Nansen Memorial.
Last week it was one year since
Fridtjof hansen, world famous Nor
wegian scientist, explorer and phil
anthrophist, died, and on that occa-
sion the suggestion was made that a
world memorial in his honor be es-
tablished, in some form or other, since
he was i'm very unusual sense an
internationalist. The idea has met
with approving response in the United
States where DR.. hansen, personally
and through his manifold activities,

Unexpected Legacy.
On January 26, this year, Julius
Georg Peterson, a sailor who was
born in Karlshamn, Sweden, died in
hospital in Charleston, w. Va. The
Swedish government now announces
that he left an estate of about 100000
which will be distributed among his
four brothers in Sweden. They are
anything but well-to-do and were ex-

Oregon's New Berry.

When the thoughts Of most people
are occupied with furnaces, heavy un-
derwear and other Winter impediments
the orcnardists and farmers are busy
with plans for next years work. Fruit
growers are interested. among other
things. in a wild variety of black rasp-
berry which was found in Oregon
woods. During a hot. dry season when
cultivated kinds languished, this berry
thrived and even produced fruit late In
the Fall. 1t Is believed to be q cross
between the common black raspberry
and the blackberry resembling the lat
ter in leaves and growing habit. If the
fruit proves to be suited to shipping and
canning 1t will no doubt be cultivated
on q commercial basis.

in Indianapolis against Jack
Dempsey restraining him from
meeting any rival before Harry
Wills were to be introduced to-
day in the $500,000 breach of

by the plaintiffs, the Chicago
Coliseum Club, which is seeking
damages from Dempsey for al
legedly breaking q contract to
fight Wills before he met Gene
Tunney.

For instance, we have just
learned that the correct way to
spell the name of one of Wash
ington's Sandlot products now
in professional ball, Denny
Southern, is spelled just that
way, while for years it has al
most universally been spelled
Sothern.
Now here's another case at
hand, it concerns a golfer, in
stead of a ball player. This
young fellow Witty" Cox, Of
New York, who crashed the
sports pages considerably during
the winter tournaments had his
golf de plume spelled all the
way from Whitley to Whiffy to
Witty, and Wiffey, but in
quiry among Gotham golf writ
ers reveals the fact that
"Wiffy" is the spelling Of the
original nickname by which the
New York prodigy has been
known-so Witty" it shall be.
But wait. Here's another.

CAL|ENTE
UNDER PROBE

SAN DIEGO, Calf, March rs.
With an owner and a jockey
already barred from the Aqua
Caliente race track it was indi-
Gated today that the lid might
be tilted on asserted scandals in
connection with horse racing at
the Mexican resort.
DR.. George O'Connell, Whittier,
Calf, owner, and Willie Johns, a
Jockey, have been barred by the
racing stewards in connection
with a race on March 13. This
action was taken following the
allegation that Johns had been
promised 5000 if a rival mount
was returned the winner.
High officials of the track de-
clined to make any comment on
the situation.
Meanwhile the sweepstakes on
the recent Aqua Caliente $740,000
handicap is reported to be under
the scrutiny Of both the Mexican
and American governments.

Spell His Name

There probably aren't so fans
in any major league city who
could spell AL Simmons real
name, nor 100 who could pro-
nounce the difficult syllables go
ing to make up the Christian
name of the great Polish-Ameri-
can outfielder of the Philadel-
phia Athletics.
AL is really "Szem Anski," not
Simmons, and will go down in
baseball history as such. SINH
larly, Jack Sharkey, the Ameri-
can heavyweight champion,
couldn't think of sports career
with his bona fide name. he
having been born "Cukoschay,"
and Joseph Paul, at that.
Mainly in sports, and some
what in the theater world, do
we find this license for a man
to call himself whatever he
pleases, regardless of the name
his parents picked out for him.
Sharkey no doubt selected such
a name because he learned to
fight in the Navy, as did that
great Sharkey-Tom-of gen.
Grafton ago.
But it's odd, isn't it-or is it
about these aliases in sports?

Well, Carl is no more his right

CLUB TO USE
WATERING
SYSTEM
By GEORGE A. SIMPSON


The strathmeade Club expects
to open its first nine-hole course
on August l.. its builders an
nounced today. The course is
being constructed on Virginia
soil. a short distance beyond
Fails Church in Fairfax county,
and reached by the Lee Highway.
Two additional nine-hole courses
will be ready by the spring OF
1882.
Every foot of the fairway not
only for the first nine but the
additional courses will be covered
by an adequate watering system.
This is a guarantee against
drought such as the one of last
summer that destroyed every
course in this vicinity.
Those behind the Strath-
meade enterprise assert that
all fairways will be wide and
tree-lined while the greens will
be large and well-built. 1t is
further declared that the soil
is rich and free Of rocks. 1t
is estimated that $15O,O0O will
be spent on the golf course
alone.
Some of those who have in
spected the course in it's present
shape give it as their opinion
that it will rank with any in this
neighborhood. The first nine
will measure around 3.400 yards
in length with par at 36. It will
demand the utmost skill because
the terrain slopes while bitches,
streams and bunkers must be
crossed safely.
Traps Catch Slice
The first hole will be 40 yards
in length and will be par 4. It
will be slightly dog-leg with a
sloping fairway, bordered by
three traps on the right to catch
a slice. There will be a clear
opening to the green, except for
a trap on the left.
The second hole, par 5, is also
slightly dog-leg with the green
$50 yards from the tee. A
stream, $50 yards from the tee,
must be carried on the second
shot. The long g-distance hitter
will have no difficulty here but
those weak drivers will find trou-
BILE. The green is well-trapped on
the right and left.
The third is a One-ShOt hole
of 22O yards calling for a per-
feet tee shot to the green. The
fourth Is an easy par 4 Of 1858
yards. A stream, 13O yards
from the tee, should prove of
no annoyance but the golfer
must play an accurate iron
shot to the green to avoid trees
on the left as well as traps
and the stream on the right.
Number five, par four of 1885
yards, dog-leg to right, calls
for a well-placed tee shot to
obtain an opening to the green.
A ditch, four sand traps and
three mounds guard the green.
The sixth hole of AIS yards and
par 4 is said to be a test for
any golfer. An elevated green is
severely trapped to snare any
shot that strays from the straight
path.
Lake in Fairway
The seventh is par 3 Of ITS
yards on which a hooked drive
may land in the lake, while an
overdrive will fall into the trees
back of the green. The eighth is
short par, par four of $50 yards.
A lake, 125 yards from the tee,
projects halfaW across the fair
way and the approach shot must
clear a large trap protecting the
green. The ninth hole, par 5, is
485 yards long and demands
straightness and accuracy as the
green is elevated.
