MUNY GOLF LINKS A
SUCCESS in TOLEDO

TOLEDO, o., Oct. Especial.
The success of Toledo's munich
pal golf courses, tennis courts,
and baseball diamonds is shown
by the increasing number to take
advantage OF them each season.
Recognizing this public inter
est, the city park board, having
much ground that is usuable for
the purpose, has kept gradually
adding ball diamonds and tennis
courts until there are dozens of
them.
The first city golf course was
laid out many years ago in Otta-
wa park, great rolling stretch
of beautiful country with fine
natural hazards. Unlike many
city enterprises. 1t was kept up
to the highest pitch of efficiency.
That fact drew golfers.
Private grounds were deserted
for the public course.
Finally, although there is a
public pavilion in which lockers
may be rented and a shower bath
taken, the players became so nu-
merous that they banded together
and secured permission to erect
their own club house on the
grounds. This has been done.
Nine-Hple Course Increased
Now, the nine-hole course has
been increased to an 18-hole
course; and new golf course
laid out nanother park several
miles from the first.

and the very orderly way in which
all are conducted.

Continuing the general idea OF
encouraging athletics, this fall a
football field will be opened In
one Of the city parks. These free
Fairgrounds give the ordinary

man, an opportunity for exercise

The idea here has spread for a
dozen years.
The people have endorsed II
each time they have been called

letic fields flourish. See
Relative to tennis courts, the
experience has been that owing to
the growing popularity of munic-
ipal tennis courts in our Anieri-
can cities, a city can hardly have
too many. There is 10 in our
various public parks and 10 more
could easily be used.

WHAT IS
PARK TO
BECOME?
BY A. J. Eldred

What protection would be given
the public and Mr.. Ordinary Man
under the proposed agreeme emf
between Uncle Sam and big Ia
coma and Seattle interests which
are to get a monopoly of park
concessions, remained unknown
today.
Whether the park would be
made into rich mans resort, the
central feature of which would
be a palatial hotel with palatiaI
prices. without accommodation
for the everyday citizen, remain
ed the big secret.
Prices to BE HIGHER,
George II. Stone, one of the
directors of the new concession
monopoly. was confident that the
general public interests would be
fully protected.
He said that prices at the new
hotel must be higher than at
Reese's camp, and he knew of no
project under way by the company
which would give cheap accommo-
dations.
No announcement had come
from s. I. Mather, assistant sec-
rotary of the interior, who sup
posedly has represented the gen.
eral public in the negotiations.
To Build Log Hotel.
The effect of these is that a
corporation of wealthy Seattle and
Tacoma men--comprising bank
ing, hotel, transportation and
publicity interests particularly
are to handle all the concessions
In the park, except those already
established near Longmire
Springs. These are to be taken
over at the expiration OF their
present leases, or they may by
agreement become members of
the new, corporation.
In Paradise valley. near the
present Reese camp. will be erect
ed a $4,000 hotel, built of .'sil-
YER logs. 1t will be one of the
finest in any U. s. park.
Bus or touring-car passenger
service to the park will be stop
ped save for the new company's
own machines.

corporation, which must turn
part OF its profits into the gov-
eminent for park improvements.

by BROWN HOLMES,


Times special sport writer who
visited the world series cOn-
tenders to get the ''inside'
dope.
When it comes to picking q
winner in the world series about
to start, the whole thing has To
be figured differently from any
other series ever played.
1t is not hard matter to dope
a series when there are just plain
human beings to deal with, bu.
when there is fellow like Grow
er Alexander in the way, it's diff
| ferent.
The series is the first In
which one team has ono
pitcher who stands out like a
house afire compared to the
rest.
This big Alexander may go in
there and win the series all by
himself. To do so means for him
to win four games, something a
world series pitcher has never
done.
Alexander is at the heighth of
his career, having won more than
80 games this season, but | can't
figure him to beat the Sox more
than three times. He is the only'
Phil chucker who can beat the
American leaguers, so / pick the
Sox to cop.
AS to other reasons. there's the
lack of a good lefthand pitcher on
the Phil team to properly handle
the Sox, whose hitting strength is
llefthanded.
The Phils will have to depend
on righthand pitching and the
Sox can shoot seven lefthand hit
tiers into the fray. It's all Bos-
ton on that score.
Another reason is that the
Pills are weakest against fast
ball pitching and the Sox pitch
ers are fast ball workers.
The pills murder curve
ball pitching, but they will
not face that style OF delivery
from the Boston beavers.
The pills, especially Cravatn,
Luderus, Bancroft, Niehoff aud
Killefer, are long-fly hit ers.
They are most dangerous on their
own field where these long flies
pass into the left field bleachers,
which are close TO the plate, and
over the short right field fence for
home runs.
The Sox can combat this rea-
ture by using RUDE Shore in The
games played on the small Phil
park. Shores fast ball is differ
emit from other fast balls, because
1t is "sinker." The pills Will
be hitting ON top of 1t and sending
1t into the dirt, instead of getting
under 1t and raising It into the
air.
To combat the driving ability
of the Phils away from theft
home grounds, the Sox have three
outfielders who are the greatest
ground coverers in the business.
/ On big field they will have room
to operate.
The only thing the pills
have ON the Red sox In this
series Is Grover Alexander.

NOISE WRECKS THE HEARING
Thunder Of Great Guns Has Most
Injurious Effect, Especially on
the Sailors.

The huge power of modern guns ID
responsible for a deafening uproar the
whole time they are in action. This
din results in hundreds of soldiers be-
ing deafened for life, owing to in1ur-
les in the eardrum. Sailors are the
most unfortunate in this respect, for,
unlike soldiers, they cannot stand at
distance Of 10 PAGES behind their
guns, as is the rule in the army. The
sailor remains at the breech the whole
time that the gun is carrying on its
work. AS preventive of deafness the
sailors on many ships are provided
with small stick of India rubber,
which they grip between their teeth
when the guns are at work. This
prevents the concussion Of the great
volume of sound being so injurious to
the nerves of the ear, and also stops
that vibration of the jaw which results
in chronic headache.
II these preventives are not pro-
vided the sailor is advised to keep his
mouth open when gun-firing is going
on, as this stops, to some extent, the
unpleasant consequences set up by vio-
lent concussion. Naval officers in
variably chew toothpicks when gun
ners are at work, for the great gre
ventive of deafness on such occasions
is to keep the mouth open somehow
or other.
