BUILDING GOLF LINKS
FOR STEEL WORKERS

By me Associated Press.
A modern golf course for workmen in
the mills at Ambridge, near Pittsburgh.
where structural steel is manufactured
in great quantities, is the latest devel-
opment of the game in the Pittsburgh
district.
The plan is fathered by w. c.
Fownes. jr., the veteran golfer, who
is financially interested in one of the
mills. and construction of the course
has been placed in the hands of Emil
Loeffier. professional at the Oakmont
Country Club.
Ground on the hills bordering the
mill village and near enough to be
reached by a few minutes walk has
been purchased, and the work will be
started in a short time.
Present plans are not to make the
course free to workmen who may
want to play, but to keep the cost so
low as to make it available for any
of them. 1t is designed for men and
women of the mill community who do
not go in for other sports, and will
provide them with recreation at a
cost which hitherto has been looked
upon as beyond their means.

Brilliant left-handed player. Ma
tional champion. 1918. Winner of
National patriotic singles tournament,
1917. Famed for his speed, especially
in serving.
The American twist serve i'm
parts top and side snin to the ball.
The left foot (for a right handed
player) is placed two or three inches
back of the base line and nearly
parallel to it, the body facing to
the right along this line. The ball
is thrown about 3H feet above the
head over the left shoulder and at
the same time the racquet is swung
back and up in an arc until it points
downward across the back, the ham
die being over the right shoulder.
1t is then swung up until it comes in
contact with the ball just as the
latter starts to descend, the point
of contact being as high off the
ground as possible. the server even
rising up onto the toes of his left
foot. The server should keep his
eyes on the ball until it is hit; this
is absolutely essential. When the
racquet meets the ball it passes di-
agonally across it and over the top,
so that it gives to the ball both a
top and side spin. causing the ball
to curve to the left and bounce to
the right. as shown above. The
stroke is finished (after hitting the
BALD by follow-through which ends
with the racquet nearly hitting the
ground couple of feet inside the
base line, and with the right foot
just finishing its first step toward
the net.
Tomorrow Murray will explain the
reverne twist service, which Is Just
the opposite of the one described
above.)

WOULD LIMIT MEET
TO MEMBERS ONLY
By the Associated Press.


Western conference schools only
should be permitted to compete in
the annual Big Ten outdoor track
and field meet. in the opinion OF Nell
son A. Kellogg, director of athletics
at Purdue University and chairman
of the athletic directors committee Of
the western conference.
The fact that numerous athletic or
ganiZations, not in existence when
the Big Ten track meet was formed,
now have track meets of their own,
Is given as one reason by Kellogg to
confine the event to Big Ten schools.
Barring non-conference schools
from the Big Ten meeting would be
an aid to the national intercollegiate
meet" Athletic Director Kellogg said.
Many schools feel that they cannot
enter both, so that if they were not
permitted to engage in the confer
ence event they would be almost GER
tain to enter the national meet"
Discrimination against western con-
ference schools by institutions which
enter the Big Ten event only when
the latter have exceptionally strong
teams was given as another reason
why the conference meet should be
only for members of the organization,
Director Kellogg said.

VETERAN EDITOR LEAVES WYOMING

one OF the most important newspaper changes that has taken
place IN Wyoming for some time was the disposal last week by
\. s.. Drury of the Wheatland Times to Harry L. Hayden.
Mr.: Drury, in disposing of his newspaper, announced that he
was leaving Wyoming but expected to continue his newspaper
work IN some other feld-leaving soon for a brief visit at his
probably, locate.
Mr.. Drury is one of the most capable and best editors in the
state of Wyoming and is especially we'll known in Carbon coun-
ty, having lived at Encampment for many years when that town
was a thriving mining camp. He was editor and publisher of
the Encampment paper and made of it one of the best news
papers in the state.
About ten years ago Mr.. Drury disposed of the Encampment
paper and removed from Carbon county, going to Wheatand
where he purchased the Wheatland Times. During the past ten
years Editor Drury has brought the Wheatand Times up from
a struggling weekly to one of the largest and most influential
newspapers in the entire state.
While The Republican has many times been unable to agree
with the views of Editor Drury as expressed in the columns
of his newspaper, yet we have always admired his courageous
ness, his ability and his foresight. Editor Drury has always
been an independent Republican but has never let party lines
interfere with his personal opinions. He was one of the leaders
IN the fight to elect Judge Carey as governor on the Democratic
ticket and in the recent election threw his supper. and materially
assisted in the election of w. B. Ross as governor.
The editorial page of the Wheatland Times has always been
filled with interesting matter and we venture the statement that
no weekly in the state has been so widely read and copied as has
Mr.. Drurys.
The newspaper fraternity, especially, regret to see Editor
Drury leave the state but all join in wishing the best of success
to his successor, Editor Hayden.

SARATOGA IRRIGATION PROJECT

This project is much better than l was led to believe even
after reading the report o fthe engineers who surveyed it." So
stated Commissioner of Reclamation Davis last Tuesday even
ing after personally inspecting the project.
1t is these words which have given to the people of this coun-
t, especially of the Platte Valley, great hopes for the early
construction of the Saratoga Reclamation project whereby &c, 900
acres of range land will be converted into farm land.
The construction of this project will not only reclaim 100000
acres of land but will also mean the continued operation of o
railroad of over 40 miles in length which serves an entire valley.
For over three years a strenuous effort has been kept up by
the people of this county to secure the construction of this pro-
ject. We have had as our leader in this effort our senior senator,
Frances E. Warren, who has at all times been ably assisted by
Senator John B. Kendrick, former Congressman Mondell, form
er governor, Robt. Carey, former State Engineer Emerson, and
man yothers, and is now ably assisted by our present Congress
man, Chas. E. Winter, and our present state officers.
Several residents of Rawlns have been. active in this matter
but especially so has been Geo. E. Brimmer, who has kept driving
upon the subject continually and has dozens of times made per-
sonal visits to Washington in the interest of the project.
The inspection party Tuesday, which comprised our two
United States Senators, Congressman, the Governor of Wyoming,
the State Engineer and many others-an thinking and working
for the best interests of the State of Wyoming, irrespective of
project.
