GREAT OCEAN Liner
STILL AGROUND

Halifax, N. S., Jan. $50 firm and
fast is the steamer Uranium lodged
on the rocks near Chebuctoo head,
where she ran agroud in yesterdays
fog, that no amount Of straining by
fleets of tugs today pulled her a foot
toward liberty. After three Intellectual
attempts to float her, one of which
threatened to land another vessel, the
tug Scotsman, on the ledge beside her,
Captain Eustice decided that he would
have to tighten the ship before she
could be extricated.
Of the $50 passengers who were
transferred to rescue crafts, many
left for their destinations today. Six
hundred and forty-three, examined by
United States immigration service in
spectors, expected to leave tonight for
New York.
TheUranium lies tonight on an al
most even keel with her forWard bulk-
head stove in and two more feet of
water in it han she had last night.
Life preservers lie heaped on the
Uranium's deck ready for instant use,
for, should the wind shift, M the sea
run strong, there is danger that she
might break in two.
The steamer Is stuck bow-on with
II fathoms of water under her stern.
The bow plates are ripped, and No. /
hold is water filled. The vessels po-
sition is only a few hundred yards
ron the lighthouse at Chebuctoo head,
where the keeper declares he was
blowing his fog horn when the vessul
struck. 1t was on the same ledge,
and not far from this spot, that the
teamer Atlantic of the White Star
line was lost in April. 1873, at the sac
rifiCe of 600 lives.

best endeavors to show the Boise

a serious mistake If they do not be-

Withdraw from the Tri-State league,
to which they now belong. Mr.. Blake
Is well acquainted in Boise, Is an ar

his efforts will be successful and that
Boise will be a member of the Union
association in 1918. while either Pc

They are having lots of trouble at
the University of Utah over next
falls football schedule. The. Mormons
claim that the Colorado schools ar
ranged an arbitrary schedule without
consulting them and submitted it.
The schedule, they say, is SO arranged
that Utah will take a trip to Denver
to play the Miners, come back to meet
the University of Colorado at Salt
Lake, take another trip to Denver to
play D. u. and then play a return
game with the Miners at Salt Lake.
This scheme will play havoc with the
condition of their team, the Utahans
say. They insist that the schedule
must be changed. If it is not the
Colorado teams will be scratched from
Utah's calling list, Montana will be
brought to Salt Lake for one game
and for the other the. clever will go to
Los Angeles to play Occidental col

SCHEDULE MADE;
ATLANTA OPENS
ON THE ROAD
CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan.

@HATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan.
2I-The schedule for the
1918 season of the Southern
league has been drafted, but this
one statement is the sum total of
the informat ton which can he
gained from the members of the
schedule committee az regards
their assiduous labors in the Hotel
Patton from 10 o'clock Saturday
morning until the wee srna' hours
of the sabbath.
The schedule has been drafted,
and, according to President @. b
Andrews, Of the local club. drafted
in such a way that all will be salts
fed.
The demand of the Atlanta Base
ball association that the schedule
be SO compiled as to eliminate short
Saturday games gave the commit
tee no little trouble. but the COM
pliers believe that all has been ar
ranged satisfactorily.
one item upon the schedule which
will be of special interest to both
Atlanta and Chattanooga fans and
to the league in general, because of
the intensity of the hoStilties
which will ensue, is that the Crack
ers are rea sonably certain to open
the league season in this city. There
has been no positive assurance of
this fact other than the remark Of
President Andrews that the local
club got all the scheduled favors
it asked. The chief favor wanted
by the "Noogans. however, was al
ready known to be an opening date
with Atlanta and holiday games
away from this city.
Holiday games will no longer be
the lack of adequate street car IA
cilites. 1t was further assured
that either Atlanta or Nashville
would be the opening attraction,
ana with but these two to pick
from ii is not surprising that the
Crackers were the attraction want
ed by the local club for the first
day
One other bit of knowledge
which was gained was that tho
Chattanooga club would be at home
during the Confederate reunion on
May y, 2S and go, and that the
Dobbers viii be the opposing team
Those that attended the schedule
meeting We're President Andrews
OF the local club President Cole
man, of Memphis; Cholly Frank. Of
the Pels: Secretary Colssen, of the
Mobile club, and Secretary Jacob
son, OF the Southern league. John
ny Dobbs, the Montgomery mogul,
was also present at the sessions.

BILL BERNHARD
MAY LOSE OUT
IN MEMPHIS

NASHVILLE, TENN. Jan, -.
" Tom Mccullough. former
secretary and treasurer of
the Memphis baseball club, was
in Nashville yesterday and dur
ing his spare moments managed to
talk little gossip of the situation
la Turtletown
According to Tom. your old
friend Wilhelm Bernhard hasn't
got the job as leader of the Tur-
ties nailed down by long odds. and
as for that matter, there is lots
more tnan a slim chance that
President Coleman will not find
himself reclining in the easy chair
in the Office at Red Elm.
Mac is the principal stakeholder
of the bunch of minority share
holders who raised all the fuss
about the way the club was being
handled, and asked that a receiver
be appointed who would Dust Mr..
Coleman as the big noise in the
management of the clubs affairs.
The case was to have come up in
the chancery court on January
Is, but was postponed for two
weeks owing to a very heavy
docket
Mccullough claims that his fac
ton Will win out in the fight. and
the man who offers the most mon
ey will buy the CLUB from the re-
ceiver. Tom admits that the new
administration will more than like
ly be headed by himself, because
he claims that he did more than
anyone else to put the club on a
solid basis while he occupied the
position of secretary treasurer.
The team. so Mac states, has lost
close to $4,000 yearly since he was
thrown out, ana before that hap
pened the club was some $12 900
on velvet. and had also spent more
than $4,000 in putting up a new
grandstand.
If the dope works out like Mac
is sure it viii, off will come the
managerial head Of Professor
Bernhard, and in his stead, so the
story runs, will be placed a one
time leader of the New York Giants
and one of the greatest judges of
ball players and natural leaders in
the country today. Just who the
gentleman is and why he isn't hold
ing down a berth up in the Big
Show. deponent hath naught to
say.

Chick Evans Writes
On What It Costs to
Play the Game of Golf
BY "Chick'' Evans.
(Western Amateur Coli Champion


n AUTOMATICALLY inclined
~ golfer has furnished ne with
an interesting table setting
forth the cost of playing golf, per
hole, per game and per stroke for
the average player Every item of
expense is carefully set down and
nothing sighted.
Whether such a table is an en-
couragement to play more or less is
question | leave others to decide.
The table. repeat, is interesting
and suggestively instructive. and
we can readily see there is a chance
TO reduce the expenses somewhat
and a very great opportunity to in
crease them.
Lightning. calculators can now
get TO work and see how they
stand. Following are the mans
figures:
Season 1912; April IS to Deem
Der IA, inclusive;
1872 9-hole games equals LES
holes.
LIPS holes equals 1895 strokes
1926 strokes equals 3,542 puts,
1853 drives and $3.50 irons.
3,542 divided by 1928 makes an
average of BOASTS puts per hole
1895 divided by 1,72S makes an
average of 6.299 strokes per hole.
1926 divided by 1872 makes an
average of 5I209 strokes per game.
The expenses at two clubs and
one mercantile association and 8
a guest. including dues. three lock
ers, railroad, house accounts cad
dies, balls. clubs, repairs and guests,
for eight months play We're $216,20.
The real figures follow:
Average cost per 9-hole game,
SLIP.
Average cost per 1S-hole game,
1925.
Average cost per stroke. $00196S1.
For an exceptional player the
cost per game and per hole would
be the same. but the cost per stroke
would be more, since he would take
fewer strokes.
