Divot Digging

San Antonio golf fans may feel
complimented upon their sportsmanlike
conduct while following the big
matches. Macdonald Smith, who car
ries a lasting peeve against an Eng
lish gallery which, he says, cost him
the British Open title at Prestwick,
was pleased with the courtesy extended
him during his two rounds Friday.
Mrs. Smith, who follows her famous
husband continually, also was pleased
at the local fans conduct.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-CP1-
Veteran players rescued from the
back trails of the major leagues carry
the hope of Wilbert Robinson in his

tending position they held prior 70
1925.
His aim is q high-pitched offensive.
He will call upon the former Cub
infielder. Rabbit Meanwhile the fleet
ex-Yankee, Whitley Witt, and the
erstwhile Braves catcher, Mickey
O'Neil, to supply much of the dash

pected to return to third. while Hor-
ace Ford probably will be at short.

CUTTING DOWN COST.

Municipal links and fee courses
have partly made place for the golfer
OF modest means, but the demand has
not been half supplied. Another aim
is to get the price of golfing para
phcrnalia down to bargain prices. This
phase has also been taken care of
with prospects of still cheaper golfing
according TO Douglas Tweedie, west
ern manager for Spalding and Com
pany.
Reports of sporting goods sales
show that. while distributing appur'
tenances has fallen off considerably,
the selling of golf equipment has in
creased rapidly. While the highest
grade of golf balls has advanced in
price. there are cheaper ones of good
quality, and clubs may be had for a
couple of dollars, although fancy va
rieties run to high figures.
There is still a deartb of golf links
in small towns, but these places are
RAPIDLY getting courses. Golf is par
ticuIarly cheap in several cities, be-
cause land can be obtained for a
small sum, transportation is without
cost and there is no social side to re-
qulre large 1un0s.
An example of this frugality in golf
is found in Swift Current, Sask.. Can
ada. a prairie town of only few
hundred inhabitants, who struggle for
a homely existence on a bleak plain,
broken by bluffs over which only a
few years ago Indians chased bison
with bow and arrow.
HOW 1T STARTED.
Three citizens. who got a taste Of
golf while abroad as soldiers, obtained
permission to use piece of prairie.
invested five dollars in shovels and
picks. donned overalls and began to
dig out links for themselves. They
made three holes and induced some
fellow townsmcn to try their luck over
the rugged fairways from the earthen
tees to the sanded greens.
No western boom was ever greater
than that of the Swift Current Golf
Club, for within a few weeks there
were a hundred members, all willing
workers. They kept delving in the
prairie until IS holes were completed,
and then they Clipped in and bought
the land, some 400 acres. Using n
farm house for clubhouse, they be.
gan to improve the links with bunk
ers, watering plant and a rustic
gateway and now have first class
course.

the basis of his relationship to the

that he has been playing golf only

ARIZONA LAMB CROP
ESTIMATED AT $4,000

The Arizona lamb crop, for spring
delivery, is estimated at $4,000,
salable at $40 a head. This is in adj
dition to heavy lambing Of Arizona
sheep in California pastures, to which
the ewes were shipped for cheaper
feed than was available in Arizona
where drought continued through the
winter. More than half the lambs
shipped thus far have gone to Los
Angeles packing houses, the carcasses
to be shipped east.
Very little Arizona wool has been
marketed to date, though most Of the
shearing has been completed. Early
offers were st IS cents, lately ranging
up to Al cents for the cleaner grades.
| There is expectation of an ample
market soon-at around 40 cents.
| This year has been noted a dispo-
sition to clean up the floclzs, with dis
posal OF all cull8 and of aged ewes at
prices that have given the feeders
large profits.

CHARLES PERSON NOW
VlCE-PRES. EDISON co.

| A recent article in the Los Angeles
! Times advises, OF the promotion OF
our old friend Charles Heston Peir-
son to the vice presidency Of the
Southern Arizona Edison company.
Charlie made many trips to the Glen
/ Canyon damsite some years ago, and,
as usual with him, made many warm
/ friends here at the same time. A
suffering friend introduced him as
| Charlie H-h-h-h Person, SO we natu-
rally supposed his middle name was
/ "hyphen." The Times says of him:
Through his years in editorial and
executive positions with metropolitan
papers in the east and in the general
offices of the Associated Press in New
/ York, Mr.. Peirson brought a high
speed mind to the Edison company
+ that grasped the significance of hy-
dro-electrie development in its rela-
/ ton to the daily lives of multitude
of people. AS supervisor of informa-
/ ton, it has been his job to get an I'M
portant message over to the public
expressing the spirit of public-utlllty
service, and telling of the persistent
and dramatic struggle to conquer the
streams and the mountains IN order TO
| supply this service.
Charlie Peirson, as he is known to
hundreds of newspaper and magazine
writer's throughout the country, com
pleted one carefully planned campaign
early last year that registered on the
| first pages all over the world. Watch
inc the enormous increase in the Edl-
son concentrations for hydro-electric
construction on its Big Creek-San
JOAQUIN project, he caught 1T at the
point on the financial Thermometer
| where the total exceeded the cost OF
the Panama canal. This was the tele-
graph story that sent the news OF
California's greatest construction
achievement flashing around the
globe"
r. H. Ballard, executive vice-presi-
dent, says of Mr.. Peirson:
".Some write it with the pen. Some
take the sword, and with it write the
boundaries of new nations on the
globe, but this is Of man who writes
Iupon the rocks Charlie Peirson dld
/ his share with the pen.
Before joining the Edison company
about 20 years ago, Peirson, as part
/ of his newspaper experience, accom-
panied the eXpeditionary forces OF the
American army to San Juan ana
Porto Rico during the Spanish
American war. After the war he was
admitted to the bar Of the United
/ States court, but never practiced.
'He is best known to the neWspa-
per publishers as the originator Of the
Edison plan of display advertising,
which has been very generally adopt
ed and standardized by the large pub
Ilic utilities of the country"
The Sun merely wishes to add that
all the good that has been said OF
| Charlie Heston Peirson is none too
much.

MORE PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM STATE LIBERTY HALL

Peace officers over the state OF
Arizona are keeping a close vigil for
the apprehension of j. B. Van Ritter,
life termer who escaped from the
state prison guards last Saturday.
The convict made his escape from
road camp where he was working as
trusty, according to information re-
ceived by the sheriff's office and the
Phoenix police department.
Van Ritter, former butcher at
Tempe, shot down William Wolf OF
Phoenix in January, 1919 and manned
him for life. The shooting occurred
ON North First street between Mon
roe and Adams streets as the ter
mination Of a controversy over an au-
tomobile Wolf had sold to the butcher,
Wolf was paralyzed in the legs from
a bullet lodging in the lower part OF
his body.
Two other prisoners escaped from
road camps last week They were
Manuel Rogers, %, Spaniard, SEN
fenced to serve from one to five
/ years for stealing a motorcycle IN
May, 1925. The other was a Mexican,
Juan Galos, 25, given a two to three
year sentence last May when con
Victed on a grand larceny charge. All
three men we're sentenced from the

THE USE OF THE HORN

Hick automobile drivers some
times make use of automobile
horns which was never intended by
the manufacturers or those who
formulate traffic signals. The
hicks use them as signals to ap-
prise those whose attention they
wish to attract of their presence or
their impatience A driver stops
On business street while his COM
panion enters a store or office. The
hick gets tired of waiting and be-
gins sounding his horn, to the an
noyance of all in the neighborhood.
Il is frequently more than an
annoyance. If it is near a street
intersection, it is confusing and
misleading as to all pedestrians
and cars in motion about that inter
section. The horn should never be
sounded except as a warning to
moving traffic at an intersection
Beside, it is nuisance to other
persons than the one it is inteded
to attract. A half-dozen persons,
visiting as many stores and offices
in the vicinity, may each suspect
that the uproar is intended for him.
and each may respond. unless he
happens to know that the driver of
the car which he may be expect
ing is not a hick
There is one allowable use for a
horn beside that of apprising NOV
ing traffic at an intersection. But
it is use which ought not to be
provoked, and it is invariably pro-
voked by another hick who need
lessly blocks a thoroughfare and
keeps it blocked against all behind
him. 1t is proper then for ap-
preaching drivers to sound their
horns in an endeavor to recall to
him as much sense as he may have.
