With work being rushed on the new
clubhouse and changes in the course,
Rock Creek links will soon be ready
for the unattached golfers who
swarmed over the East Potomac Park
course yesterday at the opening of the
season.
Workmen are busy remodeling the
dining room, which has stood since
the opening of the course, and are in
stalling new lockers for both men and
women. This work and the altera-
tions in the course, changing it from
8 holes to Is, should he completed
by the latter part of the week. af
fording the linksmen an opportunity
to indulge in their favorite sport be-
fore the beginning of April.
Several of the holes on the old
course have been eliminated in the
new plan, and the old fairways have
been widened.
A system Of interchangeable tickets
will be instituted by S. G. Loeff1er,
who is to supervise Rock Creek this
season. The arrangement will enable
players holding season tickets at either
Rock Greek or East Potomac to play
both layouts without additional cost,
Monthly tickets will be sold as usual,
and there will be no increase in
prices. Last years bus service will
be continued.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, March 20.-It took

w. Ii. Abbott, Clemson third
baseman, suffered a c0ncussi0n of
the brain i'm the third inning, when
Douglas WycOff slid into him at

tiOn on the field.
w. T. Martin, Clemson right

will set a record for the city.
A sports club, to be operated as n
stag hotel, will connect directly with
the main building OF the Garden and
offer conveniences to members, visit
ing athletes and the general public.
Davis and Marshall are the sole
hackers and managers of the project,
although j. II. de Sibour, who will
act as architect, also is interested.
Meyer Davis already is the owner of
Il number of the most successful
amusement centers in Washington.
including two of the leading bowling
establishments. Marshall has worked
hard for several years to populariZe
the game of basket ball in this sec
tion, and controls the local franchise
in the American professional league
VIII Open i'm the Fall.
1t is planned to stage the opening
of the Garden abont September /
with program that includes a match
between the Palace Club court team
| and some out-of-town combination: a
billiard match bringing together Willie
Hoppe and Jake Schaefer, former
world champions, and an all-star

10 the installation of facilities for the
noiding or indoor track meets. A track
measuring 10 laps to the mile and hav.
ing 75-yard straightaway will circle
the big arena, making the Garden the
center for indoor track and field ath.
letlcs during the Winter months.
Professional league basket ball
games will be played on the new
court twice a week throughout the
season, according TO George Marshau's
present program. 1t is felt that the
size or the Palace teams following
lustlfies such an increase in the num-
Der of home games and that the prof.
ect VIII be received enthusiastically.
crowds of 10000 have been recorded
at professional contests in the West
and 1t is believed that Capital fans uI.
tiniately will turn out in something
like equal strength.
Equally as pretentious as the plans
for basket ball is the bowling pro
gram which Meyer Davis is sponsor
| ing. He believes that the con
stantly increasing interest in the
game has reached a point where the
sport may be placed on a profes.
| slonal basis, with a regular schedule
| OF intercity matches. Plans for the
formation of national bowling
league have been under. consideration
for some time, and during the 1926-27
season the first steps toward the
formation of such an organization
will be taken
No phase Of organized sport has
been overlooked in planning events
! for the sports palace, which should
| be TO the District what Madison
| Square is to New York. Indoor ten
mis- courts will be provided for and it
is probable, according to the pro-
moters, that a siX-day bicycle race
will be among the events to be staged
next Winter.
/ Another interesting angle is the
consideration that is being given TO
the installation of facilities for ice
skating and hockey. In view of the
enthusiasm with which Washington
takes to the ice whenever the occa-
sion arises, serious thought is being
given to the placing of refrigerating
pipes under the main floor so that
rink can be created on short notice.

Shamrocks and Mohawks. both in
the same division, are located in the
