AROUND LOCAL COURSES WITH
THE MAN WHO COILS
FOR SPORT
By DICK MILLER

1t must have taken a lot of high
powered imagination to cause that
large turnout at Highland club
Wednesday night in the interest Of
golf. Ooh what q night.
| Arch Grossman, the club presi-
dent, and Edward Wuensch. chair
imam of the entertainment commit
tee, are credited with having put
over large evening. AS one might
read in the village paper, "A good
time was had by all"
1t was our good fortune to run
into John Ferree, former Butler Col
lege athlete, Wednesday, John was
bubbling over with enthusiasm about
| the new layout at the Pleasant Run
course for the 1926 season. With all
the vigor that big Jawn" formerly
hit the line for the Bull Dogs as
full back, he sang praises Of Wally
| Nelson, the professional at the
course, and to whom goes the credit,
according to John, Of laying out one
of the most natural and wonderful
courses in this part Of the country.
The course has finally been en-
/ larged until it is a natural eighteen
hole course, after years OF talking.
To play the course, one crosses and
recrosses the creek that runs
through the grounds, eleven times.
| Hardly a green can be seen from the
tee. and the fairways are full of
natural hazards. Greens are we'll
trapped and built up, and best OF all,
| they are all we'll on the way to full
coverage with bent grass.
Ferree could not resist telling
about the wonderful time he had
recently when the Pleasant Run club
met. Nearly a hundred persons were
in attendance. r. Walter Jarvis,
superintendent of parks, and sew
eral other guests gave short talks.
The real kick of the evening came,
however, when Wally Nelson, club
professional. gave some demonstra-
tons pointing out the common
Weaknesses of most golfers. lie be-
came more interesting as. he glanced
around the table and recalled by ac-
ton some OF the individuals
faults. His little sketch went over
big, according to Ferree.
The club officers elected for this
year, Jake Velker, president; Milton
McGaw, vice president, and John
Cody, secretary and treasurer. urged
the committees on, various events to
get into action. T. H. Fittz, chair
man Of entertainments, shot
birdie" Saturday night. according
to Ferree. in spite Of the fact that he
designated John as chef" of the
sandwich wagon.
ssa
The tournament committee, OF
which Harry Odds is chairman and
Clarence Herschel and Donald
Monro members, said they would
have some good stuff mapped out in
the near future. The handicap com
raittee was busy trying to figure out
the new course details.
Because the entire course has
been changed and considerable in
terest has been taken In the new
arran cement efforts to have Wally
Nelson play the course for the read
ers Of this column will be made
during the next few days.

N. Y, Showing Tremendous
Hitting Power, Considered
Pennant Contender.
By Henry L. Farrell
United Press staff Correspond


NEW YORK. April S.-Baseball,
with its uncertain ways, may pro
duce any kind of surprise during the
regular season, but it can hardly
equal what the training season pro-
duced in the New York Yankees.
Not so many weeks ago, in their
first week in their training camp,
the former America n League cham
pions looked like a grammar school
squad on a picnic.
But in a few weeks, the Yankees
became not only a ball club, but j
dangerous contender for the Ameri-
can League pennant.
Murder Pitching
The estimate Of the strength OF
the Yankees is not based entirely
upon the form shown in the ex-
hibition series with the Brooklyn
Robins, but the heartless way in
which they have murdered high
class pitching means something.

and discovered no evidence Of low
blow. Dillon weighed 12714 and

Not all Of the Indians arc what
one would can ready for the bell.
Ainsmith and YOier are nursing

an edge ON condition over the

The same system was followed in

While admiring the strength Of
the Cards, the diamond performers
