II ROM Pacific Coast letters Judge
that all California is awake to
the fact that there is an I'M
rivaled opportunity for big tourna-
ment in the vicinity OF San Francisco
during the year OF the Panama Ex-
position. Truly II would be a grace
full act for the powers that be to
award one of the biggest tournaments
TO the Pacific Coast in 1915. For
years the Callfornians have belonged
to the w. G. A. and the u. s. @. A.,
but rarely has one of them competed
The year 1918 win provide an OPP
portunity to reward faithful support
ers or the game who have never
shared in the pleasures OF the pre-
mier American events. II is proba Bile
that every golf club in the neigh
borhood OF San Francisco will care
fully put its house in order for Ex-
position visitors
Personally | am unacquainted with
any or the California courses; in any
apparent judgment of them ! am
relying entirely upon the reports Of
travellers. printed diagrams and COM
ments thereupon. Which California
course will be the better test of golf,
which in the best condition in 1915,
or better able to handle the crowds
will no doubt be decided by an au-
thorized committee. In the mean
time great interest in all California
courses Is being shown.
THE links of the Sequoyah Country
Club are located at Oakland, Just
across the bay from San Francisco.
AS ] take 1t, this course is not quite
ready for play, but most elaborate
plans have been made for its con-
struction. II is now well under way.
and by the time that 1915 rolls around
the Sequoyah Country Club will pre-
sent brand new course in cham
pionship condition. II will be unique
among California courses, lnasmuch
as the gfeens, so to 100 feet in diam
eter. win be subirrigated and the
entire fairway win be watered. The
land itself Is naturally adapted to
golfing. Two creeks with their tribu-
taries are used to advantage on the
course. My diagram shows no traps,
as yet, but these | presume will be

Sidelights on Sports
BY a. II. c. MITCHELL

Mot openly. but under the
surface, there is move
ment on foot to drive
Charles Webb Murphy. basebalrs
trouble maker, from the national
game.
Murphy declares he is in base
ball until the last gun fires and
will not be driven out. He says
he is for Charles Webb Murphy
first, the Chicago National
League club second. and as far
as the National League is con-
cerned he doesn't care what hap
pens TO 1t one way or the other.
M URPHY is known as the
4NA string millionaire. He
entered baseball few years ago
on borrowed money and made a
fortune out of it, Ever since he
became owner of the Chicago
National League team he has
been trouble-maker, a dis
cordant note in baseball harmony
and In his own town, Chicago,
he has disguised the baseball
public with the way he does busi-
ness. His treatment of Frank
Chance and Mordecai Brown and
the recent firing of Johnny Evers
are instances.
But how can Murphy be driven
from baseball?
You can not take his club away
from him. He owns SO per cent
OF the clubs stock, and II he
won't sell, there's no way to
force him to sell.
g EvERAL years ago the sched-
- ule makers OF the two big
leagues handed Murphy a jolt
that sobered him up for quite
awhile. They framed the sched-
ules so that there was some
thing like twelve conflicting
Sunday games In Chicago.
As far as possible the St. Louis
club, the poorest drawing card
in the National League, was
scheduled for Sunday games with
the Cubs, while over on Comis-
keys park the champion Detroit
club. of the American League,
was booked with the White Sox
for the same dates

The distances show that there are
two short iron shot holes going out
and two coming in-the regulation

The frst nine short holes are OF

at many more on the two-shot holes.
I AM glad to see that there are FIVE
crook holes. To my mind the
crook hole is particularly testing and
rewarding.
There are two routes to the six
teenth hole, which reminds me in a
way of one at Old Elm. One road to
the hole is a two -shotter and. danger

As ! understand 1t the two shot way

long and testing carries. This hole so
near the end would mean much to a
match drawing to close.
The second nine is the longer and
harder OF the course. There are two
long holes on the second nine and one
on the first.
The longest hole is 900 yards, rather
a monotonous length on some courses.
Looking at 1t on paper / would call
the second hole one of the best on the
course. l particularly like the dis
lance and the location of the green,
which lies just over a bend of the
creek, giving a good second short car
