The recent uncrowning of Ouimet as
a king in the amateur ranks has
aroused a storm of comment from all
the newspapers throughout the coun-
try. One writer makes the assertion
that as now Ouimet is no longer an
amateur he cannot. find any amateur
golfers to favor him with a match, as
on doing so they, too, will fall under
the ban of the U. S. G. A. This Is
absurd, for probably at some time IN

tion cannot be taken at all seriously.

short course not proving adequate for
the growing demands of the enthusiast

present site being acquired in 1909.
The services of H. H. Barker. IA

some time it was played as originally
laid out, but within the past few years
many notifications and improvements
have been instituted.

Since being originally planned by
Barker. DIR. Walter S. Harlan. who IS
directly responsible for the present ex-
ceilent condition of the course, has
obtained the collaboration and friendly
advice of Walter J. Travis of Garden
City who is known to all golfers as a
man possessing intelligent and modern
ideas in links building through his
great store of experience garnered
from his travels over the best courses
here and abroad. The efforts OF these
men have resulted in fine goif

what the initial outlay may be. The
one above mentioned might be taken as
a typical example.
First the soil was cut to depth of
twenty inches. In the bottom of the
excavation was laid five inches rub
bile stone. thus dispensing with tiles.
On top of this ten inches of clay was
laid smoothly, then came three-quar-
fers of inch of a mixture of Hol-
land peat moss, ground limestone and
raw bone. This was quite dense. Above
WAS laid one and one-qu8Tter inches of

came the seedbed of d 3-l6-inch thick
ness mixed in the soil and spread by

Smith when 1t comes to championship
claims. Al insists that jeff is the best
middleweight in the country today and
that he also defeated Les Darcy in
Australia, although the records show
that while he won on foul in their
first meeting, he lost on a foul the sec

Let Mike Gibbons fight him twenty
rounds to decision and decide the is

with Gibbons, and il he fails to knock
him out inside of the twenty rounds we

accept or turn the title he claims over
to Smith. Smith also stands ready to-
battle with Jack Dillon at apy time
