Holes may be found at certain lengths agree- ing with lengths on other 9 courses, but no two holes are identically alike, says Seattle S} ‘Times, No two golf turfs are of Ps identical. texture. ‘The wind doesn't blow from identically % the sume direction or with the $ same velocity on any two 4 courses. Bunker cops are found vary- i o e 3 3 o ing in height, and traps are of different depths and different sanding. There is no hard-and- fast rule as to the lengths of any course. Yet in spite of all these dif- ferences one hears announce- ments like this: “Barnes makes a world’s record for 72 holes,” or “Hutchinson wins champion- ship in world’s record figures.” TDESTTESSOTTSOTOTOTD | JOHN HEYDLER HEAD OF NATIONAL LEAGUE Unanimously Elected President, Treasurer and Secretary. Had Been Connected With Executive Office for Fifteen Years—Began His Baseball Career as an Umpire. ‘As was expected, John A. Heydler was elected unanimously for a term of three years as president of the Na- tional league, at its annual meeting in New York. He will continue at bis President John A. Heydier. present post of secretary-treasurer in addition to serving as head of the or- ganization. ‘ ‘Mr. Heydler had been acting presi- dent since the resignation of John K. ‘Tener last summer. He had acted as president once previously after the death of President Pulliam, in 1909, until his successor, Thomas J. Lynch, | was elected. He is thoroughly conver- sant with every detail of the national | game, having been connected with the | National league executive office for the past 15 years. Mr. Heydler was born at La Farge- ville, N. ¥., July 10, 1869, His first professional experience in baseball was as a National league umpire in 1898, when the double-umpire system was first established. Prior to that he was a writer, and was once sport- ing editor of the Washington Post. In 1902, at the request of President Pulliam, he compiled the National Jeague averages for that season, and he became the president’s private sec- retary in 1903. In 1907, when the of- fice of president-secretary-treasurer of the National league was split, Mr, Heydler was appointed secretary. ONE EYE ONLY, BUT CAN GOAL Remarkable Football Player Found et Georgia Tech in Person of Captain Fincher, ~ Coach John Heisman of the Georgia Tech football team, the so-called “Golden Tornado,” has been responsi- ble for many freak plays and players of unusual attainments. This year, however, he introduced to the football public a rather remarkable football | player. He is Capt. Bill Fincher, left end, wonderful tackler and America's greatest kicker of goals from touch- down. The most remarkable thing about Fincher is that he possesses only one eye, being absolutely unique in this re- spect in big college football. Though Fincher is handicapped by the loss of an eye, he still is accurate enough to have kicked 154 goals from touchdown out of 158 trials in three years of foot- bail. LAVAN LEAVES GREAT Lakes!

Least Year Before Normal Cen- ditions Are Resumed. Jim Rice, formerly coach of the Co- lumbia university crews, who is hiber- nating in New York,.thinks that it will take at least a year to get back to any- thing like a normal basis in rowing, and he does not expect to see any of: the big regattas at Poughkeepsie or New London until 1920. Judging by the action of the basketball league in deciding not to play a championship serles this year, one is inclined to think that Rice has stated the case properly. ‘ There will be rowing at the colleges next spring, according to Rice, but it will be on a more or less informal Sopriekt, Uabermosd & Dadermord Ichiya Kuriagae. countrymen copy their foreign med: eis, says an eastern sport critic. Two years ago Kumagae competed in the national championship at For- Hills, His was the old tradittonal English game, everything from the baseliue. The system got the little brown visitor past two reunds, Then Mr. Kumagae encountered George Church, who plays the aggressive net gaiae so popular with American stars. The Jap was a discouraged and pa- thetic little figure as he chased around the court first one side then the other trying desperately to compete with his opponent's tentalizing way of putting the ball just out of reach. Kumagnae learned well his lesson. He went back to his flowery kingdom and precticed the latest model of ten- nis playing, particularly the method of choking ’em off at the net. Kamagae is back among us again, aj greatly improved racquet wielder.

STORY OF “BONEHEAD” PLAY; Runner Steals Second, Then Stealq Back to First When Teammato | Is Tagged at Plate. | Jake Daubert, the best first base« man in the National league, tells a yarn about the greatest “marble-head”! play he ever saw on the diamond. t It has something on John Anders son’s feat of stealing second with a runner on the keystone sack. “The last exhibition game we played last spring was at Lynchburg,” says Daubert. : “The’ field there is insite the race track at the fair grounds,; ‘and the catcher is some distance from‘ the grand stand. There were so few spectators at the game that Manager Dahlen suggested inviting them to come. down and sit on the players’ bench. “The Lynchburg team got men on first and third in ‘the eighth inning when the runner on first was: caught off the bag on a throw by Erwin. In , chasing him up and down the line I got him within ten feet of second base, when I detected the runner on third starting for the plate. Quickly | I threw the ball to Erwin, who got his moan. ~My ian seeing the play, touched second and immediately started back to first base, which he reached safely after a Jong ‘slide, as neither myself nor the second base- man were looking for any ‘inside stuff’ of. this character. It was the prize, boneheaded stunt and beat anything‘ I ever saw.” / SERA 17 SES ‘Tribune Want Ads Bring Resulto. * BISMARCK -NowtH Dawora: . , Bring or mail.in'your films for .. +, Expert Developing hapten denayetigangoson naling tTUAUNLONN YANN Battery Repairing Exide Service Station.
