If it's a stark naked ball the entrant
is thinking of spilling on the tee today
at Bala in the invitation tournament
there, he might as we'll sit on the roof
and sing for all the chance he Will nave
of breaking so or perhaps qualifying.
A hydroplane ball would be handy. but
II this is not obtainable, the ball should
be provided with rubber boots and water
wings, an X-ray eye, an anchor, compass,
rudder and chains. An s. o. S. outfit on
board also would not be amiss.
There are laughing waters to breast,
there are blind holes to find, there are
ocean-wave undulatiing slopes to kick the
ball here, there and elsewhere. There
are fences to vault. roads to ride, trees
to climb, and a-many things In the way
of what-nots and out-of-the-way sur
prises The course is only nine holes, but
1t is all concentrated golf.
Togo Tom" Mcnamara, tournament
taker, said of the course when he played
in the famous foursome there with Nc
Dermott Nichols and Thompson that it
was one of the best "bogey' courses he
had played on, but it was practically
impossible par" course.
George Klauder, Aronimink, is the only
one who has ever had a par Y there. That
was five years ago, and the best players
in the country have not been able TO
equal this feat. Last year only one player
was able to break 90 on the course, and
that is unique record.
The first hole is long drive over
valley and long second shot is either
caught by a bunker or blind road. The
second is 300 yards over hedge to
blind hole and the next is the same length
up a guarded hill, requiring a perfect
pitch to the green.

There is not a level spot on the 400
yard fourth and the wavy ground Is like
one succession of huge dunes. There is
a withered oak which catches many shots.
The tree is said to be withered so on ac-
count OF the cursing Sthat prevails under
its branches.
The sykes-McAvoy team once delivered
an antiphonal Grafton, which is now writ
ten as a classic.
The fifth is a fine elbow hole which is
difficult to reach In two. The seventh
follows the railroad for nearly 600 yards
10 a blind hole Two long shots bring
one to a bunker. The green is not visl-
Bile. only the lake beyond The eighth is
one of the hardest for poor players in
the city. Exactly on a level with the tee
Is scuffed up lake. 1t is 40 yards
across and every ball knocked in Is out
of bounds.
1t is all right to drive from an eleva-
tion across a stretch like that, but 1t
looks mean ION the level" On the other
side there is a hill which makes IL look
meaner. The ninth is a short pitch down
hill with traps on every hand.
"This course is no good" said a player
last year. There aren't enough shots"
I'm bet you played all the clubs in
your bag and wished you had a lot more,"
replied Frank McAdams, committeeman.
And, on second thought, the player ad-
mitted that he used every club he had,
and that the real trouble was he didn't
have enough sticks TO play all the shots.

ONE-HOUR RACE SCHEDULED
AT POINT BREEZE PARK
Fastest Riders in the World Compete
Tomorrow Night

Probably no long distance motor-pace
race OF modern times Is being watched
more closely than the one hour motor
paced struggle which is scheduled to take
place tomorrow night at Point Breeze
Park Motordrome Four Of the greatest
followers of pace In America, Clarence
Carman, worlds champion; Victor Lin
art, Belgian champion; Jules Seares,
French champion. and Bedell, the noted
six-day rider.
Victor Linart, the Belgian, who cleo
trihed the fans last Thursday night by
his wonderful riding. is coming back
again to repeat his performance, and he
Is confident that he will again show Phil
adelphia that he is a strong contender for
the worlds championship.
Carman Is equally as confident that he
will be able to wipe out the defeat ad-
ministered TO him last Thursday by Lin
art, and Il is felt that the men will eN-
tend themselves in their respective di-
rections, and consequently make a sprint
from start to finish during the entire
hour
Another feature for tomorrow nights
program is 10-mile motorcycle race, the
longest race decided at this track, In
which will appear Herman Veditz, Henri
st. Ives and Speedy Vanderberry.

HAUBER AND REvoIRE DRAW
Box Six Hard Rounds in Main Bout at
Douglas

Henry Haubcr and Eddie Revoire were
the principals in an exciting bout that
kept the spectators on edge throughout
the six rounds at the Douglas Athletic
Club last night. At the termination of
the contest there was so little to choose
between them that it would be an in
justice to award the decision to either.
II was Drawn against Drawn, hard hit
ting prcdominating. Hauber was content
to allow Revoire to do the greater part
of the leading, while he frequently coun-
tered with a stiff, straight left to the
face. Hauber did not land as many blows
as Revoire but his punches carried more
power behind them.
