MANACER0F DULUTH|ANS
B Henry ]. Lund.)

st. Paul, Mimi, August 12.-Presi-
dent Somers of the Cleveland and To-
ledo clubs is either kidding Darby
OBrien of the Duluth club or he is
putting n over on Herman Bronkie,
who succeeded Topsy Hartsell as man.
ager of the Mud Hens. According to
we'll defined rumors, the Dock Of Du-
luth has had considerable correspond
ence of late with the Nap owner in
regard to the Toledo management, but
to date nothing definite has been de-
cided. There is considerable differ
ence of opinion as to whether O'Brien,
II given over the management, would
be able to make a go of it. While
Darby has had great success in the
minors, especially in handling and de-
veloping young ball players, it is a big
jump from Glass c to Glass A A bali.
1t seldom pans out that a manager,
no matter how successful he may be
in the bush. succeeds in making the
grade in the big minors. He usually
steps into a club that is badly split UP
through internal dissension, and, to
make matters worse, probably has
several old heads on the club who
would fail to carry out his instructions
to the letter.
According to a statement attributed
to Herman Bfonkie. he was assured
by Mr.. Somers when he succeeded
Hartsel hat he could continue as pilot
Of the Hens in 1914. Bronkie asserts
that he talked matters over with Som
ers very thoroughly and that he ac-
copied the. management only on the
condition that he was to hold over
during the 1914 season.

Traps on Modern Golf Courses.

Variety of play is the chief essential
OF modern golf course architecture.
Different conditions of the land re-
quire vastly different treatment to
produce an eighteen hole links which
will demand the use of every shot
that should be in the expert golfers
bag. Then again, every course should
not be constructed for the sole pleas
ure and requirements of the expert.
70 strike a happy medium alike salts
factory to the expert and ordinary
business man is what is desired near
our large cities.
The Baltusrol links in New Jersey,
Myopia in Massachusetts, and the Ma
tional links on Long Island, are de-
signed to thoroughly test the skill
of the expert. If he can make a
low score over these difficult links
any ordinary course is merely a mat
ter Of swattine the ball n holing it
out.
On the other hand. such links as
Brae Burn and Essex County, near
Boston; Montclair and Apawamis, near
New York; Exmoor and Onwentsia,
near Chicago, and many others are
much more popular for the use of
average players ambitious of occa-
sionally turning in a half way de-
cent score.
me Old theory tnat a golf course
should consist Of cop bunkers at from
100 to 140 yards ahead of every tee
has given way to traps and mounds
arranged in such a way that the short
but sure driver a pick his way
around the course nine or ten strokes

This is a perfectly fair reward for
the longer and surer player, and one

er. first on the right side and then
on the left side Of the next hole, so
as to call for accurate control on the
part Of the shorter player. Then adj
ded hazards are placed in the path Of
the shorter player for his second shot,
while a clear way to the hole is left
Tor the longer hitter, who courage
ously clears the first hazard.
A modern refinement to meet the
conditions Of the new lively ball Is an
increasing multiplicity Of traps guard
Ing the near approach to the green,
Even a very short hole intelligently
trapped around the green becomes A
problem demanding the highest de-
gree Of skill.
The second course at Pinehurst, rep
~resenting the joint skill Of Donald
Ross. Walter J. Travis, and a num-
Der of other notable experts, presents
a variety of trapping about the greens
which II duplicated on some Of our
northern courses more abundant in

pressing. However, we are going
through on the theory that it Isn't over
until we are counted out by the linn
itations of the schedule. Winona is
apt to hit the down grade any minute.
Lefty Davis has had great luck all
year and his players have been IN the
best Of condition for hard campaign
ing. That is the secret Of his success.
When the boys are all present and in
good shape we have just as good a club
as he a and will play him any old
day, with pleasure"
The attention Of Mr.. sommer. was
called to the fact that Duluth is in
third place and that the White sox
have fond hopes Of ~overtaking the Red
Legs and finishing ahead Of Superior.
"If Duluth beats us out there won't
be much honor in 1t for them for our
boys will break all their legs and arms
before they will go down before the
White Sox. We have a chance to win
the pennant and we are going to keep
our eye on that chance and not on
Duluth but IL we don't finish first you

first opportunity. He was matched
