Tee, Faiirway and Green
SQUARE AND COMPASS CIIn
By CHICK EVANS


 Indicative of a new order in golf club promotion. the Square and Com pass is about to be emblazoned on 1 the portals of a new links in the l Chicago district.
 So great has been the spread of golf in America that this move on the part of the Masonic order.-- building it's own course for Chicago Masons-may easily be the beginning of an era in which will flourish the golf club fostered by boards of com merce, fraternal organizations, pri- vate commercial organizations, etc. for the exclusive use of their mem bers CT employees, as the case may be.
 The first club of the kind in the Chicago district, and perhaps the first one of the kind in the country. is the new Acadia Country club. which is an outgrowth of the Mystic Golf association of Cook county. This organization of golfing Masons heretofore has conducted several tournaments each season at different clubs about the city. This group Of golfers became so numerous and so enthusiastic about the game that out Of the enthusiasm came the promo ton of tine Acacia club
 Light On First ones.
 The Masons have introduced two factors into this promotion which are most comendable and sensible and which are worth serious consid- eration on the part of other organi- zations, anywhere, which might wish to duplicate the example. First, the cost of membership in this new Masonic club is s100 each for the first 200 members The second block of 200 members will pay s210 each. The annual dues are $50 per year.
 It is right and proper that the sec end block of members should pay more than the original enthusiasts, because the hard work will all have been done before most of the later members come into the project, but even so, the charge asked for the last 200 members gives them pri- vate golf club at most reasonable fee. I wish golf everywhere could be roviGed for not more than S200 for the initiation and $50 a year.
 In the second of the two impor- tant factors of the Acacia club is this, the Masons intend to do with IS holes becomes perfectly clear and until the members can see the IS holes without a special assessment being levied. The second nine holes will be created when there is suf- ficient money on hand to build them."
 A Golfers Tax.
 From nineteenth hole conversa- tions at golf clubs everywhere, one of my golf fundamentals is that it is better to have nine good holes, paid for, than IS holes and a debt, since the debt must always be trans lated in terms of special assess ment. Special assessments are the same thing to golfer as taxes. only worse.
 The Acacia club has acquired 12S acres of land. which is sufficient for an IS hole course, thus assuring it. self room for development. The pro- ject is so well under way, under stand, that it is assured of com plete success. Its officers are James D. Gibson. president; Dr. Dudley Dean Bayless. vice president; Dave Baxter. secretary; F. c. Tubbs, treas urer. The governors are R. J. Bar nett, William J. Bourland and Frank Baumel.

FORMER BARONs HIT HOMER

HOT SPRINGS. Ark. March 2S.- Pittinger's five hits out of five times at bat in the practice game between the Boston Red Sox regulars and annigans, and the perfect fielding of the Pirate regulars in a similar contest with the second lineup, were feature events of the major league training here today.
 Pittingers blows were three sim gles and two doubles. The final re- suit favored the second team by a score of 13 to 10.
 Besides their faultless defense, Mo- kechnie's best bets continued their heavy stick, Barnhart and Glazner hitting homers, and defeated their understudies, to 5.
 Both major squads are rounding into form and Managers Chance and Mckechnie seem pleased with the progress of training.

Sixth Game Out of Ten Dates
 Already Passed Goes by the , Boards, Due to Weather

Like salt. the Barons' jinx can't be shaken in wet weather. cause he's not that kind of jinX. On the oth- CT hand he is that kind of a jinx, and the Barons suffered another out rage at the hands of their wet weath CT jinx Wednesday. when the exhibi- ton game with the Connie Mack Athletics was postponed on account of rain and wet weather.
 When spring training first began, Billy West. secretary of the Bir- mingham club, announced very nice exhibition schedule for 1923; in fact. eorling good exhibition. Some of the best teams in organized base ball were billed to perform at Rick wood, and it looked like a great year for Baron fans right from the start Now, the outlook is chang ing. after disappointment has fol- lowed disappointment. and game after game has been rained out Something must be done," gloom fly hinted Joe Dunn, after Wednes- days postponement. And Joe is right, something should be done, but there seems no one present quite able to bell the cat. or plug the leaks in the clouds. Still, something should be done Perhaps Henry Vance's pet invention--a specially constructed sponge to be hung in the clouds over Rickwood and absorb all the mois- luTe lndI ldllS--Cdu pc brought Into use. Henry should succeed, for he aims high enough.
 The Barons have had ID exhibition Samos scheduled thus far this sea son. and exactly six of them have fallen through, due to leaky clouds of somebody leaving the ice box lid open.
 Game on Thursday.
 However the clouds and thes itua- tlon cleared up somewhat late We'd neSday afternoon, and all indications are pointing to q good afternoon for baseball Thursday. Billy West stat ed Wednesday night that every eff fort will be made to stage a game Thursday, As the man who handles the money and pays out deficits, Billy West can be counted upon to do that very little thing he is promising.
 The Athletics, in charge of that veteran pastimer. Harry Davis, ar rived here Wednesday. only to gaze around, note the low hanging clouds the occasional drops of moisture and bad weather generally. Well, it's that much like Montgomery" mur- mured Davis to some of his hench- men. and went on to explain that the Athletics, while the yhave not been greatly hindered by weather condi- tions at Montgomery. have tasted their share of Pluv's wrath.

CLASS D LEAGUEI SUPPLEMENTARY YET BE ORGANIZED|
ANNISTON BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! AnnistOn, Ala, March 28

Further activity toward organizing Class D ball league in this sec
 tion of the state was shown today on receipt of letter by local en- thusiasts from W. F. Orman, of Sel- ma. who was selected as temporary head of the organization. With the refusal of Piedmont to enter the league, the outlook was not very bright for organizing ball this sea- son. but now that an effort is being made to interest other towns in this section of the state, there is possi- bility that the league will yet mate- rialize. Officials of the tentative or
 ganization are now in touch with Huntsville, Florence and Albany. with the view of making the organi- zation an eight-club league. Sporting enthusiasts are looking with favor on the proposal of Mir, Orman, ana hopes are entertained that some defi- nite steps will be taken to enter the league. Five cities have already pledged themselves, Anniston, Gads- den, Talladega, Rome and Selma.

 Manila, Sept. 12.-The controversy between Governor Gen. Leonard Wood and native government officials and party leaders was revived when Man uel Quezon, president of the Philip pine senate, and Manuel Roxas, speak CT of the house of representatives de- clared in public addresses that it was their intention ito reduce the gover- nor to mere figurehead."
 Speaker Roxas said:
 Filipino members of the cabinet and our other representatives in the government have encroached on the powers and prerogatives of the gover- nor general. That's true. We have encroached upon the rights of tna governor general because in that guise liberties are won"
 Quezon said:
 Tt will not be betraying any secret here if say that our object is to re- duce the governor general of the Philippine islands to mere figure head. It is unpatriotic for any Fili- pino to stand by Governor Gen. Wood in his policies"
 The senate president referred to the British self governing colonies and said that the Filipinos wanted q gov ernment similar to them.

EARTHQUAKE NOT CAUSED
 BY VOLCANO, EXPERTS SAY
Japanese Disaster Result of Dropping of Layers 0f Earth's Crust, Is
 Opinion.

By The Associated Press.
 Osaka, Sept. 12.-The earthquake shocks which wrought such havoc in Japan were not of volcanic origin but were caused by violent dropping of two portions of the earth's sur face, according to an official com munique issued here which quotes Dr. Tatsutaro Nakamura, professor of the imperial Tokio university and a seis- typographical authority.
 The seismogist holds that the first and heaviest shocks arose from a violent disturbance of the level of the earth's crust in the region ranging from Ito, noted hot spring resort be- tween Oshima and Atami to some- where near the Miura peninsula. This disturbance originated in the sea bottom near Ito, he holds.
 The disturbance is supposed to have originated very near the naval base at Yokosuka and to have af- fected that district. Two other specialists in seismology endorse these views. the communique de- clares. It continues with the state ment that despite rumors to the contrary, there has been no damage to Oshima, the picture island, nor any other of the seven islands group nor has there been any new volcanic activity.
 Damage to the peak of Mount Fuji the communique ayers can be distinguished from a point three miles away. Lowering of farm lands in the Tateyama district on Boso peninsula by about six feet is re- corded. while reports of submergence of some lands at the tip of this pen- insula, previously reported is con- firmed.
 The sea bottom level of the Boso peninsula the communique says was raised about six feet for a consider able distance. Specialists are inves- tigating this phenomena.

Quebec, Sept. 12.-The Prince of Wales travelling as the Baron of Rem frew, arrived today on the Empress of France.
 Firing of being hailed as the future ruler of the British empire, the prince chose one of his many other titles to travel under and thus escape the for malities accorded a parsonage of royal blood. He wanted to dodge the plaudits of the multitudes, enter Canada quietly and be on his way to an Alberta ranch where the papers say he will eat boarding house hash and other simple fare.
 A prince isSa prince, even though he be only baron, figured the resi-

dents of Quebec. Therefore, the baron being prince, a princely well come was in order.
 Crowds gathered early at the pier to meet the baron and as the Elm press of France steamed to her dock lusty cheer went up.
 Being only baron the Prince of Wales did not even rate special cut ter to reach the shore. There were no officials to accord him an official reception but the unofficial one made up for that.
 The baron went from the ship to the chateau Frontenac on the bluffs. Tomorrow he will travel on private car, attached to a regular train to- ward Alberta.
