Griff Tries New Scheme.

Clark Griffith wages his battle against
the trick stuff in a different manner, but
in perhaps an even more effective way.
A year or two ago there wasn't a pitcher
on the Washington staff who doctored
the ball. Every other club in the Amer
lean League had two or more pitchers
who depended for results on trick stuff.
The Washington club was constantly
forced to go against freak breaks. while
the pitching staff of Griffith handed
wasn't long before "Griff'' began to crate
about it. Mere talk, however, didn't get
him anywhere. Then he decided to re-
sort to the extreme. The word was
passed to- the Washington pitching staff
that they were to go the limit in doctor
ing the ball. Almost overnight. Rub it
up!'' Shine it up" became the college
yells on the Washington club. At this
minute l can hear ''Griff with that
sharp shrill voice. yelling to Walter
Johnson, in a pinch, to Shine 1t up.

on his fast ball last summer that would

Just how the ball will break with trick

LENGTH
LINKS SOON READY
Work Progressing on Course
of Washington Golf and
Country Club.
BY w. n. McCALLUM.

The Washington Golf and Country
Club is about to realize it's wish for a
course of standard length.
Work has been begun by the greens
force at the club within the past two
weeks on construction of the new
holes in the land acquired last spring
by the club north and east of the
present fourth tee. This work is
continuing under the guidance of \
G. Flynn, young course architect
from Boston. who has been put in
charge of the Encouragement of the
course and construction of new holes
The original plans for the new
course, as drawn up by Walter J
Travis, have been considerably
changed by Flynn, protege OF
Travis. who has been put in COM
plete charge of the work and who is
receiving suggestions from Hugh
Wilson. an authority on course con-
struction. One thing that pIeases the
board of governors of the club is that
Flynn's plans eliminate in great
measure the need for laborious h.
climbing, some of which could hardly
have been avoided under the Travis
plan. Another feature of Flynn's
work is that on several of the new
holes carry varying from 1875 to
175 yards will be very necessary if
the player is to secure par for the
hole

Big Change in Fourteenth.

A great change will be made in the
new fourteenth, which will cover the
fairway of the present twelfth. The
tee will be placed north of the pres
ent twelfth tee along the bank of
the brook, and the hole will be made
one-shotter for the long player.
The green used will be that of the
present fifth. and the hole will be
about 30 yards in length. The al
Tentative for the short player Will
be to put his tee shot where the
twelfth green now is and play across
the ditch
The tee for the new fifteenth will
be about thirty yards back of the
present thirteenth tee, and play Will
be into the bowl in front of the pres
ent thirteenth. Here the resemblance
ceases. From this point the player
is expected to put his second shot on
giving the hole a dog-leg character.
The pits in front and back of the
present green will be removed and
the green changed in character. The
tee for the new sixteenth prohab.y
will be located just west of the pres
ent fourteenth green, and the new
green will be in the orchard west
of the present sixteenth. The seN-
enteenth tee will be located in the
orchard and play will be across the
ditch to green about where the
present eighteenth tee is situated
The new eighteenth tee is expected
to be placed on the ridge above the
present thirteenth green, and play
will be to the present eighteenth
green.

What Plans Contemplate.

AS at present contemplated the
new course will contain the first
three holes, with the third hole con-
Siderably shorter. The new fourth.
now under construction, will go north
from the present fourth tee dis
lance of about $40 yards. The fifth
will go east about 400 yards and the
sixth. about 42O yards, coming west.
The seventh will be a real two-shot-
ter, running east again about $50
yards, ana the eighth will come back
west down a small hill to distance
of nearly 500 yards. The new ninth
will be a radical change from the
Travis plans. The tee as at present
planned will be west of the present
fourth. and the green will be between
the two hills now forming part of the
present fifth hole in a grassy hollow
The new tenth tee will be located on
top of the highest hill in front OF
the fifth tee and the long player will
have a carry of about IFS yards to
secure a mashie pitch to the green
which will be the present eighth con-
siderably enlarged. The short player

being the largest.
The queen of the Belgians. the
Prince of Wales, and other foreign
dignitaries together with Gen. Per-
sliing and other notables have plant
ed memorial trees. The forestry asso
citation points out that these trees all
will be famous hundred years from

ident. wants complete list of famous
trees now.
There is the Liberty tree on the
campus of ST. Johns college at Ann
