell to the weird week-end. Cvengros got credit for the Saturday victory, although knocked out, and Burweli, in the relief role, was charged with the defeat in the opening encounter Sunday. The Indians collected thirtyseven runs in the three games and forty-two hits. Eleven Tribe hurlers saw service and Milwaukee used the same number of flingers, scoring thirty-five runs and collecting thir-ty-six hits. Extra base safeties by both teams were common. Fiftyfive hits were amassed by the teams in the double-header. Tribe Batting Figures AB. H.

Indiana Is Contender i Hoosier Track Team Shares Choice With Badgers, Ohio State, By United Press CHICAGO, May 11:—Ohio State’s strength in track events and Wisconsin’s power in field events' today promised to make those two schools favorites in the battle for the Big Ten track and field championship at Evanston, May 22 and 23.
