THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1930. BRINGING UP BY GOLLY-IF | DoN' ASHORE SOON-I'LL GO LOONY ON THID YACHT- Fublic links golf, now a szmm‘ enterprise annually for some 275 courses scattered about the coun- try, first attracted notice when a| municipal tournament was held at) Van Cortlandt Park, New York, in November, 1896. In contrast with the present high-powered national championship for public parks play- ers, the U. 8. G. A. recalls that 35 contestants finished the first tour- | nament and that the medal was; won by C. M. Hamilton with a 99| for 18 holes. Ninth on the list was Walter J. Travis, later amateur| champion of both the United States | and Great Britain, who used an ar-| tificial rubber tee and compiled a; score of 110. The late Willam moward Taft| was a strong early advocate of) using public parks for athletic pur- poses, particularly golf, which he ence told interviewers “is the least injurious of outdoor games to the landscape features of our parks.” ! It has been a long time since major league baseball got away to as hilarious a start as it has for the year 10 A. B., marking the end of the decade of clout, AFTER the BABE began hitting home runs in record quantities. The pre-season dope has been kicked all over the premises by the performances of such teams as, ‘Washington’s Senators and New York’s Giants. These two clubs were world’s series rivals six years ago, but neither received much of a tumble in the advance figuring, especially the Senators. Neither may be 1-2 when September rolls around but a good start is a large part of the battle. Games won in April count as much as those won in May, June, July, August and September. The pitchers took the upper hand for the get-away, but the sluggers found the range before a fortnight of campaigning. Since then the carnage has been terrific, with one day alone witnessing an average of nearly 18 runs, 29 hits and sixl pitchers for each of seven games played. The attendance and gate receipts boomed in spite of bad early :2a- son weather. The Yankees and A’s in the only two games they were able to play in April drew $100,000. The Giants played to capacity houses in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, where it was necessary to lock the gate hours before game time. And 18,000 turned out in a snowstorm at Pittsburgh for an attempted inaugural that lasted less than three innings. Earl Harry (Dutch) Clark, about whose athletic exploits around the Rocky Mountain area considerable has been written, will be gradu- ated this June from Colorado Col- lege with high honors in scholar- ship as well as a collection of 12 varsity letters. One of the great- est all-around stars ever developed | in the Far West, Clark has threc| letters in football, one in ba,sebnll' four each in track and bnsketball to show for his activities. He ha), turned down a number of flatter- | ing effers from other institutions | to return to his alma mater as a| coach next season, assisting W. T.‘ (Bully) Van de Graaff in football| and taking full charge of the bas- ketball squad. One of the most remarkable fea- tures of Clark's career is that he‘ scaled extraordinary heights of ac-| complishment in spite of poor eye-l sight. Clark wgs reluctant to ad- mit it and the fact was not gener-\ ally known that it almost cut short | ‘ his career. Bill Mulligan, former sports editor of Colorado Sprlngs.

As the players walked off the field in the dusk, the score stood 5 to 3 in favor of the Paps. The Bills scored once in the opcning frame when GoOss was nicked for a single hit.
