MCA Spaldings Macbou Spalding» MacDou alle alls Botts ls Elks sinker Post Re There isn’t much question why the MacDougall-Southwick five won the highest hon- ors in the city basketball league this y ar. ‘Chey had class. Every one of their seven reg- ulars are given places on the three All-City fives selected for the season just completed. Three of the champions are given fi forwards, and Grover Kertis, guard, play the husky “Tramp” Murphy, M. C. crack center of the Y. t team berths. Jack Davidson and Ralph Smith, ed with the champs in most of their games this guard of the Phoenix Mutuals; Walter Wood, the A. aggregation, and Wes Rennie, pilot of the University Community five, as utility, complete the first team squad. Davidson and Smith weren't the highest played a consistent game all year and were but they! the other oring pair of forwards in the city, there” under pressur Some of forwards played great guns most of the year, but fell down when the big test came. Smith and Davidson were good for an average of four field goals a game in every tilt, which is a good percent- age for any forward. They also played the floor well. Of the other forwards in th Teague Johnny Logan, who will ur d@oubtedly lead the individual ws when the final records are com piled, and Henry Woodcock, of the University Community team, were the best. They scored a lot of points for their teams, but lacks the experience and polish of Smith and Davidson Loule La Fray. of Spaldings, and Dick Frayn of MacDougalls played goed ball all year. La Fray played & hard game, but lacked ‘the speed that featured his play of a couple of years ago in the prep school Jeague. Frayn didn’t have a chance “to play all the games, but made an impressive showing Other Good Forwards Of those men not and Schubert, of the Elks; George!

Dixon Shiveley, of MacDougalls Played a steady game. “Dix” is a poor shot, but covers the floor well) and is steady. Neal Day, of Spald- fngs, played a good floor game, but didn't shoot as well as he has done fn the past Classic Shows Well Of the other centers, Bert Classic, of Knights of Columbus, played a good game at the end of the year He got a late start. Big Sielk the Phoenix Mutuals did some phe nomenal shooting, but isn’t aggres: sive enough for consideration. Hos ley, of. Brewsters, also showed well thruout the season at the pivot position. All in all there was a dearth of good center men in the city this season. Grover Kertis, of MacDougalls, and “Tramp” Murphy, of Phoenix Mutuals, two bis, strapping fellows would make an idea! pair of guards for any team in the Northwest Fast, hard playing and good defense men, Kertis and Murphy stood out as the best defense men of the season. George Overton, mate most of the on their heels tn Kertis’ running time, was, right class and could be shifted with either one without) George} weakening the team a bit is faster than either Kertis or Mur. phy, but didn’t play quite the tight | the first team game that featured Players’ work. Harry Mooney, of the K. of C, game all season. but made up in speed and fight what he lacked in size. His man was always closely checked and ke deserves credit for the game he played. the midget guard played a bang up He was light, Botts Shot Well Botts, another MacDougall guard, played a good game. He is not only a good defense man, but a good shot. Tim Burke, the steady plugger of the Elks, was one of the best guards in the city. His ‘ack of speed in the only thing that keeps him off the first squad. ing close to a man and close check- ing, Burke didn't «uffer any In com parison with any guard in the league. ot Needles, of the the other guards, Frank of the Knights; Joe Dyke, “U" Community; Russa Maris, of the 4 a of the Rainier Post, and Goldberg, of Piper & Taft played good ball all year. Wes Rennie, of the “U" Commun ity five, was the best utility player. | A fast man, Rennie put up @ cred- itable game at forward and center nd played a hard game for the de mae.

In feet, it is dounttu Atéiention, ye members of the Earlington Golf and Country club! Don't forget to attend the dinner in the Arctic club rooms to night at 630. Following the “big cats” the ellib will hold its annual meeting, the chief business being to elect five t tees and to lay plans for the 1920 competitive season at the beautiful nine-hole course that lies along the banks of the Black river. The spring eclectic tournament of the Jefferson Park club will start tomerrow and from then to May 31 members can turn in all the “birdies” and “eagles” they can get on the Beacon hill course. Cards must be marked, circled and signed by the play- er and countersigned by a club member. The 17th tee has been moved back to its old place, which adds about 175 yards to the length of the hole, making it a hard par “4.” Half handicap allowance will be allowed in eclectic scores. Players of the Seattle Golf club will compete in the qualify- j ing round of a “best-bail and aggregate” competition at the northend links today, This ix something new in competitive golf, but it looks like an attractive addition. The entrants will be allowed to choose their own partners and play in a fourball, IShole mateh, today. Bestball and ag- gregate scores of each team will then be totaled up and the best pairs will then be drawn to play off on match play—balf handicap basis. Bob Gillespie won the monthly medal at the Seattle club last Saturday from a field of 41 entrants. Playing a 98 with a nice, big 26 stroke allowance netted Bob's card down to 72 and land ed him the medal. We have a hunch that Bob's handicap will get an alum bath in the very neur fyture. Following close on Gillespie's heels for honors were E. W. Tidmarsh, 85 12-73, and L. D. Lewis, 8814 74. The best gross score was turned in by KR. E, Campbell, who shot “82.” Work on the construction of the new Rainier course, on the Des Moines road, will be resumed on Monday and President Charlies Reynolds hopes to have part of the links open for play by next fall. Very little progress has been made In construction on the Rainier site during the winter months, dack Neveille, California's erack links’ man, who has been winning regularly in the South, will enter the Northwest tourna- ment at Vancouver, B. C., this summer, according to reports re. ceived here from San Francisco. The last time he played in a Northwest tourney was in 1916 at the Waverly club in Portland. Harold Sampson, 1919 Northwestern open champion, Del Monte, Cal., professional, will defend his title at the Vancouver meet, Among the other familiar club swingers who will perform in the Vancouver tourney are “Dixie” Fleager, Bon Stein, Claire Griswold, Clarke Speirs, Leo Steil, Jack Ballenger, Paul Ford and Theron Rongerud, of Seattle; Ruddy Wilhelm, of Portland, and Ted Barker from Butte, Mont. Bob Bone, Vancouver champion, and Heinie Schmidt, the Aberdeen star. | Northwestern golf fans are taking more than ordinary interest | in the big twoman match being staged in the East by Jim | Barnes, former Tacoma golfer, and Walter Hagen, national open champion.
