COURSE ARCHITECTS 111 GOLF RACE WITH

Chips and Slips

Br FKAKK G. MKXKE A rather unique situation presents Itself within golfdom, where course

architects now are engaged in a fever

ish race with equipment makers. Everyone with some vestige of au

thoritjr in the game constantly insists thi the game is too easy that the courses should be made' longer and

more difficult. And presto, the next

season finds the thing done through

the medium of lengthened and more

difficult courses

Thereupon, comes a yowl from the

average player. He's all steamed up over the new trap3 that were built, the

new distances and the other new hazards which nave killed his 85 or 90 game and chased him up to a "best game" around 95 or 100. Then the ball maker and the club manufacturer steps in and says: "Calm your gentle souls; we will succor you." Thereupon the equipment makers at once comcoct balls and sticks designed to get greater distances and so restore to the golfer the 85 and 90 game which contents him. It's like a merry-go-round. Set Ball Standard.

The dominating factors in the gamej

finally have become smarted up to the deplorable racing condition. They realize something must be done to standardize balls, clubs and courses, or everything will become increasingly chaotic. .' A year ago the boss golfers settled upon a 1.62 ball for tournament play. That meant a globule 1.62 inches in diameter and 1.62 in bulk. It was assumed that such a ball would eliminate all the trouble. But not so. . -

tor u was rouna uirougn iyn ana, M see our jeweied fisn swlm

facturers adhereci to the 1.62 standard they are frisking around a bit with the internals of the ball. $ A brace of golfers stepped on to a mound one afternoon, each using the standard ball. One man outdrove the other by 50 yards. He repeated on the next tee and continued to outdrive his rival all the way. That annoyed his foeman, who always had prided himself upon being a better driver. After the game was over the beaten man asked the victor for his ball. He got it, and cut it in half. Then he chopped the one he had been using. The reason for the difference in driving then became apparent. The loser's ball contained a bulky core of loosely . wound rubber; the winner's ball had a smaller rubber core, but one which was intensely wound just the type of core which was splendidly made for distance

work. Examine Contents Golf dignitaries now are making an examination of the contents of all standardized balls. They have found some peculiar and freak windings all made so as to cheat the purpose

of the architect who lengthened the course so as to make it more difficult. "Our findings," said one of the leaders, "will be reported at the winter meeting. And with those findings will go a recommendation as to standardization of the contents of the ball. We assumed a year ago when ruling

JIM THORPE STILL

HARSH MEASURES Have been taken by Manager-Owner McGraw by the Giants to bring Catcher Earl Smith to a realization of the error of his ways. This kid catcher, who was the sensation of the year back in .1918, was suspended indefinitely recently by McGraw for failure to keep in condition.

This after lesser punishment and fath

erly advice had failed to turn the

trick.

It is unfortunate that Smith to

whom fate has been kind should choose to abuse the chance he has

had to mako a name for himself. . In the spring of 1918 Smith was' a free-agent out of a job. Nothing else to do, he asked permission of Manager Robinson of the Dodgers to work out with the Brooklyn club, training at Hot Springs, Ark., Smith's home town, that spring. He made such a

hit with Uncle Robby that the fat pilot urged Owner Ebbets to sign him. Ebbets couldn't hear. Along came Arthur Irwin, boss of the Rochester International league club, and to him Robbie expressed his views on Smith. Irwin signed Smith. When fall rolled around Smith had done such phenomnael work behind the plate and at bat for Irwin that John McGraw asked Irwin to set a price on the youngster. Irwin didn't want to let the lad go soi asked for seven good ball players and enough dough to sweeten the Rochester club's drawing account. Medraw sent the players and check before Arthur could

change his mind. Under McGraw's tutelage Smith

added big league finesse to his accomplishments and soon forced McGraw to consider him as a regular even with the veteran Snyder, Lew McCarty and Mike Gonzales on the team. In 1920

Smith played in 91 contests and last I

season into 89. But apparently sue cess turned his head.

(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, June 15 Jim Thorpe has dropped another notch down the scale in his checkered baseball career but the famous Indian athlete still retains the spectacular ability that won him world honors as an all-around athlete. Yesterday in his debut with the Hartford. Conn., club, of the Eastern league, the versatile redskin was the individual star of a 12-inning game

which his team won, 4 to 3, from Springfield, Mass. He clouted out five hits, including a double, in six times at bat, scored a run, registered a stolen base and started a double play after a brilliant outfield catch, as his share in the victory.

Thorpe earlier in the season was shifted from the Toledo club of the

American association, to Portland, in the Pacific Coast league. Recently he was given his unconditional release and was signed by Hartford. Last Reason Thorpe played with Toledo in the American association. Leading his team and ranking sixth in the league batting list at the end of the aeason, with a percentage of .358 for 133 games, his work included 34 stolen bases and nine home runs.

To the People of Wayne and Preble Counties:

The people of Richmond and vicinity are planning for the grandest 4th o' July celebration these parts have seen in many years. Every one of you is invited to come to. Richmond that day and celebrate with us the historic event which made America free. Great preparations are being made for your entertainment. The program will start in the morning and last through the afternoon and evening. A Grand Fire Works Display of 153 beautiful pieces will be presented in the evening. There

will be band concerts all day with

sports and exercises for children

and grown-ups. Don't leave the children at home. This is their day. Everything will take place in

beautiful Glen Miller Park on the east end of Richmond. Thousands

of picnic parties have enjoyed the

natural beauties of Glen Miller

park. The fireworks will be set off on Roosevelt Field where there

. is a natural outdoor theatre which

will accommodate 50,000 people. If you don't celebrate the 4th in Richmond you will miss the time of your life. Have the wife get a big

lunch ready, fill the gasoline tank

put an American Flag on the radiator, pack the kids in the rear seat and enjoy the day with us. If the fireworks cannot be setoff because of stormy weather, they will be displayed on the next fair day. We are going to celebrate anyway. I have said this is the children's day. We must teach patriotism and love of country to our children. We must bring them up knowing the history of these United States. The Declaration of Independence still is the inspiration of every patriot. Bring the children

by all means and help them to celebrate as every American boy and girl ought. So, folks, spent 4th o July In Richmond. The all day entertainment will be absolutely free. The people of Richmond have raised a

TIMELY HINTS

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Get weeds when they're young. Chinch bugs will start for the corn early in July. Make a barrier. Only infertile eggs keep well in summer. Swat the rooster! More than 15,000 herds, representing 326,000 cattle, are now

government accredited as free from tuberculosis. Light-painted kitchens catch the sunlight and seem to lighten labor. If a hen lays 18 eggs in June, she's done her share, say poultry scientists. Shallow-cultivated corn does best, Ohio experiments show. The teacher, the preacher, and the editor are mighty important people in a country community, and a little recognition of this will do no harm.

A Self-Blanching Celery Planted in a very rich soil and set 8 inches each way in a bed 4 by 4 feet or larger, you can grow good White Plume celery and have it blanch itself, except that you must place boards up against the outside all around. This method will require very heavy fertilizing and heavy watering when the soil is dry. So much top growth on the small plot of ground calls for plenty of nitrogen. Well-rotted (manure should form the main supply of fertilizer. Cow manure need not be much decayed, if it is finely pulverized, and, sheep or poultry manure can be used, if well pulverized and mixed with the soil. Nitrate

of soda is a good quick-acting fertilizer for top-dressings during the active growth, and I used bone meal quite freely when setting the plants. It is not necessary to set the bed

until June but it may be planted as soon as plants are ready. Cultivate well at first but after the plants fully shade the soil and roots

show on the surface do not stir the soil. Top-dressing with an almost rotted strawy manure into which some bone meal and poultry droppings have been mixed will give good results then.

ural milk, sweet or sour, or in the shape of cottage cheese, is not available, some of the prepared dry buttermilk foods should be provid

ed. They may now be obtained at

almost any feed or supply store

These June, July and August hatched chicks may be made to show nearly as much profit as the

earlier ones if properly and suc

cessfully handled and where the

poultry is raised largely for the home table the males as broilers

or roasters during September, Oc

tober and November will certainly be welcomed. The pullots will usually come into full laying in the

spring at a time when the earlier hatched ones are slacking up in

their egg production

Soybeans on Every Farm "Some soybeans on every farm In White county" has been the slogan during April and May in White county. As their part of the campaign, the farm bureau has purchased soybeans and is distributing four-pound packages of Ito Sans and Hollybrooks toevery farmer in the county who has never grown soybeans. This is about enough to plant one acre in the corn. They figure that if a man once tried them he will always use them.

hatched chicks to fill out their

quota or number and if care is taken with them and a range given them as suggested there is no reason why they may not prove quite profitable, especially so since the first cost is usually considerably less than tho cost of the earlier hatched.

Care of Summer Chicks

A Separate Range, With Shade and Moist Soil, Highy Desirable.

With proper treatment the later spring and summer chicks may be ! as easily and successfully raised as the earlier ones and with nearly! equal profit. The error most fre-j quently made by those desiring toi raise these chicks and the one which is almost sure to mean a heavy loss, is in placing these young chicks on the same range on which the earlier and older ones

are being raised. This should never be done if it is possible to avoid it and it is usually easily avoided. Place the quarters for these chicks on an entirely new and uncontaminated range where there is an abundance of shade and loose soil covering a good portion of the range. An ideal location is the small berry patch or plot. Usually this has been cultivated to some extent during the spring months and

the soil is loose and moist. The! npw prnwth nf vinps has Hpvelnnorl I

by June 15 or July 1 to such an extent that the ground is well shaded and here in this moist earth is an abundance of insects which will interest the chicks and keep them busy. Another location for their range is in a plot of corn in which rape has been thinly sown early in the season. The corn alone will answer and afford a good range but the shade will not be dense enough to retain the moisture in the soil during a long dry spell so well as with the rape. The requisites for the best success in rearing the summer chicks may be summed up as follows. A

clean now range to which no other

chicks or fowls have access, plenty

of shade, fresh water frequently

and proper food. The food require

ments are the same as for the early chicks except that we would advise a liberal ration of milk in some form and would consider this milk v ration very essential. If the natCatch Crop High Tested SEEDS Millet, Cane, Sudan. Crimson Clover and Soy Beans. OMER G. WHELAN
