Reading. Pa. April 12.--Stcvt
lerkes kicked himself last night when
he heard Reading obtained an Inter
national League franchise.
He was eager to play in Reading this
coming season, having his business here,
and held out until this week before sign
ing with Indianapolis. On Wednesday,
when it looked as though the Intcrna
tional had intended passing up Reading.
ierkes went to Philadelphia where he
signed a contract with Jack Hendricks.
the indianapolis pilot.
Now Steve is sorry he did not wait
a few days, as he is still anxious to
play in Reading. He is to leave today
for indianapolis, but hopes trade can
be arranged to bring him back here.
Steve is willing to purchase his release
from Hendricks, if the latter will con
sent.
Yerkes would be big card for the
local team and the fans would like to
see him in the line up. He is to cap
tain Indianapolis. but would prefer to
come here as one of the rank and file,
rather than remain in the American
Association.
The question of signing playing
manager is one which must be settled
at very early date, and. while there
are few prominent players in view at
present, it is not known just who may
be selected.
The schedule, which will be au-
nounced on April 81. will likely in
clude Sunday ball for Reading. Sun
day ball will be played in virtually
every city on the circuit.

TORRESDALE CLUB 4
TO ADD NINE HOLES
Donald Ross Plans to Carry Out
Changes in Present p
Links VI
WILL START THIS YEAR
BY PETER PUTTER

|
THE Torresdale Golf Club is the
l. latest of the nine hole courses to
increase the links to eighteen holes. and,
following the action of Gulph Mills,
Whitpmarsh. Rivcrton and other clubs.
Donald Ross will come here not only
| to plan the new nine, but to make
! changes in the present course.
Three of the new holes will be built
this fall and the rest probably will be
/ constructed next year. although the
club may decide to build the entire nine<
before next spring. This was decided on
at the annual meeting of the club held
a few days ago.
The reports of the treasurer and other
officials showed that the club is in
splendid financial condition and. with
the addition of the new nine holes, the
club will have one of the most interest,"
/ ing golf courses in the Philadelphia
district.
Plenty of Room
There arc sixty three acres in the
present property and a syndicate made
up of members of the club have bought
the adjoining property of fifty eight
acres. The creek running through the
present course is used as hazard on
several holes. and another creek on the
new property will be used so that it will
guard several greens and trap three of
| the drives.
There are 161 active members and
while the club has not mixed up in the
lntcrclub matches it is now in a posi-
ton to do so and next year will make
application to the Golf Association of
Philadelphia to play in the suburban
cup matches.
Thomas f. Coale is the president;
! William NJ. Wiltshire. the secretary,
and c. Wilfred Middleton the treas
urer. Mr.. Middleton is chairman of
the green committee and A. D. Ache
son the chairman of the house commit
tee. The club professional is j. w.
Sawyer.
Course Convenient
The course is bounded by the Bristol
pike and Grant avenue and is about
ten minute walk from the station.
| am under the impression that George
Sayers. the professional at the Merton
Cricket Club. laid out the present
course. 1t is only few years old and
most of the members on joining hai:
not played golf before. At present the
greatest interest is shown in the
ancient game.
The transformation of the Torresdale
Golf Club into an hole course ma
terially cuts down the number of 9-hole
courses in the Philadelphia district.
Frankford. Overbrook and Lu Lu Tenn
pie are other courses which shortly will
add another 0 to the present links.
Five years ago there were more hole
courses than Is by large margin A
year ago the number was about equal.
Next year of the thirty two courses,
about twenty will be IS and the others
will have 9 holes.
The growth of the game has been
such that as rapidly as a club can get
possession of the extra territory the
transformation begins. 1t is only
question of a few years before the o.
hole course, so far as this city is con
ccrned. will be thing of a past. The
increased cost of golf has been such
in the last five years that several of
the 9-hole courses are charging as
much money for membership as some
of the 1S-hole ones.

Larry Scudder to Run
on Camp Upton's Relay

Camp Upton yesterday sent word
that it would send down team for
the service championship relay race
that will be one of the feature events
of Pennsylvania relay carnival on
April % and 20.
This is the team that has been
doing such good work all season in
and around New York. Lieutenant
Larry Scudder, who ran so we'll
for Pennsylvania in 1917, is the star
of his team. Scudder is always good
for so seconds for the quarter and
will make good anchor man for
Upton.
The service relay now promises
to be good event, as Camp Meade
and League Island are definitely en-
tered, while Pelham Bay Naval
Training Camp and the First Naval
District of Boston are also expected
to send teams.

ROTH MAY BE. ADDED /
TO HOME-RUN TWINS
AS Likely to Produce Crcuit-Clouting TripIets in
Captain Bob, Burns and Walker-Tly Finds
BIeacher Range for First Time
BY EDWIN j. POLLOCK

GEORGE BURNS is laboring for @.
NJ Mack under large and grave han
dicap. and that probably explains why
the Tiogan has gone through seven
games without computing the home run
range correctly.
All last season Burns batted due south
of Tilly Walker and pro6ted ~ his ex
amples. When lilly lined the sphere
into the left field bleachers it was al
most an even money bet that George
would repeat. 1t happened so often
that they were nicknamcd the home run
twins.
~ This year. with the insertion of Cap
tain Bobby Roth, Mack has switched
his batting order. He hasn't split the
home run twins. but he has Walker
slugging at No. : with Roth at No. 3
and Burns sandwiched between them.
George has lost the benefit of Walker 5
. target.
Up to Roth
It's now up to Bobby Roth to get the
young Mack first baseman into the
home run mood, and Captain Robert is
very likely to turn the trick. He is
not reputed as great homer run slug
ger, having hit only fourteen circuit
clouts in his three and half years OF
big league ball. but seven of these drives
were made against AS pitchers at Shibe
Park.
If Roth comes through Mack will
find himself the guardian of home run
triplets instead of twins. Bobby
hasn't come through vet. but you cant
expect man to make good before he
starts. A few months after April %
will be much better time to pass judg
ment.
Tilly Walker registered his first home
run of the season yesterday, but il
missed being the initial four ply wallor
. four innings. Jim McAvoy snatched
the laurels in the fourth inning against
Penn and Walker came through in the
eighth. Walkers hit, however. went
into the bleachers on the fly, while Nc

Pacific Coast League
to Help the FOUNDED

A movement in aid Of wounded
soldiers has been started in the
Pacific Coast League and should be
taken up by the major circuits. The
coast league has decided to set aside
certain date. to be known as
Heroes Day. The net proceeds from
all of the games on that occasion
will be turned over to crippled SOL
diers. including ball players who
formerly were members of teams in
that organization.
Colonel Rupert, president Of the
Yankees, already has agreed to pro-
vide free baseball at the Polo
Grounds for not only the wounded
but also for men still in the army
or navy.
Why shouldn't all the big league
club owners get together on this
\ worthy proposition?

DODGERS AFTER MAGEE
Brooklyn May Get InfeIder In Place
of kopf

Lee Magee. the veteran intieder of
the Cincinnati club, may go to Brook
lyn as final payment for Jake Daubert.
Larry Kopf was included in the deal
that took Jake from the Dodgers, but
Larry refused to report to Brooklyn,
being one of the few remaining "honest-
to goodness holdouts.'
Cincinnati was bound by the agree
ment to furnish Brooklyn with another
player in case either Kopf or Griffith
held out, so it is now rumored that Ma
gee will be seen in Brooklyn garments
this season instead of Cincinnati garb.

Joe Dugan had field day yesterday.
and it is likely that he felt as il he was
back in the dear old college days at
Holy Cross. Joseph always has had a
liking for Penn pitchers, which will
be verified by the Red and Blue hurlers
of few seasons ago. The former Holy
Cross star wrecked the hopes of Shelly
and Joe Mitchell yesterday to the ex .
tent of three hits out Of three official
trips to the plate.
