Ebbets Sends Out
A Hurry Call
For Zach Wheat

Wilbert Robinson, manager of thd.
Brooklyn Dodgers, and President
Charles H. Ebbets, after long confah8
on Monday night decided to give in tds
the salary demands of Zack Wheat, ths
star outfielder, and telegram to that
effect was sent to Polo, Mo-, yesterday.
Wheat notified the club before the
season started that he would not play
ball this year unless he received this
same stipend as in 1917, an amount in
the neighborhood of $500. The Brooke
lyn club had insisted on cutting this
figure about $3.50.
All the Dodgers were asked to sig9
for smaller sums than last year, an1
all accepted the slash except ZACH
who delivered the ultimatum to EbsA
bets that he would remain on his fairs
and raise hogs and grain before be
would endure such humiliation.
Ebbcts was firm in his stand until
the long string of defeats bid fair td

threatened catastrophe, together VITA
the continual urgirgs of Uncle Robbss:
that the success of the Dodgers ds<I

fold finally induced the Flatbusn:
Squire to extend the olive branch. {.
1t is expected that Wheat will repore
to the team by Friday at the latest. He.

Oak Ridge Golf Club Plans
10 Open It's Season Soon

The Oak Ridge Golf Club, which has
fine, up-to-date clubhouse and a
beautiful eighteen hole golf cours.
$3.50 yards in length, located on hirh
ground, on the outskirts of Tuckahoe.
Will open its active season about the
middle Of May.
The members are now practising on
temporary greens under winter rules,
while Mr.. Fox, the clubs professional.
is experimenting the work of putting
in new bunkers and traps.
The tees and greens are all excep-
tionally large, we'll turfed and in first
class condition. The fair greens are
in excellent condition for a young
course, as the first nine holes were
completed only last spring and the
second nine holes were not opened
until the latter part Of the season.
The clubhouse, which was not COM
pleted until about the middle of last
summer, is built Of stone gathered from
the property. 1t is massive structure
and very roomy. The main building is
about 100 feet long by about 100 feet
wide. while the extension is 100 feet
long by 80 feet wide, with roof garden
over the entire extension.
The second floor of the extension
is the mems locker room and contains
800 lockers, eight shower baths, wash
rooms ana ali conVenlenceS, while the
basement Of the extension contains two
bowling alleys and the professional
workshop, which is 60 feet long and 20
feet wide.
The main building is three stories
high, with the third story containing
seventeen sleeping rooms, all with tele-
phone connections.
Among the sporty features Of the
course is lake to be crossed on the
sixth hole, where carry Of 100 yards
is necessary to clear the water.
The hole is only 18l yards long and
the par is 8, but the lake proves a
mental hazard to many of the mem
bers. and the same lake is stumbling
block to many on their drive from the
seventh tee, as the carry necessary is
about the same, although the hole is
bSl yards long, with par Of S.
The tenth hole, 342 yards, is an ell
bow hole. and sliced second shot will
