Good Golf Played at Inglewood BY ALEX C, ROSE Y IVES, the popular cap-| in of the Inglewood Golf and Country club, sent his charges away to a fine start in the opening event of the 1925 competitive sea-| son at the Lake Shore links, Sat urday, by putting on a medal p handicap competition for the boys with a 16-and-under rating and one for the I7-and-over fellows. A field of 66 phayere—an excep- tionally large number for this time of the year—teed-off. Theo Leman and George Luther, a pair of “16” lads, tied for low net honors, each having cards of 91-16-75. A. M. Jones, with the assistance pf his 20-handicap rat- ing, waltzed off with the first prize in the 17-and-over division, his card being 89-20-69. Pretty good shoot- ing for a “20” at this time of the year, eh! to hear, in the very near future, about this member of the Jones family, having his allowance shaved off somewhat.

Falk came to the Sox direct from a leading Texas college. He had been a sensation as a “rah” “rah” twirler, A number of big league clubs were after him and Chicago was considered extremely fortunate in landing him.

It remained that way un-} til some time in May. Home Runs Upset Dope Suddenly pressed for outfielders, Faulk was given a chance in the opening series at New York. His first time at bat he hit a home run. Before the day was over he walloped another, made a couplt of other hits and contributed perhaps the most sensational catch of the year. That day's performance was the cause of Falk being shifted back to the outfield. The wis- dom of it was proved by the American league averages, re- cently published, showing that Falk batted better than .350. “If 1 hadn't hft those two home runs in one day I probably would | still be a fourth-rate pitcher,” is the way Falk sums it up. had no professional experience.
