CHANGES MADE IN
ARSENAL COURSE
Sub Irrigation Entrenched in
Eight Putting Greens Will
Work Wonders.
TAKE OUT MANY HAZARDS
Some of Them Are Eliminated While
Others Are Moved-Shorten
Distance to Hole.
TAKE OUT MANY HAZARDS

Improvements which were started
on the Rock Island arsenal golf links
last fall have so changed the golf
course on the government island that
it is in even better condition than ever
before in its history, and therefore
about as good as any golf course in the
country. Sub-irrigation systems were
entrenched under eight of the putting
green's around the course and through
out the hottest days OF summer the
putting green's OF the course will be
kept in the fastest shape possible. The
sub-irrigation system makes it possible
to keep the grass green without dan
ger OF having the hot sun burn il out.
In former years these eight putting
green's have burned in the middle OF
the summer, and as result, the play
ers have had to change their strokes
to suit the green. The system was in
stalled at large expense.
OTHER CHANGES ON COURSE,
The players were greeted with many
other changes this spring, all of which
will be most welcome to the average
golf enthusiast, while they will give
the low score man an opportunity to
go even lower. Bunkers have been
changed and tees have been set for
ward, shortening some of the holes.
Colonel DOGGY, alone, remains I'M
changed. The first bunker of the third
hole has been changed from a near
right angle hazard to an oval shaped
bunker, giving the poorer driver an
opportunity to escape the hazard with
a fair drive. The 18th hole, hoodoo for
most of the players of the course has
been shortened, and chances for max
ing it in DOGGY are greatly improved
A six-inch sand pit has been placed in
the 18th hole course. The 18th hole,
or the barracks, has been changed
and the bunker which formerly doomed
as hazard just before the green was
| reached, has been erased from the ge-
ographical map of the course. Other
| changes have been made on that hole
CIRCUS RING.
The dell, or 18th hole, has been
changed considerably and the player
who is good driver and an accurate
putter, can hole his ball in two strokes.
The tee has been set forward to the
brow of the hill and around the put
ting green, a Circus ring" has been
made.
Because of these changes, it is
thought that the record of the course
will be lowered as soon as the play
ers become accustomed to the differ
ence.

BILL JACOBSEN
IS MAKING GOOD
Elk Islander Ball Tosser Leads
Mobile Team in Stick
Line.
PLAYING THE LEFT GARDEN
Together With Al Demaree, Respon-
sible for Teams Standing in
the Race.

The big and mighty Ex-Islander,
William Jacobsen, who was a New
York Giant for a brief period of the
spring training trip and who since
has been with Mobile in the Southern
league, is sure making some enviable
record, both in the left garden, where
he scoops the flies out of the air. off
the turf and off the fence, and at the
bat where he seldom falls down. Word
Is waited this way that Bill stepped
into his first game to bat for another
player when the Mobile team was be-
hind in the total count and that he
lifted the ball over the back fence
for homer. That won Bill a home.
The fans will never finish talking about
those strides he took to complete the
circuit. Since that day, Bill has been
picking grass in the left portion Of
the field and at intervals he steps to
the plate and Yields the willow with
telling effect Generally, since the
season opened, he secures a hit or
two each day, steals a few bases and
fields in correct fashion.
PRAISE FOR BILL.
Mobile is at the top of the per-
centage column and from the Mem
phis correspondence of the Sporting
News, the following excerpt is taken:
From the percentage stack one CLEANS
that Mobile is represented by healthy
team consisting largely of Bill Jacob
sen and Al Demaree and some able
assistants"
So it begins TO look as though Big
Bill will have about one more season
with the minor leaguers and then he
will be gobbled up by one of the big
teams and Show that he is there with
the baseball goods.
