Charley Ebbets Plays Golf and

HOT SPRINGS, Feb. 21.-If any
member of the Brooklyn National
League team has returned his contract
unsigned, together with request for
a raise in salary, that fact is not being
made public by one Charles Chubby"
Eboets, president of the Superbas CIR
ganization, and by the same token the
head of the National League pennant
winners doesn't indicate by an in
creased wrinkle or nervousness that he
is letting the probability Of "holdouts"
worry him any.
1t is well known that some of the
Brooklyn team have not returned their
contracts. One report has it that
eleven of the players took exception to
this years document. but Chubby"
isn't giving out any information on this
point. In fact, Ebbets has been so
busy playing golf. taking the baths.

Speaking of golf, the following dit
~. should appeal to the fiends who
daily inhabit the country side near the
Country Club.
Old Bogey was gentleman,
Some twenty years ago:
For when he plaved a round with you
He let you have show
Rut now the case is different;
Your joy he's sure to mar,
He's taken on another name
For now they call him-Par.
Old Bogey, with your whiskers,
I liked you better far
With that shrewd and ghostly look of
yours
Than ever Mister Par
When we are out to have a bout,
Naught shall my feelings jar,
You'll still be Colonel Bogey
And never Mister Par.

the following criticism of California
golf and golfers:

Naturally it is rather late in the

mere are several people who would
Ike TO know why there has never been

team IN Phoenix. BY professional it
is not meant to intimate that the men
must be paid just for playing basket
ball alone. but the word is used TO
distinguish that sort of team from
the high school.
There are anywhere from 20 to 50
former college stars in the basket

Let me tell you this, too. The time

will have to adopt strict policy Of re-

eight clubs to make the league. Well,
just as sure as the sun shines, four of
these clubs are going to be in the sec

the second division they face loss
financially. That is positive-the sec
ond division clubs play the losing end Of

clubs will be in the second division.

Germany it viii mean a big loss to

precautionary measure to safeguard
