begin the season early with an inter-
club spring championship starting
about the last week in April. This
match probably will be played on the
Shawnee course, as the Country club
this year will entertain the pan-city
ampionship and the state invitation
tournament.
There are two distinct advantages TO
an fnterclub Championships gives
golf a good jumping start early in the
year and it prepares Topeka's crack
golfers for the state tournament in
Wichita in June. Topekans have been
handicapped on state tournaments due
to the lack Of competitive play before
the contest. An interclub affair would
put every one in trim.
Plans will be worked out by Frank
Griggs, of the Country club and
Charles Anderson, of the Shawnee
club, for this spring opening.
There is room in the two Topeka
golf clubs for about 100 new mem
bers. This vacancy will be filled this
month and means that the capital
city will have at least 500 active golf
ers by summer. No other city of So
600 persons in the United States is
displaying as much interest in the
game. Topeka's loss of professional
league baseball will not be felt among
sportsmen this year.

Women and Girls of Topeka Are
Enjoying Pool-Tennis Courts at
Eighth and College in Shape.

I'm learning to swim at the Y. w.
Z. A. is one of the most frequently
heard remarks among the women and
girls of Topeka. Many of them are
beginning their swimming instruction
now in order to enjoy the swimming
season to the fullest. Rivalry between
the swimming pupils gives added
zest to the lessons as each one prides
herself on the progress she can make
in the fewest lessons. The average
Anne Of learning is in five rsix les
sons. The association offers a course
of five lessons at a low price.
Those who can swim are beginning
to go regularly to, the association pool
for plunges. The pool is kept clear
and clean.
The Y. w. C. A. tennis courts are in
order now at Eighth and College ave-
nues and are being extensively used
for so early in the season. Arrange
ments for use of the Y. W. c. A. courts
may be made at the Y. W. c. A at

THE THIRTEENTH HOLE AT DALLAS.
I've tackled many a problem worked out by
Donald Ross,
I've had high hills to shoot at, and lakes
TO drive across,
I've fought my way thru bunkers which
try all goifing souls,
And l thought had encountered the mean
est golfing holes;
But bumped in one in Texas to BATTLE
shark or dub.
The thirteenth hole at Dallas, of the
Dallas Country Club.
It slopes towards a river, and the river
winds and bends,
And the stream is so contrary that 1t
hasn't any friends;
There is trouble all around you, from the
tee up to the green
And for downright cussed meanness, it's
the 1neanest hole I've seen;
It's golf ball cemetery, of confusion it's
the hub,
Is that thirteenth hole at Dallas, of the
Dallas Country Club.
Now l face the future calmly and there's
nothing more / dread,
bitches, bunkerS or barapcas, I'll not care
what lies ahead;
There is no distress before me like the
grief which lies behind,
I'll meet any golfing peril with a calm
and tranquil mind,
For there cannot be another hole for mortal
Nmen to flub
Like that thirteenth hole at Dallas of the
Dallas Country Club.

The graduation of winter into spring
golf has been carried on, thanks to
the weather man, almost without a
struggle. At both the Shawnee and
Country clubs the game has been fol-

winter one or two foursomes could be
seen on nearly every hole. The weather
has been especially advantageous to
new players who have been able to
slip into midseason form without the

regulars.

Shawnee's dream of a clubhouse on
