Games LINKS AT AUGUSTA CONSDERED DEAL Bobby Aids in Supervising Building of Layout With Novel Features. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OBBY JONES is in earnest B about his project of build- | ing at Augusta, Ga., a won- der inland golf course. The former world champion and one-time “emperor” of golf believes he has the making on a piece of land known as “Fruit-| lands,” just northwest of Augusta, of a golf layout that will take its place as one of the finest courses in America. And Bobby is sparing no time or ef- fort to give to the golfing world the | benefit of his many years of experience | and the priceless observations he has g Iy two decades he romped over the links seeking cham- plonships. Once every three weeks or so Bobby goes from Atlanta to Augusta, & jaunt of some 200-odd miles, to view the work which is being done on the Augusta | National Golf Course, which is coming to be more familiarly known as the Bobby Jones Golf Course. Bobby is president of the club and although the course itself is being con- | structed by Dr Alister MacKenzie, one | of the designers of the present Chevy | Chase Club course, Bobby looks it over periodically to see that things go as he wants them to go. The old time ama- teur and open king takes this business ©f building a golf course seriously. He bas incorporated in the layout many of the features of the famous holes he has played, and in building the | duplicates of the famous old world holes he has seen, he wants them to be 8s letter perfect as terrain and contour | will permit. WE visited the new course a few days ago, during a short stay in the South, and saw what Bobby is trying to do down there in Augusta, where a good many Washington golfers g0 each Winter to play the three co which are in use at present. there on a pleasant hillside, over rolling country of terrain similar to that of the Columbia Country Club course, Jones and MacKenzie have lald { course which will range from | s to 6,700 yards, with a par§ of 72." The course at present is incom- | plete, but the work of master architects can plainly be seen in the contours of | the greens and the placing of traps, and | the manner in ‘which fairways are ar- | ranged to penalize a tee shot not placed in the correct groove. The course also will have a real nine- teenth hole, not the conventional one of beloved memory, but a real golf hole of about 100 yards, stretching right in {ront of the club house, where consola- tion bets may be placed and played off. Belicying that the acid test of a goli course is its abjding popularity and not intending to build for the expert alone, Jones and MacKenzie have striven to make the course a tough one for the expert and duffer alike. OBBY had been in Augusta for several days prior to our visit, but there were lots of good Augusta folk there to explain what is happen- ing at Fruitlands. The place itself is impressive. You go in from the main road between rows of magnolia trees, hanging almost to the ground and ready at this season of the year to shoot forth their wax-like blooms. At the end of the avenue of mag- nolias, said to have been planted in 1858, is the old “Fruitland” house, the plantation mansion built by Dennis Redmond in 1854, Just what will be done with it has not yet been decided, but it probably will be retained 2s a | link with the past when a more im- pressive club house is built. At present | the major part of the construction work | is centered on the golf course. Out on the hillside, looking toward the Forest Hills course, is all the para- phernalia with which a golf course is built, and stretching away into the dis- tance are the fairways and putting greens being molded under the hands of the master. Bobby goes in for dog- leg holes, for no fewer than 11 of the holes on this new golf course are dog- lez affairs, some of them sharp benders to right or left and some with a gentle curve in the fairway. Bobby always has believed in the old Vardon axiom of playing the tee shot to open up the hole for the second shot, and also in the general theory that a bad tee shot should be penalized, and he has laid the fairways out 50 that a tee shot not in the proper spot will leave a very hard second. A | k winds through the property and | heavy pine woods make for plenty of diversion for those who stray from the line. It is planned to make most of the greens gently rolling, while a few, mostly at the one-shot holes, will be decidedly rolling ERE is the unusual thing about the course. Jones and MacKenzie be- lieve that sand traps alone do mnot | make a fine golf course. They hold | that natural hazards not only have | more charm, from an architectural | standpoint, but impose more real diff- | culty than sand traps, and the result | has been that there are but 30 sand| aps on the whole layout, an average of less than two to the hole. Consider that a course like Indian Spring has more than 90 and most | of the other courses around Washing- ton have 50 or more, and you will see | what Jones is driving at in the con- struction of the Augusta National lay- out. Several of the greens are con- structed of unusual design without a single guarding trap, but they are | under a blow to the body.

CLUB TO HOLDINGS Springfield Made Unit Farm Chain Designed to Rival Cardinals’. in . By the Associated Press EW YORK, February 24 —In their campalgn for a “farm system” to rival that main- tained by the world cham- | plon St. Louis Cardinals, the New York Yankees have taken over the Springfield club of the Eastern League. The Yankees now own outright or have an Interest in four minor league outfits of varying classification. their farm system grown to this ex- tent, they may elect to hold off on | any further dealings with the minors until they see how their scheme is go- ing to operate. Heading the Yankees' minor league holdings is the class double A Newark club _of the International League. Springfleld, purchase of which was an. nounced last night, is a class A team These are the only clubs the Yankees own_outright, but they have interests in the class B Scranton team of the | New York-Pennsylvania League, as well as Cumberland of the Middle Atlantic circult, a class C organization. The Springfleld deal was negotiated by Arthur J. Shean of Springfield and George M. Weiss, recently appointed “farm manager” by the Yankees. H. Eugene McCann, former manager of the Springfleld club and a later scout with the Yankees, has been named president of the company which will operate the club, with Weiss serv- ing as vice president. A manager is to be named within a few days. Shean had operated the team for the last 13 years. BROWN ADDS WEINER TO BOXING VICTIMS Baltimore Heavy, With 22-Pound Advantage, Is Stopped in Seventh Session. Natie Brown stood forth an almost undisputed ruler of heavyweight ring- men of this sector today following a knockout victory over Herman Weiner of Baltimore in the featured bout of the Alexandria day nursery card last night. Referee Charley Short stopped the fight in the seventh round to save Weiner unnecessary punishment. He had taken a terriffic lacing despite his margin of 22 pounds in the weights, Brown scaling 182. In the first round Weiner went down Staggering to his feet at the count of nine, he again crumpled, only lightly hit bell saved him. Weiner got in some telling licks in the fourth and fifth rounds but generally | he took a painful pasting. He was floored for a short count in the sixth. A big lump over the Baltimorean's eye influenced Short to hzlt the business in | the seventh. In the semi-windup. Walter Kirkwood was outpointed by Joey Raymond, but displayed lots of courage. A broken bone made his right hand useless after the third. He had a margin up to this time Young Perry stopped Benny Tilman in the third round, the latter going down twice.
