I He Y GIVE
RESlQ IS
BY Bingy Bryan

Through the long winter months.
two men have watched over the
Indian Spring golf clubs course.
That long tiresome job of trodding
the cold course, while other menu
bers were hugging the home fires,
will reap rewards this spring and
summer when the sun shines lot
and golf is played under ideal con.
ditions.
John Mccormick; chairman of
the greens committee, and Dick
Watson, green's keeper, are the two
men in mind. They worked with
untiring efforts to give club men,
bers a first rate course, and they
have succeeded.
First they installed an 1S.holeI
putting course near the club house
and while putting practice will be
available, it will be converted into
an obstacle putting course, a game
interesting to say the least.
Pathways and greens were
never better, as far as condi-
tiOns at this time of the sea:

in many places has been drained
and now players will not be dis.

and stick into the soft earth
on number two and 18 fair.
ways. s
Ssix-inch drain pipes have been
laid through the fairways, and these
drain into the lake, thus making
more water for golfers to carry on
their tee shots. Pathways one, two
and three and seven drain into the
lake, which, incidentally, makes the
lake deeper and broader, to the dis

For the past year members have
been playing temporary green at
number five hole. The new green,
which has been under careful con,
struction, viii soon be ready for play.
1t has been brought along under the
watchful eye OF Mccormick and Wat
son, and in this. too. the work is
well rewarded. 1t is equally as good
as number eight. and that's saying
something.
The entire course. including
fairWays, greens and grounds
surrounding these, show results
OF good work on somebody's part.

lieyabIe, so thoroughly has the
job been done.
Not alone has attention been

WASHINGTON, Oct. IS, P-
With the hope Of avoiding another
Madison Square Garden battle,
Democratic leaders are looking for
entirely neutral terrotory upon which
to hold their 1928 national convention.
Chairman Shaver, of the National
Committee, sal dtoday he had found
his associates practically unanimous
on this point, adding that plenty OF
such ground was offered in the bids
thsu far received from more than
half dozen cities located from the
Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Canadian border to the Gulf.
The convention city will be select
ed at a meeting of the National
committee here January IL, the call
for which soon will be issued by Mr.
Shaver. The chairman himself spoke
highly of Denver as offering both
neutrality and delightful climate. ;"
Detroit also has claims in both
these directions, it was stated, and
some of the committeeman favor the
Michigan metropolis.
Other cities that will be given con-
sideration are Boston, Cleveland, In
dianapolis, Chicago, San Francisco,
Atlantic City, Miami and Atlanta
Some Of these cities, including
Cleveland and Indianapolis are To-
Gated in states which are expect
ed to have candidates for the presi-
dental nomination and the Ain-
ion as now reflected is that their
chances probably are not as good as
one of the others.
