OLYMPIC COURSE IN
GOOD CONDITION FOR
CHAMPION GOLFERS
(By Associated Press)

ANTWERP, Belgium, May Is
Players in the Olympic golf cham
pionship events to be held in connec
tion with the Olympic Games, begin
ming on July IL will compete on a
course that offers few terrors to the
steady straight driver who is an accu-
rate judge Of pitch and distance, but
which promises untold difficulties to
the man with the slightest tendency
to hook or slice.
The Associated Press correspondent
recently went over the course, which
is that of the Antwerp Golf club, at
Cappelinbosch. about Is miles from
Antwerp. There are no pronounced
elevations, but the 18 holes of the
course are dotted all about with nat
ural bumpy little hummocks of hard
while sandpits and annoying little
cup-like depressions vie with artifi
cial bunkers, tiny water bitches and
particularly nasty stretches of trees
or rutty highroads on or bordering
all the fairways.
at is course which should be
played over several times by any one
who intends to compete in real
match" the correspondent was told
by one Scotch officer-a scratch man
at St. Andrews-who found difficulty
sometimes in making the round in
DOGGY, which is Is.
The length of the course is $500
yards-2885 yards for the first nine
holes out and 2935 yards in, with
DOGGY 80 both out and in. The long
est hole, the fifth, is $40 yards-the
cleanest, widest straightaway of the
lot, though even this offers occasional
pitted or wooded difficulties, and the
shortest is the 18th, $50 yards, a nice
little pitch for the accurate mashie but
so full of trouble in the shape of
bitches, bumps and traps that only the
scratch men generally make it in the
three strokes set for DOGGY.
Just now, after the spring rains,
the entire course is spongy, but, dur
ing the baking hot weather which is
customary at Cappelinbosch in July
it becomes hard and bumpy, giving
much bound and roll to the ball.
The greens, which have been wei
kept despite the war, are composed OF
a thin messy grass, fast but here and
there just a bit bumpy. Most of them
are protected by pits or bitches before
and behind, and are particularly dan
gelous for overshots.
The course has been we'll arranged,
with only one possibility of cross-fire
o. interference in its whole length. this

HOPPE WINS N, LOSES 2 BOUTS
IL ROUND BOUTS in
KENTUCKY; JUNE Is
(By Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, KY. May 15.-
Twelve round no-decision boxing con-
tests under supervision of state COM
mission became legal in Kentucky
June Is. For years an anti-prize fight
law has been on the statute books
which has operated to bar almost
any kind of ring contest. This meas
ure is still in effect but new law
passed by the last legislature becom-
ing operative in June contains an ex-
emption clause.
This provision affords protection
for clubs and boxers operating under
a license system in about the same
manner hat the state racing commits
sion protects race tracks to which it
issues licenses. Gloves are limited to
six ounces.
The commission which is to be COM
posed Of three persons, will work out
the rules for the conduct of matches.
1t has the power to license or refuse a
license to any club or person desiring
to promote contest. 1t may not is
sue licenses to a nonresident of the
state, and a nonresident is defined as
a person who has not resided in, Ken
lucky for three consecutive years.
Licenses will cost $500 each. Five
per cent of the gross receipts of each
match must be set aside for the state.
The office of boxing commissioner
carries no salary. Its annual expense
is limited to $4,000. This is to include
salary to secretary and travelling
and other expenses of the commission.

z (By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-An
tween the best women golfers of
to be. made by those entered from this
part of the state in the California
women's golf championship at Los
Angeles, May II.
Representative teams will be avail
able from both ends of the state, it is
said, thus eliminating the obstacle
that has prevented the staging of
such match in the past.
The state championships for women
will be played on the Beverley Hills
links near Los Angeles. The fairway
has been watered and" the course is
said to be in excellent shape.
Mrs. Hubert E. Law of the north
'ern contingent who has held the state
title for three years will defend it
next week. Other northern state en-
tries will be Miss Edith Chesebrough,
Mrs. Robert A. Roos, Mrs. Charles F.
Ford, Miss Josephine Moore, Mrs. H
A. Prole, Miss Lucy Hanchett and
Miss Alice Hanchett.
Among the southern players are
listed Miss Peg Cameron, Mrs. Do
lores Roscoe, Miss Doreen Kavanaugh,
Mrs. Guy Cochrane, Mrs. M. A. Keg-
ley, Miss Katherine Mellus, Miss Per-
ley, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Griffith and
Mrs. Thomas.
Mrs. Luther Kennett recently won
the southern California women's cham
pionship from Miss Kavanaugh and
she will probably lead the southern
delegation of players.

Young Hoppe. the pride of Ell
Centre, established record during
the past season of the Ell Centre
Athletic club that will be hard to
beat. Since the opening of the 1919
70 season he has engaged in Is
bouts, losing out of that number
only two scraps.
Young Sweeney Of San Diego was
the first victim of the local wonder.
Dick won by decision.
The following week they staged a
return bout which was declared "a
draw.
Soldier Collette of Calexico was then
matched with Hoppe. The soldier had
been cleaning everything coming in
his direction, and he was doped to
hand a trimming to the rising star.
He lasted less than three rounds and
then took the count.
NEW X. o. KING
From then on Hoppe was known
as the K. o. King. The next three
matches ended via the K. O. route.
Joe Burns of this city but late of Los
Angeles. and Kid Griff were made to
take the fall in less than one round
both in the same evening.
Butch Murphy fell also during the
third round of their scheduled four
round go.
X. o. Carter made his appearance
about this time, and match was
framed between the two lads. 1t end
ed in well earned draw.
The next week Abe Sherman OF
somewhere, dropped into town and
asked for match with the toughest
man in seven states, offering to add
500 to the purse, winner take all
After some consideration Dick was
asked to meet the man, which he did
The match lasted three rounds. They
tell US Abe hurt his hand.
X. o. Carter was returned with
Hoppe for lads first main event. He
gained a decision. 1t was one of the
best matches ever staged in the local
club. Both lads were on their feet
every second. The last round ended
like whirlwind.
FIRST DEFEAT
The next bout was Hoppie's first de-
feat. Phil Mata was brought over
from San Diego and offered to risk his
Far Western title on the outcome.
The lads were again brought to-
gether, this time ending in a draw.
The next meeting, on week later, end
ed with Hoppe knocking the Far
Western champion to every corner of
the ring, winning by a cleancut de-
cision.
Following the second meeting of
Malta and Hoppe, Harry Woodbury.
announced that he was going to stage
three more. climaxng with George
Thompson, the Pacific Coast champion
and the holder of the 91st division
title.
Hoppe places by virtue of his VIC
tory over Mata. Jack Douglas was
the next battler to face Hoppe. The
first bout ended in draw. The next
Hoppe wins by a big margin.
LOSES TO CHAMP
Thompson was the last man in the
contest, the winner to meet Pete Her.
man for the worlds championship.
Thompson wins.
Popular demand requested that
Woodbury. stage one more match and
Ernie Gussman of San Diego, was
brought over from the coast to meet
Dick. The match was declared draw.
In announcing his retirement from
the fighting game Hoppe said, 81 do
not wish to follow boxing as a profess

in selling it's stock:
First: That it's holdings

field between Newhall and
Ventura, thus bespeaking

Second: Its small capital

thus making it an invest

and insuring that the small
stakeholder will get some

School Council Has
Busy Session

In the regular meeting of the
Garfield School council, the Social
Education Committee recommend
ed that the school have an evening
session on the evening of April Is,
in order that the parents may get
a better idea of the work being
done by the Garfield pupils. This
was voted upon favorably by the
council members and awaits the
report of the action of the teachers
and the assembly rooms to become
a reality.
The Recommendation made and
voted upon last week to run the
school under the Daylight Savings
plan was misunderstood by several
council members so the call was
made for a reconsideration of the
question with a result that it was
voted down. The members did not
approve of running school on the
Daylight Savings plan when 'all
other local business was conducted
on the system now in use.
Council members approved of the
recommendation brought forward
by the General Exercise Commit
tee that traffic officers should be
appointed for duty in the halls
for each rest period and each dis
missal period of the day. One
for each of these times will be APP
pointed from Room and tho
other one (for each time) will be
appointed from Room 6. No at
tempt will be made to enforce traf,
fic rules except when traffic Of
ficers are on duty.
In order to correct the unfair
representation of the assembly
rooms in the council it was voted
that besides the two regular mem
bers now selected from each room,
one more should be elected from
each of the two largest rooms.

A Bit Of A Tale
OF Old Erin

There are no better fairy stories
in any country than the ones that
come from Ireland. The people
in many parts Of old Erin believe
that fairies sleep beneath the sham
rock leaves which are so common
in Ireland. They think that only
people who have the fairy vision"
can see these little people, and
that these fairies weave a golden
spell around the people who believe
in them.
Ths-harp too, is an instrument
that has been played and cherished
by the Irish for centuries. 1t is
not like the beautiful large harps
that we see here sometimes. These
large harps are Italian instruments.
The Irish harp is small and was
carried over the shoulder even in
warfare where it furnished the
music for the Irish soldiers.
The harp is pictured in the Irish
flag.
Last Wednesday was a day which
is especially celebrated in many
countries by the Irish, though
people Of many other nations join
the celebration for many reasons
Wednesday was the anniversary
of the day of st. Patrick's death
and st. Patrick was the man who
first took into Ireland the Christ
ian message. The Irish people
at that time were living in a very
primitive state and it took much
more courage for man to be a
missionary there than it would in
these later days. 1t is for this
the Irish love his memory, that he
first began to drive evil from their
country-or as they say 1t in their
own fantastic way he drove the
snakes out of Ireland.

Here Is A Real Juliet

Madge Belamy is just fourteen
years old and has taken parts on
the stage in New York and many
other cities. One day her mana
ger found her acting out" the bal
cony scene from Romeo and
Juliet" So Mr.. Gillette made a
scene especially for her, a wood
scene in the moonlight and little
Miss Bellamy was overjoyed to
really be Juliet, in soft white
gown and with her hair unbound.
Those who saw the scene acted
were charmed with it.
AT first we think this is very
young Juliet, but we are told that
when Shakespeare wrote his play
Romeo and Juliet" he thought of
his heroine as only fourteen years
old, so Miss Madge Seems indeed
to be a real Juliet. - at least, as
far as age is concerned
