oNE-MAN GOVERNMENT IN CITIES

0NE-MAN GOVERNMENT IN CITIES.
While those who are not residents of
Massachusetts may not have any direct
concern in the results Of elections in that
state, they do now and then take mild
interest In the outcome Of the battle of
the ballots. In the elections held on
Tuesday there was mild interest at least
in the result of the fight in the Boston
election for councillors, the two factions
representing the Good Government asso-
citation and the Curley party" All
other considerations aside, there was
general concern to see whether Boston
should become a one-man city or should
continue to be city governed by the
of the people. The cleo
ton was sharp issue between Mayor
Curley on the one side and general
opposition, the latter taking the ground
that one-man domination Of city gov
arnment is not for the best interests Of
the municipality. Hence there was more
than the usual sense Of satisfaction on
The morning following the election that
the Curley candidates were defeated,
as the opposition candidates
we're known to be honests capable men.
A curley party" in Boston seems to be
doomed to die borning. The next step
Till, therefore, be gentle removal OF

BEGINNER AT GOLF
. MISSED ONE CLUB
Wanted Caddie Stimulator,
Feeling Need of 1t After a
Single Round.

The man who first gave utterance to
that time honored mandate: Keep
your eye on the ball." spoke better
than he knew. BY never taking the
eye off the ball nobody can pilfer 1t.
Ability to keep ones eye on the ball
applies especially to the caddle If a
player is to enjoy any peace of mind,
and this recalls the story OF a be-
ginner who, after taking his first les
son and having the uses Of the differ
ent clubs explained to him, asked the
professional if one Of the clubs had
rot been overlooked.

needed" was the eply.

"Well. | have only played around once
but surely you must have caddic

"A caddie stimulator?" gasped the
puzzled instructor. "Taht's new one
on me. What would it look like"
"Why, anybody ought to know that

Lads Pre-empted Lincoln
Park Extension and City
Officials Will Build
9-Hole Course.

As Mrs Murphy's COW kicking over a
lantern caused the great Chicago fire.
and as the lack of a horseshoe nail once
lost a battle, so did a band of golhng
small boys, with crooked sticks for
clubs and empty tomato cans for holes,
prove the means Of moving city officials
toward the installation OF a public golf
course.
1t happened in Chicago, when a
crowd of youngsters espied stretch
Of vacant territory in the newly filled
in Lincoln Park extension. Acres of
reckoning prairie with green grass
neatly barbered by park attaches lured
the boys, so that one day in April four
of them trekked out to the tract. They
carried collection of tin cans, a few
short wooden sticks and old golf balls
and a scant supply of red flags made
from old rags.
If here in Gotham the irrepressible
small boy had, instead of demolishing
street lamps on Jerome Avenue u few
years ago, become imbued with the golf
bug and invaded that eXpanse known as
MoSholu, what anguish on the part Of
the Van Cortlandtites might have been
averted,
The Chicago boys went TO work sink
ing the tin cans, open side up, with the
edges level with the turf Then. few
feet away from each, they staked out
the teeing grounds. In each cup the
stick with red rag on II was placed.
Here was a golf course built in an
afternoon.
Soon other boys got to watching and

lieve, about the same type Of men. If
Selee had lived, | am sure that he
would have achieved as great success
as any. He was a wonderful judge of
ability and unerring in judging human
nature-two requisites which every
manager must possess TO amount to
anything at all. In spite of the fact
that he was not of the clustering kind,
he commanded the respect of his men
at all times.
Chance was much more aggressive,
but it must be remembered that Chance
was handling a team of stars in Chi
cago, and that was no simple PROPOSE
ton. 1t required an iron hand on the
helm. | have known Chance to sit up
night after night worrying.
Frequently one hears the remark
that certain managers never worry
That remark should always be qualified
as follows: Certain managers never
seem to worry" No manager has ever
held the reins of ball club without
worrying. It's one of those things that
just cant be did"
There is something else that | have
been anxious to discuss for some time
have been asked how | account for
the fact that men who were but medi.
OGRE ball players have succeeded so
signally as managers. Persons have
mentioned the names of Connie Mack
and George Stallings as examples.
Both Mack and Stallings were play
ers before my time, but from what
have read and heard | am of the opin-
ion that they were not the mediocre
players some fans seem to think. II
they weren't stars they were mighty
close TO it. How could they have been
sught else? Men with their baseball
brains must have been among the top.

Taking a Fen Stray
Shots at the Head Pin

On next Friday evening the New
York Bowling Association will vote on
two amendments to the rules, one pro-
viding for a 25-cent registration fee,
which will include registration in the
National Bowling Association, and the
other forbidding a man to roll with
more than one club or team In the
same tournament and giving the board
of governors power for necessary
action. This will be the last meeting of
the local organization prior to the ma
tional tournament in the Grand Central
Palace.
Joe Thum has produced something
new in tenpns. II is a duckpin made
of aluminium. Those who have tried
the innovation declare the pins are
livelier than wood and encourage high
scoring. When it happens that windows
are near duckpin alleys glass is usually
q great sufferer. The effect of liveller
pins may be imagined. Cages are con-
structed in some cases.

WHY some GOLFERS
TAKE GAME SADLY
.Oyer-AmbitiOn the Pitfall
Which Turks in Links
to Catch UnWary.

Some one has declared that some
golfers take their favorite game sadly.
This no doubt is true, and II may be
said that too much ambition is the
pitfall which turks on the links to bring
trouble and dismay. 1t may be that
the victim has not swept the ball away
from the tee for week or more, but
has worked out a new theory for nm
self. He has figured that the first hole
should be easily made in a. the second
in similar figures, and so on Tor
round of 81.
He did not timber up when he started
out-merely went into the superlntend,,
ent's office, picked up card and pencil
after getting into his toys, and signed
for a caddie. He considers himself
ready for a glorious performance. Why
not? He went TO bed the night before
in good season. was careful what nc ate
for a day or two, and, in fact, never
felt better in his life. r
He walks up to the tee, takes stiff
stance, perhaps swing or. two. and
finally drives the ball with all his
power-the ball curls sharply to the
eft for a else out of bounds.
Next a top, two more before ne
reaches the green, and on top OF II all
as if to add insult to injury, come three
puts for on a par hole. Hole No
2-result the same. Two Is to begin
with, and a record in his mind. =.
The moral is. don't consider yourself
in tiptop condition, no matter II you
never felt better in your life, until you
have had a little practice. Practice
swings take the kink out, and there is
nearly always a practice putting green
to use prior to round. The stiffness
of the muscles has then been removed
and the necessary feel or touch OBJ
tanned.
Then so many golfers will not take
their favorite game sadly.

Although little delayed in starting,

Trust the Knights of Columbus bowl
ers to produce something new. With
the iiye-men tournament finished. a
headpin competition with fifteen teams
has been started. Five men are on a
team. In fact, everything is the same
as in the regular meeting, except that
the style of bowling is headpin instead
OF strike and spare.
Incidentally, there are few better
styles of bowling than headpin, in that
it promotes the habit of hitting the
ever necessary No. 1, and for that alone
it is of great help in the strickland
spare style. In his famous match with
Jimmy Smith several years ago Johnny
VOORHEES, rolled fifteen games at the
old Harlem Circle without once cross
ing the headpin or without once miss
ing it. VOORHEES, gave one of the most
remarkable exhibitions of skilful bowl
ing ever seen.
