STYMIED

For months I've been reading
The dope on the game
And all that I'm needing
Is practice to claim
A deluge of honor
Perhaps win cup
Bnt I'll be a goner
Unless it warns up.
If it ever stops breezing
And blowing so much,
So l can stop wheeling
And sneezing and such;
If 1t ever gets nice on
The outside, methinks,
/ can conquer my slice on
The Lincoln park links.
If it ever quits oozing
And drilling, perchance.
l may get to using
A professional stance
But If it keeps raining.
As prospects now look.
I'll forget all the training
l got from the book.

son said to pupil the other day. He
dropped a ball on the tee,~swung back
his driver and the pill screamed ESQ
yards up the course.
s"Oh, my Gawd!" exclaimed the new
player.
Mrs. Dick Hayden, who played
her initial game of golf in the ladies'
day tournament at the Country club
Tuesday afternoon, claims the credit
for the most sensational showing. She
took 42Acount 'em-42 strokes on
No. 1. This smashes all course rec
ords. On three occasions she swung
five times at the ball before she hit it.
Mrs. Hayden-and her opponent-en-
joyed the game immensely.
Scores of Country club men golfers
stayed away from the links Tuesday
fearing the mud. Yet, in the after
noon, the links were well filled with
women.
Country club caddies fished the
bitches that drain the course Tuesday
and recovered scores of balls that had
been washed down by the heavy rains
Saturday, Sunday and Monday. One
golfer lost five balls in the swollen
stream that crosses No. 1 Sunday.
Balls that had been lost for weeks in
the long grass guarding the bitches
were washed out to the caddies who
made the fishing trip.
"Dick" Lee, who is playing his first
season. carried a 251yard drive on
the Dudley No. 8 the other day. The
ball kicked up the mud and rolled
two feet. Lee is to be reckoned with
in the future.
The Shawnee sand green's were
ruthlessly washed by the heavy rains
the first of the week, but the protect
ing bikes built by Groundkeeper Elan
ders saved considerable money and
time in repairs. The greens were re-
sanded and reoiled this week and are
in better shape than ateany time this
season.

The first report on the ringer score
at Shawnee is made today by Chair
man Anderson of the tournament
committee. The best score OF S5 is
turned in by Warren Bailey. Ander-
son reports only the low ten. Next
list will be printed.
1t will be noted that the Shawnee
ringers are not nearly so low as the
scores reported at the Country club.
Yet par and DOGGY on both courses are
the same. The secret lies in the fact
that the Country club has more holes
that can be made with lucky shots
than at Shawnee. where the rolling
ground and additional length OF the
holes call for more consistent play

The first traces of the aqueduct ar,
found about 200 yards east of the dan
Here, on the north side of the rivel
bed and half hidden under the growth
of underbrush, is the masonry form
of the semi-circular trench which con
veyed the stored water down to the
mission. The duet is built of stone
tile and mortar, and one may still
find shards of the tile scattered
along the course of the waterway
Many of the tile were taken from the
aqueduct. few years ago, and used in
the reconstruction of the Estudillc
house at Old Town-known as "Ra-
mona's Marriage Place"
Until the 1916 flood, it is said, the
aqueduct was so we'll preserved that
with very few repairs it could have
been used to bring water down from
the dam. Today it is badly torn up
In places great boulders have plunged
down from the hillsides, ripping frag-
ments of the structure away and ex-
posing cross sections of its construc-
ton.
Water flowed from the dam into
the aqueduct through a four inch gate
in the northern end of the dam on the
opposite end from the big flood gate.
The padres probably had num-
ber of reasons for building their dam
beyond the gorge. instead Of near its
western end, where explorations are
now going ahead to find bedrock for
the possible modern dam.
In the first place, they probably had
few surveying instruments. They
therefore built the dam far enough
upstream so that they would be sure
to get enough fall in elevation to in
sure good pressure. They had to
guess at elevations, so they built far
enough upstream to be sure of a good
fall.
The padres knew. too, that they
could not build high dam. A low dar.

Dream of Unknolun Priest
More Than 100 Years Ago
Is Nolu Living Reality

In Mission Valley a dream of 10(
years ago today lies unfolded in full
fillment, and the spectator lookins
down from the bordering hills see!
checkered with green acres of CROWN.
things, prosperous and productive.
That broad expanse of growing
green as it shimmers today in tn,
warm summer sunlight. is the visio'
of an unknown priest of San deg;
de Alcala. More than 100 years ago
he took thought for the greater pros
, perity of his little mission, and saw
las in q dream, perhaps,-the fertile
fields that might surround the mission
if water could be permanently s.oreC
for mission use.
This priest-his name appears in
none of the available records-fol-
lowed his dream by action, and the
| first step was taken in San Diego :
long quest for water.
The old mission dam, at the mead
of Mission gorge, six miles east Of
the mission buildings. was the result.
,, From the dam ran an aqueduct west
to the mission lands. Today only the
ruins of this first water system re-
main, while in the valley below water
from other sources has made the old
vision of the padres reality greater
than the dream.
Yet the ruined masonry of the dam
and aqueduct is today both monu-
ment and a prophecy-a monument
to the foresight and ambition of the
pioneer fathers, and a prophecy, per-
haps, of The time when the wasted
torrents of water that come down the
valley each winter may be imprisoned
and put to use by means of another
dam. This dam-if it is built-will be
immeasurably greater than the early
engineering effort of the mission
fathers, just as the locomotives and
the motor trucks of today are greater
than the OK carts with which the mis-
sion fathers hauled their supplies
along the valley roads.
The mission dam stands at the head
of Mission gorge, narrow canyon
about three miles long and narrowing
in some places to stretch of only
$50 yards or so between high rugged
walls of earth and stone. The dam is
reached by the Mission Valley road,
which leaves the river level at the
entrance of the gorge and winds along
the edge of the bluffs for three or four
miles. finally descending to the river
level again near the ruins Of the padre
dam.

1t is interesting to observe that
when Caruso made his Naples debut
he sang the title role four times for
which he received 100 francs. pair
of stage shoes, suit of fleshings and
a neckerchief.
Although no official statement OF
his earnings was ever made public, 1T
is known that Caruso, at the height
of his Metropolitan career, was re-
ceiving an average of $4,000 for each
performance. On special occasions,
such as his 1920 season in Havana, he
was paid $4,000 night.
The list of Italian and French operas
in which the noted tenor's name flg-
ures since he first sang in New Ytrk
revealed an amazing versatility. In
| 16 years he sang no less than 549
times in one season. 1907-08 making
81 performances, a great test OF end
urance for any voice. He was un-
sparing if not reckless, of his vocal
powers. No grand opera tenor IN
America from the days of Brignoli,
Campanini, Ravelli, Tamagno and
Jean de Reszke, it is recorded, ever
reigned so long in popular favor.
Caruso. after his strenuous opera
seasons, sometimes had trouble with
his throat, which he usually overcame
with little rest and care and at GER
tain intervals rumors that "Caruso
will never sing again" were printed.
In the winter of 1920 however, he suf-
fered a serious affliction when a small
blood vessel in his throat burst while
he was singing in "E'lisie d'Amore"
in the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Recovered from this mishap, Caruso
was stricken with pleurisy.
