kid GOLFER WAS
REAL SENSATION
OF LAST SEASON
Jerry Travers Believes Bobby
Jones' Work Last Year Was
Best in Golf History

A certain acquaintance, talking a bit
of golf to Jerry Trayers a few days
! back, stated that in his opinion the
record individual achievement Of the
| season was Jerry's feat in beating Gil
Nichols and Walter Hagen and then
finishing l down only to Jock Hutch
inson, all in three successive days.
Jerry, however, failed to second the
motion. I'm my opinion" hesaid, the
greatest individual achievement Of the
last season was made by young Bobby
Jones' Just figure the whole thing out.
Here was a 15-year-old kid, playing
over three strange courses, and within
three days he beat three of the best
professionals in America-Emmet
French, Freddy Mcleod and Cyril
walker-all exceptionally good golf
ers.
Three Strange Courses.
Il can't recall any achievement in
golf, barring perhaps Ouimet's victory
over Vardon and Ray, which con-
slider a superior affair. Young Jones
had never played either Garden City
or Baltusrol. He had only played ST.
wanoy once. Yet over these three
standard courses, among the best in
the country, he stopped three top
notch professionals, one an ex-open
champion and the others rated as for.

Many Detroit Recruit Players Game From
 Championship Teams

Detroit, April 6.-Detroits scouts seemed to favor champion clubs in making their selections of recruits last season.
 An unusually large number of the youngsters that will have their major league trials this-spring helped to win flags in 1916, and if. the Tigers happen to be in a penhant fight this year the experience will be no novelty to most of the newcomers. Six of the eleven that are training in the South were members of teams that copped last year. In some cases, where the sea- son was split, the outfit adorned by the new Tigers won only one-half.
 Ellison and Flanagan helped Mus catine to finish first in the Central As sociation, the former as a third base man and the latter as a pitcher. Twenty-six of Muscatine's games were thrown out on some sort of techni- cality, and the club was dropped to fourth place. Nicholson assisted Char lotte to grab the second half pennant in the North Carolina league and then to clean up Asheville four straight in the post-season series. Wood pitched Portsmouth into the top place in one half of the Virginia league season.
 Watson was of material assistance to Dennison in annexing the Western Association gonfalon and Ehmke's great work made the New York State league a regular romp for Syracuse. The ,youngster won 31 games and the club was credited with only 81. It could have finished first with G8 vic- tories.
 \ Dyer was with the Denver club that finished fourth!in the Western league. though it was first in batting. Bobby Jones' San Francisco outfit had to be content with fourth in a six-club cir cult. Yelle was one of the runners-up with Providence in the International, and c. Jones, the pitcher, was also a runner-up with Clinton, of the Central Association, after the league got through pruning the Muscatine clubs S winning record.

Steel Men Hesitate Regarding Adoption
 Of U. $. Price List

New York, April 6.-The Iron Age saws. regarding the terms on when steel mills will take the United States Government orders:
 .sThere was further conference m New York Tuesday, between the steei manufacturers committee and the metals commissioner of the Councll of National Defence. It is probaple that the Governent will buy in the near future for it's own wants and those of shipyards which are to do It's work. 5OO,OOO tons of plates, shapes and bars. Substantial concessions are to be made from current prlces' but the proposal to take ten-year marked average was not adopted, as that would represent less than cost to companies not owning their own ore and coal.
 s"The problem is not as simple as 1t looks to be, or as the precedent or a 50 per cent cut in the copper price would suggest. Copper at one-halr off the market still gives 100 per cent profit to many producers. A steel plate price of cents instead Of 6 cents would mean a fraction of a cent above the cost to a mill paying $35 a ton for basic pig iron. The lnte- grated companies could only stand 1t by telescoping the profits now made on coke, pig iron, and ingots."-

America Outraged,
 Switzerland View

Geneva, Aprl 6.-Great emotion has been caused in the little Swiss Repub- lie by the news that it's great repub- lican sister is about to enter the war. The Journal de Geneve says:
 "Gefmany sees new adversary rang ed against her, great country of 1OO.OOO,OOO inhabitants, whose wealth is immense, whose resources ara in- exhaustibIe and who will bring into the war it's inventive genius and the steadfastness and energy of it's invin- cible people. It is not only for it's in- dividual rights. it is for entire human ity that America draws the sword.
 America certainly would not have drawn the sword if the public con- science had not been outraged by an accumulation of horrible acts. Will the German people understand the meaning of the American flag flying over European battlefields?"

Spring Planting
 Directions From
 Farming Bureau

Washington, D. c. April 6.-Many home gardeners are asking the spec iahsts of the U. s. Department of Az riculture whether it is safe to plant any vegetables in the open ground while there is still some Likelihood of light frosts. To aid these home gard eners the specialists have worked out the following grouping of common vegetables according to their ability, if planted in the open, to withstand spring frosts. These directions, of course, do, not apply to the planting of seeds in hotbeds or seed boxes to secure plants which afterwards are to be transplanted.
 Group Plants not injured by a light frost These may be planted as soon as heavy frosts are over or usual 1y as soon as the soil can be put in good condition Cabbage, Irish pota- toes, early peas (smooth types as dis tinguished from wrinkled), onion sets, salad crops, such as kale, spinach; mustard. At the same time start in seed boxes in the house or hotbeds, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers cauli- flower.
 Group 2-vegetables which should be planted only after danger of hard
 
 nips, carrots, beets, wrinkled peas, early sweet corn.
 Group 3.-These should be planted after all danger of frost is past: String beans, sweet corn Oate varieties). A few early tomato plants may also be set out, but care should be taken to protect them from any sudden chilly weather, by providing a shelter of newspapers, boxes, etc.
 Group 4-This group should not be planted until all danger of frost is past and the ground has begun to warm up. Included in this would be cucumbers, melons, squashes, pump kins, Lima beans, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers. Plants of tomatoes, eggplant and peppers which have been grown in boxes or hotbeds should be ready to set in the open at this time
 In order to insure a steady supply of vegetables. crops like peas, beans, and lettuce may be planted every three or four weeks, whenever the space is available. Some of these can be planted in the spaces made avail able by removing the other crops.
 If your garden is small, do not at tempt to grow potatoes or late sweet corn. It is better, the specialists say, to select half a dozen crops which the family likes than to grow 15 or 20. If the size of your plot is less than 49 by 100 feet. or 4.ooO square feet, it usually is not advisable to grow late potatoes or late varieties of sweet corn. It might be we'll to devote a small sec ton to an early variety of sweet corn, such e. the Golden Bantam, ec. to plant row or two of early potatoes.

 These facts were brought out dur ing lively discussion as to the can ceiling of the championship and tour namentS schedule. The point was es- tablished that at that time and fol- lowing the declaration of war against Spain the American game really ben efitted and did not suffer, as had been feared at the time when would be the case. Applied directly to lawn tennis, the Spanish-American war served as a blessing. It brought to the front Whitman, generally consid- cred among all competent authorities as one of the greatest lawn tennis players this country has ever produc- ed. A.
