Ray will be here, Duncan, the pre-
sent British open champion will be
here and it has been announced that
Abe Mitchell, claimed to be the long
est hitter in the world. will come as
well as several Of the lesser lights in
British golf. Harry Vardon. who
played with Ray in an exhibition
match at Columbia last summer. will
not come over this year. He has
made his last American trip.
To uphold the reputation Of the
United States in this matter of pro-
fessional s91 there there H w,le De esrn 1ss
and Hutchinson. Leo Diegel, Jack
burke, Tommy Kerrigan. Tom Nc
Namara, Gil Nichols. Mike Brady.
Emmett French and scores of others
will be up there. battling with the
leaders next July and 1t is not too
much to predict that one of these
American stars will m unt tn e
heights where Ted Ray now stands
and bring back the championship to
the United States.
Mcleod VIII Be Factor.
Freddie Mcleod. the little pro at
the Columbia Country Club. who won
the open in 1908 over the difficult
Myopia course. must be considered
separately. McLeou Is someWHdt ol
an uncertain quantity. Critics every
where agree that Fred is easily
among the first ten American pro-
fessionals and also over his own
course he will take a lot OF beating.
In the opinion Of the writer, however.
McLeod's position in the coming
championship depends in very large
degree on the score made in his first
round of the championship proper.
Given a good start the little Scot will
take a terrific lot Of beating over
his own course.
As to the course, the links over
which the leading professional golf
ers of the world will battle for the
American open title next July will
be the longest Columbia course that
has ever been played. From the
back tees the course will measure UP
some $500 yards long. And like
wise 1t will be. aside from the point
of distance, the most difficult Colum-
bia course that any one has ever seen.
Changes now in progress and one con-
templated, but not yet started, not all
of which 1engthen it, will greatly
stiffen the course and make 1t one on
which a score of 10 will be a real
score indeed-even with the worlds
best shooting at this mark.
Course IL 6,3S7 Yards Long.
The Columbia course, by the card. is
3D.
the score card. however, the fourth
hole has been shortened and the fifth
hole made much longer. A new tee
has been built at the eleventh hole
and a new tee is under construction
at the fourteenth, making this a true
dog leg hole. A little distance will be
lost by shifting the eleventh green.
making the hole a total distance of
about 425 yards.
But yardage does not mean as much
at Columbia as at some other cham
pionship courses In fact, yardage
| will mean very little compared with
shot placing during the coming cham
| pionship. The long hitter who can
NOT place his ball about where he
| wants it will be playing under a dis
! adv vantage, while the accurate player
| of average length should find some of
the difficulties of the course ironed
| out to a large degree. The greens.
particularly the new one. have been
| SO constructed that they can be ap-
preached from only one angle. Any
attempt to play to several Of them.

Be easily accessible through virtually

greater city. The official name of the
park has not yet been decided upon.
Plans, drawn up by a firm of archi-
tects in Cleveland. Ohio. call for a
structure similar in design to the
Yale bowl. at New Haven. The build
ing at first, however, will not carry
out the plans completely, Col. Rup-
pert said. The club intends to build
only three sides of the structure
and erect temporary bleachers at
the end farthest from the home plate.
This structure and bleachers will pro-
vide a capacity of Sc. 900.
The closing of one street Is re-
Quired to complete the plans, but. as
all the adjacent property Is owned
by the Aston estate. ii is believed
that no objections will be made.

He explained that the Yankees

that, they will have a place to play
until 1923, il the new structure Is
not completed before then.

son Will Open March Is.

George Washington has no playing
field. but trif1e like that has not
kept Manager Ed Hanson from sched-
uling games for his base ball team.
Nine contests have been listed for the
Hatchetites. two others are pending
and the management hopes to add a
couple of local colleges. So far, Gal
laudet is the only District institution
that will be encountered.
Six of the games are to be played
on the home grounds and the problem
of securing them now confronts the
manager and the director of student
activities. 1t was deemed wise on ac-
count of this handicap to arrange only
brief campaign. The schedule has
not been ratified by the board of man

that it will be formally adopted when
the contracts are all in. The sched-

Freddie MCLEOD, the dimfnuttve Scot
wizard who won the national title
back in 1903 over the Myopia Hunt
Club course and who is at present To-
Gated here as the professional of the
st. Augustine links, is very enthu-
siastic about the course. He declares
it will surprise everybody who at
tends the national open this year.
Mcleod is the pro at Columbia, so
that it would be only natural il he
were inclined to sing the praises of
these links.
Mcleod Should Know.
But Mcleod has played practically
every course in the country, has par
ticipated in no less than eighteen ma
tional open championship tourna-
ments. and never has been outside
the money. The Columbian at present
holds the north and south open cham
pionship. and will defend this title at
Pinehurst or April and 2.
This speedy little star, who makes
golf play look like a simple parlor
game, Is more than enthusiastic about
holding the open on his course. and
says it is sure to give satisfaction to
everybody.
YES, you'll see a real championship
course when the time arrives for the
open." he said, in discussing these
links. 1T is in good shape now, but
after the few changes have been
made on some Of the fairways 1t will
be well-nigh perfect"

DO FERTILIZERS INJURE SOIL?

Fertilizers applied in rather small
quantities 600 to $50 pounds per
acre) to crops such as wheat, when
grown year after year, without
change, give an increase in the yield,
but have nc. influence in building up
the soil. If this practice is continued
for four or five years and then the
use of fertilizer is stopped, the yield
will be less than at the beginning. The
fertilizer has added less than the crop
has taken out, but it's use has made it
profitable to grow wheat somewhat
longer than if it had not been used.
Such observance has been made and
farmers have concluded that fertilizer
has injured the soil, when it was the
exhaustive cropping of the land that
was responsible for the injury. Where
fertilizers are used in small or in large
quantities in connection with salts
factory cropping system, and especial
ly where farm manure is carefully re-
turned to the land, no such effect will
be observed.

SAVE MATERIAL FOR THE
EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR

If the Farm Bureau Exhibit at the
State Fair. is to be credit to st.
Francois county, the united action of
many farmers is necessary. Some ma
terial has been collected but not
enough to approach the amount neces-
sary to make a good exhibit.
Farmers, to help in this work,
should be on the lookout for good
samples of second cutting of clover,
second or third cutting Of alfalfa, or
chard grass, Sudan grass, good sam
pies of wheat and oats, both in sheaf
and threshed, timothy seed, red top,
clover seed, blue grass. Irish potatoes,
sweet potatoes, other root crops, gar
den crops of all kinds, etc.
The sheaves of grain should be at
least four inches in diameter, under
the head. All small grain seed, grass
seed and potatoes must be at least
six quart samples.
Samples of products showing any
particularly good farm PRACTICE as
compared to poorer practices, make a
good exhibit. This might include
demonstrations on variety tests of
crops, early plowing fog wheat as
compared to late plowing, ahigh-grade
fertilizer as compared to low grade.
1t should be remembered that some
of these exhibits will be used inc the
Community Products Shows to be held
this fall and also in the County Agri-
cultural Show to be held in connection
with the County Stock Show. The
Pennington Chamber of Commerce is
cooperating with the Farm Bureau
in an attempt to make this County
Agricultural and Livestock Show a
good one. The farmers are assured
worth while prize money. If those
