GOLFERS SEEK A NEW COURSE ‘Want One on Which Championships May Be Decided. Moss Beach, Monterey County, ‘Will Probably Be the Site. LG Ty The recurrence of the annual contest for the amateur golf champlonship .of the Pacific Coast has aga! brought up the question of the urgent\necessity in this State for a full elghteen-hole course suft- able for holding golf tournaments and championship meetings. 1. P. Gower, | secretary of the Paclfic Coast Golf Asso- clation, says of the matter: This project has occupied the attention of goliers for the past yewr. It is, of course, necessary that the proposed new golf be within convenient distance of & good inasmuch as the competitors comie from con- widerable distances. As things fre at present, such a combination as that of a fine goif course and a good hotel cannot be found witain the lmits of San Francisco's immediate sur- roundings. The place which presents the most obvious general advantages, providing the re- quirements of golf can’ be ‘mdequately met, 18 undoubtedly Del Monte, ~Although not equilly distant from San Francisco and the chief goli- ing centers of Southern California, Del Monto has been generally nccepted by Eolfers as & convenient meeting ground, The primary suitability of Del Monte being thus acknowledged, it remains to obtain from the Pacific Improvement Company & recognis f the need .of & full elghteen-hole kolt #e, and then to enllst ita Interest suffi- clently to induce the company to provide such & course, The company has been approached and has readily masented to.provide for the requirements o, golfers and to hold out attractions for th on all occasions, botl when champlonship moeetings are to be decided and at other times, The directors.have under- taken to provide an elghteen-hole courses adapted to all the requirements of & chams plonship meeting, HBeveral pleces of ground have been inspected and their respective suit- abllity discussed with officinls of the Golf As- sooldtion and kome of the princlpal playefs of the coast. The present nine-hole course wt Del Monte, with a length of only nbout 2000 yards, i entirely out of the question, Even an & nine-hole course it 16 & poor one ob trous by “Which it otod the owner of the land will not permit to be cut down, Among the sites dixcussed in a traot of land belonging to the Pacific Improvement Com- puny and known as Mows Deach, The woll in feht, wandy and admiriply suited Tor u oll course, and the quality of the natural kruss in exnctly what In needed, ‘The land (s open, un- obstructed by treos, and, In additlon to ita attruction to golfers, communds beautiful views of the Paciflc Ocean, The only drawback, If it be one, to'the pros posed_course In that' It in distant wome little way from the Del Monte Hotel; but it can e by u short trip wlong part of the famous weventeen-mile drive.

The greyhounds In the running at Unfon Coursing Park yesterday were so evenly matched as to leave the spectators in doubt as to their respective ability until the last course had been decided. Some notably #trong hares upset calcu- lations by running clever dogs off their feet. Bad Boy, fayorite for the open stake, drew one of the flyers. It was in the sec- ond round, and the Boy's chances against Gold Ore were considered so good that 5 to 1 was lald agalnst the latter in the ring. At the end of two minutes the hare was still full of running and a brace of relief dogs were released. The flyer from the Merced plains outfooted the four dogs for a_time, but finally succumbed. Gold Ore retired Bad Boy to his kennel by a score of 16 points to 10, The stake was ultimately won by Aggle W, which opened at 40 to 1 in the betting. She met Roy Hughle in the final and won cleverly by a score of 11 to 6. In the special stake Bonnle Pasha beat Tralee Boy in the all-important declding course, The latter was unfortunate in getting a two-minute course in the preced- ing round, Contrary to expectations this did not take all the edge off his speed, as he led his fresher opponent to the har and secured the first turn, The hare then favored Honnie Pasha sufficlently for her to run up a winning sequence of points, the score being 7 to 4, After the tempestuous weather of tne frnvluuu day the conditions under which he sport wis conducted were ideal, The majority of the courses were sufficlently long to test the speed and stamina of the yrnyhnumll The results in detall, with udige John Grace's officlal score, follow: fipecial stake—Alameda K'Hll'll M-lrmm Lad beat Chinrini Dros,' Dewdrop, 8-0; A, I Curtis' Lost C huwl beat Pusha Kennels’ Roman Athlote, B-0; A, Il (‘urlln Leoln beat G, Shur- man'n irm A iCagle boat P, Pasha Kennels' Knpwles' I'reese Out, 18, Geary's Honnie Pasha beat J, L, Hoss' Fontenoy, 8:0; 0, Zahl's Homer Doy beat A, R, Curtls' Narois- wus, 437 T, J, lrunlql- Vlnmll t b, Hoaloy's Biiuta, 6-0; Boy Dot J, L.

The mgmbers of the fire department are anxiously awaiting the result of the meet- ing of the Fire Commissioners to be held next Thursday as the initial step in a movement to strengthen the fire-fighting force. The Commissioners intend trans- ferring many of the men, and none of the subordinates know just where the changes will commence or where they will end. The Fire Commissioners have had the reorganization movement under consider- ation fur several weeks, and notwith- standing the fact that the discussions were private the news of the proposed changes leaked out and the men have been steadlly growing uneasy. According to the plan agreed upon men who have grown old in the service and are at 8- ent stationed in the “downtown” districts will be shifted to the outlying districts, where there will be less call upon them for service. The younfer men in the de- tment will be put the places made vacant by tl transfer, and In conse- quence there ll reat walling among the subordinates. e young men who.hnvc been with Lompanlu that are not called out on an average a half-dozen times a month naturally do not relish the idea of being transferred “‘downtown,”” where at times they have four or five alarm to an- g‘ver in the twnmfi -four hours, The first ateh of men booked for transfer Thurs. ay will recelve notice eith r ta-da; ~MOrTrow 'fi. lr;t lhflruzlv :rd to move. o Commismioners wi them tho privilego of proteating '"'" o transfer, an ased on valld or re lonn l- mund ll mly be BBLAINE n as ;r :ahr 'rl IMBI,:M :: m .?Il“m'ul?; owe! o -rlgolnhla: o th th- no"v"' !o i '14 Imu nllht that T et ALk A th old mcn har\hl In lho cuy he, “and let the young nnd active momhtn do duty In the ee tlons where there Is call for ynum unfi vigor.
