Squads of members, amateur sand diggers, mound makers and scenic devorators, are assigned to various holes over the beautiful Shackamaxon course, and the rivalry between the volunteer section gangs to construct the best and most diffi- cult bunkers is as keen as competi- tion for the President's Cup, ‘This new activity of club members grew out of a labor shortage which threatened to prevent an early com- pletion of the Westfeld links,” While Shackamaxon has been in use two years, many traps and bunkers re- mained unfinished. Laborers engaged on this work during the summer blew the job for more lucrative wages at nearby war factories, President W. A.

By Vincent Treanor. OOD two-year-olds are being shown up these days, The sea- son is old for juveniles and that is just why belated good things of the younger division are being put over the plate. Purchaso was one of this variety which wasn't “tried with" until he looked like a sure thing. The same is true of Senator Crow, which won the last race yesterday, Senator Crow has been a supposedly good thing in bis last three or four starts, but something always turned up in these attempts to make a victory for him anything but a certainty, A “dark horse” always seemed to drop into @ race with him and rather than take a chance, the Senator's jockey always got “waiting” instructions, Senator Crow really never got a chance to run until the start before the last, Then he was cut loose at the same time as Purchase. Un- fortunately Purchase was well meant on that occasion and Senator Crow got nothing. Yesterday in the last race at Belmont there were no Pur- chases, but there was @ gray filly named Herodias and the “form horse” Minuet in against him, Both of them were well backed to win, but when it came to the old pinch, Sena- tor Crow was “there.” Herodias ran an excellent race a8 far as she cared to go. Then she stopped. Minuet showed a good performance all the way, only to succumb to the closing drive of Senator Crow, Fairy Wand disappointed again in the Manhattan Handicap, fourth on the card, She ran out approaching the stretch turn after she had taken ‘War Department that football, permitted.

No World's Series twirler has ever pitched more consistently than Vaughan is doing. He deserves a world of credit for his development as a boxman, In 1909 when he returned to Man- ager Stallings of the Yanke being shunted about, it was said Vaughn's arm was gone and that he never would be of any service again.
