PINEHURST BOY
MAKES HARD HOLE
IN ONE STROKE

Pinehurst, N. C., Dec. 2.-There is
some very promising golfng material
among the youngsters at Pinehurst.
Lambert Splane, the fourtoen-year-old
son of W. G. Splane, Of Detroit, played
a 36O-yard par hole the other day in
a drive, an iron shot and short putt.
This has now been capped by Lambert's
schoolfellow, Athel Denham, also four
teen, who, under the watchful eye Of
his attesting opponent and sehoolmas-
ter, A. A. Collinge, has made the thir-
teenth hole on the Number One course
in one.
This hole. now made In one for the
first time, is par three and boyle four.
Tho approach runs uphill all the way,
and the only part Of the green that is
visible from the tee is the flag, as they
say in Ireland. The distance is 1872
yards, which Is in itself a respectable
drive for youngster OF fourteen. Mrs.
Dorothy Campbell Hurd, who built up
the remarkable ringer score OF SO on
this course last season and shattered
a number Of pars In the course OF the
proceedings, never managed better than
three on this particular hole.
Holes in one are all more or less
fukes, Of course. Donald Ross, for in
stance. never made one in his life.
William Wilson claims two in fifteen
years Of play. The feat was accom-.
plished only twice at Pinehurst last
season, the short ninth hole on the
Number Two course obliging in both
instances. Phil Carter negotiated the
first of this pair OF aces in the dra-
matte finals Of the ST. Valentine tour
nament, his opponent, Whittemore,
making a two at the same time. The
second was made by James Wilson,
professional, in a four-ball match.

All Players Who Started Against

Fordham will have a strong and vet
eran eleven next season. Taking foot
ball stock at Fordham yesterday dis
closed the fact that not one player who
started against Villanova on Thursday
will be lost through graduation or in
eligibility.
Dan O'Connell, who played fullbsck
in the first part of the Georgetown
game when he was injured, will be
graduated from the Law School in
June, bat he mas been unable to play
in the last few contests, and Dempsey
has proved a real star at fullback.
Captain Conklin is the only other
member of the squad lost TO the team
next year. Conklin was a substitute

Gargan To Be Retained
Frank Gargan, head coach of this
years team, who was responsible more
than any one else for the fine showing
of the eleven, will be retained as
coach, and il is likely that contract
for several seasons will be offered TO
him.
When the captain of the famous 1909
Fordham eleven was selected by the
alumni advisory athletic committee to
direct Fordham's football destinies a
step was taken in the right direction.

NOW ASSURED
Plans Completed for Gil
gantic Athletic Field at
Van COrtlandt Park
By A. &. CAyAGNARO

Plans for the erection OF the huge
playground ne the southwesterly end
of Van Cortlandt Park are completed,
and Thomas W. white. Park Commits
sioner OF The Bronx. hopes 70 see the
work get under way within two weeks.
10 is believed that the gigantic project
will be completed by the end Of July
of next year.
At present the twenty-four acres OF
land is inundated with several feet o.
water. owing TO tho poor sewerage sys-
TEN, and is a detriment TO the health
of the residents Of the neighborhood.
Commissioner white has been able
TO obtain tho appropriation OF $4,000
for the building OF the immense recre-
alton playground. Almost SIMILAR
amount will be required to realize the
Lest equipped playground and athletic
field in the country.
Although Commissioner white has
catered somewhat to the athletes OF
this city. however, he has not failed 10
make provisions for the thousands OF
small children and elderly persons who
travel TO the now inadequate play fields
at Van Cortlandt Park. II will in
dude separate Fairgrounds for boys
/ and girls. wading and swimming pools,
/ shelter house, eight lawn tennis courts
and a splendid grandstand, with a seat
ing capacity Of 10000 people.
Initiated with Championships
While the field is expected to be
/ finished by next summer, II will be
officially opened with q set OF local
championship track and field contests.
The running track will be quarter of
mile in circumference, with a width
of twenty-four feet and a straightavay
Of 220 yards. The infeld will be de-
voted entirely 20 the erection of high
and broad jumping pits and the other
field events. In all respects IL will
comply with the rules as required by
the Amateur Athletic Union.
The grandstand, which is to shut OF
the elevated structure on Broadway.
will contain locker and dressing rooms,
which are to be open for use by clubs
Of the Metropolitan Association, who
can assure the authorities that they
will be kept in good and clean condi-
ton. North Of the stand there will be
three tennis courts and a gymnasium
for men and boys. 100 feet long and
100 feet wide, while south Of the stand
girls gymnasium is contemplated, to
be fitted with locker and dressing rooms
for them, in addition to shelter house.
Near by the plans call to build a
recreation field, library, dressing rooms
and a lunch room.
Will Feature Bathing
A swimming pool rs feet wide By as
feet long Is planned south of the run
ming track. with four springboards, and
it is TO have $50 dressing rooms and
"a shower baths. At the northeast cor
ner of the field and along the tracks
OF the Putnam division Of the New York
Central Railroad Commissioner white
has hopes of constructing a wading
pool, 240 feet In length by 200 feet in
width, which in the winter time is to
be devoted TO curling enthusiasts.
Six acres Of land will remain, which
will be used as a playing field by boys
who have been unable TO obtain one
of the baseball diamonds at Van Cort-
landt Park.

IN COMING YEAR

Too much prosperity and the aging
Of many stars may weaken the Boston
Red Sox in 1917. Yet Foster, Mays,
Shore and Ruth should be better pitch
ers in 1917 than they were in 1916.
Hoblitzel never showed better form
than in 1916. 1t is not reasonable to
expect that Sir Richard will go back
over the winter. Barry will not 20
back, and if he does Janvrin is i'm
proving. Scott, too, Is very young and
will improve.
Gardner is aging especially in win
ming worlds championships, but 1915
was his best year Lewis probably will
go back, Walker will not improve, but
Shorten, really great hitter, will.
Hooper seems 10 defy time.
IL. may be that Boston will not 60
back, but three time winners are due
to retrograde.
One cannot predict for Chicago.
Jackson and +. Collins. the great pair,
are slipping. Yet Chicago's pitching
should be better in 1917 than in 1916.
Comiskey may acquire a new first base
man. In that event Chicago may be
stronger than in 1915.
Detroit almost assuredly will be
stronger. Jennings has everything but
pitchers. He will get one or two good
pitchers next year.
New York already is strong enough
10 win the championship Of the Ameri-
can League in 1917. Only an unexam-
pied run Of bad luck, injuries 10 Baker,
Maisel, High, Magee and Caldwell's
dereliction kept New York from being
a keen contender in 1916.
Washington is stronger than in 1915.
The acquisition of Leonard and Smith
helped Grifiith's hitting in the late au-
tumn. Milan was i'll and injured and
will bat better next year than he
batted in 1916.
Cleveland needs some pitching, which
1t will probably get. Chapman will
have a better year in 1917 than he had
in 1916. Wambsgsnss will be a vastly
improved player. Cleveland showed
enough last year to be feared in 1917.
The Athletics will be stronger, too,
but scarce strong enough to get out OF
eighth place.
The Browns should be a more vg-
orous factor next year than they were
this season.

JOHNNY GILROY,
OF GEORGETOWN,
SCORING KING

Washington, Dee. 2.-For the high
est individual scoring of the season
the country will have TO look TO
Georgetown University. Johnny Gill
roy, the Hilltoppers' speedy hRlfback,
has now scored l45 points. making
eighteen touchdowns and kicking thir-
ty-seven goals from touchdowns. This
is a higher total than that Of mis- near
est rival, Elmer 0liphant, the Army's
star backfeld man.
Two touchdowns against Tulane Unit
versity at New Orleans, December ?,
would put Georgetown in the front
among the country's highest scoring
teams. Georgia Tech, with total Of
422. is now the best scoring aggrega-
ton. thanks TO score Of 222 against
Cumberland early in the season.
Georgetown has not played a team so
weak as Cumberland and is yet but ten
points behind the Yellow jackets.
Coach ESendine, former Carlisle
star end and later assistant 70 Glenn
s. Warner, will take his Georgetown
squad to New Orleans Wednesday
night and will work them out Friday
before the game.
