! This expert remarked, "A golf
course is designed for men who can
play golf"
The other member answered, mo,
a golf course is designed to play
golf on"
In many golf clubs are two or
three amateurs who, along with the
professional of the club, can break
20. Often they believe that the
course ought to be designed to meet
and holes are changed and traps
added here and there to satisfy
their whims.
The fact is overlooked that
there are several hundred other
, members of the club who find the
course in its original condition
plenty difficult enough. This major
ity OF average players are the
ones who support the club and
are usually the backbone of the
organization.
They care not for cups and
and do not worry about par
and brides and eagles. They
simply go out to the course, ar
range matches with their friends,
and enjoy themselves.
If a golfer who: makes the game
his business finds that his home
course is too easy for him, it is A
bit selfish to risk. that it be made
harder. He can go elsewhere and
find courses just as difficult as he
desires.
There is no reason why he should
spoil the fun of the ma jority of the
club members who find their
courses to their liking.

Bentley's sale to tina Giants
was contaminated several months
ago. 1t is only now that he
makes belated effort to pry
Jack Dunn loose from some of
the money paid by the New York
club.
II am entirely satisfied with
the contract the Giants have sent
me-" Bentley is quoted as say
ing, "but / shall never sign it
till Dunn gives me a share of
the purchase price"
In other words, if the Giants
want him enough, let them try to
get the money from Dunn. If
they fail-well, of course, Jack
will take the money, even though
it may come from the Giants.
Bentley is too old in baseball
to think he can get away with
either effort. He has worked for
Dunn long enough to know the
Baltimore mans penchant for
shaving dimes and shearing
nickels.
p. If he has the slightest idea
that the Giants will fix it up by
giving him the money, he should
ponder long on the case of
Fuller. .-.

But scanning the lists of the
visitors and then looking over the
personnel of the Blue and Gray,
there appears considerable evidence
of the fact that Georgetown seems
at least able to hold her own in
any of the scheduled events. The
performances of the Hilltoppers on
the boards during tne< last few
weeks have given rise to consider
able comment on the part of, East
ern track and field critics and they
are unanimous in declaring George

teams in the country.

Herb Pennock Last
OF CarrigSn's
Stars

Boston's regret in losing
Herb Pennock seems to be Of
a sentimental nature. He is
the last of the stars of the old
Carrigan regime and the fans
hate to see him 60. His
transfer to the Yankees cannot
bring forth much regret on the
basis of his work last season,
because he lost seventeen games
and won only two. George
Murray ought to be able to do
better than that for the Red
Sox next season without half
trying.

certain fat sum from Jack
Dunn, the Baltimore mogul.
Last summer it was generally
written that Bentley had ode
manded" he be sold to the majors.
Well, Dunn has sold him. If Bent
ley wanted a slice of the pur-
chase price he should have made
his demand before he was sold.
He should have obtained Dunn's
written promise to this effect.
Bentley made no such demand,
so far as known, nor did he OBJ
tain Dunn's written promise.
From where we sit, Bentley's
chances of getting a cent from
Dunn are matched only by the
chances of snowball's life in the
neither regions. ..

Fuller Loses Out.

TuHeT LOSES OuJ.
A S for Fuller, he seems to have
~ lost out whatever chance he
might have had of breaking
into the ranks of the New York
Giants. McGraw flattened him as
he might have mosquito buzzing
around his ear.
Heinie Groh won't last forever.
frankie Frisch may go back to
third base this season. But it
won't be Fuller who will be sent
to second base. Johnny Rawlings
will be the lad.
Fuller, unknown to fame, had
the audacity to demand treatment
given only to experienced major
league players. He has drawn his
due reward.
Jack Bentley, fine chap per-
sonally, is threatened by much the
same treatment accorded Fuller.
He should remember that the New
York club, acting in all good faith,
has paid over hard money to Jack
Dunn. Cecil Causey has been re-
leased to Jack Dunn. The Balti-
more man will hold the Giants to
their promise to send him two
more players by a certain date
this spring.
Bentley seems inclined to be
temperamental. If he is planning
to leave baseball flat, that is his
prerogative, but singing the New
York club to favor Jack Dunn is
hardly the thing to do.
Possibly, if Bentley decides
finally to consider the sporty side
of the situation, he may sign with
the Giants and prove his worth on
the diamond.
But if he doesn't, the New York
club will manage to get along
without him one way or another.
And Jack Dunn will merely grin,
for he will have the money and
the players.

Derby at Churchill Downs last Ma.
AS result Norwich just breezed-
through the mile and quarter dis
lance to an impressive victory and
then, being a Splinter at heart, was
beaten off badly in subsequent starts
by all manner of inferior horses.
In brief, the Derby was a personal
triumph for Fred Burlew.
He realized that Norwich had only
one good race in him at distance
and hence declined to send the colt
above a mile in-fraining, in spite OF
unsolicited advice to the contrary.
So much for Burlew as a track
wise individual. His opinion in the
present instance is not influenced
by any particular Partially for the
section of the country in which he
now reside-merely by the fact that
that section happens to be respon-
sible for the colt he favors. The en-
try in question is Enchantment, of
the Harry Payne Whitney stables.
81 believe Whitney has the next

chantment," Burlew declared re-
Gently. 81 will be sadly mistaken
If he does not win, or, If by the
time the race is held, he is not

vich was.
"Of course, there are many others |
that must be regarded seriously. |

and Messenger a create colt, but |
no filly can be favored to win the |
Derby, and Messenger went wrong |

look for the winner to score as
handily as Norwich did. AS result

old division this season. 1t. will only I

Efforts of the national politicians
to inject the wet and dry question into
the coming presidential campaign bids
fair to be successful. The republican
party will no doubt pose as carrying
the banner for the drys and endeavor
to force the democrat party to take the
defensive and go on record as being
wet. Old timers remember when the
ISSUES of a village, city or county
election were narrowed down to license
or no license. wet or dry, and, many q
battle was fought out along these
lines. However. about the best way to
settle the unrest. the dissatisfaction
and resentment incident to the present
prohibition act is to permit it to be-
come a national issde in a presidential
campaign. 1t may teach the poll
ticians a lesson.
