Struggle Increasing

The struggle for the second base job on the New York team. now in training at Macon, Ga, is increasing every day. ac- cording to William Hanna of the New York Sun, who is at the Yankees camp. This is what he says: With Luke Boone here there are now three direct candi- dates for second base-Boone, Mullen and Gedeon-and with Maisel and Magee as factors in the final appointment for that corner the race for the position is com- rlicated. Mullen, either through direction or preference, went at once to second for practice, as if that was his best ave- nue to a regular position on the team and as if he had no designs on first base.'

MONTGOMERY RAISES
 5000 TO GET THE
 SALLY FRANCHISE

It recently developed that Montgomery had to raise $2000 to get the South Allan tic franchise. League officials favored awarding the franchise to Waycross, but the stake put up by Montgomery filled the extra expense for mileage.
 It will be an interesting question to watch the progress of Montgomery in the Sally. It is hardly expected that the Sally game will prove popular, since the fans failed to support a Southern league team.

are situate on either side of the car line where the right-of-way has been previ- ously hewn out. The rest of the course is through thiclkly wooded land, so that there is no possible relief for the cratic pls yer-the man who cant make every shot straight and true.
 DESIGNS PERFECT HOLES
 In order to add few extra problems to the longer holes, MT. Wakerley has designed four perfect elbow holes each more than AGO yards. The bend in the path from fair green is sufficiently far from the tee to protect the drive from shooting across into the woods at the turn, but great care must be taken with the second, which will depend largely on the lie" secured by the drive. It will be hard lines for the short drive, as at least one extra shot will be required to get around the bend, even if the trouble Is avoided. Thus, with a problem at nearly every hole, the course will serve as a great training ground for the me- dium class golfer.
 The holes have been planned with the lengths varying admirably. The 500-yard holes probably will be a par five. Six other holes are above 400 yards, and will re- quire two great wooden shots. Six more are between 300 and 400 and will require a wooden and an iron, or mashie pitch for one or two that are located atop of plateaus. Only one of the shorter holes is pipe" No. 17 being a 23O- yard drive t. the green. No. r, a 12O-yarder is directly up a hill from the tee. No. IS, 165 yards, requires an iron to hill. No. g. 130-yarder, is across deep ravine.
 The new course will be open to men- bers of the Chattanooga Golf and Coun- try club and to visiting tourists.
