X HlCAGO April S,-Only the
other day | was writing some
thing about the burning of the
Atlanta Athletic Club house, and as |
sit down to my desk the news comes
TO me of the destruction by fire of the
clubhouse Of the Mayheld Country
Club, al Cleveland. Such an acct
dent at this time Of the year is espe-
cially unfortunate. Not that it can
be said that a fire that destroys a
clubhouse in the springtime is an abb
solutely unreasonable occurrence. for
spring is the beginning Of the golfers
year Yet spring apparently brings
an epidemic of golf club fires, and
this article is a plea for the building
of fireproSf clubhouses. If that is not
practicable then proper provision for
the prevention or checking of disas
ter should be made.
l understand that all the clubs of
the members of the Atlanta Athletic
club were burned, and l ask any
golfer if he can imagine much great
er misfortune than that The manu-
facturer of golf clubs and other ac-
cessories TO the game may profit by,
this wholesale destruction. but it is
an irrep9rable loss to the player who
has become attached to his clubs. One
man says II wouldn't have taken $50
for that club, and another adds that
$500 or five years searching could
not repair my loss Truly the de-
struction of a club by fire is like the
breaking Of an old friendship. for if a
man has groWn attached to his clubs
assuredlv the relationship can be de-
s-ribed as friendly oneN
4 OBSTRUCTIVE fire seems such
an unnecessary evil. aud the
money loss is great ! venture the

Chick Evans Deplores Fires
Concrete Clubs for Golfers

guess that more than 100000 worth
of property has been destroyed by
golf club fires in the United States,
and | should not like to try to com
pute the injury done to golfers feel
ings.
In the Chicago district alone l recall
the burning of clubhouses al Ex-
moor, Skokie, Westward Ho and Chi
cago Golf. was present at the Chi
cago Golf Club fire, which came just
before the national championship was
to be played over the course 1t was
the prettiest blaze imaginable, be-
cause there were no means close at
hand to check it, This is true of al
most all golf clubhouse fires. for the
average links is too far out in the
country for speedy service from the
fire department
TOO much emphasis can not be
placed upon the great risks of fire
at golf clubs. OF course. nearly all
golf clubhouses are insured, although
rates in the country usually are pref
ty high, but no insurance money can
really replace the clubs of the mem
bers.
No doubt it is much cheaper at the
time to build pretty wooden houses
than substantial fireproof ones. but il
the cheaper course must be followed
every reasonable precaution should be
taken to avoid fire. AS golf club
houses are generallw low structures,
there is usually no loss of life. and
for that we are truly thankful, but I
can not look upon the loss of ones
clubs as much short of tragedy
All of the golf clubs, however. that
have suffered the visitation of fire
have profited by their loss. and from
the ashes of Homewood. Skokie, Elk
moor and Chicago Golf have arisen
permanent, fireproof structures.

unique experience Of watching tho re-
moyal OF his own appendix at the
Sprague hospital in Huron. He was
SUFFERING from an acute attack Of ap-

owing to. q constitutional trouble 1t
would be extremely dangerous TO adj
minister ar anesthetic. .
The attending physician used local
anesthetics. though. with very sue
cessful results. and the operation was
carried through with dispatch, the pa
tent carrying on q conversation with
the surgeon and occasionally raising
his head and watching the work for q
while. After returning TO his room at

election here yesterday the people sus-
tanned the city commission in It's action
In a saloon case. At the annual grant
ing of licenses the city voted licenses
