CARD CATCHER
WILL TAKE UP
REALTY
Vernon Clemens Never Re.
covers From Leg injury
Last Spring

Vernon Clemens, veteran catcher
of the st. Louis Cardinals, has de-
cided to give up baseball. 1t is said
that he plans to go to Chicago to
become associated with Chicago
real estate firm.
Clemens suffered an injury to his
leg during the training season last
year which kept him on the side
lines the major portion Of the cam
paign. A short time after the
season opened Hickey sent him to
Milwaukee in a deal whereby Jimmy
Cooney was acquired by the Cards.
But when Clemens reported to
the Brewers it was found he had a
floating cartilage in his leg, and he
was returned to the Mound City
clan. He worked in a number Of
games near the close of the season
and hit well.
Clemens began his career with
Bartellville in 1910, and when the
club disbanded he joined Wichita,
He had several tryOuts in the big
leagues with the Sox before he was
acquired by the Browns in 1915, but
again was sent back to the minors.
His return to the big sticks found
him in a st. Louis Cards uniform
in 1919, and he became the ace Of
the st. Louis receiving staff.

The fight wasn't a great one.
Stribling won seven of the ten

than Delaney, but did not show any
inclination to adopt aggressive tao
tics until the last two rounds. The
youth showed a better left than
Delaney, and the latter was eau
toned several times for holding in

Burning Tree, rated as one OF
the sportiest and best courses in
the Atlantic States, has been open
for months. Fact is, the course has
practically been open all winter.
With the exception of a couple of
days when the course was covered
with snow, members have been
stewing over high scores right
along.
BannOckburn, where they have
a new and an old course, the
members are using the old nine

in use two weeks. On all these
courses play has been possible under
winter rules, whenever the snow was
not hiding the ground.

Does Hole in Three
But Takes Seven
Do it Again

When a golfer completes
seventy-two holes of tourna-
ment play for a total Of 284
strokes and wins a prize of
81 500, it would seem as il little
were left to be desired, so far
as his particular game was con-
cerned. For all that a study OF
Joe Turnesa's card in the re-
cent San Antonio event reveals
the fact that the Fairview pro-
fessional really threw away
strokes.
At the fifteenth hole on his
second round the first day Joe
took a seven. He had had q
three at the same hole in the
morning and he got fours both
times there on the second day.
A four instead of that seven
would have given him 2S1
total, but as it was he averaged
better than even fours for
seventy-two holes.
