by 10 to 8. In the first two in
nings the ShamrOcks played the
worst baseball they have been
guilty of this season, error upon
error being mixed with the Mo-
hawks bingles.
Ops Lusby started on the mound
for the Shamrocks and pitched fair
ball. His teammates poor efforts
offset his skill, to the extent that
the Mohawks scored nine runs in
the first two innings and made the
thing resemble a baseball farce.
But true to their reputation, the
Shamrocks finally settled down and
fought uphill, Bucky Burns deliver
ing timely smashes that helped the
Harps' run total. Burns was
manager of the Mohawks in 1922
when they won the city champion
ship.
Tommy Thompson relieved
Lusby after the MOhawks ap-
parentIy had the game on ice and
held the champions in check while
the ShamrOcks worked on For
rest Thompson, and later MaIIett
and Hudson, for enough runs to
come close to victory. A last-in-
ming rally by the ShamrOcks
darkened the Mohawk outlook,
but it ended when Dutch Smith
son rolled out to first.
The victory put the Mohawks on
top in Section B, unlimited class,
with two wins.
The Linworths, thoroughly re-
spected in the senior class, bumped
the Century team, 5 to /, it being
the Linworth's start in the series.
Hines held Century in check easily,
Linworths with three hits, including
d homer and double.
In Section c the MiIans tied st.
Joseph for the lead with two
Miians trimming the Mariners, 6
to 3. III. Richardson's clOuts, one
a triple, sent Milan runners fly
ing over the pan.
Bing, Epiphany Lutheran first
sacker, got the only bingle handed
out by Foley, of the Waverly jun
fors, the latter winning, II to 0,
in six frames. Foley and Homan
hit homers for Waverly. The Ar
gyle Props made it two straight
by knocking off the ST. Joseph

ONCE
BANNED GOLF
AS DANGEROUS

George Wright. the former baseball
star. who spends part OF each winter
at Pine Forest inn. Summerville, S. c.,
claims the distinction OF being the first
man in New England. II not in the
whole country. to play golf.
While looking through some cata-
logues of English made sporting goods
Mr.. Wright saw advertised golf clubs
and golf balls. He ordered a dozen
clubs and n dozen balls, but after they
arrived knew nothing about how to
play the game, and the clubs were put
away on the shelves for six months.
One day they were put in the win
dow on exhibition. and while there a
Scotchman saw them and Immediately
inquired for the locality of the golf
course. When Mr.. Wright explained
TO him that he did not know how the
game was played. the S~cdtchman,
whose name Mr.. Wright does not re-
member. ent him n book named
"Pa6.aington when he returned to
New York. and in tho book were all
h rules necessary TO play the game.
Permission was obtained from the
Boston park commissioners to lay out
the golf course. although they once
refused permission. on cot of the
game "being too dangerous" Mr..
Wright invited six of his old cricket
friends to play with him, and that
was the accepted beginning of the
ancient Scottish game in this country.
Mr.. Wright is a member OF the firm
of Wright & Ditson, tine. Oldest sport
ing goods house in America. having
been established in 1871 by Mr.. Wright.

Unless you are mighty handy with

-ne lead of the deuce of spades
showed an original holding of eight
spades in the south hand, and the
next W tricks marked south for three
red cards only. 1t seemed to the de-
clarer that these red cards would prob
ably all be hearts as he knew south
must have some high card strength out
side the spade suit, but tho d~eclarer
took round of diamonds in order
to play safe, and when the queen Of
hearts fell on his ace at trick five he
knew he was on the right track.
Having the lead forced upon him at
trick six north had nothing but spades
in his hand and made the obvious play
OF leading the king and another.
From this time the declarer had a sure
thing the remainder of the deal being
a regular dummy problem.
By playing out all his remaining
trumps he forced north to either
throw away all his remaining hearts
or to unguard the queen of diamonds
SO hat the declarer could win the
last two tricks either with two dia-
monds or the deuce OF hearts and one
diamond.
For the benefit OF players who End
~ NAihSGlb " hetp ldCh VI inc Gurus
1t might be stated that in a case like
this the declarer made a mental note
h a north held the jack and ten OF
hearts only, the rest OF his cards being
diamonds after the sixth trick.
During the rest OF the deal. there
fore. the declarer merely watched for
the Jack and ten of hearts and did not
concern himself at all about the num-
Der OF diamonds discarded by north.
This play by the declarer was FIRST
class. but south had an opportunity
ut trick Z for a really wonderful play
but failed to arise to the occasion.
He should have led a small spade
at trick Z and allowed dummy to win
with a singleton queen. thereby, of
course. losing his king of spades. Had
he done this north would inevitably
have won a trick In hearts and one in
diamonds, and saved the game.
South could really not have lost
by making this play as the trick made
by the king of spades must certainly
be lost. allowing the declarer to dis
card from one hand and trump in
the other.

MEMORIAL COLUMNS
AT ILLINOIS STADIUM

Franklin county. H., alumni OF the
University of Illinois recently char
tered a special train of nine cars to
bring them to the opening of the Uni
versity of Illinois Memorial stadium.
That's a symptom of the interest
which Iliini old timers are taking in
the great structure which their loyalty
has helped to make possible. Similar
plans r being made elsewhere. Tho
big job is to get the seats ready to take
care of the throng that will come to
watch the fighting Illini and their ira
ditional foemen. Coach Stages Ma
rooms. open the stadium.
There is no talk at all Of completing
the stadium by fall. 1t won't be ready
in its definite glory until the summer
of 1924. But unless there are n lot of
setbacks there will be seats for 10000
TO $4,000 enthusiasts this year.
Springs Late Arrival Hurts.
Given good fortune. the contractors
expect to make up for the delay. The
late arrival of spring was a heavy
blow. Another was the failure OF some
much needed pieces Of steel to come in.
h weather deferred the pouring of
concrete for the seats and far less steel
was erected han was hoped.
April finds the workmen busy, how
yer Orders and columns for the
balconies are being put in place. These
balconies. by the way. start at the tidy
height of 81 feet 3h inches and rise
to ITO feet Q inches. Drainage tiles
are being laid to complete the system
that will drain the field. Nearly all
of the e~xcavating for the playing field
has been done and the steam shovel
will make short work OF the remaining
cut.
200 Memorial Columns.
Tho committee on the memorial fea.
lures is to meet in April. and make the
final dispositions. There will be 200
stone columns each dedicated to the
memory OF an Illinois man who died in
the war. These columns will be ar.
ranged in two c~olonnades on both
stands n are expected to be impress
sive tributes to those who died.
Although nearly 50. 600. 900 has been
pledged by 1885 subscribers, it is esti.
mated that 500, 900 more is required
to insure the safety Of the project and
a campaign is to be conducted on the
campus 10 raise n portion OF this
amount. Tho rest is expected to come
from alumni who have been overlooked
in the past campaigns.

South advertised a strong hand by
bidding two hearts on the opening
round. Since east had doubled tho
no trump bid the bid OF two hearts
was overriding an opponent instead
Of taking his partner out on account
OF weakness.
Therefore north was Mortified when
he led the ace of hearts and saw the
frightful display in dummy. At this
stage of the game 1t seemed that the
oeclarer would probably make hts con-
tract n one trick over, making a
very expensive deal for north and
south; there was no possible way for
north to throw the lead TO his part
ner unless south held the king OF clubs
solace. n north therefore led n
small club. although there were eleven
clubs in sight in his hand and dummy.
1t was reasonably certain that west
could not hold both the missing clubs,
as in that case he would allow his
partners double OF three clubs TO stand.
The scheme worked all right and north
secured his ruff and took the ace of
diamonds to complete his book. There
remained one slight chance hat south
might secure n trick in the trump suit
and this also turned OF favorably.
giving north and south a gain of
200 on the deal instead of an enormous
loss.
The bidding of south and west, par
tcularly the former, was very poor.
The next deal belongs to the highest
class. the play by the declarer being
flawless while one of the opponents
missed a play which might have been
one OF the greatest eve made.
